A laugh out loud book, great narriation well acted.Great characters and story a delightful read.I will like to read more from this author.

I enjoyed this book for it's fun and silliness. I do love an accidental attraction so much and this attraction didn't disappoint. Chase was my favorite character, he was charming and honest. I loved the way he was vulnerable and didn't really hide it. Brooke was quirky and funny if a little too self-deprecating for my taste. I have to add that i don't love lying (even by omission) it just causes drama and break ups in the end so there is never any surprise when the truth comes out.
The narration was just ok for me. The characters felt over the top at some points for me. Both narrators are good at the job, they just didn't work wonders for me with these characters.

Review👩🏻💻
This was a cute read about a writer and editor. The FMC is fun and quirky. The MMC is definitely giving golden retriever energy. This was a very, very, very slow burn, but the ending was worth it! I think my favorite part of the book was the service dog that the FMC needed due to fainting frequently. I love when animals are big parts of the story line. I liked that there wasn’t much drama between the two characters, which made them feel more realistic. I liked the writing style too. The only thing I didn’t love was how long it was. I just wanted to know the ending quicker!
Rom com👏🏻
Forced proximity👀
Slow burn🔥
A very cute service dog🐕

Sassy, sweet and utterly hilarious, Accidental Attachment is officially a hit.
With awesome characters, a captivating plot and the ultimate meet-cute turned HEA, this book had me swooning (without the aid of a medical condition). Proving that sometimes two wrongs CAN make a right, Brooke and Chase's comedy of errors, fumbles and bathroom squirrel attacks is the perfect cure for the Monday blues, Tuesday feels, and hump day hurdles all in one package.
A special mention goes out to MVP narrators CJ Bloom and Joe Arden for their incredible performance, breathing life and laughter into these characters fabulous characters, making this hilarious, lighthearted and so meta rom com better than my wildest dreams.
5 stars and a canine sidekick

Brooke, a successful author, makes a boo boo by sending her new, good looking editor the wrong manuscript. Instead of the paranormal book he was expecting from her, she sends him the explicit story she's written between him and her, though with different names thankfully! Chase, Brooke's new editor can't believe how hot the book is throwing his support behind her new project. But as the edits keep going, the two grow closer and Brooke knows she's going to have to come clean.
This was a sweet read with some really funny moments thrown in. Both narrators did an exceptional job, bringing their characters to life. I loved listening to them both. This was my first Max Monroe book but it definitely won't be my last.

Witty, charming, and with quite a few laugh-out-loud moments, "Accidental Attachment" was a breath of fresh air.
I loved Brooke's humor and her heart. Brooke is self-deprecating, clever, funny, and a tad insecure. She was dynamic in her complexity and utterly relatable. I also live with a chronic condition, and seeing how Brooke approaches her Syncope along with Benji-her superhero of a dog-made me relate to her character on a level that I don't usually find with most fictional characters (or even real people). I also really liked how much vulnerability Brooke has in wearing her heart on her sleeve. She loves without reservation and I found that to be absolutely endearing.
Our hero of the story, Chase Dawson, was a great character. He was vulnerable and kind and I loved his admiration of Brooke as an author and as a woman.
One of my favorite parts of the story took place toward the end and pulled a few tears from this readers eyes-I was not expecting that for a rom com, but that goes to show how great this story was at getting to the heart of these characters.
I hope that Sam-Brooke's sister-is the star of the next book! I loved her and Brooke's relationship and how they supported one another when they were in their own arduous situations.
If you like a contemporary romance with mutual pining, close proximity, a unique heroine, a hero who appreciates all aspects of the heroine's personality, and a wonderful canine sidekick who has a superhero wardrobe to envy, then this just may be the book for you!
Note regarding the audiobook: The audiobook was narrated by CJ Bloom and Joe Arden. They did a fantastic job and I would read a book narrated by them any day-it is hard to find audiobook narrators that flow well and exude the personalities of the characters they are reading while keeping the reader 100% engaged.
I read and reviewed an advanced copy of this audiobook thanks to Max Monroe via NetGalley. All opinions are my own.

