A perfect example of an innocent bet turning ugly. An almost innocent bet. My best friend challenged me to fake marry her (very hot) brother. The same brother who picked on me throughout high school. I didn’t see any harm in playing along. Not like I’d actually fall for the enemy, right? So there I was… Playing the role of Ryder’s fake wife.Desperately trying to draw the line between fake and … wife.
Desperately trying to draw the line between fake and real.
While his tempting muscles stared me right in the face.
While his fingers raked over my curves.
Ruining any attempt to not fall in love.
What the heck had I signed up for?
Was the bet even worth the fake marriage?
Especially if I ended up with a real baby?
‘Accidental Baby’ is a full-length enemies to lovers romance, with loads of forbidden naughtiness – the kind that makes you go weak in the knees. This is Ryder and Trina’s story, set in Salvation, a small town in Nebraska. Ryder appears as Sinclair’s brother in the novel ‘Accidental Love,’ and Trina is her best friend. Enjoy this fake marriage standalone novel that promises a very sweet and emotional HEA!

Oh.My.God!!! This is my favourite Ajme Williams book yet! I loved the previous story of Sinclair and Wyatt and knew that Trina and Ryder would sizzle but they make a hot plate of fajitas look like a platter of cold meats in comparison!
This book had me wanting to scream at the characters on more than one occasion and crying with them even more as I became more invested with their tale.
The characters are so well written that you could live in their clothes and eat from their miss matched plates. The supporting cast are mostly already known so they slot into the story like feet into comfy slippers. The story itself picks up the thread of the previous book but has a life of it’s own fizzing with fake and real, teen angst set to rights, secret poems set to music and Earl gets in trouble with his wife!
Absolutely nothing bad to say about this book. I loved it and totally recommend it; you should read it though and make up your own mind xx

What a fun romance! From the start you knew it would great, 2 people who’ve know each other since forever and with totally different personalities. I love how you get to know the characters throughout the story and you feel what’s going on. The author does a great job telling their story without rushing or dragging it out. It’s a story that you should read.

In this book we get Katrina “Trina” and Ryder. We met both of these characters in Accidental Love. This book can be read as as stand alone but I would recommend reading love first so you don’t reveal any secrets. In this book Trina brings up the fake marriage of Sinclair (Ryder’s sister and Trina’s best friend)and Wyatt (Ryder’s best friend turned brother in law). She believes there is no way it is that hard to be fake married to someone. One thing leads to another an Sinclair is betting Trina that she couldn’t do it for 1 month. The marriage doesn’t have to be real it can all be fake but both parties must agree to the 1 month term. Ryder can’t believe his luck this whole discussion may give him the chance to finally change Trina’s mind about him and show her how he really feels. Trina knows she has a lot of issues and one of them is letting people close to her. The thing is something happened in their youth and instead of seeing it as something that was meant as a compliment it was taken as a jab. Can these two figure things out and find a HEA they would have never thought would happen or will the sins of the past make a future impossible?
This is another amazing hit by this author. Each of her books have you relating to her characters in ways you would have never thought you could. It does have its ups and downs that I really want to tell you about, man do I want to tell you. However I don’t want to ruin the story for any other readers. I will say though I would highly recommend it to anyone and everyone.
Opposites attracts, they say. This story proves it!
Trina, an unsecure little girl on the inside, but an organised, freespoken – often too much – woman on the outside.
Ryder, a dreamer according to Trina, but in real a reallible guy who stands by the people he cares about. He sees people.
I was totally captured by this story, after a couple of chapters and couldn’t put the book down.
I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book.
Like real people having real problems and finding happiness in Salvation, Nebraska
I am loving this series. Each one is a standalone with cameos of characters from previous and future books. Sweet and steamy stories with circumstances which could be real.
Trina (Katrina) Lados is best friends with Sinclair from “Accidental Love” whose twin brother is Ryder Simms, bartender, bar manager and music band singer. He’s had a thing for Trina for a very long time and a situation presents itself that might allow him to prove his feelings for her. Could another fake marriage bring Ryder and Trina together like it did Sinclair and Wyatt?
Trina’s childhood has made her skittish when people try to get close to her. It’s even worse with Ryder b/c she has feelings for him that she wants to deny. She contends that she is too ordered and controlling to fit with Ryder’s too-carefree attitude. Will they survive a month together? I guess the fact that the title is “Accident BABY” says something…hmmm. Wonderful ending too!
We get a glimpse of Brooke who will have her own book, “Accidental Affair” next. I would love to have a book about Simon Stark if he ever has a “come to Jesus” moment and becomes a nice man. Hint, hint, hint…
I was offered an ARC of this book to review but I chose to purchase it. I give it a real, no accident 5 stars.
I’ve already preordered the next two books!
I’m jumping right in and saying this book had me sweating bullets reading certain parts hollering no no no that can’t be happening. Ryder and Trina’s attraction to each other started a good ways back growing more intense as years pass and you can feel the sparks getting hotter. I like how Ajme s characters from her last book blends into this new one It’s exciting, passionate / steamy you’ll see for yourself.

