Received an ARC from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review
Probably my favourite book in the 'woke up married in Vegas' trope followed by a very enjoyable execution of the 'fake relationship' plot.
Very often the reason behind the need for a fake relationship requires a bit of a stretch of the imagination e, g. meddling relatives say a guy must marry before he can receive his inheritance but given Tyler's career as a country music star, the need to stay married was realistic and I like how the explanation was given as to how being a country star as opposed to a rock or pop star made the difference.
'Sherry thrust her left hand in his face, “Is this real”
A muscle popped in his jaw, and his eyes glared at the ring on her finger like it was the bloody Ebola virus, “I dont think its a cubic zirconia if thats what youre asking, ”
“Not the freaking diamond!” she screamed again, '
Musicians can very often have some douchy qualities in romance novels but Tyler Blue was the perfect Southern gentleman ltthe cute Elvis/Tyler scenes, The PostIt notes Tyler left on Sherry's mirror every morning has to be one of my favourite romantic gestures ever and I loved his relationship with his parents which we got a good insight to in a few short scenes.
Sherry was likeable in her own right and I loved the author's inside joke having Sherry constantly compare her life to that of heroines in her romance novels and her struggle to stay grounded and not believe she was going to get a happyeverafter oh, wait.
.
'For one brief, hopefilled second, the romantic in Sherry fantasized that somehow in the fortyeight hours theyd spent together, and the fortyeight hours since, Tyler had honestly fallen for her.
That instalove was real, cute babies shot arrows at peoples butts, and fairy tales existed in the real world, But then sanity returned, and she dropkicked that part of herself to the curb, That had been the romance novels talking, '
Sherry being oblivious to Tyler's true identity made for some funny scenes
She pulled a face, “Im not much for country, other than the line dances, All those songs about trucks and trains and whiskey and dogs, though that last one I can forgive, ” Her smile softened and Tyler moved closer, wanting to be nearer the genuine warmth of it, “No offense to your boss or anything,” she added with a slight grimace, “I heard hes pretty hoteven if he is the manwhore of country music, ”
A shocked laugh burst from his lips, “Excuse me”
She waved her comment away, as if she hadnt just insulted him to his facewhich, he guessed, she hadnt really, At least not on purpose, '
It was nice to see the characters from previous books but I am most looking forward to seeing more of Charlie and hope that he gets his own book next.

Loved Accidentally Married on Purpose!
I was so excited when I heard Rachel Harris was going to give us Sherry's story, I loved her character from the other books in this must read series, and boy was I right to be excited,
This book was SOOOO good, loved Sherry and OMG Tyler made my heart swoon!
They had amazing chemistry, loved their banter and just everything about them, I truly couldn't find anything that I didn't like or enjoy about this book,
I love the Love and Games series and Accidentally Married on Purpose is now my favorite book from the series, I highly recommend you read this series :
I'm a huge fan of Rachel Harris and I cannot wait to read more from this talented author,
Thank you to Netgalley and to Entangled Bliss for the advance copy in exchange for my honest thoughts,
Rachel Harris is officially one of my favorite authors! Ive loved every single one of her books that Ive read, but this one was the cherry at the top of a chocolate fondue sundae.
I dont even know if thats a real sundae, but it sounds delicious,
I couldnt put this book down from the moment I started it and devoured it in less thanhours, After meeting Sherry in Seven Day Fiance, I was so hoping to get to know her much more and see more of her spunky attitude, I also wanted another romance to swoon over and for Sherry to get her happy ending, just like her brother Cane, Of course, after getting her heart broken, Sherry decided that one last wild night was all she needed before she settled down and searched for Mr, Boring.
Tyler Blue is country musics rising star with his eyes on one thing only: his music, He has no desire to settle down and get married, but when he happens to meet Sherry in the green room of one of his concert venues, there is no doubt the chemistry is alive.
When is asks her to spend the weekend with him, neither have a clue the crazy, romantic adventure they are in for,
In this What Happens in Vegas meets Country Strong wow thats a terrible comparison, but the only one to come to mind as I type this in the wee hours of the morning youre sure to get caught up in the swoon worthy romantic story of Tyler and Sherry.
I loved the sarcasm, the wit and the charm both Sherry and Tyler possessed, and I loved being taken back to the charming New Orleans setting,
Sherry, Tyler, the romance, the chemistry, . everything about it was perfection,
And dont even get me started on that ending, .
Youre sure to enjoy this romantic read, as well as the other books by Rachel Harris, As soon as this book is released on Julyth, I highly recommend that you jump at the chance to add it to your reading list,
sitelink theturningpages. com I liked both leads well enough, they were fun and their flirting was super adorable, But there was no real conflict in the book, It was another case of two people just assuming the worst about the other without even the minimal amount of communication, and once either of them said literally anything about their feelings all the "problems" went away.
Also, and I know this is just shouting in the void and this trope will never go away, but I'm going to keep on anyway, You can't get drunk married in Vegas, You can have a ceremony, but you just legally can't file paperwork while drunk, and a marriage isn't legally binding unless you go to the stodgy gov't building and file for a license.
The fact that they brought up annulment and were like "well, we had sex that night, so annulment isn't an option" was doubly confusing, Annulments are for when the marriage doesn't have validity, reasons include: being coerced, being lied to/manipulated into it, and BEING BLACKOUT DRUNK AT THE TIME,
Okay, enough ranting from me,.Always the fling, never the forever, Stars!
Accidentally Married on Purpose is handsdown my absolute favourite of the Love amp Games series, Sherry Robicheaux has been a favourite of mine throughout the previous two books and it was great to finally get into the head of this sassy, quirky likable girl,
Shed always been the type of girl who jumped in feet first and fell in love at first sight,
Tyler Blue isnt looking for a relationship or commitments, but pressure from his record label Belle Meade, to live the lifestyle his songs of love and romance promote is heavy, as is speculation in the press about his private life.
Tyler just wants to make music, everyone else sees it differently,
He was an instant gratification kind
of guy, When he saw a woman who interested him he went for it,
Although the wedding happened within the first few pages of the book, I loved the building of the actual relationship between Tyler and Sherry as the book progresses, the rules they set themselves, and lack of sex for the month they are together really gave Rachel Harris a chance to explore both of them as people, as well as the opportunity to build their friendship and the emotional connection between the two of them.
”Our relationship isnt conventional, and it sure as hell didnt start off like most, But we both know what we want and arent afraid to go for it, ”
There are so many things I liked about this book, from the Postit notes to the banter between the two of them, This is a low drama kind of story, something that a reader can pick up and know that at the end they are going to have a lovely case of the warmfuzzies.
Rachel also managed to bring the previous couples into the story as well which was great as it gave the series as a whole a excellent continuity, I loved the epilogue it was the perfect ending for me,
ARC Generously provided via Netgalley, in exchange for the above honest review,
When it comes to feelgood, sweet romances with those ohsolovable HEA, you can't beat a Rachel Harris book, Here, you've got an amazing girl who hasn't quite realized her potential yet, but she's got big dreams and an even bigger heart, Mix that up with a sexy country singer who knocks the girl, and the reader, off her feet it's sure to entertain you from start to finish and leave you with a smile on your face.
I love the Southern feel Harris put into this series, the atmosphere, and to the characters, It's so charming! I'm sure I'm not the only one who loves a good "fake marriage" bit that turns into the real deal, right Every time I start a book by Rachel, I know I'm in for a sweet treat.
