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!

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 received an audio copy in exchange for an honest review.

Accidental Attachment is a hilarious, lighthearted rom com by the fabulous writing duo Max Monroe. I listened to the audiobook and as expected, CJ Bloom and Joe Arden put on a phenomenal performance. Also, while this is a stand-alone, if you’ve read previous their books, get ready for some fun cameos.

What to expect:
-Slow burn with explosive steam
-An amazing service dog Benji
-Workplace romance
-Forced proximity
-Cinnamon roll hero
-Heroine who is an author
-Hero who is an editor
-Secret crush
-Banter and sexual tension
-NYC setting

Thank you to the authors for the ARC/ AlC. Pub date 4/30

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.

Story: 4.5 ⭐️
Steam: 4 🔥
Audio: 5 🎧

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!

4⭐️

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.

Thank you to NetGalley and Max Monroe LLC for the advanced copy in exchange for my honest review.

A slow-burning treat, this exceedingly low angst romance is easily one of my new favorites from this writing duo. The hero is one of the biggest cinnamon roll sweethearts I've ever had the pleasure to read about, and the forced proximity was a major win. Not that either of these characters really had to be forced to spend time together; they're both smitten from the start, and the mutual crushes made this feel so lighthearted and easygoing. I was initially concerned that the book was going to drag - at nearly 600 pages, it's their longest yet - but it's just filled to the brim with sweet, funny, and swoony moments. Don't go into this one expecting a ton of heat or high levels of tension; these two are perfect together, and that's clear from the beginning. There's just the pesky matter of a major secret between them, which is sure to change everything once all is revealed.

The story follows Brooke, an author who has been dealing with a case of writer's block. Her last series became such a success that it's about to be made into a TV show, and she's supposed to be writing the spinoff. Unfortunately, that book hasn't been going so well, and Brooke keeps avoiding it by writing something else entirely. Meeting her sweet and sexy new editor sparked an immediate crush, and that has inspired a romance novel starring them. The characters might have different names, but it's clear to Brooke who has been starring in her fantasies lately. No one was ever supposed to see that book, but Brooke accidentally attaches it instead when submitting her latest novel... and Chase loves it. He loves it so much that he's willing to put his career on the line to publish that novel instead of the much-anticipated one. And he loves it so much that he finds himself joining Brooke on a cross-country promotional tour (in a motorhome!) while they get it edited at the last minute. And that leads to some unexpected results.

I wasn't sure what to expect going into this, but I've been a fan of this writing duo for a long time, so I didn't hesitate to take the journey once I saw the page count. I don't mind a beefy book if it's worth the time spent on it, and this one definitely was. With tons of chemistry, plenty of humorous and quirky moments, and two characters who are incredibly easy to like, I had no trouble getting emotionally invested in the romance right away. Chase makes a fantastic book boyfriend - kind, supportive, easygoing, and genuinely good. Brooke also makes for an interesting character, and I especially loved that she's got a service dog for her vasovagal syncope, which added a ton of quirkiness and a unique feel to the story. I also loved that this is essentially a road trip romance between two people who get along SO well. The vibes are relaxed and fun, the angst is low, and the only major issue is the (not so) small matter of telling Chase about the book. So I had a great time sitting back and enjoying my time spent with this couple, and it flew by for me.

Audio note: The audio is excellent! With CJ Bloom and Joe Arden narrating, you can't go wrong. Both give great performances that infuse a ton of humor and personality into the characters, and I can wholeheartedly say that the audio enhances the reading experience. Bloom has been narrating a lot of the books I've been reading lately, so I've gotten pretty used to her voice. She does fantastic job with rom coms, and I enjoyed her as Brooke. Arden is always a solid pick, and he was great as Chase. Both narrators are skilled and their voices are easy to listen to, so no complaints there. The book itself is very much a slow burn with a few spicy moments along the way, so it's a good choice for a workday listen overall (maybe start the first chapter at home, lol). The runtime is too much for a single day, but I looked forward to jumping back in every time I set it down. So I definitely recommend the audio.

JOE ARDEN!!! Need I say more?! Clearly I absolutely loved the narrators for this story! & the story itself was also really cute.

