Blog Tour: Review + Giveaway- Accidentally on Purpose by Jill Shalvis


Accidentally On Purpose- Tour banner

From New York Times bestselling author Jill Shalvis comes the next sexy, standalone novel in the Heartbreaker Bay series…

About ACCIDENTALLY ON PURPOSE:

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

Elle Wheaton’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 craves 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 . . .

Review-

I have been in a reading slump for quite sometime now. Almost a month if I'm counting correctly. With the new year and my new reading goals I wanted to get back on track and what better way to do that than with a Jill Shalvis book. Accidentally on Purpose is the third book in the Heartbreaker Bay series by Jill Shalvis. This is Archer and Elle's story and I was eagerly waiting for it. Obviously, it did not disappoint. I LOVED it!

Every book in the Heartbreaker Bay series can be read as a stand alone but if you've been following the series you know that the tension between Archer and Elle is there for everyone to see. These two have sparks flying all over the place but they are just not ready to accept it. We finally get both Archer and Elle's back story and their history is complex to say the least. The love hate relationship and the push pull between them was perfectly captured.

Elle was an amazing heroine. She was always so put together and icy that you would think she's hard to relate to. But Elle had her strengths and her vulnerabilities. She's the one who's trying hard to make sense of her feelings while trying to keep her heart safe. Elle was definitely capable of scaring away guys but she met her match in Archer.

Now Archer was definitely a difficult hero to figure out at first. He was throwing mixed signals left and right but then again he was battling with his own emotions. Archer only wanted to protect Elle and take care of her. He was a solid guy with a good head on his shoulders. It was so sweet to watch him fall for her so helplessly. Jill Shalvis writes an amazing combination of sweet and sexy romance and I devoured it.

I also loved seeing the remaining gang. Pru and Finn were nauseatingly smitten in love. Keane and Willa were cute too. I found Archer's employees hilarious. Spencer was a great friend and I'm keeping my fingers crossed that his book is next. He really deserves it. Jill Shalvis' book always leave me with a happy feeling and this was no different. I loved Accidentally on Purpose.

EXCERPT-

“My life isn’t normal,” she said with a shake of her head.
                “Forget normal. Normal’s overrated. Now drink that gross green stuff you can’t survive without.”
                “It’s just tea, you weirdo. And I could totally survive without it if I needed to.” She paused. “I just can’t guarantee anyone else’s safety.”
                “Exactly, so why take chances?”
                Ell rolled her eyes. She was still taking what had happened last night personally. She knew everyone in this building, each and every business on the first and second floor and every tenant on the third and fourth floor, and she felt responsible for all of them.
                And someone had been hurt on her watch. Unacceptable. “You do realize that the emergency exit system falls under security’s jurisdiction,” she said. “Which means the security company you hired failed us.”
                Spence, following her line of thought, stopped looking so amused. He put down his coffee. “No, Elle.”
                “Spence, a year ago now you sought me out for the general manager job. You put me in charge of covering your ass, which we both know I’m very good at. So I’m going to go discuss this matter with Archer, your head of security.”
                He grimaced. “At least let me clear the building before you two go at each other.”
                “There won’t be a fight.” At least not that she’d tell him about. “I’m simply doing my job and that includes managing one Archer Hunt.”
                “Yes, technically,” Spence allowed. “But we both know that he answers to no one but himself and he certainly doesn’t consider you his boss. He doesn’t consider anyone his boss.”
                Ell smiled and mainlined some more tea, the nectar of the gods as far as she was concerned. “His problem, not mine.”
                Looking pained, Spence stood. “He’s not going to enjoy you going off on him this early half-cocked, Elle.”
                “Ask me if I care.”
                “I care,” Spence said. “It’s too early to help you bury his body.”
                Elle let out a short laugh. Her and Archer’s antagonistic attitude toward each other had been well documented. The thing was, Archer thought he ran the world, including her.

Review- Accidentally on Purpose by Jill Shalvis

Summary-

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. But now that she’s earned happiness and success, Archer just wants Elle 24/7. Their chemistry could start the next San Francisco Earthquake, and 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…

  EXCERPT 
His hand caught her, long fingers wrapping around her elbow and causing all sorts of unwelcome sensations as he pulled her back around.
                “What?” she asked.
                “Waiting for my apology.”
                “Sure,” she said agreeably. “When hell freezes over.” She lifted her chin, grateful for her four-inch heels so that she could almost, kind of, not quite look him in the eyes. “I’m in charge of this building, Archer, which means I’m in charge of everything that happens in it. I’m also in charge of everyone who works for this building.”
                He cocked his head, looking amused again. “You want to be the boss of me, Elle?” he asked softly.
                I am the boss of you.”
                Now he outright smiled and her breath caught. Damn, stupid, sexy smile. And then there was The Body. Yes, she thought of it in capital letters, it deserved the respect. “If you don’t want to be walking funny tomorrow,” she said, “you’ll stop invading my personal-space bubble.”
                Complete bravado and they both knew it. She’d only been at this job for a year and it’d come as a surprise to her that he’d been in the building at all. An unfortunate coincidence. Before that it’d been years since they’d had any contact, but she still knew enough to get that no one got the better of him.
                He was quick, light on his feet, and physically strong. But that wasn’t what made him so dangerous to her. No, it was his sharp intelligence, his quick wit, how he was willing to go as dark as he needed to in order to do what he thought was right.
                And then there was the biggie—the way he had of making her feel shockingly alive.
                He did as she asked and stepped back but not before pausing to make sure they both knew who was in control here, and it most definitely wasn’t her.
                No one did intimidation like Archer, and in his line of work he could be in a coma and still intimidate everyone in the room. He had muscles on top of muscles but didn’t look beefed up like a body builder might. Instead his body seemed lean and seriously badass, with caramel skin that strayed from light to golden to mocha latte depending on what the season was, giving him a look of indeterminable origin.
                And sexiness.
                It worked for him, allowing him to fit in to just about any situation. Handy on the job, she imagined. But with her he was careful. Distant. And yet she’d seen the way he sometimes looked at her, and on the rare occasion when he’d touched her, like when he guided her through a door with his hand low on her back, he let himself linger. There was always a shocking and baffling yearning beyond both the glances and the touches.
                That, or it was all just wishful thinking.
                Not that it mattered since he still held back with her. The problem was she yearned too. Yearned for him to see her as a woman, strong and capable enough to stand at his side.
                But after what they’d been through, she knew that would never happen. She turned away, annoyed by how her entire body had gone on high alert as always, every inch of her seeming to hum beneath the surface.
                She should have just emailed him.