When you open up a Max Monroe book, you know that you are in for so many laughs. And this was no different.
Brooke has had a crush on her editor Chase since she met him. So what does any sane person with a crush do? They write a book about their fictional romance. And then during a wine induced mindset, they send it off to said editor instead of the book that they are supposed to turn in. And then naturally that book is so well received by their editor that said editor knows it is going to be a hit.
Yep, that all happened to Brooke. And to top it off, every time she has been in Chase's presence since the incident, she has passed out, totally normal from a medical condition that she has.
And to make matters, worse, or better depending on who you are asking, Chase has offered to drive Brooke around in an RV for her three week book tour.
During the book tour, Brooke and Chase get closer and closer and Brooke's crush deepens, while Chase realizes that he also has feelings for Brooke. But how will this relationship survive once Chase finds out that Brooke had an obsessed level crush on him and that this amazing book he is editing is actually about him? Well dive in and find out!
Whenever I read a Max Monroe book, I immediately know that I am going to be in for some amazingly sarcastic banter and Brooke, and Chase at times, BROUGHT THE BANTER. The one liners in this book were phenomenal! This is my first Max Monroe book where there wasn't a big friend group bouncing off of each other, so that was definitely a different direction that this book took. But it only made Chase and Brooke that much more immersed with only each other.
Now onto the audiobook narrators - I LOVED the choices of narrators for this one. CJ Bloom is a great female narrator and Joe Arden has my heart, so I will literally read anything and everything that he narrates.
In all, if you want the laughs, you definitely need to pick up this book!

The thing that I love about Max Monroe's titles is the manic chaotic good that their characters emanate. As a reader of their titles, I find that I am not only endeared to them, and laugh-out-loud amused by them, but I always really root for the characters to succeed in their relationship attempt but also whatever is going on in the plot too.
In this case, Brook sends the wrong file to her editor and ends up spiraling when what she sends is not only so good that it's worthy of publication but also a steamy fan-fiction of her and said editor. Add in a promotion roadtrip, forced proximity in an RV, and some seriously cut up funny but heartwarming moments ... this is a classic Max Monroe rom-com. A truly enjoyable, fun read!

Gah!! I swear this is all of your favorite rom-com tropes all wrapped into one great book - with a dog in superhero costumes added in for good measure!
This was my first Max Monroe book, but I will definitely be checking out their backlist!
Thanks to #NetGalley and the publisher for early access to this audiobook in exchange for an honest review.

3.5/5 rounded up

This was a fun, light hearted rom-com that had me giggling several times. Brooke is a writer that has a major crush on her new editor Chase. So much so that she write's a spicy fan fic starring her and Chase. When it's time to submit her new book, she sends the fan fic by mistake. Hilarity ensues. I really enjoyed this one.
Thank you to Netgalley and Dreamscape Media for the advanced listener copy.

Brooke Baker is a successful author. She wrote a best selling series that is being adapted by Netflix. She was contracted for a spin-off, but it is not going well. To distract her from the awful follow-up, she has been writing a erotic romance about two people- based on her and her book editor. When her deadline arrives, she sends off the awful spin-off, except, she didn't. She accidentally sent her romance!
Chase Dawson just moved to NYC after accepting a book editor position at a major publisher. He is shocked by Brooke's book- as her previous series was paranormal and now she has sent a contemporary romance. And not the book she was contracted for. But it is good, really good. So good that he is willing to put his career on the line and do whatever it takes to get it published. Even drive Brooke's RV on a press tour all over the country.
I liked Brooke and Chase. I found their relationship cute and the book was funny. However, it was waaayyyyy too long. So much will they/won't they angst. Which is good, but there such a thing as too much, and this book fell into that trap.
Joe Arden and CJ Bloom narrate the audiobook. Perfection, as always.

