Randall Wise is the quintessential good guy. However, all of his friends are married and he’s still single. Rand is positive that good guys finish last at love and decides he needs to change if he’s ever going to find the woman for him. Brenna Thorne is a klutzy but cute would be witch who moves in next door to Rand. Men always think of Brenna like a sister. They never see her as girlfriend or mate material. Brenna longs for a man of her own who sees her sexy side and all the love she has to give. A little magic from Rand’s godparents, a familiar who isn’t a familiar, and a host of well meaning, but surprising friends help Rand and Brenna see that all you need to find your mate is a heart that is open to love.

Reviews for The Wise Guy

Rated: 5 – A Reviewer Top Pick at Night Owl Romance!

“The Wise Guy is the first release from author Lex Valentine. It is a wonderful story about coming into your own, and finding that one special person that you are meant to be with. It is well written, with characters that catch your attention and hold you for the entire time you are reading. My biggest hope is that this will end up a mini series at least, or that the author writes more along this line. I am definitely looking forward to reading the next book as soon as I can.”

Rated: 5 Delightful Divas and a Recommended Read from Dark Diva Reviews

“I couldn’t read fast enough! With a magical theme, this story definitely appeased my appetite for fantasy and it was very well written. The love scenes were so hot, I’m surprised my husband didn’t have to hose me down to cool me off. Kudos, Ms. Valentine, for creating such a scorching but entertaining read. I give you 5 Delightful Divas and my Recommended Read for August!”

Rated: 4 Tombstones from Bitten By Books!

“The Wise Guy: Sunday’s Child is a fun story of two people trying to change their core selves, failing miserably and yet winning the most important thing of all. It’s full of great characters, a great storyline and steamy erotic sex.”

Rated: 4 Kisses from Two Lips Reviews!

“Lex Valentine has a sexy, sassy magical tale of love in Sunday’s Child: The Wise Guy. I love Randall; he is sweet, loving and kick-ass in the magical department. He has a mass of contradictions that are sexy to watch unfold. Brenna is a witch. She is strong, loving, and a really good friend. When she and Randall get together you can almost see the sparks fly off the pages! The sub-story with August and Zoe is really funny too. I loved the injection of humor in this super sexy romance. When you want your love magical, light, and full of fun you want Sunday’s Child: The Wise Guy.“

Rated: You Need to Read from You Gotta Read Reviews!

“When I picked this up to review I was thinking it would be just a light sweet read but these pages sizzled. The love scenes are well detailed and steamy and the characters are very interesting… In The Wise Guy you are given a glimpse of this world of witches and mages and I certainly wish to see more. So go ahead and pick this one up, you won’t regret it.”

Rated: 4 Cups by Coffee Time Romance!

“Ms. Valentine has written a cute and funny story with a great moral in it: be happy with who you truly are because there is someone out there waiting for you. Sunday’s Child-The Wise Guy pits a clumsy but funny Brenna against Rand, a friendly and good-guy type who is sick of always being on the sidelines. Meanwhile, both Rand and Brenna’s friends are watching out for them in a way that will have you gasping in shock. With some very interesting characters and even a hint of danger, this is a good story to read.”

Rated: 4 by Book Wenches

“‘Thoroughly enjoyable’ is how I would term this quirky romance. The story is unique and refreshing with just a smidgen of darkness to entice the reader. Rand and Brenna both seem to have an uncertainty about love, and that makes them come to life within the pages of the book. Rand’s attitude that he needs to be more of a bad boy to attract women makes me think of how men might really think, and I believe the author has hit the nail on the head. Brenna is adorable; I love the klutzy part of her character, because I can personally relate, and the infusion of humor adds a great balance to the story as a whole. These two characters work very well with each other and the paranormal aspect adds a great dimension that rounds out the story perfectly. The sex is hot, hot, hot! Though part of a series, this book can stand alone. Ms. Valentine’s talent shines throughout The Wise Guy and I can’t wait to read her other work.”

Rated: 4 Cherries from Whipped Cream Reviews

“I would imagine that this book would be great as a series, so that the author would have an opportunity to expand on her plot and the mysteries of witches and mages. Her secondary characters alone would do well as leading characters in other books, because each character in this book was interesting and has a story to tell.”
