Accidentally Yours: an enemies to lovers, surprise pregnancy romance

Accidentally Yours is the first book in the Little Sky series by Alexa Rivers. While pursuing a promotion, Aria Simons’s journalism career has gone up in flames. Now disgraced, she retreats to her lakeside hometown with the determination to redeem herself. She wants the scoop on millionaire CEO Eli Lockwood and the new property development he is working on. However, Eli hates the press and he is equally determined to stop her. Eli then realizes that Aria could help him with his troubled sister and they strike a deal. What they do not account for is their attraction and one night of passion leads to lasting consequences with one positive pregnancy test. Eli never put much thought in wanting to have children and Aria is still trying to figure out her life. Can they pull together for their ready made family? Or will they fall apart? 

The surprise pregnancy trope is usually one I avoid; however, I do enjoy a good enemies to lovers romance, so I decided to take a chance. I also enjoyed that it was set in a small town in New Zealand, which is new and different. However, from the very beginning, I did not care for Aria and Eli as characters or as a couple. The insta-lust was cringey. I didn’t see the attraction between them as all. I definitely didn’t like that Eli was so possessive after one kiss. The conflict of will they be together or not dragged on way too much and I wanted to scream at them to talk to each other and make a decision! The waffling back and forth is annoying. Overall, I did not care for this story and I will not be continuing the series. I do not recommend Accidentally Yours. 

Accidentally Yours is available in paperback and eBook
