Accidental Arrangements
Not all arrangements are truly by design. Some happen by chance, by fate, by… accident. Jules Tyler is in desperate need of a roommate. Levi Graham is in desperate need of a room. And while it may seem like the perfect match from the outside, it doesn’t take long for egos, expectations, and experiences to say otherwise. But what happens when the proximity builds a chemistry between them that neither is prepared to handle? Will living as roommates become too much to bear? Or will it be the perfect jumpstart to a happily ever after? ( While it can be read as a standalone, this book does contain major spoilers for the Spite Series.)

Julia’s attitude ruined this book for me...usually I’m able to stay bias and not side with the man or the woman… But Julia’s attitude was way too much for me. I felt like she got mad at the smallest things and no matter what Levi did she was still angry… And the scene where she fights that girl in the bar and then Levi has to apologize, I still don’t understand why he was apologizing when he was trying to get the girl away and Julia is the one that came out of nowhere and punch the girl after Levi came to see Julia after being away and Julia had that unexplained attitude and didn’t tell him why… Anyways, it would’ve been a good book if Julia did not have such a bad attitude!

Good Read
3rd book I've from Alexandra Warren and I must say she is winning me over with her stories. Jules irked my soul the entire book, she was just mean and stubborn sometimes for no reason. Jules knew what she was doing from the moment she accepted Levi"s offer yet she acted like b!@*h the entire story. I loved how Levi didn't give up on him dreams and went after what he wanted. I love his relationship with his sister, niece, and nephews. Layna shady behind added to the drama and I hope she gets her own story because she has been doing the most in these books and I would like to know her story.

Levi, whew child!
Loved this book so much, I'm actually going to do re-read tomorrow. Levi and Jules were stubborn and kept getting in the way of their own happiness. The were sexy as hell, stubborn and clueless about love, but they finally got it together! I just found Ms Warren's books and I'm glad I did. Love your work. Ok, so I'm re-reading this, then on to another one of your books. You've truly got a new fan!

Romance at its best!!!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This book was so good I couldn't put it down. This was romance at its best. I'm a sucker for Oman even and this definitely hit the spot. It was different but I'm a good way. This was my first read by this author but definitely not my last! Great job girl you set the bar high with this one!

This is my 3rd or 4th read by this author and though I really have been enjoying them, I'm truly OVER the men constantly calling their women "Pretty Girl" or "Beautiful" all of the time. I could accept it by an individual character or 2 but not in almost every book.

Amazing
This book was so refreshing. I just loved it. I love all this author books anyway. I was about to get upset they both were so stubborn. It all worked. Great read.

Sometimes we try to fight the love because it scares us. I am so glad Jules & Levi figured it out in the end!!!

I didn’t really like Accidental Arrangements because the story was far too long and drawn out for no reason, the characters were stereotypical, and the characters weren’t likable at all. The FMC, Jules, was manic with her mood swings and it made her challenging to root for. Because I didn’t like her, I didn’t want her to win and it made me want to bail on this story multiple times. There was also a lot of internal dialogue that I found myself skimming.
The real story is the MMC, Levi’s sister Lily and Levi’s agent Damien. But we didn’t get that story.
Spice: 🥵
Content Warnings:
Moderate: Religious bigotry, Cursing, and Sexual content
Minor: Emotional abuse, Death of parent, Alcohol, Grief, Infidelity, and Abandonment

Love ALWAYS win
I need to first talk about how much Jules aggravated me. UGH! I honestly had to pause a few times because she just got to me… until she didn’t. Until I started to understand why she was the way she was. I loved this book. I loved how it ended. Loved how the accidental roommates became lovers. Loved how they pushed each other to go after their dreams and they both achieved what needed to be done. Jules and Levi had so much in common that I couldn’t see them apart. It was killing me when I thought they were done for good. But the resounding message from this book was “you make time for the things you love” and I wholeheartedly agree with that message. I RECEIVE that message. Alexandra you did it again sis!

