OMG. What a laugh-out-loud, fun story Accidentally In Love with the Pilot was. Teri Anne Stanley gave us 2 characters that you couldn’t help but fall in love with. Ben and Megan were a bit quirky and absolutely wonderful!

Ben … shy, tongue-tied and incredibly sexy. How he ended up in the situation he was in, he’ll never understand. He does know that his “wife” is sexy-as-hell and he can’t keep his hands off of her. His job keeps him away a a lot, he has no idea how to interact with people, has no idea how to be a husband or father and knows that she deserves more than a part-time husband. Besides, with her family, he has no idea how he would fit in to her schedule. But, she needs someone to run interference, get her to see that she can follow her dreams and just take care of her. Now, if he could get the balls to tell her that he really doesn’t want to find the wedding chapel and would really like a shot with her, he’d be a happy man.

As for Megan, well, here’s where the quirky really comes in. She’s the manager for the Waltzing Wallaces … her circus of a family … and feels like they would just fall apart without her. And, besides that, she owes them since they were the ones there when nobody else was. She knows that Ben is going to run and hide when he meets the crazies and can’t blame him. Why would a hot pilot want to spend any time with her or her family. But, waking up married to said hot pilot could have it’s perks. It’s only for a month, they will find the chapel that married them, get it annulled and he’ll be back in the Navy while she is stuck in Vegas dreaming about the life they maybe could have had. Knowing that her family always scares away her boyfriends, she can’t believe it when he integrates himself into the middle of it all. But, he’s off … she’s lonely … feeling sorry for herself … depressed that she didn’t tell him exactly how hard she fell for him. She can’t follow her dreams now – there is no one to push her to do it.

I actually laughed through most of this story. Both Ben and Megan and her family had me in stitches. It’s been a while since I read such a fun, well written book by an author that always holds my attention. And the ending to this story brought tears to my eyes. It was sweet. It was funny. And it was definitely classic Ben and Megan.

An encounter in Las Vegas turns from a drunken night ceremony to trying to undo the words that promised forever. Two unlikely souls that find a balance with each other and the best time of their lives.

Fighter pilot Ben Rutledge loves his solitude. Which means spending a month of leave in overcrowded, over-glitzy Las Vegas isn’t up his alley, especially after his friend ditches him. His first inclination is to bow out, and quickly. Instead, he finds himself sharing drinks—and a whole lot more—with a sexy woman celebrating her birthday. After all, it’s just one night, and he can go back to his quiet life tomorrow. Megan Shuttlekrump doesn’t have time for a boyfriend, much less a husband. But a night of celebratory drinks with a handsome stranger ends with a ring on her finger—and no memory of how it got there. Her new “husband” is over the top hot, but he’ll be out of her life once his leave is over. As long as they can find out which of the thousand or so chapels in Vegas married them…
This was a cute and sexy read that was quick to go through and exactly what I needed after the last few reads. I liked both characters and enjoyed watching them try to figure everything out. I recommend.

DNF at 45%. I was not able to engage with the characters in the story and I did not like them, at all.

Accidentally In love With A Pilot is a light and easy to read story about a chance meeting and the subsequent outcome.

Ben is a fighter pilot who is on leave for a month. He is shy and avoids being in the limelight.

Megan is in the family entertainment business. She organises the events amongst a myriad of other business and family day to day occurrences.

There is a change of plans in Ben's organised life and he is suddenly in limbo. He is volunteered to deliver a birthday cake on behalf of a friend and this is where he meets Megan. Whilst having drinks at the bar, they exchange stories and find that they both have abandonment issues. What happens next is a mystery as when they wake up the next day, they have little to no recollections of the night before. The obvious rings on their fingers point to one conclusion. Megan loves her job and her family. Being tied to anyone is the last thing on Ben's mind. Can they resolve this most unexpected turn of events? If so, how?

