BOOK REVIEW- Leveled: An Accidental Marriage Romance (Lilac Harbor #2) by Evie Graham

   

Leveled is an accidental marriage turned fake relationship story with tons of laughter and love. This is the second book in the Lilac Harbor series of standalones. I've become a Vegas cliché.

Woke up next to a strange man? Check.
Wicked hangover? Check.
Small boulder of a diamond on my left ring finger? Also, check.

I've never been known for my excellence in decision making. However, this one decision may take the cake. I've somehow ended up married to Everett Brown, the world renowned woodworker notorious for being a reclusive grump. That reclusive grump is also tall, dark and handsome as hell.

After Everett's agent calls congratulating him on his nuptials, and talking about how amazing it will look for the upcoming media showcase on him, I realize we need to stay married and live together. At least for the next few weeks anyways. Now I have to continue running the family hardware store while also playing the role of blissful newlywed. I've never been married before, but I've got this. Marriage can't be that hard--right?
5 STARS
I TOTALLY loved this story.  And I know it's because dang what a gal Mac is!  She's funny, charming but also with a mouth that doesn't quit.  Not in a horrible way like some characters can be but just funny in her direct way! She's not out to hurt anyone but she's also not about to stifle herself either.  Humor is her weapon though and she wields it well.  She even gets her new hubby Everett to crack a smile more often and also some deep belly laughs too. And everyone says he's grumpy!  She seems to bring a different side out of him and that was fun to watch even though she could see it scared the heck out of him.  
Speaking of scared, on the inside Mac is kind of scared too because she's not too sure what to do with the feelings she has.  Oh, yeah the physical attraction they have no problem with. It made me smile when she called him Lumberjack, and she wanted to climb him like a tree.  Oh course, he called her pixie, and it was funny to read how much she could pack away when it came to eating. 
I enjoyed it all the way through and the ending didn't disappoint either.  It left me wanting more of this couple but I'm not sure it could get any better.
