Accidental Love Book 2: Not Dating Material by Saxon James

 

Accidental Love Book 2

MOLLY

Moving to Seattle is supposed to be all about getting a fresh start and leaving the bitter man I was becoming behind.

I have new roommates–quirky, sometimes strange, roommates–a nosy, next door neighbor and a grumpy kitty for company, but even surrounded by people, I still don’t feel like I belong. Plus, it turns out the men in Seattle are exactly the same as the ones I left behind, and my string of romantic disconnections continues.

It’s not until one of my roommates, Seven, hits me with some hard truths that I realize where I was going wrong.

Maybe the men aren’t the problem.

I am.

And there’s only one way to fix that.

SEVEN

Being found tied up naked to my bed by my cute new roommate isn’t an ideal way for us to start a friendship.

But apparently a quid-pro-quo is.

He keeps his pretty lips zipped about the compromising position, and I step in as his dating coach. We go out, I point out where he’s going wrong, and he magically becomes dating material.

The problem is, between my codependent brother Xander and a new best friend I can’t get rid of, Molly and I are the target of a matchmaking scheme. My life is way too busy to add another person to it, and Molly is the kinda guy who needs to be made a priority, which I just can’t do. Xander’s medical anxiety takes up too much of my time, and I’ve never found a partner who doesn’t resent it.

I’m determined to help Molly find his ever after.

But that guy will never be me.

My Review: 5/5 Stars

Molly hasn’t had the best luck when it comes to love. He can’t understand why every date he goes on ends in disaster. Why can’t he find the right guy? He leaves home searching for a fresh start and he still finds himself alone. At least this time he has a house full of quirky roommates to be there for him. And one in particular to give him some raw honesty and tell him maybe he is part of the problem with not finding dates. He even goes as far as to offer some help. Seven doesn’t believe he’ll find anyone willing to taking the baggage that is his life. He hasn’t had an easy time of it. And if that wasn’t enough, no one understands the relationship between him and his best friend and foster brother, Xander. They are most definitely platonic, but Xander relies on Seven a lot. And no one believes they are anything but just friends and that they are forever in one another’s lives. Except Molly. Molly gets it right from the beginning and witnessing when Xander’s anxiety hits him. And Molly knows that there is no one better than for someone like Seven to have your back. And that goes as far as helping Molly with his dating life. But as each new fake date happens and these two spend more time together, it’s hard to not blur lines. Even if remind themselves they can never be more. Too bad for them, feelings don’t work that way. And maybe the thing you’ve been looking for is right in front of you. I adored Molly and Seven! They had such a fun and great dynamic. And they were such opposites yet worked so well together. They balanced one another so well and you can’t help but laugh at their banter. (I also loved the bit of crossover since Molly first appeared in Divorced Men’s Club series and his dad and best friend are getting a book in that series next.) Definitely looking forward to the next book in this series! Can’t wait to find out who’s turn it is to fall in love next1!

I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
