BOOKWORM REVIEW: Accidental Attachment by Max Monroe

 

RATING: ⭐⭐

Max Monroe is an immediate one-click for me. As someone who loves quirky romantic comedies, they have definitely nailed it in a lot of previous reads before.

This one wasn't quite it.

Brooke Baker is on the struggle bus when it comes to her sophomore effort at releasing a new paranormal novel. She feels like her current draft is far from living up to the expectations set by her incredibly successful first release. But she is running up to her deadline and she needs to send it to her editor. The gorgeous editor that she is crushing on so hard.

When writer's block around her paranormal release strikes, she finds her happy time in writing fan fiction about her fantasies featuring her new editor Chase Dawson. Panic over her deadline and wine apparently do not mix because she accidentally sends said fan fiction to Chase instead of her uber-rough paranormal fic draft.

This was the perfect premise that led me to jump on the opportunity to read this book. Unfortunately, it did not deliver. 

Brooke was really hard to relate to. I am fine with clumsy. I can relate to being socially awkward and quirky. Unfortunately. she just came off as being too much. The antics just started to get really repetitive it took away from a character with so much potential to have substance.

By the time we got to really know Chase, I was already checked out of the story. There was a lot of fluff leading up to the development of his character. 

I gave this book an extra star because Benji the service dog was the only charismatic element compelling me to keep turning the pages. 

** I am voluntarily reviewing an advance copy of this book. Thank you to Max Monroe and NetGalley for providing an ARC. **

ABOUT THE BOOK

A successful writer accidentally sends her new (and super-dreamy) editor the wrong manuscript. Instead of the full-length paranormal novel she promised Longstrand Publishing, she sends the fan fiction she’s written about her crush…on him—including every detail of the hot, steamy “physical activity” she’s fantasized about happening between them.

And Chase Dawson may be the hottest man alive and a super-talented editor to boot, but he’s completely oblivious that he’s the star of the manuscript he just convinced his boss to green-light.

Brooke Baker has been through a lot in her thirty-one years of life.

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?