At the salvation station bar where Ryder works his sister Sinclair and Trina are talking about the fake marriage between Sinclair and Wyatt when Trina and Ryder make a agreement to try being in a fake marriage for one month to see how hard it is . I loved how these two get over their own challenges and work together . Awesome story
Frustrating characters & toe curling sexy attraction…
The blurb & some previous reviews have outlined the story. It was so well written that I read it into the wee hours. It was a “fake” relationship full of misconceptions & frustrating misunderstanding but underpinning the drama was an undeniable attraction. A bit slow on the uptake the heroine tried to tamper down her feelings but the hero demonstrated repeatedly how much he cared & what a great father he intended to be. I received an arc & this is my honest & voluntary review.
A fake marriage with an enemies to lover romance read that will keep you entertained from start to finish. I enjoyed the banter between Ryder and Trina and what started as a bet between friends became more when chemistry sizzles and a surprise leads to a HEA. An enjoyable additional to the series that doesn’t disappoint.
I really enjoyed reading this book. The story line was awesome and the characters well developed even though they pissed me off sometimes. I liked the way the author captured the aftermath of childhood neglect. It was a great read.

– This was a wonderful romance. Ryder was such a special guy and Trina was such a bitch to him it is a wonder that he cared for her at all. She took his easy going as lazy with no ambition even though she had known him forever and was best friends with his sister. Most all of the twists, turns and surprises in this story are caused by Trina and her misconceptions of everyone she knows. Even after living together for a month she doesn’t see his value. Eventually they managed to get back on track and go for a happy ending.
This is Enemy to Lovers romance……A simple bet turns into something totally different when a fake marriage starts to be real and a baby is on the way. This is Ryder and Trina’s story. The storyline was so interesting that it completely captivated me and was so intriguing that I couldn’t stop reading it until I finished with the very last word. I definitely recommend this book to anyone looking for an amazing book. Enjoy happy reading

A wall of doubts
Very good romance, which is simple, but hot and very well written, especially in the description of the crossing of doubts of the heroine Trina who seems cold, closed and who however has a completely different behaviour with Ryder, the brother of her best friend, whom she depreciates by saying to him that he’s a loser because he seems immature and lax.
Yet he has been in love with her for more than 10 years, even if he doesn’t know why she has been running away from him for all this time.He will try to take advantage of a bet to seduce her in one month.
The relationship of the characters is made more complex by the prejudices around Ryder, and the self-destructive behavior of all relationships that Trina sets up.

Accidental Baby
A Fake Marriage Romance #2
By Ajme Williams
I fell in love with this enemies to lovers romance that follows Katrina and Ryder as they prove to his sister Sinclair and her husband Wyatt that a fake marriage couldn’t be that hard. (Why because Wyatt was saying it was hard to pretend to be in a fake marriage.)
So that’s how the bet came about.
A little back story:
Trina set Sinclair up with her now husband Wyatt in a fake marriage to save his farm and the town in the previous book called Accidental Love to keep a wealthy despicable businessman from building a prison and destroying their town and farms.
Ok back to the storyline:
Katrina (Trina) works as the mayor’s secretary in the small town of Salvation, Nebraska with her bestfriends Sinclair who is deputy mayor.
Ryder is Sinclair’s twin brother and works at the local bar/grill called Salvation Station as a bartender and he’s in a band. He is laid back, funny,unorganized,loves his family and some say a ladies man. Then you have Trina who is the opposite very organized, strict, all business no fun and comes off as very standoffish even judgemental. So they are basically oil and water. Oh and to top it off she has been angry at him for ten years. This story was sweet,funny,romantic, with a touch of drama but oh so hot and sexy.

Five emotional sweet and sexy
Don’t forget to check out the first book in the series Accidental Love.
I loved reading Accidental Baby Ajme Williams. It was such a great book. This story is about Trina and Ryder. They were in a fake marriage to win a bet. Ryder had feelings for Trina since high school. But something happened in their last year of high school that made Trina hate Ryder. Their relationship was rocky to start with, but once they got together, it was steamy and heated. But it was going to take a while to convince Trina that Ryder was in love with her. I love stories that have fake marriages because even though they are fake, the feelings are oh so real. Especially when an unexpected pregnancy is there. Such a great book to read!!!