Despite his shyness, Ben is a gentle and lovable person. He handles the situation wonderfully well, considering there might be other complications. Megan means well, but her constant denial and the need to please her family wears a little thin. It's not an unusual concept, but it's a fairly good story. Despite the family demands, their predicament and their jobs, Ben and Megan develop a good relationship. Even though they deny their true feelings during their time together, they have a happy ending.

I was kindly issued with an eARC and the views expressed are my personal opinion.

Ah, the accidental marriage story! This was a fun book from start to finish and I found myself thoroughly entertained all the way to the end. The interactions between Megan and Ben were highly charged from the moment they met, and that is one reason why this book is great. Another thing that makes this a worthwhile read is the character development: the backstories for both Ben and Megan, and how their lives shaped them into the people we meet in the story. The dialogue flowed well, sometimes intense, sometimes flirty and playful.

Megan Shuttlekrump is a devoted family member and would do anything for those she loves. It's why she doesn't have time for a relationship. However, when the gorgeous Ben Rutledge enters her life, she realizes her life will never be the same, especially when she discovers they're married. Will Megan give Ben a chance or will she walk away from her shot at happy ever after because she'll never be able to give Ben the time and attention he needs as her husband?

What a highly entertaining and charming read Ms. Stanley has delivered in this book where the main characters were fantastic, especially from the moment they were introduced to each other; the dialogue was compelling and had me laughing at times because the heroine's family are a bit full-on when they're all together and protective of the heroine, which is proven with their reaction to what they believe is her acting out-of-character. She's always the reliable and sensible one and it felt at times they took her for granted because she's always doing things for them.

As for the dialogue, it was intense due to the main characters back stories, but I loved the playful banter between the hero and heroine at times, as they deal with her family's quirkiness and the fact that they're married. Will they stay married? Will they ever discover what happened the night they were married? Moreover, the heroine is resilient, courageous, kind, caring and I liked that she would do anything for family, especially since they've done so much for her. While the hero, he's confident, charming, has an interesting career and I loved how determined he was to win the heroine over when it comes to their marriage because she's the first woman to spark something inside of him in a while. I also enjoyed the love he had for his job.

Overall, Ms. Stanley has delivered a superb read in this book where the chemistry between this couple was intense; the romance was delightful and had me loving this couple together; and the ending left me completely satisfied with how things turned out for Megan and Ben. However, it was the epilogue that wrapped this story up perfectly because of the surprise the heroine has for the hero when it comes to how hectic their future is going to be. I would recommend Accidentally in Love with the Pilot by Teri-Anne Stanley, if you enjoy the accidental marriage trope, the mysterious strangers trope or books by authors Kadie Scott, Stefanie London, Kira Archer and Heidi Betts.

So, what happens in Vegas doesn't always stay there. Super fun accidental marriage story.
Many thanks to NetGalley, the publisher, and the author for my ARC. All opinions are my own.

This author has hit the trifecta of lovable characters, insane chemistry, and equal parts hilarity and steamy goodness that made this book such a pleasure to read from start to finish. Super excited to see what book she brings out next as I know it’s going to be just as fantastic as this one was 😊 absolute recommend

A great drunk marriage love story. Ben is a quiet guy who doesn't like to talk to people and when his buddy stud him up from a fishing trip he meets Megan totally opposite of him. So their evening ends up with hot action in the sheets and with wedding bands on their hands but the problem is they don't remember it happen and after finding that condom broke they make a deal to wait one month knowing each other and finding the chapel. And in this month they fell for each other but the problem is they don't confess it to each other. It is a funny great sweet story. Both Ben and Megan are easy to fell in love and they really have a great story.
I volunteered to review an ARC of this book for Netgelly

I have tried several times to read this book and I just can’t keep going. I’m board and these characters, while she has a crazy and has a wild family he is completely the opposite and so bashful and shy. The waking up hungover and married and then the broken condom all so predictable. With him being a pilot, I was expecting a strong alpha male but got a quiet guy. It just didn’t hold my attention or draw me in to make me want to keep reading.

