Love, Accidentally would have to be in my top five least favourite books. It started off horribly, got slightly better, and then completely ruined itself again—causing me to DNF at 87%, when the characters began referencing sperm in an utterly bizarre way. I stuck with this book for so long because I was curious to see if it would redeem itself at some point, but unfortunately, it didn’t.

The author’s writing style wasn’t the problem; rather, it was the content she chose to write about. There were multiple moments that had me physically recoiling and thinking, “Are you serious right now?” One example: the main character’s sister constantly refers to her young child using satanic references. She repeatedly calls him the devil, which I immediately had an issue with. I found it disturbing and quite inappropriate. I also strongly disliked one of the main tropes in this book. I won’t go into detail to avoid spoilers, but it’s a trope I find horrible and always try to avoid.

Another issue I had was with the characters themselves—they were simply insufferable. One of the male characters is revolting, both in how he behaves and in how he treats the women in his life. He and the main character had absolutely no chemistry (and you eventually find out why), and reading their interactions was painful. He was weird, slimy, and sneaky—definitely one of the most repulsive and vile characters I’ve come across. I also didn’t like the female lead’s mother, who was completely unhinged, lacked any moral compass, and left me thinking, what the … !?

There were also insensitive comments made about mental health and suicide, which deeply bothered me. These are topics I care about deeply and believe should be handled with the utmost care and respect.
That said, I’d still be interested in trying another book by this author. Her writing style is quite readable, so I’m hoping she just really missed the mark with this one—and that her other works are a lot better.

Thank you to Boldwood Books and Netgallery for the advanced copy.

Full of heart, humour, and heat, this fun hospital-set romance follows nurse Tilly as she navigates chaotic nightshifts, meddling family, and her own growing desire to fall in love. When the handsome new doctor starts turning heads, Tilly’s intrigued—but is he everything she’s been looking for, or just a distraction from something more meaningful, and possibly closer to home? A joyful and heartfelt story about unexpected connections and finding love when you least expect it.

The setup for this one really drew me in— I love a medical romance. I have to admit I DNF at 35% - the plot at times was fast paced and then it was slow as molasses. I didn't connect with the characters and there were a few side plots that didn't go anywhere so why bother?

Thank you to NetGalley for the ARC.

HMMM, where to start with this? I really really hated that it felt like two different stories. I could've done away with 50% of the first 3rd of the book, summarizing what happened into 2 chapters and felt more for the 2nd part. I just couldn't love the MMC by the end because WE DIDN'T GET ENOUGH of him and her interacting. I FELT MORE CHEMISTRY WITH THE FLATMATE.

It just sadly fell flat in some regards. I liked the sister relationship but did not understand the parents dynamic or what it had to do with Tilly or her relationships, so that seemed odd.

Thank you NetGalley and Boldwood for the ARC.

I read the ARC of this book and it was cute. A lot happened and the male character was a walking red flag. I did not like the suggestion of the main character’s mother in a particular situation that happened. Also, the gaslighting and the twist were annoying. The development of the story is fine, i liked the rest of the story and the things that occurred were cute. I must say I had a good time and enjoyed it; it was okay, so for me, it was a 3 star read.

Tilly is a nurse and falls into a relationship with Luke, a new doctor. However, something doesn’t add up with him. At the same time, she meets Will when his dad attempts suicide and comes into her ER.

This book had a lot of different plots and I found it bouncing around a lot. I think it had an interesting twist, but it fell a little flat for me.

1.5★

Well, unfortunately I was disappointed by this one.

This definitely had the potential with it being a workplace rivals-to-lovers situation with the new doctor, and the A&E nurse, however it did not deliver.

I’ll start with what I liked. It was an easy and fast read, and the humour was enjoyable in some parts, as was the glimpse into hospital life.

Onto things I disliked.

I thought the pacing of the story was odd, and it gave me whiplash. It was fast paced and then slow. It was not consistent.

The romance with Dr Luke was very chaste and not fleshed out. I thought it was an odd side-plot and very unnecessary. And then Tilly’s new found romance with someone else was also a disaster. There was no emotional connection between them and they never had deeper conversations that went beyond surface level topics. I did not see the chemistry between them, and it was honestly all too fast. They suddenly kissed and then were married in the epilogue.

There were far too many side-plots that distracted from the main story and romance.

Again, this is all a pacing issue and issue with prioritising certain plots.

Thank you NetGalley and boldwood books for the arc it was good and easy read it was a medical romance we first seen the main character dating a coworker turns out he lied about something big (no spoilers) and when after healing and a emotional journey she ends up meeting up with other person it was a cute rom com romance with medical humour in it overall 3.5 🌟🌟🌟

This book was so different to any other romance book I have read. I had no idea who the love interest was going to be until about half way into the book. The book had so many twist and turns.

I really enjoyed the character development plus the side characters made me laugh so much with their banter.

