What Are Accidental Romance Books?


Romance and erotic novels really hit their stride back in the 18th century. In spite of developments in modern technology, they're still going strong today.


If you are looking for a steamy romance with a twist then romance books about waking up married will be right up your street!


Unlike traditional romance books, they are usually full of surprises and confusion. But don't worry, there's still plenty of love, lust, and longing.


A lot of accidental marriage books start with the wedding — Vegas often makes an appearance — and explore what happens next. There is plenty of room for intrigue and excitement, particularly with characters who don't know one another.


And, of course, the ultimate question: will this accidental marriage stand the test of time?


So what are you waiting for? Let's take a look at some of the best accidental romance reads around at the moment!


Best Accidental Marriage Books About Unrequited Love


As you can probably imagine, most accidental marriage reads get a little bit complicated. After all, the characters didn't plan their wedding. In fact, a lot of them don't even know the stranger that they call a husband!


However, these books also explore the complicated feelings under the surface of each character. Maybe one person wants the marriage to continue or maybe they have had feelings for one another for years.


One thing's for certain, you won't be able to put these page-turners down until you've found out what happens in the end!


#1 Dark Wild Night by Christina Lauren

In spite of this, all is not quite as it seems in in Dark Wild Night. In reality, Lola has been drawn to Oliver since the day they met. Pulled in by his sexy Aussie accident and how at ease she feels around him, their accidental marriage seems almost too good to be true.


But does Oliver return her feelings?

And if he does, will he say anything before the marriage is over and it's too late?
