This was my first MaxMonroe book, and for the most part, I really enjoyed it. It was a cute love story that was very relatable, as far as having a secret crush. I thought that the situation the main character got herself Into by sending her manuscript to her crush (who also happens to be her editor) was hilarious and overall it was a cute book. I really enjoyed learning more about Vago syncope, and the day today struggles that one with that condition would have to navigate.

This book was a super slow burn, which I am usually a fan of, but while out on the road, some of the situations that the main characters got themselves into were a bit tedious after a while. I did enjoy the book while reading it but I also don’t think I would go back for a re-read.

The narrators of this book were absolutely fantastic. I would listen to any book that they read, especially together!

What a fun, witty and laugh out loud listen!

Brooke Baker is an author of paranormal books, and as she goes to send her super hot editor the book, she attaches the wrong one in her wine haze. The new book? A very detailed book about him, and he has no idea! Lots of close quarters editing, medical situations, cringy moments, and a super cute dog involved.

Overall, I really enjoyed listening to this! The narrators were fantastic, and it was just a fun story line overall. There was a lot of fluff and inner dialogue tho and ended up being a bit long. But definitely hoping there will be a story for Sam and Noah!

Thank you NetGalley and Max Monroe LLC for my ALC in exchange for my honest feedback!

Ever written a book about someone you're been crushing on and accidentally sending it to him?

'Accidental Attachment' by Max Monroe is about the story of Brooke and Chase. Brooke is a famous author who may be in love with her editor Chase. Brooke has a book due, and with Chase hassling her to send him the copy, she sends the wrong attachment. The book may be a story about her crush on Chase, thus leading to her embarrassment. They end up on a road trip while working on the book.

This story is amazing. I loved every second of it. It's a spicy and funny rom-com that everyone would love.
Brooke's service dog, Benji is my favourite character ever.

I had the chance to listen to the audiobook. Both CJ Bloom and Joe Arden read this book perfectly.

Thank you to NetGalley for the chance to read this book.

It was fun romance book. If you liked Book Lover this one is great for you too. The story is about author sending a book to an editor. The book is spice romance about editor, but he does not know that. Editor falls in love with a book and with an author but does not know book is about him

This was such a fun story, full of quirks and non stop laughs. The chemistry between all of the characters was amazing. The slow burn was done so well and the spice once it happens was explosive.

I was really excited about this plot.
A writer accidentally sends her pornographic fanfic to the subject of said fanfic, and they are her editor? Yes please!
I was a little let down by the character's personalities. They were a bit immature for my liking.
Brooke seemed to overreact a lot to the entire situation, since no one knew who it was about, she could have been more chill about it.
I guess I wanted more campy fun and less neurotic obsession.
There is some campy fun, but it's overshadowed by the tense bits that felt inserted to add tension where it was unnecessary.
This was my first Max Monroe and I am totally open to more from them, but will go in with lower expectations in the future.
Thanks to NetGalley & Max Monroe LLC for my DRC.

Rating: 3.5 stars
I mostly listened to this on audiobook with the last 20/30% read on my kindle. I honestly think that I would have given a higher rating if I ended up just reading it and not doing the audiobook.

This book was so funny, but I felt a little long. The audiobook is 13 hours long and the ARC I received is right at 500 pages. There is so so much inner dialogue with both Brooke and Chase, and I am not used to books with that much inner dialogue. I think narrating with inner dialogue wasn’t my cup of tea, so I really wish I read the entire book instead of listen to it.

Benji is Brooke’s “super hero” service dog, and I absolutely loved him! I am a sucker for books with dogs in them. Brooke considers him her “super hero” and dresses him up in Marvel doggie costumes which I thought was so cute!

I highly recommend you read this on your kindle or get the paperback!

Thank you Netgalley and Max Monroe for the ALC! The narrator’s absolutely blew it out of the park. I love CJ Bloom and Joe Arden so much!

This was such a fun story! I laughed out loud so many times, the humor was spectacular. I loved our MCs, they were both adorable and really likable. I loved this fun road trip with all kinds of mishaps and antics along the way. The secondhand embarrassment was so good in this one! The swoon was great too, lots of “oh is this when it finally happens?!” moments.

What I didn’t love was how long it took for our FMC to reveal her secret. Once he made it known that he’s into her, she should’ve just fessed up. She had already done far more embarrassing things that admit the accidental attachment.

That’s such a minor thing though! Overall I really loved this book!

Accidental Attachment has the making of all the cute romcoms I usually devour but I had a hard time connecting to either of these characters which made for a very slow and (dare I say) boring read. Brooke's frantic and irritating inner monologue were eye roll inducing, and Chase doesn't have a personality beyond being Brooke's literal perfect love interest. The slow burn between these two characters wasn’t even very satisfying because the chemistry between Brooke and Chase isn’t believable, and the completely predictable 3rd act breakup, was a scenario right out of Friends circa 1996. I wish I could have liked this book, but it just wasn’t for me.

