Rate this book
Ella is running from a broken heart, at lightning speed. When she takes to the icy roads, in a storm, late at night, it was bound to end in disaster.

Layton has left the world he knew, far behind, after being scorned by love and is hiding out high up in the mountains. It's here where his heart and soul have found the peace he was seeking.

So what is it that brings these two fragile souls together at a time of year which should be joyous?

Aleisha Maree knew she was going to write... well, since forever.
As soon as she could read, she wanted to be that escape for others.
Words pulled her in and held her tight in a world that captivated your soul and took you on a journey.
She crafts sensual, sexy, tantalizing stories that weave together her love for darkness, pure passion, and most of all human emotions which dance on the cusp of your soul.
She's from the South Island of New Zealand born and raised in a tiny but extraordinary village called Wakefield which holds so much more than her heart.
She now lives in the North Island of New Zealand in another village called Wharepapa South with her husband and 6 kids on a dairy farm.
When she's not consumed by those beautiful humans, she's knee-deep in writing, working on another work of art to captivate your soul and mind. To take you to the edge and back again.
She's a dark soul and introvert who loves nature and water, is insanely in love with coffee and reading.
She can always be found with her family with a book in her handbag and the wind in her hair.
Just keep an eye out for all the loud crazy kids, and she will be like right there!

Accidental Impact was a sweet surprise! I’m use to the angst and and deep darkness of other romance stories that Ms.Maree has written. It was a very easy and pleasurable read.
Ella is an up and coming young professional on the track to partner in her dad’s company. Dr Layton James is a trained, registered doctor that has left that life to escape to mountains above Christchurch, New Zealand to raise trees and manage lumberjacks.
These two have ran from bad relationships and find each other when Ella Crashes her car during a weird snowstorm a few days before Christmas, and Layton finds her and rescues her. They discover a quick soulmates attraction, Ella discovers that a man can truly be romantic and tender for real, and Layton discovers that there is a woman for him, and only him. I would love to read more like this quick novella from this author. Very nice indeed Aleisha!

Accidental Impact by Aleisha Maree is a second chance romance- with insta-love, betrayal, heartache, shattered dreams, healing, and finding love when you least expect it.
OMG!!! I think this is one of my favourite novella’s, ever!! I just loved reading Ella and Layton’s story- it had just the right amount of sweetness, sizzle, and emotion. My book-boyfriend harem just gained a new member- Layton….swoon!!!! Win-Win!!!
Ella works in her father’s law firm- putting in long, hard hours to prove herself. She has very little time for anything else. But with Christmas fast approaching Ella has taken time off to relax for the first time in years, and has plans to whisk her boyfriend away for a romantic getaway to a cabin in the mountains. Only all her plans, and her heart are shattered, when she walks in on him and his secretary getting their grind on, in Ella and his home, and in their own bed of all places!!! Devastated, she decides to head up to the cabin on her own, to get away and process it all. She never factored in having to drive up a mountain range in a snow storm. Swerving to miss hitting a little bunny, she loses control of her car and crashes over the embankment and into a stand of trees. Unconscious, things look pretty dire. What happens you ask…. Well you really should read this little gem and find out all the sexy details for yourself!! It’s well worth the read!!

Thank you, Aleisha Maree!!

Accidental Impact is a second chance romance with insta-love, betrayal, heartache, shattered dreams, healing, and finding love when you least expect it. This is Layton and Elle's story. Such a well written story and a pleasant read. I love how this is set in my country New Zealand.

Ella works in her father’s law firm, putting in long, hard hours to prove herself. She has very little time for anything else. But with Christmas fast approaching Ella has taken time off to relax for the first time in years, and has plans to whisk her boyfriend away for a romantic getaway to a cabin in the mountains. Only all her plans, and her heart are shattered, when she walks in on him and his secretary getting their grind on, in Ella and his home, and in their own bed of all places.

Layton James is a trained and registered doctor that has left that life after walking in on his girl and twin brother going at it. He backs his thing and gets the next flight out of Auckland which is to Christchurch. Now he lives in the mountains, raises trees and manages lumberjacks.

They find each other when Ella crashes her car during a snowstorm a few days before Christmas and Layton finds her and rescues her. They discover a quick soulmates attraction.

If you want short and extremely sweet, then Accidental Impact is the book for you!
Aleisha Maree knows how to pull out the goods and this was beyond amazing.

Ella is a hard working Lawyer with long hours and an extremely big work load. She's spent so long focusing on her career she's ready for a break, and what better time to have one then Christmas.
Sometimes though, plans don't always pan out as they're supposed to and Ella finds herself in quite a predicament. But is it a bad one?

Seriously, even though this was a shorter read than I'm used to it was damn perfection! Fast paced with every emotion I hoped there to be and more.
I have no worry recommending this novella to all romance lovers out there!

This was a quick and fun read and while some parts are borderline problematic Maree's humor easily diffuses the situation and pokes fun at the regular romantic genre.
