That is not how science works. Just. Wow.
Although she did manage to invest a lot of money, and there are a lot of research physicians peddling cures for diseases if you pay enough, so maybe it's not that far-fetched.
Except, it worked. And everything turned out happy. Meh.

Accidentally Yours was touching, clever, funny, heartfelt, and romantic! It's so much more than the synopsis and cover elude to. I was little prepared for the feelings evoked by this emotional story. Of the thirty-one Susan Mallery books I've read so far, this gem now holds the top spot for favorite! I can't recommend it heartily enough!

I love this book. It is by far one my favorite by Susan Mallery. If you're a fan of her books or any romance in general, this book will probably blow you away. Don't miss it!

I'm going to preface this by saying that I normally love Susan Mallery books. However... this was not one of them.
Kerri Sullivan, the "heroine" of this story really annoyed the crap out of me. This book came so close to DNF for me. Yes, I get that people will do anything for their children but this is just ridiculous. Blackmailing a really rich man and playing on his emotions to try and save her son? And said billionaire going along with it. This book is just too twee. It doesn't deal with Nathan's emotions
Save your Susan Mallery reading for her Buchanan's or "Fool's Gold" series.

they just end up getting married and having more children. He never works through his first son's death. And there's just a miracle cure just as Kerri's son is about to die? I hate, hate sad books but his death would have made this story so much better.Save your Susan Mallery reading for her Buchanan's or "Fool's Gold" series.

Realistically, 2.5 stars. The medical miracle that saves her son is too convenient to be believable and the resolution between sister and brother was too sterilized.

Kerri Sullivan is a great mom to her 9-year-old son Cody, who suffers from a debilitating disease that has no cure.
Her research has led her to a researcher who was close to developing a potential cure before his lab burned down, which stopped the research. Determined to do all in her power to keep her son alive, she seeks the help of a billionaire who lost his son to the same disease, hoping that he would provide the funds for a new lab.
Unfortunately, the aforementioned billionaire, Nathan King, is less than receptive to her offer and she has to resort to more extreme measures, forcing his hand. Less than happy with the developments, Nathan provides the funds but they come with some conditions of his own.
The two adversaries start developing unexpected feelings during the time they end up spending together, but they both have their own sets of issues to deal with before eventually getting their happily ever after.
While I really liked Kerri as a heroine in the beginning, admiring her for being an amazing mother and enjoyed her interactions with Nathan, she lost a major amount of points when.
Nathan dealt with the situation as best as he could, giving her space despite disagreeing with her, but by the time she got over her issues, the warm and fuzzies were gone for me.
Regardless, the story was engaging, even with the annoying parts, and ends with a satisfying happy ending that wrapped things up in a bow all neat and tidy.

her belief that her vow to god that she would devote her every waking moment to her son meant that if she did anything for herself meant that her son would suffer for it. While I understood her guilt for enjoying herself when her son was dying, I found my patience with her draining rapidly the more irrationally she behavedNathan dealt with the situation as best as he could, giving her space despite disagreeing with her, but by the time she got over her issues, the warm and fuzzies were gone for me.

This book was a little predictable. I did like the twist of the son being sick from a disease without a cure, but research being close to finding a cure. But I did feel that when it came towards the end of the book I didn't connect as a mom like I did throughout the rest of the book.

It was ok - not super, but not painful. Maybe a few to many big subjects for a lighter book (child loss, OCD and related mental health issues, suicide, murder, terminal illness).
