review 1: Love by Accident by Michelle Beattie.This book captured me from the beginning to the end. The characters were so real to me that I could submerse myself in their feelings and emotions. I could share Lauren McKinnon’s feelings; her guilt, her self-recrimination,her grief over the past and her shock when Matt Skarpinsky appeared in her life again.Just as real were Matt Skarpinksy’s feelings of anger and betrayal toward her. I could feel his confusion, his grief, his loyalty to his friend Gil, and his conflicted feelings of love and hate for Lauren.And I loved how Gil slipped in and out of the story, nudging them toward understanding of what had really happened 4 years earlier, when the three of them had been close friends. He subtly encouraged them to find their way to ... moretruth and forgiveness, truly wanting his old friends to find happiness.I also love, love, loved that the story was situated in Jasper, Alberta; a place of exquisite beauty and one that I am familiar with. I was totally blown away when I discovered that Michelle Beattie is an Albertan also.I look forward to reading more of Beattie’s work and highly recommend Love by Accident to anyone who enjoys a heart touching romance.
review 2: I've been a fan of this author since her "pirate" days but was unsure of her shift to contemporary romance set in Canada - but she did not disappoint. This book covered a lot more terrain than a simple romance - there is a touch if paranormal, well researched info on the Cdn Rockies/National Parks, wildlife and the complexities of sudden death/survivor's guilt and moving forward after a tragic loss. If you've ever been to Jasper you'll appreciate the landmarks and detail the author takes to describe the landscape. The heroine and hero were complex, flawed and relatable. This is NOT a hokey romance novel. Michelle did a great job writing this and I look forward to her future e-books! less
