Mac is a commitment-phobe DJ well known in the local area, and a chance meeting with a crying woman sets him on a course he never expected.

Kelley has some deep trauma in her past and having relocated she has a heavy burden of work and college to balance. The last thing she expected was to find her best friend in bed with her boyfriend. 

Meeting Mac she finds herself impulsively agreeing to go away with him to Reno for the weekend. neither expected after a night of partying to wake up and find themselves married but now they need to sort out how they are going to sort this mess out. 

I didn't expect this book to hold my interest. I thought it would be a light bit of fluff to pass the time. Boy was I wrong. This book is a lot heavier than you would expect with both main characters having some serious issues in their past. These issues are dealt with in a believable, heartfelt way and while it seems a bit of insta-love is at play the romance felt believable and the reader finds themselves rooting for the two to be together despite all the obstacles. I would highly recommend this book to readers who are looking for a compelling romance with damaged heroes helping each other to heal.

I had a hard time staying interested in this book.

I was thinking this was going to be more of a light read but was pleasantly surprised by how intense and intriguing it was. Well thought out characters and storyline. It kept my attention from beginning to end. Very good read.

A charming will-they-won’t-they love story that will leave you wanting more from this author. I was absolutely hooked from the first page and couldn’t put it down till I had read every word in this book.  “Accidental Groom” was a sexy, entertaining and enjoyable read that I absolutely loved. A well deserved 5 stars book in my opinion and I would totally recommend

Rating: 2.5/5

Going into this book, I was expecting lightheartedness and it got intense FAST!!

-H: experienced instaLOVE h: went with the flow, getting over just being cheated on. 

- Heroine's backstory was very deep. I wish we had more insight about it and her. 

- There was a drunken marriage, so the title does live up to its name. 

I think this book had potential, if it went deeper into developing the characters. Also, I think the h moved on way to fast after the betrayal she experienced. 

This book just did not hold my attention as I hoped.

3.5 Stars
This was a perfect example of the cover not representing exactly the story. The cover looks more light-hearted and just a sexy romp...We got more of a confused Reno Marriage laced with real issues, personal and deep. I knew before it was ever revealed what Mac's demon was...and when it came out as to how Kelley had her life change it fit perfectly. 

This was not a light little oops marriage and you did have the author present much more.

Sexy, intense, real and addicting characters. I LOVED this book with all of my being. I wasn’t expecting to feel so many feels, but I don’t regret it for a second. Dana Mason is a new to me author, but she’s suddenly become a new to me favorite. I highly recommend this story when it hits shelves next month.

I liked this book but I feel like the author could have developed the characters better. I wanted to know more backstory. And Kelley is a dancer but she is never dancing in tne book. Otherwise I did enjoy it. Thank you for the arc.

Mac is a radio show host. While he is having a coffee he meets Kelley, a beautiful girl who is living a hard situation. 
They start to speak and they see that they share a very strong attraction. 
Mac needs to travel to Reno because of his job and he invites Kelley to go with him. Just as a casual couple. Because although it's true that they have chemistry between them, Kelley has just finished a relationship in not very good terms. Amd Mac is allergic to commitment.
So, after having too many drinks, you can imagine their surprise when they wake up being married. After their initial shock, it's the moment to take decisions. 
I liked the story. It's fun and fresh. And I adore Mac. He is just perfect. And he doesn't know it. Which makes him even more perfect.

Accidental Groom was a beautiful story of love, loss, and hurt in varying forms. Mackensey and Kelley had an instant connection that they tried to deny but were forced into a situation that left it undeniable. Both with pasts of heartache, they learn to love together. Each character had a role to play and never felt unnecessary to the story. Wonderfully written. 

I received a copy of this book from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. The thoughts and opinions expressed above are solely those of my own.

This book was heavier than I expected. I was really enjoying the story. At the beginning of a few chapters, I knew I'm going to love this book. And yes, I loved it!

I liked the plot and this book I thought this book was well written. I have some little issue with Mac's character, I wasn't feel like he is a playboy. In some chapters I felt like he is committed person and has an adorable manner. If he is a playboy, his character should be like one and he is really funny. Anyway, Mac is one if the characters I fell in love with. 

This story has a fast pace and I really enjoyed it. Seriously I was really shook when Mac suddenly became a groom. Accidental groom. What happened to Mac and Kelley was really messed up.

Kelley is a main female character and I really liked her character. I can relate with her and I kind of understand her. She has this humor which I always laughed at throughout the story. 

This book was really good and I really enjoyed it. This book will make you laugh, cry and feel all the feels. Can't wait for the next book. It also left me with this warm and fuzzy feeling. Highly recommended. 

Thanks to NetGalley and Bookouture for the eARC in exchange for an honest review.

This was definitely an unexpected read for me. Based on the blurb, cover, title, and sizzler alert, I expected a fun, crazy story. Accidental Groom had a lot of intense moments and tough subjects which I was not at all expecting. The sizzler alert might have been a bit of an exaggeration. While there were passionate moments, they were few and not overly explicit or long. 

I need to say the name Mac...Mackensey...confused me. I have never heard of a male with that name. The female lead was named Kelley, which I tend to know can be male or female. So for me, that took some getting used to as I kept getting their gender confused. 

Despite their names, I really liked the main characters. They were likeable and relatable. Both had intense histories which dramatically impacted their relationship. 