Brooke gets to live a real life romance book after she accidentally sends the fanfic she wrote about her boss, who she also happens to have a massive crush on, and sweet oblivious Chase has no idea the mmc is based off of him. Their story is funny and sweet, and everything I hoped it would be!

This was not love for me.

For starters I think the single biggest strike against my enjoyment of this book was the narrators and the fact that I listened to it. I think romcom is a really tricky genre of the audio world, it’s so easy to make the characters come off silly and/or flighty (to me at least), and unfortunately for me that’s what happened in a big way.

Add to that that the plot was definitely a “slow burn” and I felt like I just kept waiting for the falling in love part of the story to happen.

I’m opting out of nitpicking, because really the last thing I want to do is pan books or narrators, but gosh I am really hoping my next read moves me. If nothing else I’m finally feeling the pull back to something non audio.

For the Audio: 4.5/5 - Really pleasant narration! I’ve listened to both CJ Bloom and Joe Arden before and have no major complaints. Great energy and an enjoyable aural experience. My small hang up is just with the accents chosen for the characters and an occasional tendency for that to get dragged from the dialogue into the narrative. A little strange to my ears but absolutely not a dealbreaker!

The story is so sweet and fun read from the get go! Honestly it’s easy to see a mass appeal to this book. It’s got superhero references, Dolly Parton love, cute service dogs, and a heroine with a chronic condition and a side of awkward. There’s a lot in here that’s hard relatable.

Definitely an easy listening, feel-good experience. So fun, oh so fun. (And a little dirty, that too 😉) I really enjoyed, even if it got a little predictable here and there!

Thank you NetGalley for the audio ARC of this book.

**SWOON** This was my first read by Max Monroe and will not be my last. I absolutely LOVED this book. Brooke was such a fun female character, and I just adored and could really relate to her. I instantly fell in love with Chase and wanted them to *get it on*. The sexual tension was so amazing and the lead up was *chef's kiss*.

Love love love. This will be a hit!

Swoon! I have a crush on Chase Dawon, and it is definitely not a secret! Accidental Attachment by Max Monroe was a hot, hilarious, and heartfelt secret crush-to-lovers workplace romance that hooked me right from the start and left my heart so deliciously happy that I couldn’t wipe this silly grin off my face! Brooke and Chase’s journey to HEA is full of steamy sexual tension, laugh-out-loud moments, and dreamy red-carpet moments delivered with the Max Monroe wit and charm that we have all come to love!

CJ Bloom and Joe Arden narrate this audiobook, and both were audio perfection bringing Brooke and Chase to life. CJ embodied Brooke’s introverted, quirky, and passionate persona in a spot-on performance as she stepped into the spotlight and went after what she truly desired. (Yes. lady!) Joe made my heart melt as the charismatic, considerate, and dedicated Chase freaking Dawson! His delivery of those delectable spicy scenes definitely brought on a few blushes! Plus, both narrators will have you falling hard for the undeniable, steamy HOT chemistry between Chase and Brooke.

Overall, I LOVED this book! If you are a fan of a secret crush romance with a hot hunky ambitious editor, a devoted best-selling author, a trusty service dog named Benji, drunk emailing the wrong book to your editor, a three-week Netflix tour, close proximity, squirrel attacks, singing along with Dolly Parton, dedicated meddling sisters, date nights in Vegas, red carpet moments in LA, steamy times in a motor home, speaking your truth, and a HEA that will accidentally attach to a special place on your heart, then you will love Chase and Brooke’s romance! I always look forward to more from my favorite author duo, Max Monroe!

I listened to this audiobook, and absolutely loved it! It has been a while since I've found a romance book that would go on my all time favorites list, but this is one. The characters were realistic, lovable and quirky at times, the story was funny, and there wasn't too much drama. I haven't read a Max Monroe book before this one but I will definitely pick up another! The audiobook was a good quality, no complaints. I would recommend work on the cover art to make it more modern, I feel like this could be a lovable romcom that could be super popular on tiktok and other social media if the cover looked more similar to the others that are currently popular, because people do judge a book by it's cover.