If I want to enter into a world that will brighten a day or lighten a load this author can do that with her stories and characters. When I seen this one I knew I had to find out exactly how you accomplish accidentally falling in love. This centers around Ben and Megan starting with a birthday. What happens next is what turns the screw in keeping you following them. The elements are what is needed with chuckles inbetween on my part. The characters that go with these two make for some entertaining reading to be had.

Ben and Megan's book was a breath of fresh air. When Ben's trip changes plans and he helps out a friend with a delivery he comes face to face with his soon to be wife. One night in Vegas leads to a drunken wedding and a month to find out where they got married.

Megan is a native to Vegas working as part of her family's show. But she is always doing something for everyone else. It made the read more interesting to peel back the layers of Megan. Ben and Megan are opposites but fit so nicely together.

I enjoyed seeing the growth of a real relationship. The antics of the family members. The realism that the author achieved with this book. This book was exactly what I needed to read at this time to get me out of a funk.

This was a good read. The writing flowed well, and I liked the characters for the most part. Meg was a little to much of a doormat for my tastes. She let her family walk all over her, and she never stood up for herself. I understand that it came from a place of feeling unworthy, but come on. If grown adults can't get their own dry cleaning, something is wrong. They should have never put everything on her that they did. I kept waiting for Meg to tell them to get their own stuff, but it never happened. Ben was a great guy. Being shy was a pretty big part of his character, but it was never told to Megan. She kept assuming he didn't like her family, but he never came out and told her it was just his anxiety. The ending was good, and I was happy to see them get the HEA. This was a first for me from this author, but I would be willing to give her another read.
I voluntarily reviewed an advanced readers copy of this book.

This book was such a fun and entertaining tead. I enjoyed it immensely and couldn't put it down. I look forward to reading more great books from this talented author.

Funny, great read!

Waking up married in Vegas is not a new trope, but I must say, this one was one of the better ones I’ve read! I truly found it funny and laughed throughout! I would recommend this book for a fun summer’s day read by the pool. Just be prepared for the looks you’ll get as you snicker, giggle, and laugh as you enjoy this book.

I really loved reading Accidentally in Love with the Pilot by Teri Anne Stanley. This is a story of what happens when you wake up in bed with a man you met the night before and a wedding ring on your hand. It’s definitely a reminder that what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas, or does it? While on leave, quiet, shy, reserved, and hot fighter pilot Ben was only helping out a friend when he agreed to deliver a cake to a birthday party, never expecting the Unicorn cake to be a for a sexy woman. Megan has no time for a boyfriend let alone a husband. She is too busy organizing, helping out, and taking care of her performing adoptive family. After a night of celebratory drinks wipes out both Ben and Megan’s memories they can’t figure out where, why or how they got married.

I loved how Ben tried to take care of Megan and get her to realize that if she wants to attain her own dreams she needed to let go of her obsession of taking care of everyone else’s needs instead of her own. Megan didn’t realize how much she, and her family, pulled Ben out of her shell. As these two sort of try to find which of the thousand or so chapels in Vegas married them they find themselves falling for one another. However, communication has never been high on either of their lists. The big questions is can Ben and Megan figure out if they want to stay married or live separately, forgetting each other?

Ms. Stanley wrote a wonderful, humorous, and sexy story that is not to be missed. She drew me into the lives of her characters, making me forget the world around me. Accidentally in Love with the Pilot is a fun, fast paced romance you don’t want to miss. This story is filled with sexual chemistry, fun dialogue, and endearing characters. I highly recommend this book to other readers.

I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book.

Thank you to NetGalley, the publisher and author for an ARC copy of the ebook. As always, an honest review.

