This was a nice surprise! Accidentally Amy is a rerelease with new pages and new characters and I laughed my way through it! It’s a hilarious, steamy, romcom and I loved it!

Isabella (Izzy) is excited for her first day at her new job and stops for a Pumpkin Spice Latte at her favorite coffee shop. But it’s taking forever and she’s afraid she’ll be late, so when she hears them call out a Pumpkin Spice Latte for Amy three times and no one steps up to the counter, she decides to say she’s Amy and takes the drink (she did pay for a coffee after all). Then she turns and bam, she spills her pumpkin spice latte all over a strong chest that belongs to a tall, dark and handsome guy (Blake). She apologizes to Blake for spilling her drink on him but he really doesn’t seem to mind. They flirt a little and she offers to buy him coffee the next day to make up for the spill before she runs off to work. It’s a funny surprise when they are officially introduced to each other at the office and she finds out he is a Vice President at her new job and he finds out her name isn’t Amy – things get complicated!

Blake broke up with his fiancé six months earlier when he found out she had been lying to him. Many of them were white lies but there was one big one that was the final straw for him. He hates lies and dishonesty (stemming from his childhood). He’s disappointed when he finds out Izzy lied about her name so she could take the coffee drink and he gets grumpy with her about it. But he really enjoys talking to her so when she sends him a text and apologizes, he responds (and their texts are hilarious). Soon after, Izzy’s car breaks down and Blake drops everything to rescue her. They end up eating pizza together, meeting each other’s cats then he meets her cousins and their friends and they are all so funny! However, even though they are attracted to each other, Blake reminds Izzy that they can’t be more than friends because he is essentially her boss’s boss.

Blake loves listening to Izzy’s bonkers stories (I did too!) and he thinks she’s really pretty while she thinks he is incredibly charming. She hasn’t dated a lot (no time and no one that she was really interested in, until Blake). When a new organization chart comes out, and Blake is not in charge of Izzy’s group anymore, they jump at the chance to see each other and have a fun weekend together – it was a blast. They start off having a spicy ride in an elevator, visit the zoo, eat lots of pizza and take steamy showers together.

The only problem, which I could see coming a mile away, caused a third act break up, but luckily it was very short. These two were truly meant for each other (and their cats too.)

Accidentally Amy might be my favorite Lynn Painter book so far! I’m so glad she went back and updated it. It’s got so much humor and spice, it’s a recipe for a good time!
