About Accidentally Perfect:
Publisher: Entangled: Amara (February 22, 2022)
Mass Market Paperback: 400 Pages
Workaholic Lillian Mahoney has given everything to her job. The hugely popular lifestyle show she helped create monopolizes her time, energy, creativity, and anything remotely resembling a life. But all it takes is the show’s womanizing, egomaniac star throwing a massive hissy on live TV to utterly implode Lillian’s career in a New York minute.
Now Lillian’s hiding out in the gorgeous and completely unknown seaside village of Blink, Maine. Out of gas. A stolen wallet. A broken heel. And worse, she’s somehow managed to completely piss off the town’s resident hunk, Caleb Wright. She’ll show that hot, grumpy single father exactly what she’s made of.
But Blink isn’t quite what Lillian expects–and neither is Caleb…or his feisty teen daughter she can’t help but love. And while her entire life and career are in shreds, Lillian might just discover what happens when she gives her bad first impression a second chance…

My Opinion:
Sometimes you just want to escape into a world you will never inhabit. A world away from the laundry, the kids if you have them, cooking dinner (although if you have to cook be sure to check out some of the yummy dinner recipes I have here on the blog!) That is why reading a book is such a wonderful escape – especially a fun, light book like Accidentally Perfect.
In this story we meet Lillian who is the woman behind a burgeoning lifestyle show – only the people that watch think the person in charge is the star of the show, Niles. In truth Niles is an egoistic, bombastic fool who couldn’t cook his way out of well, anything.
When Niles loses it on live TV he blames Lillian accusing her of purposely sabotaging him. To try and cool things down – as Niles has a contingent of rabid fans – Lillian gets away until things can cool. She finds herself in a teeny, tiny town called Blink.
Let the jokes begin….
But the reader gets is not a joke but rather a delightful romance that builds slowly and comes to a very lovely conclusion. Lillian learns that she should be herself, that she doesn’t have to hide behind anything. She also finds the truth of love.
It was a quick, easy read as I noted but one I thoroughly enjoyed.
