Accidentally Yours

This book actually knocked me sideways I was so taken with it! When I read Susan's comments on how the book came to be, I thought I'm not going to enjoy it.....A super mom who dresses up like Wonder Woman because her son has a terminal disease and she thinks if he believes she has super powers he will not die?

Let me tell you like 22 others have on Amazon, this is an incredible story, it is funny, it's so moving at times you're heart will ache. On top of everything else, it's steamy and sexy as well.

You will adore Kerri, her drive to find a cure for her son's disease, how she gets the funds to re-open the clinic where scientists are very close in finding the cure. And Kerri's son Cory will melt your heart.

Cynical billionaire Nathan King, show more you'll want him for yourself, he's that kind of driven and determined man who has lost so much, who does not believe in love until he falls under Kerri's spell. Their love story is simply beautiful!

Susan Mallery amazes me each time I read one of her books. She always delivers fun, fascinating and exceptional stories and Accidentally Yours is a book I will long remember. show less

A really good, fun to read story. The characters are great and the plot is interesting. Best of all, Mallery writes a successful, believable romance. The interaction between the protagonists is full of chemistry and a delight to read -- great dialogue, witty bits of sass, and just enough sexual tension to keep things interesting.

When I started this book and found out that is was about a mother (Kerri Sullivan) who's son has a terminal disease I wasn't sure I was going to be able to read it.. because I'm a very emotion person. But I figured I would give it a shot and kept ready. I was immediately drawn in by Kerri's determination and witty remarks. She is definitely not afraid to speak her mind. She is determined to get millionaire Nathan King to donate money to the research company that is working on the cure. Kerri initially thinks it will be easy to get him to agree because his son had the disease and passed away from it. My initial reaction to Nathan was that he was the stereotypical millionaire, he doesn't care about anything. I think some of it has to do show more with losing a child, cause after going through something so hard why would you want to let anyone else in?

As I was reading the book I found myself laughing at the banter back and forth between Kerri and Nathan. She is so open and honest, while he is serious and very closed off. It made for some interesting conversations. I've been blessed with a healthy child, but while reading wondered if that was really how parents felt.. that if they put their own life on hold and essentially stopped living that their child would in turn be able to live.

This book was a nice balance between happy times and emotional times. I enjoyed it and look forward to reading more from this author. show less

Characters with different outlooks on life and personal histories make the story tug on heartstrings. The ending wraps up much too neatly and the side story with the scientist's love life is rather dull.

What a delightful read! This was the first book by Susan Mallery I've encountered but I'll be watching for more. My heart wanted to embrace each one of the characters and hold them tight. Each was well developed and very well written. Heart wrenching story.

This was pretty good. It was an easy read. I had to suspend reality a bit more for this than most of her other books.

"3.5 out of 5 stars! It's a funny, touching, sweet, and romantic book that I couldn't put down! Definitely one of my favorites by Susan!"