Accidental Attachment is a hilarious, lighthearted rom com by hilarious writing duo Max Monroe. I listened to the audiobook and as expected, CJ Bloom and Joe Arden as well as reading the book and omg hilarity through the entire book , this was quite a lengthy slow burn but when Brooke and chase get there soo amazing!!

What you’ll expect

-hilarious banter
-spice
- funny scenes with chase and Brooke
_ the best service superhero dog benji
- overload of cuteness
the audio book with cj bloom and joe arden was absolutely perfect they really brought the story to life.

I'm officially the newest fangirl for Max Monroe (Max & Monroe if you have stalked them online like I just did!)! This is the funniest book I have listened to in years! Drinking and listening or driving and listening is seriously a contact sport with this book going! I may or may not have spit my coffee across the table at a local coffee shop while listening to this book and laughing out loud! While I may have come across as a deranged woman, this book is absolutely worth every dirty look I received while listening to it! Add to the enjoyment Joe Arden's sexy voice bringing Chase's point of view fully to life while CJ Bloom brings Brooke's awkward insecurities and humor to reality and you won't be able to stop listening either! Just be warned that the wit, humor, snark and writing are all top notch which may lead to a bit of laughter induced pee in your pants!

bahhhh. I was highly disappointed in this book. I almost DNFed 4/5 times but kept saying “i have come this far, maybe something will eventually happen” so i stuck it out and in hindsite i wish i wouldn’t have.

This story was like 160/250 pages too long. It felt like pulling teeth to get to the next chapter because it was just mainly fluff and no character development or interesting plot points.

The idea of an author sending her editor an accidentally for personal use only manuscript that was never supposed to be seen - which is also about THE EDITOR - has so much merit and possibilities but it just didn’t hit the mark.

a lot of the scenes felt super forced and extremely cringy.

our two MCs were very service level and because of that they weren’t like able by any means.

Our superhero service dog is the only likable thing about this read for me. He saved the book from being a complete 0 star DNF.

It’s giving forced proximity, service dog, and trying to be “enemies” but wasn’t really believable.

This book was too much. Too much what you might ask? For starters snark, unfunny jokes, talking to dogs, repetition, words. Some people might really like this but it wasn't for me.

** spoiler alert ** Thank you to NetGalley for allowing me to listen to this ARC in order to give an honest review.

I’ll be real, if this hadn’t been an ARC (and my first one at that, woohoo) I probably would have DNFed. I am hardened in reading other reviews for this book, that other books by these authors might be better, so I will add a couple to my TBR.


Let’s start with the premise.
Brooke wrote a super successful fantasy series, I’m picturing like shadow and bone, and is required to write a follow up that is due for publication soon. She’s uninspired, so, she spends a significant amount of time working on what amounts to be a fanfiction of her and her editor. While wine drunk, because she’s so quirky, Brooke accidentally sends that fanfiction to her editor, and he loves it (obv not knowing that the MMC is meant to be him, remarkably specific details and fantasies included). He advocates to publish that book instead of the agreed-upon Follow up. It is a charming premise, and I had high hopes for it, but I don’t feel like it was executed well.


Now onto the characters.

Brooke made me cringe all the goddamn time. From calling her dog a “Doggo” unironically, to lamenting for multiple pages about a high-powered pee (not joking), I did not enjoy her. She felt like she was the stereotypical millennial on TikTok, who is so shocked anyone would be interested in her, and is an introvert to the point of annoyance. Very early on, her agent tells her she needs to be more active on social media, primarily TikTok, and she cannot fathom how this would be helpful to her brand or what she would share. That was a huge eye roll for me. She continued to be annoying, especially, considering she turned in a different book than the one she was contracted to make, and her editor, who she allegedly loves, put his career on the line to publish this untested book.

Chase was hot. It’s not hard to be hot when he is described with no real character flaws. I thought the voice actor was good, and enjoyed his performance. I didn’t enjoy the female voice actors impression of Chase, because it felt like a southern accent appeared out of nowhere. it is established that Chase came from Nashville, but whatever little southern twang, the male voice actor had in the beginning, fades quickly, thank God, but Brooke’s impression of him remains.

and FINALLY!!! This book was way too damn long, and for a book about an authors crazy sex fantasies, the smut was severely lacking. I want to say that at one point she describes his “member” as an elephant trunk or something, but I’ve honestly tried to block it out of my memory. I had this book on 2x speed, which I generally reserve for books I’m less focused on the details in (lookin at u ACOTAR), and I did check a few times to see if there was any faster speed.

Please enjoy some of my notes from this process:

MC is nice, but definitely gen x/millennial and a lil cringe. I really don’t mean to be rude, but this could have been written by AI bc there are SO MANY little moments that made me roll my eyes.

