Accidentally on Purpose by Jill Shalvis

From Publisher:


There’s no such thing as a little in love . . .

Elle Wheaten’s priorities: friends, career, and kick-ass shoes. Then there’s the muscular wall of stubbornness that’s security expert Archer Hunt—who comes before everything else. No point in telling Mr. “Feels-Free Zone” that, though. Elle will just see other men until she gets over Archer . . . which should only take a lifetime . . . 

There’s no such thing as a little in lust . . .

Archer’s wanted the best for Elle ever since he sacrificed his law-enforcement career to save her. Their chemistry could start the next San Francisco Earthquake and he wants her 24/7, but Archer doesn’t want to be responsible for the damage. The alternative? Watch her go out with guys who aren’t him . . .


There is such a thing as . . .

As far as Archer’s concerned, nobody is good enough for Elle. But when he sets out to prove it by sabotaging her dates, she gets mad—and things get hot as hell. Now Archer has a new mission: prove to Elle that her perfect man has been here all along. . .

Elle and Archer are ridiculous.  They are ridiculously funny, ridiculously hot, and ridiculously clueless!  While combustible, the couple is completely out of their minds.  Their entire antagonistic relationship is based upon misunderstandings and miscommunications.    

Also, Archer has some serious boundaries issues.  Dude is a stalker.  He may have good intentions, but he's still a stalker and I'm a little disturbed.  Not enough to put down the book, mind you, but if you have issues with controlling puppet masters, Archer may not be your guy.  

Elle.  Well, Elle has more issues than the New York Times.  And for good reasons, but still.  Girl needs to seek some professional help.  

But really, who wants a perfect hero and heroine?  That would be all kinds of boring.  And Jill Shalvis is never boring.  Somehow, these two messed up people fall in love and make a hilarious spectacle for us to enjoy.  Accidentally on Purpose has skinny-dipping, smoking hot chemistry, a little mystery, and a whole lot of dysfunction!  You should definitely pick it up.  I can't wait to see what Jill has in store for Heartbreaker Bay next!
