Thank you the publisher and NetGalley for this ARC.

I was very disappointed when I didn’t get approved for the book version of this ARC, but so excited to get approved for the audio book, I’ve been looking forward to my first Max Monroe book, and she didn’t disappoint. I loved the vulnerability of Brooke’s character and the parallel that she wrote in her book characters to that of her working relationship with her editor Chase. I liked both characters and ‘listening’ to the relationship shop unfold between the two characters.

Some voices of readers can be annoying in audiobooks, but I’ve heard both of these voices before in other audiobooks and thought they read the book as I would have imagined the characters to sound.

As far as audio goes this was a charming book. The female narrator clipped along at first before settling down in a narrator role. I prefer a steady easy pace. The male narrator started out way too fast before settling in at a more steadfast pace. It made it hard to keep up at first. I did not finish the audio.

This book was really cute and I always like Max Monroe’s writing.

I did enjoy the premise and that the FMC had a disability that with the help of her adorable Benji was able to work around.

I’m not sure what it was though, I just couldn’t connect with the characters like I wanted to.

When author Brooke Baker started writing a fantasy romance story based off of all the things she wished her editor would do to her and sends that to him instead of the original story on accident, things get a little crazy. This story is hilarious and I really enjoyed it. Joe Arden and CJ Bloom did a phenomenal job bringing these characters to life. Highly recommend.

SERIOUSLY OBSESSED!!! THIS BOOK IS EVERYTHING TO ME!! IT WAS SUCH A FUN & SPICY READ. JUST AMAZING!!

🧐 my thoughts:
This was extremely well written. I loved the rom com aspect of this book, as well as how in depth the character were.

👌🏻what i liked:
I’ve never been much for the books about authors, but I’ve been surprised with a few good ones recently, and this is one of them! Also, how can you not like a book with a dog as the best friend?! I loved the secondary characters, they really added to the story.

🙃 what i didn’t like:
The final conflict… If you know, you know…

🥰 special thanks
Thank you to NetGalley, Max Monroe, and Max Monroe LLC for granting me this audiobook ARC in exchange for my honest review!

I recently had the opportunity to listen to Accidental Attachment by Max Monroe and I loved it. Narrated by Joe Arden and CJ Bloom, we get a fun slow burn romance that had me smiling. Chase and Brooke were traveling and working together while Brooke crushed on him, as she has for a while. I enjoyed their witty banter and connection so much. I laughed and swooned while listening.

Happy listening!

Max Monroe writes such fun romances, so I was excited to get this audiobook from net galley! I listened to this one in a few days and really loved the premise! The heroine is a writer who is in a rut, so she writes fan fiction of her and her new editor. She's not happy with her normal genre and the story she is working on, but she has to turn it in. Accidentally, though, she sends her editor her fan fiction and not her normal work. And he loves it. The publisher decides to send her on tour, but she can't go on a plane because of her medical condition (she has an adorable service dog too!), so she goes on a bus tour and her editor volunteers to drive so they can work while they travel. He's determine to make her new book a hit, but he doesn't expect to fall so hard in the process. Like I said, this was such a fun and cute premise and I loved the forced proximity! I also love books that take place in the book world, so this just had so many elements that I loved! I'm so happy I picked this one up!

I really enjoyed this book. For me it had a slow start, however once it picked up, it kept me engaged and wanting to know what happens. The ending is pretty predictable, but what do you expect from a contemporary romance? Very sweet, and a nice light read.

First off, I love narration by CJ, Bloom and Joe Arden- they really make the characters come off the page. This is a sweet story about an author accidentally sending her editor a fan fiction romance between her and him instead of her fantasy book. What unfolds is him helping her get this book published and a rv roadtrip across country for a Netflix tour with her pup in tow. Simply cuteness overload.

4 stars! Accidental Attachment is a delightful rom-com adventure that will leave readers with a smile on their face. With its well-drawn characters, humorous writing style, and a plot filled with unexpected twists, Max Monroe has crafted a novel that is perfect for fans of the genre. Whether you're looking for a light-hearted read or a feel-good romance, this book is sure to entertain and captivate you.

I want to thank Netgalley and the author for gifting me the audio version. The cover is very pretty.
The story itself was okay. I didn't really love it. But if you are looking for a romantic rom com read you might want to check this out.

Accidental Attachment, Brooke and Chase traveling from town to town for her new hit book left me want more. Do I care that her fur buddy gets a friend NO! Did not contribute to the plot line for the amount of times it was brought up. Not enough of a plot line to carry these two for a 25 minute epilogue.

Thanks NetGalley for the advance listen.

Absolutely loved this book! It had me laughing out loud so many times I lost count. I loved that she was an author and wrote about her crush. The slow burn was perfect as well.

Max Monroe, these two are perfection at romcoms. im always laughing and swooning when reading or in this case listening to their books!

I loved how i got captivated instantly with this audiobook , the perfect narrator’s for this book!!

Loved the concept of this book. A writer and her editor? Super cute. And I liked it, it was fun, and sweet. But it didn't need to be this long. It was still good and I had a great time tho

I absolutely enjoyed listening to this audiobook! I love all things bookish, so when you tell me that you have a rom-com about an author and an editor, with the added bonus of a service dog, you have my interest piqued. This slow-burn romance begins with a hilariously awkward meet-cute and continues with a comical RV book tour across the country, where Chase and Brooke are stuck sharing very tight quarters. The chemistry between them is sizzling. Chase is the best kind of cinnamon roll, sweet guy. He says and does all of the right things. He is the perfect mix for Brooke's awkward quirkiness. Their back-and-forth banter and relationship development felt authentic and very entertaining. If you are a slow-burn romance and close proximity fan, you must read this book! It incorporates everything you could ever want in a romance novel.⁠

🎧️The narration of this novel, performed by CJ Bloom and Joe Arden, was outstanding. I enjoyed how they were able to bring the personalities of Brooke and Chase to life through my headphones. I highly recommend this audiobook!! It was a great listen!⁠

This was such a fun and refreshing read. I loved the writing style and the humour sprinkled in throughout. I am familiar with this author duos work and was pleasantly surprised with the little cameos of other characters from their worlds mixed in here. I really enjoyed the romance and the characters of this story including the four legged kind.

The audio narration was clear and a joy to listen to.

Can't wait to see what comes next.

Source: Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for this ARC. I voluntarily give my honest review and all opinions are my own.

Quick summary: Brooke is a novelist on a deadline. She uses her crush on her new editor Chase as inspiration for a different book genre that is highly sexual- Accidental Attachment. By mistake, she sends him this novel instead of another book in the genre she's known for-Garden of Forever. He loves it and is willing to fight for her work.

3.75 stars

This one is sweet, cute, quirky and hilarious.

It’s definitely unique idea of how these characters get thrown together, and it was so much fun.

Chase is swoony, Brooke is hilarious and has the best side kick service dog. It was a slow burn, instalove, forced proximity type situation which I quite enjoyed!