I was not nearly as fond of the side characters. Kelley's (the h) bff was, in my opinion, not realistic. I will say I hate weak females and her bff was beyond weak....and either a complete idiot or played that portrayal up so was horribly manipulative. Plus I cannot fathom the h and her bff reconciling as they did given what happened between them. I also did not care for Mac's (the H) sister. She had serious problems overstepping being nasty and causing all sorts of trouble. But then completely changed her tune and helped the h out. Wait, what? It was a little whiplashy.

The story was a bit insta love but they really did take awhile to get to the acceptance of it. I did not feel it was so absurd becauseof their pace after meeting. There was the miscommunication aspect which always causes angst and keeps the reader turning pages. The H and h both had serious baggage which slowed their insta love as well as helped to fuel their miscommunication. 

Overall, I enjoyed this novel. I also liked the author's writing style. I am not sure I will want to continue this series as there was only one side character which I liked. But this one is worth the read and can be read as a standalone.

Overall, this book was okay. Mac and Kelley were not as developed throughout the story that I would have liked. It was hard to feel connected to the characters and want to know more. Also, everything in the story just moved really fast and things would just happen out of no where. There were some scenes that I thought should have had more detail about what happened and not have been skipped over.

Don’t believe it even for a second that Mac is a playboy. He might be a commitment-phobe, but I have never seen a man freak out in such a sexy and adorable manner.

Kelly and Mac’s story is a straight outta Vegas kinda story but their chemistry is mesmerizing right from the start. While Mac feels a genuine connection with this ‘green-eyed’ girl, Kelly is all-in, even if its just a phase or a one night stand.

Mac is a heartthrob, and Kelley is the poster girl for bad fate. They accidentally get married in an all-night wedding church in Reno and regret it right away. But Mac isn’t ready to let go, even if it was a terrible mistake on both their parts.

I do have a problem with Mac’s character, especially in the initial chapters. Mac doesn’t feel like a playboy, or a no commitments person. A couple of chapters to show this aspect of his character was necessary. I think Mac is one of those characters I fell in love with, especially his dialogues which were so thoughtful and funny.

Rest assured, this is such a comforting piece of Romance. I anticipated the worst and the best, and this book left me with warm, fuzzy feelings.

Mac is a radio DJ and a local celebrity, who is a known womaniser and an ex-alcoholic.  He tends to love them and leave them as he won’t get close to anyone.

One day while getting a coffee at his local coffee shop he looks through the window and notices a woman sitting at the bus stop.  She is talking on her phone and crying her eyes out.  He is torn about going to her to ask if she’s ok, but he doesn’t want to come off as creepy so does nothing.

The following week he’s back at his local coffee shop hoping that he may see the woman from last week.  After he’s picked up his coffee he turns to survey the shop and notices that the woman is actually sat at a table working on her laptop.  He hurries to the last empty seat near her and tries to strike up a conversation.  As she’s about leave he asks her to go to lunch with him.

Kelley has been having a really tough time of it recently.  She’s doing everything she can to prolong going home.  When she does go home she spends all of her time in her room studying for her finals, in hopes of avoiding her room mate and he ex boyfriend.

Unsure about going to lunch with Mac, Kelley decides to take the risk.  After all he is a celebrity and with people knowing who he is she should be safe enough. Besides anything is better than having to go home.  Mac is surprised to learn that she has no clue to who he is and has never listened to his radio show. She must be the only person in Sacramento who doesn’t know who he is.

While at lunch Mac persuades Kelley to go away with him over the weekend as he’s working at a comedy fest.  While at the comedy fest things get out of hand.  Mac breaks his sobriety and wakes up the next to find that he’s married to Kelley.

What will they do? Get an annulment or stay married?

This is such a fun and enjoyable read with sizzle. I couldn’t put it down.  It’s a HEA that has real issues and believable characters.  I look forward to the next book in the series.

Mac and Kelley meet one day and try to become friends.  Mac is a popular face and voice in town, but she doesn't know who he is.  But they have some chemistry, and they spend the weekend together.  He notices that she's a little sad, and wants her to smile more.  She's had some pretty bad luck lately with men, friends, and she could use some fun.  That fun turns into an accidental marriage, but he's got some major baggage and so does she.

They navigate through some issues and getting to know each other, but some people in their corners are not happy with the news, and seem like they are trying to make Kelley to be the bad person.  They really do care for each other and want to try to make their relationship work.  I enjoyed this story, it was a more serious book than happy/fun but overall I enjoyed it.

Another damsel that needs to be rescued.  Yawn.  It was o.k. and an interesting story but sometimes it would be nice if not all women had to be rescued from their pasts.

Wow a time. 

Honestly, I am a sucker for accidental marriages but this one didn't do it for me folks. Off the bat we are hit with this blinding insta-love attraction where our Hero invites our heroine to a comedy festival to take her mind off her recent breakup and betrayal--and because he can't stand to be away from her. Not even after an hour of meeting him, she agrees and off they go. I got to 42% before I decided to DNF this novel as the writing and dialogue were super cheesy and I felt like the relationship between our main characters Mac and Kelley was never real or felt real. Every single scene felt rushed like we were on fast forward to get to the big plot points, making each transition (if you can call them that) and scene feel not worth my time.

This is quite a fun book with good characters you can get into, the sizzler alert on the title in NetGalley got me all excited however it didn't quite live up to expectations.  the writing style is very promising and I am keen to read more from the author to see how they develop.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read this advance copy in exchange for a honest review.