Feisty, out spoken and driven describes Trina on a good day. How could the easy going, laid back Ryder want her so badly that he agrees to a fake marriage to prove to her that they are meant to be together. Loved it. Be sure to have the tissues ready.

Ajme Williams has written a 5-star book. This book is about the ups and downs in the relationship between Trina and Ryder. They both get talked into a bet that they can have a fake marriage for a month. Things are rocky at first then they start to go good for them. Ryder thinks that maybe he has changed Trina’s mind about him. They were friends and then they weren’t and he does not know what he did to change her mind about him. He has always wanted her and now is his time to try and win her. Trina has a problem with trust and always thinking people in her life will leave her so she doesn’t get close to people. Trina and Ryder are almost at the end of their fake marriage and something has happened to make Trina think that Ryder is making room for someone else to take her place. They get into an argument over this and she wants to leave but Ryder stops her by telling her that they will win the bet if she stays. Trina finds out she is pregnant right before the fake marriage ends. She tells Ryder and then tells him that he is not ready to be a father. This causes a fight between them and this time she leaves. The things they say to each other has both of them thinking and Ryder does something about some of the things she said about him. This gets Ryder in some hot water with his sister Sinclair but when he explains why he did what he did she forgives him. It has been a week since Ryder has seen Trina and he goes over to see how she is doing and things don’t go so well, they end up in a fight and she makes him feel worthless and lower than pond scum. He tells her he is tired of trying to win her and if she wants to be alone he will never bother her again. He tells her that she pushes people away and walks out. Sinclair goes to see Ryder and he tells her what happened between him and Trina and how he felt. Sinclair goes and lets Trina have it for treating Ryder that way and tells her a few things that she didn’t know about Ryder.
Can Trina get Ryder to give her a second chance?
Will Ryder forgive Trina for the way he has treated him and give her a second chance?
This book was a wonderful read and I would recommend it to anyone.

Wow! A perfect dose of drama and love. Trina is a tough cookie who needs love but she has to be open to it first. Ryder is just so sweet and deserves to be happy. There are misunderstandings, wrong choices and an instigator where all together form enough drama. Such a good story with great main and supporting characters that will keep you reading.

This is the first book I’ve read by Ms. Williams and I will be back to read more of her books. I was reeled in from the first page to the last. I loved the depth to the characters and how the story builds. Each chapter was told from either Ryder or Trina’s point of view and they have a lot of history since his twin sister, Sinclair, is Trina’s best friend.
We get to know the characters a little at a time and as the layers are pulled back their feelings and emotions are exposed. They have known each other a long time but ten years ago she froze him out and he has no idea why. Neither knows how the other felt back then or even what they feel now so we get to know them as they get to know each other as well. The story flowed nicely and had a lot of steaminess and foul language, some over the top. I like how Ryder seems to get Katrina better than anyone and she’s often in the moment until her head gets in the way.
There is some closure especially with the epilogue that takes place one month later and gives us a hint at the happily ever after. I would have liked if it went just a little further in the telling. Second Chance Romances are one of my favorite tropes and Accidental Baby embraces it. This is a connected story to Accidental Love, Sinclair’s story, which I’ve added to my always growing TBR pile. I loved the cover.
This is a fun story watching two opposite personalities with some history trying to keep from falling in love. In “Accidental Love”, the previous book to this one, Katrina (“Trina”) had arranged for her best friend, Sinclair, to enter into a fake marriage with Wyatt to save his farm and the town from a nasty guy’s plans. Wyatt and Sinclair, Ryder’s twin, were talking about how difficult a “fake marriage” was. Katrina and Ryder couldn’t imagine that. So a bet was made that those two could not stay in a fake marriage for a month.
Trina and Ryder unfortunately have a history. He has loved her for a long time. But 10 years earlier, he had done something in high school that backfired and hurt her so much that she had not spoken to him since that day! Trina is a very organized personality, pretty rigid. Ryder is happy and carefree, living each day as it comes. But long-held anger doesn’t mean they both don’t feel the attraction that is still there. They thought this would be a simple bet to win, but they didn’t account for the real feelings that arise. Can Ryder find out what upset her back then and help her understand his inadvertent mistake, or will Trina walk away from the love of her life?
This was a good story with lots of feelings and good characters the reader can care for. Grab your copy and see if they can recover what they have lost and find their HEA.
