Where should I start? First of all let me say I own this book and have read it about four times. That's not including the two times I read it on line. This story offers so much in the way of characters and emotions. As your reading it the characters seem to come alive right in front of you as if they are real. Now alot of stories start out slow, well at least in my opinion they do but not this one. They get straight to the point and it takes off with you hanging on for dear life. The story starts out describing the two main characters, Rose Grayson and Veronica Cartwright and their seperate lives but fate has a twist in store for them. They meet on the most unusual and frightening terms. Veronica "Ronnie" is driving home one snowy night while some what intoxicated and not paying much attention to the road. A figure darts out in front of her car. She tries to stop by slamming on the brakes but it is to late she has hit Rose much to her dismay. The front end of her red porsche in shambles. In a shear state of panic she does what most people wouldn't do she picks rose up off the ground and drives her to the hospital. She brings her into the emergency room saying the young woman had been in a hit and run accident and leaves her life in the hands of doctor. Thinking she could just leave and forget about the whole incident she discovers it's not that simple. To make a long story short she ends up having to stay around a little bit longer then anticipated and possibly making one of the best friends someone could ever have. Now I'm not going to give away all the details but I'm sure you understand where I'm going with this. As I said before the story has a way of engulfing you and not letting go. Putting this book down was one of the hardest things for me to do and it still is. If you are a fan of BLMiller then you will not be dissapointed with this story at all. For those of you who have never read any of BLMiller's work I highly recomend this story as a starter.

B.L. Miller does a wonderful portrayal of two lost souls from two different worlds who get thrust together by fate. She carries us along on a rollercoaster ride of emotions that will keep you turning the pages and even 'burning the midnight oil'!! Don't start it on a week night just before going to sleep -- you'll never get to work the next day! You'll fall in love with the characters before chapter 2 and they will haunt your memory long after you finish the story. So, do yourself a favor and buy it for a great summer read! (or any other time of the year, for that matter.)

I thought this book was a wonderful experience. With characters and situations that had great depth. I want to be encouraging to both the writer, BL Miller and the publishing house. Keep producing great work, and I'll keep buying.!

This is a very well-written story. It has love, humor, angst... all those things that make a story stand out. The author has done a terrific job of portraying her characters, and making the reader feel their emotions. I applaud her and hope to see more books by her in the future, but I will not buy any more books from this publisher. While the story is marvelous, the book itself is appalling. There are numerous typographical errors in it. A ways into the book, the font changes. There is even one place where a very large section of text is repeated in the midst of a sentence on another page. These seem like errors that could have been caught simply by reading the manuscript. The publisher should be ashamed for letting something this poorly edited go out its door. Even though the story is very entertaining, the book is certainly not worth the price paid for it because of the poor quality. 5 stars for the story, -4 stars for the book quality.

I loved this book! I lost myself in the characters and was unable to put the story down until I'd finished it. I'm a sucker for a happy ending and I got one in this book...after a wonderful journey.

This is my first reading of Miller series and I simply find this story irresistable. I've started it and despite my extreme busy work life, I still insisted to have a chapter read before bed. Though the story was very unlikely to happen in real world, I still find it charming to share the joy of the growth of Rose and Ronnie's relationship. I just love them! Miller has done a real good job in hanging our appetite in exploring the inner thoughts and feelings of the characters, especially the psychological dilemma faced by Ronnie. This is one of the best buy books I truly recommend!!!

This is abosolutley the best lesbian fiction story I have ever read. The characters are so real after the first chapter you feel like your getting to know actual people, once you start you simply can't put the book down I made the mistake of startig to read this on a Tuesday nignt and called in sick the next day as I statyed up all night to finish reading it. That was 3 weeks ago and I've re-read it twice since then. I didn't want the story to end. The characters have stayed in my heart and thoughts. The story was not rushed B.L Miller took her time and gave us insight to all of the key players, I thank her for not craming this story into 150 pages but for giving me and actual novel that I will keep on my shelf for life. I highly reccomend.

Like someone else mentioned on here, it's like a hetero romance, but with two women. I basically skipped all the love scenes because they were making me gag. (And the "I love you" bit during those scenes was so repetitive that I was getting pretty annoyed.) Also, I couldn't help but look at Rose as something of a Mary Sue. She was way too perfect and conveniently everything Ronnie wanted in a woman. It took forever to get anywhere, and the plot was really hard to believe. No one acts all lovingly towards a stranger unless there's something wrong with them. If I were Rose, I'd be a little freaked out that this woman who appeared out of nowhere was treating me like some potential love interest or like we'd known each other for years.

Seriously, unless you want to read some cheesy, soap opera-like romance (with "strong hands" and tears galore) in a book filled to the brim with typos, stay far away from "Accidental Love."

Loved every minute of it. Wish she could write full-time

Take two characters from completely different lifestyles and throw them together, they fall in love and it's rocky but they have a happy ending, that's how you get a Romance novel. Take two characters from completely different lifestyles, a car, an accident, guilt, one big secret (or lie, which ever way you see it.) add in family issues and then they fall in love, you get Accidental Love. It stood out from a lot of the other romances that i've read, mainly because Veronica Cartright wasn't the knight in shining armour as Rose Grayson thought, there was more depth to it than just wanting to get each others clothes off. Every time they seemed to get closer to each I kept asking myself, but what about the accident? And I did feel that it took a long time for Rose to find out the truth and only a short time for her to forgive Ronnie but it still worked and I thoroughly enjoyed it. A definate must read.
