Love & Other Drunken Mistakes
Not yet published
Expected 20 Jun 26Alex never expected to wake up married after a botched proposal to his girlfriend.
Especially not to Euan, the handsome stranger he met in a bar.
It was just supposed to be one drink, some mutual commiseration about their exes. But one drink became several, making it a night neither of them remember.
Now Alex and Euan have to navigate an accidental marriage, both their exes, and an attraction that lingers long after the hangover.
Their drunken night together leads to the mistake—or opportunity?—of a lifetime.

OMG, lo amé demasiado! Es todo tan lindo que muero de amor con estos personajes😭😭😭💖💖💖
Euan y Alex son todo lo que está bien en este mundo. Y Alex, I love him so much! Es tan tierno y cute que no podía más. Euan me encantó en todo momento; siento que le daba ese toque de calma y relax que Alex tanto necesitaba.
Al principio pensé: "¿En serio se van a enamorar en una semana?", pero mientras leía, lo entendí todo 🥹💖. Ver cómo su relación crecía día a día y cómo buscaban seguridad el uno en el otro hizo que todo tuviera sentido y que me enamorara aún más de ellos🥹💖💖
El ritmo del libro es muy bueno y ameno, tanto que no te das cuenta y ya estás en el final. Fue un cierre tan lindo que me quedé con ganas de muchísimas más escenas de ellos juntos💖💖✨

OMG, I absolutely loved it!! Everything is so sweet, and I’m literally dying over these characters😭😭😭💖💖💖
Euan and Alex are everything that is right with this world. And Alex? I LOVE HIM SO MUCH! He’s such a cutie and so sweet that I just couldn’t handle it! I loved Euan every step of the way; I feel like he provided that sense of relaxation and calm that Alex desperately needed.
At first, I thought to myself: "Are they really going to fall in love in just one week?" But as I kept reading, I totally got it🥹💖. Seeing their relationship grow day by day and how they mutually looked for safety in one another made everything click. It made me fall in love with them even more! 🥹💖💖
The pacing was great and very easygoing, so much so that you don't even realize how fast you're reaching the end. It was such a cute and sweet finale; I’m dying for more scenes of them together! 💖💖✨

If the description of the book seems something you'd enjoy, I can vouch that this book delivers. It was just the right amount of sweet, funny and spicy for me, and I love it when a book makes me actually snort and laugh out loud.
Easy to read and follow along (and this is not to imply it's somehow simplistic, it's not. It flows nicely and the author seems to know what they're doing balancing everything. I had no issues of boredom or difficulty understanding what was going on like I all too often do when reading. It stirred up the feels as well. These are something I don't take for granted as someone on the spectrum with adhd). Read it almost in one sitting from start to finish.
Would recommend to anyone who loves a sweet and funny love story where two people are exploring their kinks in a safe but fun way.

** ARC - No spoilers **
This book is a RomCom in literary form. In the best way. I was hooked from the life path-altering first chapter(s) through to the end while witnessing two men handle the challenges of their accidental marriage. The author does a fantastic job of weaving details throughout which allowed me to really picture what was happening. It reads like a film. Between dealing with what the MCs interpret to be logical next steps, developing feelings, and exterior pressures/influences, I myself had all the feels with this sweet, fun, and rewarding story. Read it and escape for a bit. You won't regret it.
