About Accidentally in Love:
Don’t miss the new laugh-out-loud rom com from the author of One Week ’Til Christmas!
Perfect for fans of Mhairi McFarlane, Rosie Walsh and Josie Silver.
In the space of a week, Katharine Patterson has quit her job, decided to move back home, and broken up with the guy she thought was the one.
No big deal.
Because Katharine has a plan. She’s going to open her own art gallery, just like she’s always wanted. What she’s not going to do is worry about boyfriends.
Then she meets Kit, a handsome and talented local artist. He might be the most stubborn person Katharine has ever met. He might also make her feel like no one ever has before.
And Katharine might be about to fall accidentally in love…

My Review:
Accidentally in Love is such a fun and heart-warming romantic comedy. Katherine moves back home after quitting her job and breaking up with her boyfriend. Determined to start her own art gallery, Katherine puts everything she has into her new business endeavor. Then, she meets Kit, a local artist and can’t deny the chemistry. Neither want a relationship, but they can they resist falling accidentally in love?
I love the protagonist Katherine! She’s so determined and driven once she makes a decision. As Katherine starts over, both in her professional and personal life, she learns so much about herself. She realizes what is important to her, what she is worth, and who is really important to her.
One of my favorite aspects of the story is the wonderful cast of characters. Katherine’s family and Kit are wonderfully developed and interesting. I love Katherine’s relationship with her brother and their unwavering support of each other. Katherine’s relationship with her dad and step-mom is also lovely. They are good people and a loving and fun family, and I enjoyed reading about all of their shenanigans!
I also liked the enemies-to-lovers romance between Katherine and Kit. From the start, you can tell they have a lot of chemistry. They remind me a bit of Darcy and Elizabeth when they first meet in Pride and Prejudice. They are both so prideful and have preconceived ideas about each other, which results in some interesting and fiery conversations. I loved watching Katherine and Kit grow closer and bond over their shared love of art.
The story also delves into some deeper issues like inequities in the workplace, growing and changing relationships, and break-ups, all of which are handled with honesty and realism. Who hasn’t dealt with a bridezilla friend or a break-up? The messages and characters throughout the story are very relatable.
Accidentally in Love is a great romantic comedy that will appeal to readers who like contemporary romances with well-developed characters, witty banter, and HEAs.