I thought this book was cute. Normally I love audiobooks but, in this case, I think I might’ve liked the story better if I read it myself. I did not care for the female MC’s narration. CJ Bloom has a distinctive style and a nice voice. I just felt her enunciation was too perfectly clipped and possible too “emote-y” for this book. I did like Joe Arden’s interpretation of the mail MC.
As far as the actual book content, it was cute. Cute service dog, cute close proximity situation. No deep dive in character and not really a lot of chemistry for most of the book. It seemed as though an inordinate amount of dialog was devoted to references to pee, poop and puke there for a while.
Thank you to NetGalley and Max Monroe LLC for this complimentary ARC. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

I adored this book. It was cute and quirky, just what I love from Max Monroe. I loved the dynamic between Chase and Brooke. Prepare for a slow burn y’all!
I think my only complaint is that sometimes chase would tell us how he thought Brooke was just hilarious when I didn’t really think she was being that funny lol but I guess that also could just speak to how when you’re infatuated with someone, everything they do is just 😍
Overall I think this was adorable and I enjoyed it all the way through!

Thank you netgalley for the audiobook is amazing.
Brooke is an author who is divorce and she has a condition that make her faint so she has a service dog Benji that goes everywhere with her to warn her when the next episode will occur. She had a deadline and she send the wrong book to her publisher. It's about a two couple that work together and have a forbidden relationship and it's base on Brooke and chase.
Chase work in publishing and he moved after his break up from his fiancé once he received the manuscript accidental attachment he love it.it's different from what Brooke has written before so he pitches it to his boss and told him if it fails it his 🍑out the door.
Love the character it’s hilarious I laugh the way Brooke talk to Benji with no response and then chase and his sister because she a fan girl

Thank you @netgalley for a copy of this audiobook. A book about an author and an editor, sign me up. I loved this from the first page and how the manuscript sent to her editor was by accident. The tension and banter between Brooke and Chase was amazing. I love all the funny and tender moments. Benjamin, the support dog, was such a cutie too. The story is told in dual POV and the narrators brought the story to life.

This book was fine for a light romance novel. The storyline was fun with forced proximity. There were some cute and humorous parts, mostly with Benji the dog - but some of the dog storyline was a bit overboard with Brooke trying to track down a dog she thought was the love of his life. The romance between Brooke and Chase was good and felt earned. However, some of the spicy content was a little over the top and decidedly not sexy (he was so big she was worried he wouldn’t fit without an episiotomy?!). The audio was really well done, I enjoyed both narrators.

Wow. I have not read anything by the Max Monroe authors but after reading Accidental Attachment, I look forward to reading more by them! Fingers crossed that we get a follow-up novel on the main character's sister. For anyone who looks for my 5 star reviews, this is a recommendation for my steamy romance-loving friends.
What starts as an email error with the wrong attachment turns into a cross-country, close-proximity romp with lots of spice. Between Brooke Baker and Chase Dawson, there is continual suspense as to when they will get together, but super spicy stuff is throughout via excerpts from the main character's novel and her own fantasies. I absolutely loved the characters in this book, possibly the ultimate favorite being Bemji, Brooke's support dog in various superhero costumes. My partner has had a few vasovagal syncope occurrences (in a much lesser degree than the main character), so I may still selfishly try to push for our own 'Benji' super-hero support dog. :)
I was lucky enough to get an early copy of the audiobook and I consumed it in a day. I leave this review voluntarily and hope others get to enjoy this one as much as I did!

The premise called out to me right away! 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.
What a fun and fast read! It hooked me right away and had me laughing & smiling throughout. Brooke and Chase’s romance was entertaining, hilariously funny, and the steam was definitely fogging up the windows of that motorhome. 😆 I couldn’t get enough of Benji and I loved all of the superhero and Dolly Parton references.
What I enjoyed;
✨Slow-Burn Romance
✨Forced Proximity
✨Cinnamon Roll Hero
✨Super Hero Benji
CJ Bloom and Joe Arden were are some of my favorite narrators and no surprise, they were amazing! They added so much humor and personality to Brooke and Chase. If you’re an audiobook fan, definitely give this one a listen.
