Love, Accidentally by Jaime Clevenger, Aurora Rey

4.0

Everything was different with Amelia. She wanted to take all the risks.

3.5 stars. A really sweet and enjoyable romance! A woman u-hauling her way into a very new relationship crashes the truck, breaks her leg, and meets a very charming paramedic who throws a wrench into her plans. The book follows Amelia and Finn through their growing attraction, Amelia dealing with her not-quite-suitable girlfriend, and Finn dealing with her own reluctance about entering into a relationship in this way. Their romance is sweet and steamy and just what I needed.

I feel like I say this about all the books I read from Clevenger and Rey, whether individually or collaborative, but even though the writing isn't super intricate or beautiful, I always have such a good time with their books. I love the characters and I love the settings and I love the plots. Finn was so charming, Amelia was so sweet, and it didn't take much for me to start rooting for them wholeheartedly. And I mean, I have to say, there wasn't anything spectacular or profound in this, but they were just so cute, and I was smiling all the way through. It made me happy. Since the premise of the book is based on like, the common trope of lesbians moving in with each other super quickly, and it's the mistake that Amelia is in the middle of making with her girlfriend at the start of the book, I do wish there had been a little more emphasis on the fact that Finn and Amelia did take time to becomes friends before anything more happened? Just a bit more development on the whole would have been nice.

Listened to the audiobook as read by Abby Craden, which is a huge part of why I enjoyed this, I think. A good audiobook can really make up for plain/simple writing, and I just loved her voice as always. But the characters themselves were just so good, and even if this isn't a new favourite, I liked it so much.
