The Husband Hoax is the first title in the Accidental Love series written by Saxon James. 


*Marriage of convenience

*Instalust/love

*Found family 


A very touching and entertaining book that combines two of my favorite tropes! You can’t go wrong with Saxon James, add in the marriage of convenience trope and the found family trope, and you have a great start to the Accidental Love series!

4/5 🌟
4/5 🌶

These might be some of my new favorite characters, both main and side. The instantaneous and unwavering support they offer each other was so refreshing to read.

I love when characters decide sex is off the table, and then instantly regret their choices. Rules are meant to be broken and these two cannot retain themselves.

Odie a la vieja

HUGE thank you to Saxton for an ARC of her wonderful newest release.

Right from the start we get a good idea of who these characters are, with their quirks, insecurities, and family struggles. The book starts with one of my favorite troupes, fake dating/marriage, and leads to real love and found family. I was laughing out loud and cringing with secondhand embarrassment for Christian. He takes clumsy mess to a whole new level. I loved Emile's dedication to helping others and wanting to do good in the world, despite the upbringing with his awful money and image obsessed family (minus his sister). Aunt Agetha with her on going threats to change her will, Kismet the grumpy cat, and the shenanigans of Christian's house mates kept me laughing from start to finish.

This book was an easy fast read and I loved it from start to finish. Anything Saxton writes is an auto read for me, and you will not be disappointed with this one. Chrisitan and Emile were a breath of fresh air, so perfect for each other, and it was wonderful seeing them find their found family and live their love story. It is a little low on the spice level, but the story flows so effortlessly that the spice wasn't missed by me. The spice is there, but not crazy spicey as some may be expecting. I give it 5/5 stars. Read this! I can't wait to see what happens next with this group! I'll be impatiently waiting for the next in the series.