The setting of this book was amazing! I loved the hospital setting and showing what it is like as a nurse in A and E. Overall would definitely recommend for a unique romance.

A wonderful read!
This novel drew me in from the very first page and kept me hooked until the end. The characters were vibrant and relatable, the writing was engaging, and the story had just the right balance of heart and humor. Highly recommend!
Many thanks to NetGalley, the author, and the publisher for my ARC. All opinions are my own.

This one fell a bit flat for me and I was getting lost in the plot. I believe there are people who will get enjoy this but it wasn't for me.

I'm grateful for the ARC and will keep my eye out for other books busy this author

Love Accidentally by Phoebe Macleod,it’s about nurse Tilly, and although this one wasn’t my favorite when she started getting closer to Will I really think that save the book but I’m starting to notice the author has a lot of fancifull notions in her book. It seems every character in her book goes above and beyond for the main character but having said that I still recommend this book because as I said when her and Will finally get together that really raised it from two stars to three stars at least in my book. The only issue is that doesn’t happen until 80% in so if you’re really looking for a true looney romance this may not be the book if you’re looking for a slow burn that will eventually get you there read this book.#NickGalley, #TheBlindReviewer, #MyHonestReview, #PhoebeMacleod,#LoveAccidentally,

Thank you to NetGalley and Boldwood Books for an earc in exchange for an honest review!



The premise sounded very promising, I love romances set in a medical setting and a workplace romance between a nurse and a doctor in A&E sounded very exciting. And I want to say that this book was by no means bad. It’s a light and quick read but it also wasn’t great.



Sadly, it fell flat for me. In the first half of the book, we get to read about the relationship between Tilly and Dr Luke but that ends before it really starts. I understand that this adds some backstory to Tilly’s character but the whole thing could’ve been told in maybe 20 pages or as a thing that happened in her past and explains her hesitancy to open herself up for a new relationship. Instead, we spend half the book focusing on Dr Luke who just disappears in the second half.

And though Tilly finds love, I felt as If there was no depth between them. They have one or two deep but very brief conversations, as a reader you feel that there is chemistry but it’s not really well explored, in my opinion. Lastly, there are so many different side plots and quirky characters that are mentioned but not further explored, which left me a little unsatisfied.

However, just because it wasn’t my cup of tea doesn’t mean it isn’t somebody else’s. It still is a light romance with humour that also deals with heavier topics without dragging down the mood while reading.

Super cute book! I started and finished it in one day! Based on the description, focusing on Luke and Tilly I really thought I had it figured out in the beginning with their ending being a HEA. Let me just say, you will not expect the twist! I think that is why I really enjoyed this book - still a romance but also with a little plot twist.

Thank you to Phoebe MacLeod, Boldwood Books, and NetGalley for the eARC! I would definitely recommend to anyone who enjoys romantic comedies!

Thank you Netgalley and Boldwood for providing me with an arc in exchange for an honest review. Unfortunately, Love, Accidentally just did not quite live up to my expectations. It had a strong and memorable start, but I quickly found myself lost within the various plot lines and shifting characters. The romance itself felt very rushed and inauthentic, without any real chemistry.

Thank you to NetGalley, the publishers and the author for the e-ARC in exchange for honest review.

3 stars!

This book had a super cute premise. Set in a UK A&E (ER for us Americans 🤣) a nurse and doctor start a romance. Started out super sweet, but he raised some red flags. Come to find out, he's married and has a baby on the way with his wife and our FMC is gutted by being the other woman.

This took up the first half of the book and was unnecessary, in my opinion. The FMC does go on to find true love in the second half of the book. I adored the second half and wish that romance had been the main focus of the book. Their love story was sweet and I feel like they deserved their own story! If that had been the case, I would have rated this much higher.

Overall a cute and quick read that ends positively with an adorable couple!

I really wanted to enjoy this book as I do enjoy a good romance set in the hospital but something about it made it really hard to read and connect with. Thank you for the arc though!

I sadly DNF'd this one. I had such high hopes as I am a huge fan of Greys Anatomy but I just could not connect emotionally with the characters.
I felt the love interest fell a bit flat and there was nothing keeping me engaged. It is a shame as it did have such great potential.

Love, Accidentally
Rating: 3.5/5

This was such a cute rom-com! Once I made it through the whole Dr. Luke storyline, I flew through the rest of the book. I absolutely loved all the characters — except Luke and his family. Every other character was so adorable and funny; they really made the story shine. Honestly, I wish the Luke drama had taken up about 1/10th of the headspace it did, but overall, I really enjoyed the story and would definitely recommend it to other rom-com fans.

Thank you to NetGalley and Boldwood Books Group-Ballantine for providing an eARC in exchange for my honest review.

This was bad…

There was no romance and 50% of the book was about someone else?!

Who was Will?! He came out of nowhere and there was no romance with him or Luke.
