I wish we could give half stars because I would give this one 3.5. I feel that there were some plot issues but, other than that, it's a solid romance.
This is the 3rd time I've read Accidental Love and I think I enjoyed this read the most. I knew what to expect so I could let the BS moments go and let myself get into the story more without getting caught up in the implausible aspects.
If you're a romance fan, I'd recommend this book.

Was in a mood and decided to read this one again. I'd go with the three stars. The over use of the "blue eyes met green" sort of thing stood out to me a lot this time for some reason. I still enjoy the story, though.

I've read this a few times because it's still enjoyable, but the more I re-read it, the more I notice that the writing quality is not quite there. Still enjoyable, but as hurt/comfort Xena fanfic level.

4.5 but earns the rounding up. I appreciate feeling the emotions rolling off the pages. Didn't really love how the drama was dealt with, and that's why not a solid 5 from me.

Romantic, funny, a bit of irony, and 'unofficially' two of my favorite leading ladies.

I had heard wonderful reviews of this book, but I couldn't seem to agree. Enjoyable, but not what I was expecting.

If you can manage to suspend disbelief very early on (I'm pretty sure you do not move a person after you ran them over, no matter how cold it is) and accept it is just a device to get the two ladies together, this is quite a lovely story.
It is very predictable, though, and some of the plotlines were there just to try and spice it up (after all, they do nothing much else than watching TV) and were more annoying than anything else. I mean, the whole brother thing seems just filler to me, just as the foster mother was.
At some point, they have "the talk" about what they are exactly feeling for each other, and it it was all shrouded in metaphores. what if you have driven cars all your life, and now you find yourself thinking about trucks? It was both funny and endearing at the same time.
And you know, I usually harp about things that make a book sound dated, but I had to smirk when I read about printed birthday banners. I could hear the sound of that trusty dot matrix printer in my head :)
