From coffee to dry cleaning and all the important moments in my executives’ lives, I was the go-to girl at McAllen Enterprises—a title I loved eleven months out of the year. But by the time Valentine’s Day rolled around, I was over the gifts, cards, flowers, dinners, and most of all, personal shopping. So when a kink—Gavin Rose—makes his way into my annual holiday endeavors, I’m expecting the … expecting the worst but praying for the best. And I’m surprised by the accidental arrangement that blossoms amidst the Valentine’s Day chaos.

I honestly don’t know how I can start a new book from this author when my heart is still broken due to her latest release.
It’s the truth. Honest to God’s question the made me think it over one day.
It was hard to recover but I had to. She needed me so it let it go, but I didn’t forget.
Stephie Walls knows what she’s doing. She knows that her words have the ability to slice your heart into tiny pieces.
Her writing is that powerful. Her words get right into your heart and it can go two ways. It can warm you or cold you…
Accidental Arrangement is her latest release and tells Analiese’s story.
Analiese worked in a major company as a personal assistant for the four owners. She was responsible for their schedules, meetings, family stuff. You named it. She was super-efficient.
The only downfall was that to being this successful she didn’t have time for herself.
And it was perfect. It was a short story but so perfectly balanced.
The way it was written it made my heart burst with feelings and love.
It was a joy to read and to feel every single emotion.
These two were made for each other and it made me want a bit of more romance in my life.
Stephie… This was the perfect way to take my head out of the gutter. After the last book, I read it was well deserved. I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.
Fun, sweet short Valentine’s romance. In the beginning I was not a fan of Analiese she came off kind of snobbish, but then her whole persona changes and you can’t help but feel for her as she struggles with situation one of her bosses out her in. Gavin is a hot CPA who inherited his grandma’s floral shop and meets Analiese. There is an instant attraction but because of her jobs high demands Analiese believes she will always be a spinster. But as Gavin woos here she starts to see things differently.
I won an ARC and volunteered to leave a review.
3.5 Cranky Stars
I’m not going to lie, I didn’t care for Analeise in the first few chapters. At first. She was not likeable. She was the uptight “I want to speak to the manager” type. As the story progressed though it became obvious why she was like that. It set the stage for some really good character development. I was quite impressed with her transformation.
Gavin, however, was one dimensional. He had no edge. We never really get to know him. He’s cookie cutter perfect. Too perfect. All in all it was an OK read. I’m giving this a 3.5 out of 5 stars.
Accidental Arrangement is sweet and steamy with a side of drama. This beautifully written novella is perfect for the season of love. I loved the heroine, Analiese, who was hardworking and independent. The hero, Gavin, was kind and funny.
The way in which they meet and get to know each other is unexpected and quite enchanting. Their quirky relationship is a sweet slow-burning one which had me rooting for their success.
I enjoyed the way Stephie Walls included a true moral dilemma that Analiese had to navigate. Her approach to how she handled and resolved the situation was rooted in truth.
This quick read made me laugh, smile, and swoon. It is the perfect story to read for Valentine’s Day.
What a wonderfully sweet book just in time for Valentine’s Day. I really enjoyed this story about Analiese & Gavin. Even thought it is a Novella I didn’t feel like anything was missing from the story and I felt completely satisfied once it was over. I voluntarily reviewed an advance reader copy of this book for an honest review.
Accidental Arrangement
Stephie Walls
An amazing, fun, terrific, heartwarming, and sweet novella! Loved it. I didn’t want it to end! Highly recommend!!
“Do you love me?” That word wasn’t enough to describe the depth of my feelings for Gavin; four letters couldn’t do it justice. In fact, there were no words in the English language that came close. It was spiritual, a connection that didn’t have a definition. It just was. “I do.”
Accidental Arrangement by Stephie Walls was a sweet valentine Day novella that I enjoyed reading. This slow burn romance was a short, quick read and will hold your interest from beginning to end. You will love Analiese and Garvin, two likable relatable characters who had great chemistry. This heartwarming read was at times emotional but will have you smiling throughout the majority of the story. This was a fantastic story and I would highly recommend it to everyone looking for a Valentine’s Day read.
4.5 stars!
A beautiful and sweet novella just in time for Valentine’s Day!
I couldn’t get enough of Analiese and Gavin. Took me on an emotional charged rollercoaster ride that I didn’t want to end. The story was unique and full of love.
