My Review: 5/5 Stars

I don’t know why it took me so long to track this story down! I adore the Accidental Love series and I finally came across the prequel. This is the origin story of how Big Boned Bertha came to be! The story follows Kai and Rylan. When they meet on a dating app, Kai is trying to move away from dating to focus on hook ups. He’s always been in a relationship and they always move super fast. He meets someone, they connect, and next thing he knows he is moved in. And shortly after, the break up. He has to change it up. Meanwhile, Rylan is the opposite. Looking for a relationship and not the hook up. Yet, somehow he finds himself charmed by Kai to at least keep talking. And one thing leads to another and he is agreeing to kelp Kai remain single and in exchange Kai will help Rylan meet someone. These two were adorable. Especially when by the end of the story, they realize they kind of are dating. And it’s clear they do have a connection and both secretly want to date but are trying to keep to their agreement. A really adorable short story!
