Accidentally on Purpose

By: L. D. Davis

Narrated by: Serena Daniels

Kyle Sterling is Emmy's boss and the biggest jerk she knows. He's abrasive, uptight, and selfish.

When Emmy sleeps with Kyle after a night of drinking, she quickly tries to put the mistake behind her. When the duo is snowed in together over a long weekend, Emmy begins to discover there is more to Kyle than his mean-spirited behavior. Unfortunately, Kyle has a steady girlfriend he is unwilling to break up with.

Moving on and putting that long weekend behind her, Emmy starts dating attorney Luke Kessler. Luke treats Emmy with kindness, reverence, and loves her unconditionally. He is everything Emmy should ever want in a man - sexy, intelligent, successful, and funny, with strong family bonds. He is definitely everything her loudmouthed, overly opinionated mother could ever want for her. Even as their relationship takes off, Emmy is finding Kyle hard to shake. He aggressively pursues her, blatant in his feelings and desire for her.

When Emmy succumbs to her hidden feelings for Kyle without setting Luke free, devastating consequences ensue. Addicted to Kyle, unable to purge him from her life, Emmy's once easygoing life is now on a path of destruction. Will she let go of this man before it's too late? Is Luke's love truly unconditional? Will Emmy ever recover from accidentally-on-purpose falling for two men at the same time?

A Love Triangle That Frustrates You

I was frustrated listening to the book. I at times I really liked it but other times I wanted to yell at them. Emmy is in love with two men, Luke and Kyle. Of course one is the nice guy and the other a jerk. This book made my emotions swirl. I was mad, frustrated and sad for Emmy. She just could not get her head screwed on straight. At one point I thought ok she gets it and then she flip flops a bit and I wanted to scream. I definitely liked the book because it was different. You have to be able to get past the cheating in order to enjoy the story. (that part frustrated me a bit) I also did not like this narrator. It was very difficult to know who was speaking because her male and female voices were all the same. This sometimes caused confusion if you were not paying close attention. Her female voice was ok but not one of my favourites. I would says this book is different enough to not be bad and keeps your interest throughout.

Two thumbs up!!

This book actually turned out to be better than I thought it would...It made me laugh, eventually cry....I wasn’t always able to relate with the main character because I’ve never been in love with 2 men, but still it was nice to read about a woman’s perspective on this. I really loved Luke, from the beginning....I felt the lead just had to stop getting in her own way and mature...

Unexpected

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

No. Simply because it dealt with way too many themes. I felt very overwhelmed after reading novel. I'm glad it had a happy ending but I think it could have gotten there without the meth and abusive weird relationship.

Excellent Story

Emmy falls for two men. These men are entirely different. I enjoyed this book because it's so real to life. You can love someone that is totally bad for you. The sexual situations are very mild, but this book covers very adult situations that many face in their life. It's a book worthy of a credit.

Love Triangle at It's Best

If you could sum up Accidentally on Purpose in three words, what would they be?

Emotional, Angsty, Rollercoaster!

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Absolutely! I just could not put this down. I lost plenty sleep but it was worth it!

Any additional comments?

I loved this book! To sum it up, Emmy runs into her dick of a boss, Kyle, at a bar and hook up. And that is where the fun begins! Kyle and Emmy pursue a relationship but Kyle already has a serious girlfriend and can't break up with her. Emmy gets fed up after a while and tries to move on with another hot guy at her office, Luke. He's had the hots for Emmy for a very, very, long time. Emmy loves both men and despite the circumstances she tries to balance both guys for a while and this takes a toll on her. There were some hilarious moments as well as gut wrenching moments. If you love roller coasters, you will love this book!

Glazed Love

I read this book back when it came out, but listening to it brought a whole different feeling to it. Emmie and Kyle were so wrong for each other given the toxins they consumed to have the spark they got from one another. I honestly felt Kyle did love Emmie and what she gave him. Enter Luke....woah that guy was it. Hands down had it together and showed Emmie a different world than what she had. And it had nothing to do with money. So looking forward the next book!

Incredible!!!

The story is amazing... The characters so intense. I couldn't stop reading.
You most read the complete trilogy!

Another Winner for Me!

Although, I'm not fond of books about cheating....this book kept my attention. Its worth the credit to me! I would categorize this book under New Adult Romance.

mindless self indulgence at it's finest

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I would recommend. It's an easy listen and can be entertaining at times.

How did the narrator detract from the book?

Serena Daniels' performance is what made this book horrible for me. First off, she sounds about 20 years older than Emmy. Second, I could not, for the life of me, understand her character voices. She had Samantha sounding like friggin Eliza Doolittle and Kyle occassionally sounded like some creepy homeless man that stole children in the night. Very disappointing.

A deep story

I would recommend this book to anyone. This is a story of a person's mistakes and how we can learn from them, move on, and still find happiness.
