[ARC Review] Accidental Attachment by Max Monroe
A divorce.
A career change.
A move to New York City from “small-town” Ohio.
Not to mention, she has a bit of a medical condition that involves occasional fainting spells, mild embarrassment, and the companionship of her adorable service dog and canine sidekick, Benji.
But none of it has prepared her for this.
None of it prepared her for Chase Dawson.
Strong jaw, blue eyes, cut muscles, and a perfect swoop of superhero-worthy black hair, Chase’s features are those of a book boyfriend and then some. Obviously, Brooke would know—she literally filled an entire manuscript with it.
A manuscript no one was ever supposed to see.
Will she survive two months of revising and editing the sizzling romance she imagined with Chase in extremely close quarters with him? Or will the constant white lies and overwhelming attraction make her spontaneously combust?
My thoughts: There was so much to love about Accidental Attachment by Max Monroe; from outrageous, laugh-out-loud moments to the sexy build-up between Brooke and Chase, I was immediately drawn into the story and our main characters' close proximity cross-country adventure.
This is honestly one of the funniest Max Monroe books I've ever read, and their stories are never short on humor. But there's just something about Brooke; she's been dealt a few rough hands in life, but she constantly finds the light in everything from the tight quarters in their shared RV to the adorable superhero outfits she ensures her service dog, Benji, sports. Chase is an excellent foil to Brooke. He's the perfect combination of lax and stern (at least when he needs to be), is easy on the eyes, and is great at taking care of Brooke and her family. He's the kind of editor I bet all writers wish they had. Both Brooke and Chase play off of each other so well, but it was equally entertaining to read their inner thoughts as well.
The whole plot of Accidental Attachment was just one entertaining moment after another. From antics in the RV (both PG and not-so-PG) to the super steamy bits of Brooke's book we get to read, I was grinning while reading from one page to the next.
As a side note, I would totally read the entirety of Brooke's version of Accidental Attachment if Max Monroe ever decided to venture down an even steamier route.
Max Monroe's books are always fun rom-coms, and Accidental Attachment coupled a fun premise with a fabulous, tension-filled will they/won't they romance that definitely puts this book towards the top of my favorite Max Monroe stories.
Fans of this writing duo's hilarious writing style will not want to miss Chase and Brooke's story!