Accidentally in Love with the Pilot was a bit underwhelming. Don't get me wrong, I still enjoyed the story, but it wasn't quite what I expected. Based on the title and summary I thought it would be a typical sexy contemporary romance strongly featuring an alpha male who is a pilot. What we got was a guy who happened to be in town on leave. The pilot aspect really didn't figure into the story. He could have had almost any other career, and the story would be the same. A missed opportunity in my opinion.

Also Ben is an introvert, which we don't see as much in romance novels. I quite enjoyed this as it gave the character and book some depth. I also liked that there was a good mix of romance and friendship between Megan and Ben. He truly does encourage her to pursue her dreams while respecting her wishes. The book works well as contemporary fiction and not just romance.

However, the romance aspect wasn't as great as the rest. There was plenty of sexy time, but the reason Ben and Megan are together feels forced. It moved so fast and didn't feel at all like a natural progression. For me, it took away from the book.

Overall, I enjoyed the friendship between Ben and Megan. The character growth was enjoyable and added many layers. However the romance didn't live up to my expectations.

Accidentally in Love with the Pilot by Teri Anne Stanley was a delightfully addictive read. It’s charming, witty, and irresistibly entertaining.

I’m so incredibly smitten with this book! Within the first few pages, I knew I would enjoy this and I really did. It’s not emotionally intense or moving, but the storyline was so absurdly fun and humorous. And even if it wasn’t an emotional or heart-rending story, there were some good moments that had me tearing up. Sometimes, an easy and fast paced fluffy read is just what I need when life gets too hectic and stressful. Accidentally in Love with the Pilot was adorable, funny, and a very refreshing and relaxing book and I had such a wonderful time reading Ben and Megan’s story.

With drunken shenanigans, accidental marriage, loud and rambunctious family members, steamy scenes, and all the hilarious and heartwarming moments, this book was an exciting read until the end. The writing was engaging, lighthearted and captivatingly fun. The plot was quite predictable, but was well-paced and perfectly balanced with humor, charm and swoons that I didn’t really mind if there weren’t any crazy twists. I smiled, laughed, and got a healthy dose of swoons and warm fuzzies, and honestly, that’s a big win for me. I do have to say that the author gave the readers a lovely little surprise in the end… oh wait.. I mean surprises… Guess you’re going to have to just read to find out.

Megan and Ben’s chemistry was seriously off the charts and I rooted so hard for them. Yeah, these type of stories has been done before, but there was just something so adorable between these two that it was so fun watching them deal with their wonderfully awesome mishap. They were also incredibly likable that it was so easy to care about what would happen to them. And that ending… that was really an amazing way to wrap up their story.

I was also very fond of Megan’s crazy family. They were needy, loud, rambunctious, and overly dramatic sometimes, but they all had Megan’s best interests at heart. You could just feel the love and admiration they had for each other and that was so endearing. Ben’s mother and grandmother were amazing too and I enjoyed the scenes with them. I actually wished that they had been more present in the story cause they seemed like interesting and wonderful characters.

This book swept me off my feet and had me soaring through plenty of heartwarming, sexy and swoontabulous feels. Accidentally in Love with the Pilot was a lot of fun to read and Ben and Megan were just so adorably cute together. If you love easy to read romantic comedies with a lot of sweetness and little spice, humor, charm, and the crazy butterflies, then this might just be the perfect read for you.

I received an advance reader copy of this book from the publisher via Netgalley. All thoughts, opinions, and swoons are my own.

What happens in Vegas doesn't always stay in Vegas. Not in the real world anyway. A little relaxation in Sin City becomes a wild ride for two strangers. For a loner with the best of intentions and a wild child with escape on her mind, a few too many glasses of liquid courage has them putting a ring on it. The problem is neither can remember where, when or why. Except when it starts to become all too clear. Not only have they lost their minds but if they don't step carefully they just might lose their hearts. Teri Stanley always makes my heart a little lighter with her humorous tales of over the top romance. Accidentally in Love With a Pilot is wicked entertainment. Fun romance.
