This book is much better then the first, and very deserving of a 5 star review.After a few weeks apart, John comes running back to be with Lizzie, who has been just as miserable as he has these past weeks.This time however instead of everything being about sex (which is amazing when we get to it by the way), we actually learn about John's troubling past.We meet a set of new characters, John's brother Tom, the mysterious Rose along with Hannah, and lets not forget Sholto.We have some very sweet and tender moments between John and Lizzie, watching their relationship grow just make your heart race, and yes still lots of steamy sex, not just for Lizzie and John :)John is still all controlling, however is easing up a little with Lizzie's strength to say No.He tries to justify his controlling nature and his bad habit of throwing his money around to get his own way, which gives us more insight to the man John is.In loving that Portia isn't making Lizzie someone who just bows down to John's every whim like a lot of books do.Accidental Mistress seems to be a little more mellow (and i mean that in the best way)This books is the "getting to know each other book"We get to hearing more about the accident that lead John a stay in prison when he starts to open up about his past to Lizzie.And there quiet a funny scene with John speaking to Lizzie's motherThis one takes a little twist, we also have a few parts about Brent and Shelley's new romance interests.Which i must admit is a breath of fresh air, it is also my only heritage about the book.Brent's new love interest is most welcomed after his mishap in TACG, however it just seems for too coincidental, but it can happen.Shelly on the other hand, it kind of was annoying that it seems to be heading in the except same direction as John and Lizzie, which let's face it, is a one in a million shot.Very sad i rushed this book, but it was very hard to put down once i charge.Anxiously waiting for the third installment to complete the series.
