I've read one book by Nicole Snow before, and I decided it was time to jump back into another read. Accidental Knight had a mixture of humour, lust and suspense that kept me flipping the pages!
Title: Accidental Knight
Author: Nicole Snow
Series: Marriage Mistake #4
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Accidentally wed to a screaming hot stranger.
I inherited a freaking husband.
Grandpa's will was a shocker: huge fortune, gorgeous ranch, and the best horse ever.
The fine print? Marrying Mr. Grump-alicious.
The man who's supposed to protect me from...what, exactly?
That's what I hope to find out if Drake Larkin ever talks.
I know what I'm in for the first time his glance tears me open.
A broody enigma who's large and in charge.
A mute who curls my toes when he barks a few words.
A silly, shameful, is-this-real-life crush I can't afford.
Did I mention our pretend marriage-rodeo lasts six damn months?
Long enough to teach my heart cartwheels.
Time enough to seal this madness with a kiss.
Insane enough for secrets to slip - and sting.
Grandpa's last wishes scare me. So do Drake's real motives.
But it's my beast of a "husband" who makes ridiculous seem right.
Have I found my knight?
Does love have a prayer when life throws us a dragon?

I read the blurb for Accidental Knight and was intrigued immediately. How would one get accidentally married to someone... I just needed to find out. Throw in the will of a quirky grandfather, a cheeky horse and a hot ex-army sniper, and you know I was hooked!
Bella returned to her Grandfathers hometown after he passed and I could see that she was a lost soul. The relationship between her and her parents was strained and she didn't really have anyone that she was close to. After the reading of the will, she was shocked on what had happened and was looking forward to heading back to the ranch that she loved staying at when she was growing up. What she didn't expect was the hot old army buddy of her grandfather at the house.
I really enjoyed watching the connection between Bella and Drake grow. Even though they got off to a rocky start I could see that they only wanted the best for each other and the town. There were other factors entwined throughout the story and I could feel the suspense building in the story. I didn't particularly like Bella's parents to begin with, but they began to change and grow on me throughout the read.
Accidental Knight was a pretty fun read with lots of entertaining moments, and a slow developing build between the two main characters Bella and Drake. The little messages from Bella's grandfather made my heart swell, as I could see the love he had for Bella and Drake. I loved the connection that Bella had with Edison the horse, and how clever he was. The suspense in the story added another element to the story, and I liked there was another reason for Drake's passion. Overall, it was a really good read, and I am glad that I tried another read by Nicole Snow.
I have a few teasers for you today... I just loved these two and the chemistry between them!
“I hope you liked what you saw,” she whispers. “As much as I liked...well, everything.”
I smile and kiss the top of her head. “Don’t know, darlin’. I might have to see it a few more times before I’ll know for sure.”

“Oh, wow,” she whimpers. It’s barely there, but my ears hear it like starving wolves sensing prey.
I smile down at her. “What’s the matter, gorgeous? Don’t tell me you’ve never seen a grown man before?”
Her little teeth pull on her lip. Her big green eyes waver. There’s something she’s not saying, and when I realize what it is, my cock fucking hurts with raging need.
“Shit, woman. Don’t tell me you’ve never done this before?” I pinch her chin softly between two fingers, making her look at me, while my free hand goes to my belt and begins to tug.
“Not with anyone like you, Drake. Not with...not with anyone.”

“Holy smokes. I wish you’d told me it was the best thing ever,” she says, running her fingers over my muscles.
“Can’t say that ’cause it’s not, darlin’.” I wait for her to look at me, surprised. “Best ever’s coming. Round one’s just a warmup.”
“Round one?” She laughs, her eyes going adorably jittery in her head. “Oh, my, yes.”
I smile, pulling her into another kiss. So maybe I’ve created a sex-crazed little monster, and damn if I don’t love it.
