It’s no Accident I Purposely read a Jill Shalvis
2017 has started off a little rocky for me on the reading front. It doesn’t happen very often but I have been dragging my feet to pick up my kindle. I’ve had the ARC of Accidentally on Purpose for a little while and maybe, deep down, I held off starting it because I knew that I’d need a little Jill Shalvis magic one day.
I can freely admit that Jill Shalvis is one of the main reasons why I read and review. Her books always make me laugh, smirk, squirm, frown and even shed a tear. My emotions are always being played with but never excessively. Jill Shalvis is the Queen of Comfort Reads.
I love reading (the Queen's) books where the characters are strong, smart and passionate through their expressions of love, lust and friendship. These same characters have weaknesses, moments of stupidity and can show passion through anger, frustration and jealousy. Jill Shalvis’s characters are real…warts and all.
I loved Accidentally on Purpose but I won’t need to say a lot to get you to see why.
She’s stubborn, independent, determined and ambitious…and one of the most beautiful women in four-inch heels.
He’s stubborn, independent, determined and ambitious…and one of the sexiest men in a flak vest and boots.
They have history and feelings that have been simmering for years.
Neither of them is willing to risk their hearts by exposing their feelings.
She wants the best for him and he wants the best for her.
What they don’t realise until now...
Elle with the long legs and beautiful eyes and Archer with the strong body and big...muscles are the best for each other.
…and nobody else would have them because - he’s scary, she’s cold as ice, he shows no emotions and her emotions are hidden behind a beautiful screen.
See...a match made in heaven.
Accidentally on Purpose was the type of story that I was desperate to know what was going to happen next. I went out to dinner with the family and honest to goodness, as soon as I walked in the door a big smile hit my face. It was time to return to the Mum Cave (my reading happy place) to see the Ice Princess attack, and the Warrior get his shot.
I can happily say that Accidentally on Purpose gave me the heart flutters that I love, the touch of angst that I need and the big goofy smile that I want.
Elle loves wearing her sexy armour and I couldn't help but create an outfit as a Style Setter Tribute.