Silly/goofy 🤪 author can’t believe people would want to interact with her on social media or at book tours. I think there are parallels between Brooke and the characters she writes. I’m in chapter 10 and there have been plenty of quirks with her and none with Chase.

I was eating in the middle of chapter 10 and I had to pause it because she goes on for at least two or three minutes about peeing incredibly hard. Is this about to be a piss-kink thing?

“Sad meow” is not great

Ch 31 when he FINALLY realizes he might have a crush

“Contact with fancy people” omfg cheesy

“My wife is drier than a woman who was married to a narcissist for the last 25 years” Chase WHAT?!?

Not her talking about her service dog being in the hotel room while they fuck

I thought the premise for this was great. She accidentally sends her editor the wrong draft of a different book, one she was writing with the crush she had on him in mind. Well he loves it and he decides to publish it.

But this didn’t deliver. I needed it to be shorter and more concise. There were some story lines that felt misplaced.

I enjoyed going on the bus trip for her Netflix show. But then he was going to drive the bus. He claimed he was going to do this to make sure all the edits were done on her book. What? That’s a little bot weird.

Cutting 100 pages would make this book much much better.

3.25⭐, 2🌶️

This just wasn't the book for me - I was excited for the premise of the plot, I mean submitting an accidental fanfic of you and your crush is hilarious, and the book is definitely quirky, but the humor and awkward-funny moments in it just weren't very comical for me. It was a slow burn romance and I was off the bat frustrated/ disappointed that our Hero wasn't already romantically interested with our heroine. It took a bit for him to even look at her as attractive and that killed the romance vibe for me.

I absolutely loved the narrators. Their voices worked well together, and fit the characters perfectly. My lack luster feelings toward this book is general plot/ character issues IMO.

Brief Blurb: A successful writer accidentally sends her new (and super-dreamy) editor the wrong manuscript. Instead of the full-length paranormal novel she promised, she sends the fan fiction she’s written about her crush…on him—including every detail of the hot, steamy “physical activity” she’s fantasized about. And Chase Dawson may be the hottest man alive and a super-talented editor to boot, but he’s completely oblivious that he’s the star of the manuscript he just convinced his boss to green-light. Will she survive two months of revising and editing the sizzling romance she imagined with Chase in extremely close quarters with him? Or will the constant white lies and overwhelming attraction make her spontaneously combust?

Thank you NetGalley and Max Monroe LLC for an eARC audiobook of Accidental Attachment, written by Max Monroe, narrated by CJ Bloom and Joe Arden. This is my honest review!

This isn’t for me. It’s too descriptive. I don’t need long sentences on biceps and multiple paragraphs dedicated to dog costumes

This was my first book by Max Monroe and I really enjoyed it! It was funny and steamy! I loved the forced proximity between Brooke and Chase as they travel the country in an RV while working on her manuscript. There were a lot of laugh out loud moments and award situations as the two lived in such close quarters and edited a book that Chase didn’t know was about him. The narration was fabulous and one of the reasons I wanted to listen to the audiobook. I really enjoyed how this resolved and how Brooke and Chase both had to work on themselves.

Brooke is an author of paranormal novels and when she drunkenly sends her super hot editor, Chase Dawson, a copy of a manuscript that she has written about the hot and spicy scenes they could have between the two of them, she thinks her life is over. She was not expecting to feel the way she does about Chase, but she can not stop thinking about him. He takes her manuscript to his boss and gets it approved so they will have to start working on edits asap while she is on a cross country tour for the Netflix series based on her book. He agrees to drive her camper since she refuses to fly and they spend so much time together that their chemistry is crazy hot and they both want to be together but Brooke still has not told Chase that the book is based on him.

I loved the service dog, Benji, that went with Brooke everywhere. I did feel like the book went on for ever and was way too long. I liked that there was obvious chemistry and that both main characters knew that in the middle of the book so that part wasn't drawn out so much. I also liked how both main characters were close with their siblings and brought them into the story as well. Overall, really cute story.

Brooke Baker’s life is looking good, with her popular trilogy being turned into a Netflix series. However, her new book is due to her publisher soon, and it is <i>not</i> going well. Instead, she has written a steamy romance featuring characters based on her and her incredibly attractive editor, Chase Dawson. When she accidentally sends Chase a copy of that romance instead of the fantasy book her publisher expected, Brooke is mortified and shocked that Chase believes the romance is worthy of being published. Can she handle the next couple of months working closely with him to get it published?

I did like that the female protagonist had Vasovagal Syncope, showing a MC with a disability and her adorable service dog, Benji. I listened to the audiobook version of this story, and while Joe Arden did a good job with the Chase chapters, I did not care for CJ Bloom’s portrayal of Brooke’s chapters, especially when she was saying Chase’s lines for those chapters. There were parts of the story that had potential, but I feel like this book could have used a good editor to trim it down. Also, this is a personal preference, but I would be happy never to hear the term ‘meat flaps’ again.

Many thanks to NetGalley for providing me an audio ARC of this book.
