Accidental Romeo (Marriage Mistake, #3)

English - Español
I hate the books that put women in meaningless situations. In those that make them look stupid. That my mom has to make a deal with a stranger to employ his son in the family bakery business in exchange for him being my partner at my sister's wedding? Bad very bad. And that I accept it as Good and valid even if I don’t agree? Worse, much worse.
The book starts more or less well. Wendy is on her way to bring a cake for a celebration and almost runs over a teenager who is crossing the avenue on a skateboard. Only her old vehicle, the skateboard and the cake suffer damage and she doesn’t have time to make a new one. Then the teenager's father arrives, very worried about his son.
He is the most beautiful man on the face of the earth and after verifying that his son is well, doesn’t offer to buy a cake to replace the damaged, but calls directly to the best pastry in the city to order one the very pedantic, who believes that everything can be solved with money, which he has a lot, obviously.
Wendy doesn’t accept it and she goes to her business to solve the problem. Very good for Wendy up there, but from the next day on she becomes what Hunter (the beautiful man) and her family want.
But it's not just that the book makes Wendy look bad, but in the end did also Hunter because, despite being supposedly a very intelligent man, who together with his brother managed to create a company now billionaire, makes things that are of people low on brain and influenceable.
And it's the book I've read that most has the word "fucking".
If I wrote this review similar to the book it would read like this: The fucking worst thing about this fucking book is that it is so fucking predictable that you always know what fucking will happen.

Yo odio los libros que ponen a las mujeres en situaciones sin sentido. En las que las hacen quedar como estúpidas. Que mi mama tenga que hacer un trato con un desconocido de dar empleo a su hijo en el negocio de pastelerÃa familiar a cambio de que el sea mi pareja en la boda de mi hermana? Mal, muy mal. Y que yo lo acepte como Bueno y válido aunque no esté de acuerdo? Peor, mucho peor.
El libro comienza mas o menos bien. Wendy va de camino a llevar un bizcocho para una celebración y casi atropella a un adolescente que va cruzando la avenida en patineta. Solo sufren daños su viejo vehÃculo, la patineta y el bizcocho y no tiene tiempo de hacer uno nuevo. Luego llega el padre del adolescente muy preocupado por su hijo.
El hombre mas hermoso sobre la faz de la tierra y tras verificar que su hijo está bien, no se ofrece a comprarle un bizcocho para reemplazar el dañado, sino que llama directamente a la mejor pastelerÃa de la ciudad para ordenar uno el muy pedante, quien cree que todo se puede resolver con dinero, que tiene mucho, obviamente.
Wendy no lo acepta y se va a su negocio a resolver el problema. Muy bien por Wendy hasta ahÃ, pero del dÃa siguiente en adelante se convierte en lo que Hunter (el hermoso hombre) y su familia quiera.
Pero no es solo que el libro hace quedar mal a Wendy, sino al final también a Hunter porque, a pesar de ser supuestamente un hombre muy inteligente, quién junto a su hermano logró crear una compañÃa ahora billonaria, hace cosas que son de gente bruta e influenciable.
Y es el libro que he leÃdo que mas tiene la palabra “fuckingâ€�.
Si escribiera esta reseña semejante al libro se leerÃa asÃ: Lo fucking peor de este fucking libro es que es tan fucking predecible que siempre sabes lo que fucking pasará.

I had a bit different take on this story. Wendy didn't have a date to the wedding for the same reason she was a 25 year old virgin, because she spent nearly every waking hour working in the bakery. Not because she couldn't attract a man if she wanted to. I thought she allowed Hunter to take her to the wedding because she was tired of her family's negative gossip and wanted payback for her overbearing bitch of an older sister. Other than refusing to accept Hunter's offer to pay for the damage to her van I didn't think Wendy ever looked foolish. Hunter on the other hand seemed to make one idiotic decision after another.

I have to say that in my opinion since I look at things as the glass is half filled.Wendy had a true sense of herself and what she developed through living in the shadows of her self centered egotistical sister who looked for one thing and missed all the flaws of her relationship with a true to fact trustfund ass.
Hunter I believe was filled of grief and deceit knowing one day that the truth needed to be told to Ben!! He wanted the best for Ben and forgot his true self in all the unknown about the death of his brother and sister-in-law.
As for Cory it was a tell from the 1st time he stepped into Hunter's home. But Hunter was blinded by the part Cory played in his survival during the war.
Then we have an extremely rich and handsome man who put his business and life at bay to raise a child the best way he new how and became obsessed with his safety and the secret he was trying so hard to keep hidden because he didn't want to loose what he and Ben had.
Wendy jolted his masculine side and brought a spark he hadn't felt in years to him.
I loved how she nutured Ben, and how she took him under her wing and actually stepped in and saved him from heartbreak with the only parent he ever knew and kept him from entering down the road he surely didn't want to travel.
As far as the relationship with Hunter she didn't want a pity date because her self-esteem was already low due to living with her sister, but caring enough that she continued to put up with it.
The arrangement her mother made with Hunter so she would hire Ben on her part was appalling, but it really gave Hunter the in to put him right where he wanted to be even though he had to work for what he was trully after.
Wendy carried herself well even though wanting Hunter she didn't want him as a default and her actions with Ben got her there on their own. Not only did she make a difference in one life but three all because of who she was. Cory was as sleazy as they come and got what he deserved.
All and all the story held my interest because of all the build up and I wanted to see it all play out. I also love the way Ben found his on way for the future he wanted with help help of the roll models he grew up with. That he made his own decision in wanting to love his dad for him not just what he did for him.
