It’s all fun and games in Vegas… until you accidentally marry your best friend.Last night, I married Jules.That’s right, I married the girl who thought I had cooties in fourth grade.Yeah, we drank a few too many shots of tequila. We danced a little too close. But nothing prepared me for the taste of her lips.All of a sudden, we were in a borrowed limo (don’t ask), ripping each other’s clothes … ripping each other’s clothes off, whispering dirty promises.
Then I was on one knee, asking her to make it forever. And she was saying yes.
This morning, everything changed.
She wants to erase our night. Go back to normal.
Only there’s no more normal. I’m acutely aware of her long legs, her soft curves, her sweet moan.
Mistakes be damned.
She’s my wife. I’m not about to let her go.
Accidental Husband is a standalone accidental marriage romance full of heat, humor, and heart. Come see why readers say “no one writes broken bad boys like Crystal Kaswell.”

This series just keeps getting better and better i love it. I was hooked from start to finish and couldn’t put it down. I cant wait for the next book and hopefully there will be plenty more hot alphas from this author.
Such a great read! I love how this series has had so much real emotion, real issues, showing how raw these couples can be. Griff and Jules make me smile with them, make me hurt with them, and embrace everything about them. They have a true growth that I couldn’t get enough of. A must read. Now, on a side note, I’ve been curious about Chase for a long while now and I’d really love to dig deeper into his life, his pain and see where his story can take us. Fingers crossed!

I have always enjoyed the characters Crystal creates. Griff and Jules are no exception. Griff may be one of my favs of the Inked Heart series. I was not ready for this story to end. It gave me all the feels and kept me turning pages.
I loved everything about this book the characters are well developed and engaging with a storyline that flowed smoothly and the chemistry was hot.

Great friends to lovers story. Jules and Griffin have been besties since 4th grade. He doesn’t want to mess up with his best friend. She needs him for support and when she cancels her wedding, he takes her off to Vegas for a “forget him” trip.
I believe this is part of series but it does stand alone. This is a big book with serious issues and a friends to lovers backdrop. We know they love each other and we (and all their friends) think they’ll be great together but neither wants to make a change that might damage their friendship. A wild romp through Vegas and bit too much to drink and they wake up married. Now they have to figure out how to make it work. Both have backgrounds that make them wary. Neither comes from a good place. They are both damaged but together they just might make it.
Great interactions between the characters and a fun time was had in Vegas. I loved the overall story and the characters although the book felt a bit wordy and was choppy in some places. If you like this type of story, these things won’t bother you. (I voluntarily reviewed an ARC).
Accidental Husband is the seventh book in the Inked Hearts Series, it’s Griffin and Juliette’s story. This is a fantastic friends to lovers story with alot of angsty situations. It tackles mental health issues with class. I really liked this sweet angsty love story. Another great book in the Inked Hearts Series! Must Read!
Reading this book is a great way to spend a few hours. Best friends turn in to great spouses in this book and their chemistry is amazing. It’s a story that allows you to imagine that sometimes accidents can be great and work in your favour! That being said it’s not all roses when these two realize they are married and never planned it as the brain and emotions have to catch up with reality. There is personal baggage that comes along with every relationship and has to be sorted out, there are some emotional scenes in this book. It’s very well written and a delight to read.

Accidental Husband was a great story it is emotional, with some drama and definitely some love. The characters are very lovable, Griffin comes to Juliette’s rescue when she is getting picked on while in elementary school and this is where the story will grab hold of you and keep you hooked while you get to know and understand these great characters.
There are some ups and downs that keep you turning the pages. This was my first book by this author Crystal Kaswell and I found her writing was very well done and look forward to reading more. I voluntarily reviewed an advance reader copy of this book.

So what happens when you wake up in Vegas married to your best friend? So many feels in this book. There are the typical appearances by other Inked Hearts characters, but Crystal takes you on a different journey with Griffin and Jules. They’ve been friends since elementary school, so they know everything… or do they? Crystal touches on a very important subject in this book (as most of her books do). There is the love, the hot, spicy, dirty talk that she always has. But this one delves deeper – she gets more personal with the characters.
Amazing read. I can’t wait for the next of the Inked Hearts guys.
You will not be disappointed in this book! I’ve read all the Ink Heart books and I have to say this one is definitely one of my favourites.
Marrying your best friend right after you break up with your fiancé a day before your suppose to marry him? Sound like a great love story right? It might not but it’s Jules and Griff fairytale love story.
But Jules has a secret that she thinks will ruin it all. This book isn’t all sunshine and rainbows. Jules struggles with something that is very real, very scary and very common. She needs griff more then she knows. He needs to be her lover, best friend, her number one friend and her protector.
If this book doesn’t get you right in the heart then you need to re read it! It will give you all the feels. So in love with Griff and Jules and their HEA

