Have you ever felt that you have fallen in love with the wrong person?

The Right Kind of Wrong by Shilpa Suraj is the story of what happens when an unnamed person is wheeled into the hospital with a security detail that could compete with that of the Prime Minister, riddled with bullet holes and is put under the care of Dr. Aria Dubey. Intelligence Officer Karan Bhatnagar is more than she can ask for, but might just be what she needs, however he has only vengeance on his mind, and he wants to avenge the murder of his parents. Things take a turn when he disappears from the hospital. There's only one thing left to do...find the killer and end him before he ends them. Will Karan and Aria risk everything for a love that is all kinds of wrong? And yet, is the right kind of wrong.

Finding love among the scrubs when the other person is sticking needles into you is a bit unique, and this is what makes this plot interesting. The plot is simply told, focusing on both, the thriller, and the romance aspects, not letting the one overpower the other. The storytelling keeps the reader hooked as the twists are quite surprising and can make them jump out as well. The language is easy to understand and in line with the plot. Shilpa has used vivid imagery to explain the scenes, be it a spy sequence, or a romantic scene. The thing I loved about the book was the suspense that is maintained in the undertones of Aria and Karan’s love. Another aspect that stands out is the juggling of Aria’s and Karan’s feelings and how that forms a crucial part of the story. The one thing that could have been improved in the plot was that a back story of the Minister’s family could have been also introduced, rather than them being just passing characters as it could have added a bit more suspense into the plot as well. The climax was inventive and a worthy close to the story.

Coming to the characters, Shilpa has sketched the characters in detail, with their emotions conveyed properly and each of them get their own space to grow and develop. They have layers that get unveiled at just the right time and this is one highlight of the story that is applicable to the major players. Karan Bhatnagar, a hardened intelligence operative displays a soft side, Aria, a doctor shows nerves of steel, and this is what adds a wonderful flavor to the story. Another favorite of mine was Avinash and how his character plays out towards the end.

Overall, this is a romantic thriller I would recommend you to read if you like reading romance and/or thriller. The story gets a 4.38/5 from me.
