ARC Review: Accidentally in Love by Belinda Missen

Synopsis:

In the space of a week, Katharine Patterson has quit her job, decided to move back home, and broken up with the guy she thought was the one.

No big deal.

Because Katharine has a plan. She’s going to open her own art gallery, just like she’s always wanted. What she’s not going to do is worry about boyfriends.

Then she meets Kit, a handsome and talented local artist. He might be the most stubborn person Katharine has ever met. He might also make her feel like no one ever has before.

And Katharine might be about to fall accidentally in love…

Review:

Accidentally in Love is a lovely warm and feel good romcom and the perfect poolside summer read.  The writing is good and the author has developed some great characters, all of whom are engaging and realistic.  I loved the family dynamics, the wonderful relationship Katharine has with her family and the way they all support each other.  

Some of the more romantic scenes are depicted really well, particularly the scene in the darkroom with all the simmering sexual tension!  Although I enjoyed the progression of the romance between Kit and Katharine, I felt Kit initially came across as downright rude and I can’t believe Katharine put up with the way he spoke to her.  He did, however, redeem himself and I grew to like his character as the story progressed.  As a lover of art and drawing, I thoroughly enjoyed reading about all the art references, Katharine’s job as art curator and Kit’s art school, and I loved the connection their relationship had through art.  

The end felt a little rushed and it all seemed to escalate rather quickly, unfurling it over another chapter would have lessened the seemingly hurried pace.  

A quick and easy read if you want a quick fix, with a good story line, great characters and a cosy romance.