As I read the blurb I was thinking this is going to be a great read. Well it turned into a fantastic read!
Juliette and Griffin have been friends since grade school and have always been there for each other. She is set to get married and her world is turned upside down. Griffin is there to take her to Sin City to get her mind off of everything.
Griffin knows Jules better than anyone and he knows she needs to get away for a few days and what better place to do that than Vegas? And he is determined to make sure she is satisfied.
These two have an amazing relationship but amazing also comes with complications. Honesty, self harm and love are all an integral part of this story. These two find a way to work with what issues they may have between them because they know how they feel about each other. Whether they stay together or separate it’s all that matters is that they don’t lose each other.
Griffin was such a sex pot full of stamina, love for Jules and the will to persevere. I couldn’t have loved his character more. He was like many men who wanted nothing more than for their SO to be happy and healthy. I absolutely loved how much he loved Jules. Not just her mind and her soul but for while she is. Flaws and all. He loved her for the scars she had and didn’t think twice about letting her know how much he loved her.
Jules was such a sweet character. Like so many people she struggled with how to say what she wanted to say and how she felt. She had trouble dealing with her feelings and turned to cutting. That was her release. Her way of coping even when she couldn’t handle things. She felt guilt and shame for her doing this to herself and for lying to Griff. But she knew more than anything that Griff was the one that she loved most. He had always been there and she didn’t want to lose the one person she knew she could always depend on.
These two characters were two of my absolute favorite. They had flaws, so does everyone else. It made them that much more identifiable and real. I am super excited to see if Krystal will continue their story!!
Thank you so much to Crystal for the free review copy in exchange for my honest opinion!

Jules and Griffin have been best friends since elementary school. Neither of them can imagine a life without the other. Griffin is a bit of a man-whore, while Jules has been engaged to a man until she suddenly cancels her wedding. To take her mind off of the situation, Griffin takes Jules to Las Vegas with the intent of finding her someone to sleep with. Very quickly, the two realize they are attracted to each other, and they make a big decision, after getting drunk, to have $ex and get married. The next morning, Griffin knows he wants to stay married to Jules, but Jules is hiding a secret, one that could push Griffin away and cause him to divorce, potentially ending their friendship.
I’ve read Crystal Kaswell before in her Inked Hearts series. I love the characters she creates, and the connections she makes between the characters. However, I tend to struggle with her style. There was something a little stilted with the language of the story. If I put my Master’s cap on for reading this one, I believe it is her way of showing the difficulty that Jules and Griffin have in communicating their feelings and desires. What it tends to do is make the story choppy.
However, overall, I enjoyed the angsty nature of this story. As the reader, you root for Jules and Griffin to figure out their deep love for each other. Even more, there is an important message in Jules’s secret. It suggests that love cannot always take away everything, but it can make it better in the end.
“Why didn’t you tell me I was in love with you.” – Easter Parade, Fred Astaire (Don Hewes), Julie Garland (Hannah Brown)
Step aside Fred Astaire and Julie Garland, I’ve found a new favorite couple. Accidental Husband makes it okay to fall in love with hokey. Griff and Jules are match made in old movie heaven with a modern day appeal. Kaswell turns flawed into flawless with a comedic flair that stays in your mind and in your heart. That’s why she is a constant on any bookshelf.
Griff and Jules are the BEST of best friends – and they have been since childhood. They tell each other everything… or do they?? When Jules calls off her wedding Griff plans to cheer her up with some Vegas fun, but the fun ends up being more than they’d planned when they find themselves married after a night of drinking. Will the transition from best friends to lovers work? Will untold secrets ruin their new relationship before it gets off the ground? I love how Crystal Kaswell develops the story of Griff and Jules – and how they work together to help heal old hurts. As per usual with the Inked Hearts crew – there’s plenty of sweetness, steam, and sexy humor to keep the pages turning.
Crystal has a way of capturing personal and relationship struggles in a way that is so unique yet real. Griffin and Juliette are no exception to the wonderfully complex characters that drive her work.
This book could be triggering to some but the challenges faced by this couple hit very close to home for me and were handled in a unique and very real way. Crystal didn’t wave a magic wand and cure them both of their baggage with a promise and a kiss. She did so well working through the difficult and “day at a time” recovery that is necessary.
Problems in life are not fixed overnight and Crystal just does such a wonderful job writing this for her characters and audience. I can’t wait to see what she cooks up for her next couple.
