Read using kindle software on an ipad. Presentation of book is decent and easy to read, though the change to smaller font as guy was talking to Emma in her head took a little getting used to (small font? Could it have been in italics or simply a different font? Smaller looks like a formatting issue. Anyway minor point that didn't distract from the story overall) Writer says in the introduction that she hopes she makes us laugh, which gives me the permission to say this is a really silly book, but in a good way. Emma has been hearing voices, and a very specific voice, in her head since she was a kid. After a car crash leaves her in a coma for months she takes a trick down to Mexico to free the man in her head from the trap he's Benin since the 1940s. She does, he's huge and georgeous, guy then has to work out not only who trapped him but why and where the other gods are. Meanwhile the baddies are tracking Emma down to use her uniqueness to their own ends. Whilst this is silly, especially the first part, underneath there is a decent story reasonably constructed, with plenty of exotic and lavish locations. Not quite those who prefer traditional romances - several scenes of Emma checking out Guy's equipment as he walks around naked, and there are mild levels of swearing Twenty-two-year-old Emma Keane is just your average city girl trying to get a date. She's a petite and bubbly redhead who's always up for having a little fun. There's just one tiny snag holding her back from finding the perfect guy. And that would be...well...'Guy': the disembodied male voice speaking to her in her mind. Sound kind of crazy? Probably. But crazy turns downright deadly when the voice persuades Emma to travel deep into the Mayan jungle. There she will be able to free him from the prison where he has been trapped for the past seven decades. Humans are so vulnerable, so undisciplined, so susceptible to their emotions - particularly love. He must have spent too much time among human-kind before his imprisonment, because it certainly seems that many of their vulnerabilities have begun to alter his personality. That must be the only reason why from the first moment this ancient being connects with Emma, the feelings she sparks drive him utterly mad. Never before has he felt such a protective, keep-her-close, never-let-her-go kind of madness for one particular woman. Actually, that might not be such a bad idea, because from the moment the beautiful, passionate Emma unshackles his body, they are hunted at every turn. Now he'll have to do everything in his considerable power to keep her safe. But will that be enough? Honestly, if he wasn't already immortal, Emma Keane would quite literally be the death of him! This is the first book by Mimi Jean Pamfiloff that I've ever read. I usually enjoy reading paranormal romances - especially stories that draw from cultural myths. In my opinion, this was a thoroughly engaging story - filled with a number of likable characters - along with several characters who I felt quite comfortable hating from their introduction, as well. The plot was thrilling and action-packed, and held my attention until the very end. I give Accidentally in Love With...A God? an A+! and look forward to reading the next book in the series sometime very soon. I'm actually quite curious to see how this story will continue; and how each subsequent book will incorporate the world that Ms. Pamfiloff has created with this series. inga recensioner | lägg till en recension