I liked the previous books I've read by this author, but I am not feeling this one. It would probably be a better book if the heroine wasn't so terrible. I really don't care for Jules or her disposition. I'm 44% through the book, but I am on the verge of not finishing. Pushing through to see if it gets better just because I liked the author's other books.
UPDATE: Okay, so I ended up finishing the book and things definitely got better once you get past the ice queen Jules. I really did love Levi and the story of redemption and growth. Overall, it was okay. Didn’t care for the first half but I liked the ending.

Listen, I know Jules aggravated the girls (which is very clear by the fact y’all keep calling her Julia and we went through a whole thing about how that’s not her name lmao) and yes she aggravated me too, but I still loved this book. Yes Jules was frustrating and irritating and got mad about stuff that wasn’t necessary. Yes Levi was sweet, but he was also naive, and childish and made some dumb mistakes too. Both can be true. I think what I loved about this is that both characters were so obviously flawed that you wanted to smack them and root for them all at the same time! As far as I’m concerned, Alexandra Warren definitely delivered with this one.

Sweet Story
I enjoyed reading Levi and Jules story. I absolutely loved Levi he was a sweetheart and had a lot of patience with Jules. She was irritating with her attitude all the time. I however, loved the fact she didn't look down on Levi when she found out he was a professional basketball player who was down on his luck. I'm glad both of their dreams came to fruition. Enjoyed the book Alexandra!

The character well thought out and put together ijn such away I didn't want to let go! It was an amazing and awesome read for me... Made me aware of some of ther things I've experienced. Really wish there were a part 2! Would love to see how Levi and Jules relationship continue to grow

I liked the element of the story where the 2 characters were trying to find their ways individually and their meeting and coming together was purely coincidental as both were in need; however, the female lead exhausted all of my patience with her stubbornness to a point where it began to feel very childish. I get being guarded and wanting to protect your feelings, but she took it to another level. Overall a good read, I finished the story in one sitting.

No accident
The arrangement between Jules and Levi was no accident. It was pure fate that lead them to meet each other as they were. They eventually learned to accept each other with their flaws and all, even with Jules being a mean ass. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book and gladly recommend to others.

Yes!!!
First time in a very long time that a book had me in tears!! Jules and Levi are definitely relationship goals! Jules got on my nerves at first...then I realized how much damage her early family life had done to her and why she had trust issues. Levi virtually matured and blossomed simply from the love and affection of Jules. This was a really great read!

Second chance
a really good book I laughed,cried and got annoyed at Jules and Levi they was too stubborn for my liking but I'm happy how they came together in the end. I wish there was more about his basketball career and her acting take off hope you do a second part and include Lily and Damien love connections please.

3.5*
Levi Graham❤️ I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Jules a bartender and aspiring actress finds the push to pursue her dreams from her swoon-worthy roommate, Levi, a basketball player who has fallen on hard times. I enjoyed the fresh storyline and, that Levi Graham😍. Jules was a tad too dramatic for me at times but I still had fun with their story.

strong emotional and suspenseful writing!
This was written to when I felt her heart break. I cried too when she was talking about how she was feeling. That’s some strong writing! I loved this story. And I loved how she kept us on pins and needles about which way his career would pan out. It wasn’t obvious which side of the court he’d land on

That Levi Graham and Jules are something else. I was rooting for Jules to tear Layna behind up lol! It truly takes a strong couple to have each other's backs the way Jules and Levi do!

Alexandra again you created a variety of scenarios in a story which help or get the characters to where they need to be for themselves and with each other. Love the story. Great Read!🙌

Another hit!
I loved reading Jules and Levi's story. Although they both tried to deny and hide their feelings real recognized real eventually and they stopped fighting it and each other

😩👏🏾
I just about jumped in the book to punch Jules in her face. LOL. She’s still my friend, but she worked every nerve I had. Happy that they made time and put forth the effort to reach their goals. This book definitely earned five stars.

Pretty good story
This was a good story. The female was annoying because she seemed so high strung and angry. I rolled my eyes. She made things way more difficult. Very immature. If that's what the author was going for I guess it was believeable.

Love or basketball
Jules is in desperate need of a roommate. Levi happens to be in desperate need of a place to stay. After Jules had rebuffed Levi's advances, imagine her reaction when she sees who shows up as the response to her online ad.
