I saw everyone else giving this high ratings and at first I was like- no way. The cover threw me off a bit I think. Fully deserved the high ratings though. This one was so cute and I loved the small town charm of Honey Hill. The quirky town and all of its charm added to the budding romance for a delightful read of this one.

🌀Synopsis
Happi and Sebastian got married. I’m Vegas though, so it hardly counts. Well it doesn’t count to them but to the law it is very real. Upon returning to Honey Hill they decide to opt for an annulment. Before they can do that, Sebastian’s house burns down and Happi offers him a place to stay without even thinking about it. It’s what they do there in Honey Hill. Now that they are living together though, the judge stipulates that he won’t give them an annulment until they’ve lived together awhile. They have no choice but to oblige him.
As forced proximity always does, staying in the same house allows them to get to know each other better. When they get to know each other, living together feels easy and they find that they are actually drawn to each other. There may be more than just a fake marriage there but neither of them is quite willing to admit it…yet.

Stop! I loved this book. Happy was seriously such an amazing character. I flew through this book. There were so many laugh out loud moments, and moments that literally made me grin and giggle like crazy! Sebastian and Happy were such a sweet couple, and this definitely won’t be the last book by Joy Avery I read!

I listened to the audio version. The narrators Dara Brown and Beresford Bennett did an awesome job. This is the 3rd book in the “Honey Hill Series.” This is a fast-paced easy read, funny situations, family oriented, small-town gossipers, great characters and oh so good plot all the makings of a great audiobook. It has been a while since I visited the small town of Honey Hill. It is nice that we get to catch up with Lunden the mayor of Honey Hill, Quade, Zachary, Rylee and Canten. This is the unexpected journey to romance for Sebastian and Happy. The two are best friends but do their best to keep their relationship in the friend zone. The gang is in Vegas and after too much to drink Bass and Happy find themselves married and not remembering anything. Remember what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas. When the two finally wake up they are a married. The two are out to get their marriage annulled and when they reach Honey Hill the judge orders them to stay married for three months. Little Zachary continues doing his best to keep secrets by revealing what he hears. It’s not his fault the adults should be careful and make sure little ears are not present. Gotta love Zachary. This is another great read in the Honey Hill series. It was great that the more Bass and Happy tried to fight their feelings and attraction to each other with their camaraderie made the two of them such a happy a great romantic comedy.

I received an ARC audio version via NetGalley and I am leaving my review voluntarily.

The characters are well-written, and the plot is extremely engaging! Zachary was the highlight of the whole story! Lol he steals the spotlight. Can't wait to read more from this author!

This audiobook was made available for me to listen to and review by Joy Avery, Brilliance Audio, and NetGalley.

The dual pov romance book has two narrators: Dara Brown & Beresford Bennett. I love when books with multiple pov characters has individual narrators for each character. It greatly enhances the listening experience.

I had not read anything by this author before, much less the first two installments in the Honey Hill series. None the less I was easily able to follow along and keep up with the characters, the small town antics and figured out the back story. I honestly wasn't expecting to enjoy this as much as I did. I was glad to see that the first 2 novels in this series, Something So Sweet & Sweeter Than Honey are both available on Kindle Unlimited including the audio! I quickly borrowed them both to listen to because I quite loved this small town cozy romance. Honey Hill reminds me of Henry Adams, Beverly Jenkins little town in her Blessings series. I'll definitely be looking for more by this author and in this series.

Thank you to Joy Avery, Brilliance Audio, and NetGalley for the opportunity to listen to and review this audiobook. All opinions and viewpoints expressed in this review are my own.

For some reason, this book wasn't working on my app. I tried everything i needed on my end but it just wasn't working. I'm giving my review based on the 5% I was able to listen too. I plan on buying this on my own because i'm so curious how it plays out.

First thing’s first: thank you Netgalley for the ALC of this book!
Accidental Sweethearts was the story of Happi and Sebastian who get drunk married in Vegas and is forced to wait four months before they can get their marriage annulled.
This was a sweet, small town romance with characters worth rooting for. While this book was predictable, it was enjoyable and sweet. I don’t think this was a particularly memorable book, but I enjoyed the town and the characters well enough. Would be an easy vacation read!

What an enjoyable listen. This book was so good. I enjoyed the story from start to finish. There were times I literally laughed out loud. I was rooting for the couple the entire length of the book.

The narrator was awesome. I highly recommend this book. There are vulgar parts in the story but I was able to quickly move past them.

Thank you NetGalley and Brilliance Publishing for the opportunity to listen to this audiobook.

The third book in the Honey Hill series was a delight! A weekend trip to Vegas leads to the "accidental nuptials" of Happi Daniels and Sebastian Charles. This will provide the residents of Honey Hill with much to talk about. And to add even more delight to the story is Little Zachary who manages to always be in listening distance so that he repeat his version of what he hears.

Neither one of them was looking for love or commitment. But after a wild night in Vegas Happi and Sebastian are married. When asking for an annulment, the judge force them to live together for four months. Can they fight their attractions and the feelings developing between them or will they get divorced? The audiobook with Dara Brown and Beresford Bennett is great, with lots of well developed characters.

Omg this is adorable, cute, and spicy! Small town, found family, hidden secret wedding, and the best friend group ever. It reads like a standalone but is interconnected in a series highly recommend

Happi and Sebastian are two people who have given up on relationships due to past hurts making them afraid to open up again, by an oopsie marriage in Vegas and a meddling judge who wants them to stick it out for a few months tests their resolve. They both prove to be exactly what the other needs, and their connection is undeniable. This is a short, heartwarming read that I breezed right through. Since the stuff with their respective exes had such a big impact on them, I wish it had been discussed more in the book (in terms of overcoming it) because they seemed to switcharoo on it real fast at the end there. The narrators did an excellent job bringing the characters to life - this was written in third person which I usually struggle with for romance but I was so immersed in the characters heads despite the pov that I didn’t even notice, and the narrators helped a lot with that!
