Blog Tour + Review: "Accidental Attachment" by Max Monroe

Today, I'm thrilled to participate in the blog tour celebrating the release of "Accidental Attachment" by Max Monroe.

Author Brooke Baker has been struggling to finish her latest book, distracted by a crush on her hot new editor, Chase Dawson. She decides to channel those feelings into a secret manuscript that was never supposed to see the light of day. Fate has other plans, however; on deadline day, panic and a few glasses of wine lead Brooke to mistakenly send off the wrong file. She doesn't realize that Chase has received the top secret, super steamy story whose main character is based on him until a few weeks later, when she arrives in his office for a meeting. Even though it wasn't the book he was expecting, he loves the new direction her writing has taken and wants to move forward with publication, leaving Brooke to figure out how to work with Chase without him learning the truth. To make matters worse, her agent informs her that she's been booked on a promotional tour in advance of the premiere of a TV show based on her first trilogy, which has been optioned by Netflix. Brooke can't fly due to a medical condition, so they put her in a motor home for a cross country road trip instead - with Chase as her driver. He's volunteered to come along so that they can work on edits for her new book while she's on the road. Stuck together in such close quarters, is there any hope of Brooke keeping her crush under wraps?

This laugh-out-loud funny, sweet story is a new favorite for me among Max Monroe's many stellar rom-coms. Brooke and Chase's slow-burn romance was perfectly paced to keep me turning the pages well past my bedtime with plenty of flirty, witty banter along the way. I liked that they genuinely seemed to become friends before their relationship turned romantic, even as they were hiding their true feelings from each other. I completely understood why they hesitated to get involved, particularly with Chase's job on the line, but that didn't stop me from rooting for them the whole way.

I highly recommend "Accidental Attachment" for all romantic comedy fans. I hope Brooke's sister Sammy will get a story of her own in the future! (Maybe Thatch has another single billionaire friend? 😊)

About "Accidental Attachment"

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?
