I really enjoyed Accidentally on Purpose. I truly disliked Emmy and her actions. I couldn't stand how she could be physically involved with two men. As a reader, we met Kyle, her prudish and difficult boss. He was a challenge. And that was the initial attraction Emmy had for him. Then we meet Luke, her co-worker, whose extremely funny and charming. With Kyle there's a physical, sexual type of attraction. And with Luke, it's also physical, but friends w/benefits kind of attraction. Emmy has the best of both worlds. She's too selfish to pick one. But Luke makes up her decision for her. He's no longer in denial regarding their relationship. He tells her off and leaves her for good. So now she's left with Kyle. This is when I feel Emmy realizes how much Luke really meant to her. She misses him and just can't move on. There's now this big void in her life. She knows deep down she made a big mistake taking advantage of him the way she did. And Kyle turns into a drug taking, woman beating jerk. He beats the crap out of Emmy knowing she's pregnant. We find out its Luke's baby and five months after baby's born, she tells Luke. And Luke being the class act  kind of guy he is, asks her to live with him. He wants to get to know his son.  But, he doesn't forgive her. And he's still extremely hurt with her. He expresses this through anger and sarcasm. And that pretty much sums up book one. Book two is Kyle's story after Emmy leaves him. I honestly couldn't read it. I ended up disliking him so much after book one. The last thing I want- ed is to see Kyle have his HEA. That's how much this character affected me. I always liked Luke and was interested to know more about him. And, BAM, book three comes out. Thank you. I loved reading thru Luke's eyes(or his perspective). I truly love Luke's character. And Emmys damn lucky he forgave her nasty butt.  :-)  But book three gives us more of a storyline other than his POV on what we've already read. It gives us a story after their happily ever after. And it does not disappoint. I really enjoyed it. Luke is no push over and we learn why he's so cold hearted and frigid with Emmy. It's to protect himself from getting hurt again. And I love that when he stops fighting his feelings, he can still love her unconditionally. Luke's story is my favorite. Please read and enjoy as much as I did.