So many books and full of angst, and bad boys, and heartbreak, sometimes it’s just a breath of fresh air to read something that is just a sweet, simple love story.
in this beautiful book, we meet Analiese, the assistant to all the bosses at her company, she spends her days running around organising their whole lives, and the peak of that is Valentine’s Day when she has to organise gifts, dinner & flowers for the wives and children, in that act of buying flowers she meets accidental florist Gavin, who is just a lovely, kind, gentle man.
This is a sweet look at their path to each other and I loved every minute of it!
Accidental Arrangement is a cute quick read that will have you going all mushy inside. Analiese and Gavin might not of started off on the right foot, per say. But, when he was the one that was able to put a smile on her face with just a text, you just knew that this was going to be interesting. And when curve-ball after curve-ball was thrown at Analiese, Gavin was the one thing in her life that made her day.
Walls definitely brought her readers a HEA that will make them swoon. The characters and their story was one that was quite enjoyable. It was also nice to see a soft side to Walls, that you don’t get very often.
Stephie Walls reels you into her Valentines day novella, Accidental Arrangement. Accidental Arrangement centers around an executive assistant to four high powered needybosses and a local florist who continues to save the day.
Analiese is in a pivotal decision making moment of her life. Continue with her high powered, overworked and under appreciated lifestyle or take a chance on something new. She never expected her knight in shining armor to be a florist, but when Gavin saves the day and quietly woos her with roses, what’s a girl to do?
Walls truly captures a fun, sweet romance with this one. Every girl can relate to Analeise in one way or another. I love that this wasn’t your typical single awareness day novellas centered around a lonely single girl. Walls’ character is full of life, has a ton going for her, but truly is on a journey to be happy. While she falls wholeheartedly for her knight, she doesn’t necessarily need him for success. I truly liked that about this novel. Gavin didn’t just pursue her for her looks, but for her ability.
Accidental Arrangement was a wonderful, unexpected find this Valentine’s Day season that I hope you’ll take a chance on and enjoy.
ACCIDENTAL ARRANGEMENT is a wonderful slow-burn romance novella just in time for Valentines Day.
Analiese Bonner is 28 years old and has been at McAllen Enterprises since she graduated from high school. She is the personal assistant to four very demanding executives. Valentine Day is right around the corner. As part of her job she is responsible for buying gifts for the four wives to be delivered on this romantic day. She has this all planned out, as she does every year. When they drive up to the same flower shop that she always ordered the “perfect” flower arrangement, personally designed for each wife. There was something off. Something felt different. And when she wasn’t greeted by Violet, the owner of the shop, her concerns became real. Violet had passed away, and in her place was her grandson, Gavin Rose. He was by far the best looking man that Analiese had ever seen. Their attraction was instant, leaving her with a hard time remembering that she had no time for a personal life.
Analiese and Gavin will have a slow start to this instant mad passion, that started the first day they met. Everything about him made her heart swoon. She felt Gavin was the reward for the last ten years of single life. Yet, lots stood in the way of their budding romance. Maybe everything about them might have been fated or simply an accident. But this was the best arrangement she ever imagined. So I recommend you read this book and enjoy their journey.
Accidental Arrangement by Stephie Walls is such a sweet, swoony, fun, heartwarming slow burn novella just in time for Valentine’s Day.
Analiese is an Executive Assistant for four powerful CEO’s in New York City. A job she’s done with pride. When she meets Gavin a CPA/new florist owner she’s instantly attracted to him, and him to her. These two are sooooo adorable. Their romance sweet, and slow burning.
I DEVOURED this beautifully written novella and couldn’t get enough of Gavin and Analiese. Ms Walls has given us the most perfect Valentine’s novella.
I loved this sweet heartwarming quick read! I adored Analiese and Gavin’s story, I couldn’t get enough of them. Analiese meets Gavin at his Gram’s flower shop, that he has now taken over. Right from the start sparks fly between the two. I really enjoyed this sweet, beautiful, romantic Valentine’s Day story. I highly recommend you give it a read you won’t be disappointed.
Analeise is a very busy personal assistant to four executives at McAllen Enterprises. No time for a personal life. She meets Gavin at CPA who has taken over his Gram’s flower shop. Sparks fly!!!! This is a beautiful, sweet, quick read. My only bad thing to say is this was my FAVORITE short story and I wish it would have been a full length novel.
