ACCIDENTALLY ON PURPOSE is book three in The Heartbreaker Bay series and I think the best one. This is a story about two headstrong individuals who want to be in control. What makes this series so great is the way that Jill Shalvis gives each character a unique personality. Even though they are not what a traditional family is, there is no question that they consider themselves a family. There is a protectiveness for one another -- even if on occasion they may get on each others nerves.

I really enjoyed reading this story about Elle Wheaton who has a love of shoes and manipulating the men who work for Archer Hunt at his security firm. Elle came from a tough background that put her in serious danger. Archer came into her life right at that moment and made a decision that changed his law-enforcement career. There is a chemistry between them that is explosive. But Archer has decided to ignore those feelings. Which means he will have to watch Elle go out with other guys. These two will keep you entertained with their reactions when others try getting close to them.

I really enjoy Jill Shalvis and her style of writing. She always gives her characters the greatest personalities that are so entertaining. Particularly with Elle and Archer I love they way she showed their vulnerabilities and the way they put up a great front in trying to show how in control they were. Archer always tried to show himself to be a "Feels-Free Zone." But dealing with Elle will break him down. Elle has the take no mess personality. She has feelings for Archer but since he seems to want to ignore them she decides to try to move on by seeing other guys. But once she makes that decision and Archer begins to sabotage those dates then the simmering detonation explodes.
