I did enjoy this book, mostly because of the humorous inner dialogue of Sheri. Not to mention several different characters we meet throughout the book. Sheri was constantly talking and many of her thoughts were really funny if a little self-depreciating. But that just served to make Sheri more relatable. Everyone probably gets down on themselves mentally(I know I do) so this inner dialogue made Sheri even more real than she had already appeared.

Then there was Sam. He carries a weight all his own around and I am just glad that I don't have to carry it. It great to see that he wasn't as perfect as he seemed. There are things that trip him up and not even he can do everything well the first time. It definitely made him human.

I also enjoyed the fact that we got time with the twins, mostly with their mother or Sam. It was those cute little things that the twins did that definitely made the book stand out to me.

This book is great in the relationships and characters that were brought to life. Nothing and nobody was too perfect or too wacky or anything like that. It was perfect in that way and I think that the characters really brought the story to life. Marine for Hire is being released on July 21st according to Goodreads. Go give it a look!

However Tyler finds it hard not to fall for the spunky Sherry and  is determined that she be his forever girl. Can he convince her or will their marriage end? Find the official description on Goodreads.

While reading this book, I found myself quickly wondering what Sherry would say or do. It was amusing, and I had a smile while reading the whole time. Then there were her interactions with Sherry just made me laugh in addiction to the crazy smile I had on my face. Sherry was just so happy and almost carefree that she made you smile and laugh. Then there was Tyler. I felt really bad for him although I was really cursing him for some of his decisions. But at the same time I could understand...even if I didn't approve of it.

Then there were some things that made me chuckle and roll my eyes. For example, I chuckled at Sherry's rules. Because really how often are rules followed in romance books? Absolutely never. Or I guess rarely. But it just made me chuckle and look forward to Sherry's reaction when the rules were bent or broken. 

And I have to admit there were several sigh worthy moments in the book. The kind that would make me swoon if I could swoon. But since I can't or won't, here's a gif of Hermione(Emma Watson) swooning: 

Okay, swoon over. But literally I dare you to read this book and not sigh over some of the more romantic gestures. 

Accidentally Married on Purpose is a great read and I'm very happy that I was able to get a copy to read. The music industry and the celebrity issues were certainly enlightening and I loved the romantic gestures that Tyler made. If you're a romantic at heart, and love celebrity-regular people romances than give Accidentally Married on Purpose a chance. It is being released on July 14th, 2014.
