Workaholic Lillian Mahoney has given everything to her job. The hugely popular lifestyle show she helped create monopolizes her time, energy, creativity, and anything remotely resembling a life. But all it takes is the show’s womanizing, egomaniac star throwing a massive hissy on live TV to utterly implode Lillian’s career in a New York minute.
Now Lillian’s hiding out in the gorgeous and completely unknown seaside village of Blink, Maine. Out of gas. A stolen wallet. A broken heel. And worse, she’s somehow managed to completely piss off the town’s resident hunk, Caleb Wright. She’ll show that hot, grumpy single father exactly what she’s made of.
But Blink isn’t quite what Lillian expects—and neither is Caleb...or his feisty teen daughter she can't help but love. And while her entire life and career are in shreds, Lillian might just discover what happens when she gives her bad first impression a second chance...
A wonderful story of letting go of the past, finding where you truly belong and looking forward to the future, Accidentally Perfect was perfect in every sense of the word. ~ Kitty – Simply Love Book Reviews
When I first started reading Accidentally Perfect, I wasn’t sure where it was going to take me. I surely wasn’t excepting a little town in Maine named Blink. I guess, Blink and you may miss it? But, it was the perfect setting for this story with a back-story that truly made the town and it’s residents come to life.
A cast of characters that will either have you rolling your eyes, laughing or sighing. Lillian and Caleb were either going to kill each other or fall madly in love. It could have gone either way. But the townspeople welcomed her with open arms. Especially when they found out that she worked for (with) Niles Sharpe. Befriending Amanda, Cassidy and Bethany was probably the best and worst thing she did. Then there was the wonderful Mr. McGruffy. The story wouldn’t have been the same without him.
Lillian fitting in just didn’t sit well with Grumpy Caleb. He knew she was up to something and he needed to figure it out. So, he’d keep an eye on her. He didn’t expect to find what he found under the glitz and glitter of the high heels, shiny sports car and attitude. He found a heart of gold and a woman that just may erase all his doubts about women.
Once I truly started getting into this story, I couldn’t stop. It was fun and funny. It was heart-warming and heart-breaking. It was annoying and yet wonderful. It also made me want to find my Blink, Maine and see what magic happens for me.
A wonderful story of letting go of the past, finding where you truly belong and looking forward to the future, Accidentally Perfect was perfect in every sense of the word.
