ARC Review | Accidental Attachment by Max Monroe

Pages: 422

Goodreads Rating:  4.06 / 5 stars

My Rating: 4 stars

Genre: Adult Contemporary Romance

Publication Date: April 30, 2023

Publisher: Self published

Synopsis:

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?

My Thoughts:

ARC kindly provided in exchange for an honest review.

I know you might be screaming at me for not reading it in chronological order. My curiosity over Chase and Brooke I have to read their story ASAP. I just didn’t expect their story will be a SLOW BURN. I mean it’s over 400 pages and I’m getting impatient for them to hook up.

The story is between an author, Brooke Baker, who accidentally sent the wrong manuscript that is inspired from her crush, Chase Dawson, who also happens to be her editor. The fact he sees the potential in writing romance, he’s determined to get it published unaware that it’s about him. Since Brooke’s fantasy series has a TV show, she and Chase go on a road tour. Her medical condition (syncope) doesn’t permit her to travel via plane. TALK ABOUT THE FORCED PROXIMITY. It took time for their chemistry to build up. I was rooting for them all the way. The last minute conflict is expected and it’s really shallow and dramatic. Anyways, I still enjoy it. I just wish it’s shorter because there are fillers
