Blog Tour for Love & Other Accidents by Jackie Walker

Title: Love & Other Accidents

Series: Love and Laughs Book 5

Author: Jackie Walker

Genre: Steamy RomCom

Release Date: November 23, 2021

Something about Nick O’Malley gives my middle finger a boner — despite his sexy Irish accent, which seems to give my nips boners (but that’s beside the point).

I’m not sure why I can’t stand him. It might be the man bun. Or the arrogant way he speaks to me. Maybe it’s the way he looks at me like he’s starving, and I’m an adorable snack cake.

Well, F that! I might be small and delicious, but I am not on the menu — for him or anyone else.

When my naughty pup causes a slight fender bender, the cocky dog trainer claims he knows just what I need, and much to my dismay, he’s right. And if you ever tell him I said that, I’ll junk punch you.

But now, the more time I spend with him, the more I start to see a different side of him. Maybe all those explosive words between us were more like fireworks.

I can’t act on this simmering attraction, no matter how tempting it may be. Aside from being off the D, the threatening text messages and unwanted “gifts” showing up remind me why staying clear of Nick is necessary. He’s not safe if he’s stays because a stupid accident from my past is still haunting me.

Except Nick doesn’t back away from threats. And shockingly enough, he has a protective side I find incredibly hot. But the longer he stays with me, the more danger he’s in.

I may have dented his bumper, but I can’t risk the damage I’ll do to his life… or his heart.

One day during the COVID quarantine (a.k.a. the dark time), Jackie was reading yet another laugh a minute rom-com by Lucy Score or Pippa Grant, and she thought to herself - hey, I can do that. And so, she did and it turned out even better than even she thought possible.

Jackie is a fresh face on the romance author scene destined to shake things up with her signature blend of light-hearted comedy, over the top characters and romantic heartwarming moments. A voracious romance reader herself, Jackie writes stories featuring the four S's: Snark, Swoons, Steam and Sarcasm. Her heroines are bad-ass and her heroes are easy on the eyes and heavy on the charm.

When she is not writing funny stories about swoony heroes and the women who get to play with them, she is reading all types of romance novels or taking care of her army of cats and her teenage son (who also speaks fluent sarcasm).

He's black and white. She's neon technicolor. But together, they'll find they're exactly what each other needs.

Firefighter Alexandra Maxwell has lived in the shadows of her family's firefighting legacy in her small Iowa hometown for most of her life. So when she's given the opportunity to transfer to Chicago, she jumps at the chance to spread her wings and make her mark in the career she loves.

Chicago cop Gio Rossi enjoys the quiet life. He's all about his job and his close-knit family. When his brothers offer up his spare room to 'Alex', their new firefighter colleague, he definitely isn't expecting a leather-clad, motorcycle-riding, adrenaline junkie woman to turn up at his door.

Despite trying to fight their growing attraction, when a near tragedy on the job has Alex doubting her judgment, it's Gio who's steps up, determined to prove to his strong-willed, independent roommate that showing your soft spot does not make you weak, it simply makes you real.

Can these two unlikely bedfellows find common ground and see what everyone else around them has seen all along, that together, they can work miracles, even if it's just with each other.

“Did you have fun tonight?” I ask.

“Yes. So much fun.” She beams. “Your sisters are nosey.”

I chuckle. “They are.”

“And they love you.”

“They do.” I have to grit my teeth when she leans her weight against me, her breasts pushing into my chest as I tense my arms to stop her from rocking her pelvis against mine. She’s hot, I like her, and she’s cute as hell. There’s no way I can fight my instincts right now. 

“I have a secret,” she whispers.

“You do?”

“I like you too.” I still, my body locked in place.

“You do, huh?”

“Yep-p,” she says with a hiccup. “Wanna see me be a stripper?”

I shake my head at her, biting my lip to hold back my laugh.

“You don’t?” she gasps dramatically, but it’s totally for show. Then I’m back to gently holding her back from rubbing herself all up against me. She glides her hands over my head to cup my face, holding me there and looking me straight in the eye. “You suuure?”

“Not sure Fred’s old enough to see that.”

“Fred’s a plant. He doesn’t have eyes. But I was thinking . . .” She closes her eyes, seemingly losing herself to the music.

I squeeze my hands on her hips and she slowly opens them again. “You were thinking?” I prompt.

She bites her lip and looks up at me with the biggest, most irresistible, lust-filled gaze I’ve ever seen. Fuck, that’s a damn good look on her too. “I was thinking I could use you as my stripper pole. Maybe show you my moves and see if they work.”

“Oh, they’d work alright, but maybe we should wait until you’re a little less drunk and a lot more cognizant.”

She furrows her brows and I fight back a groan. “Cog-ni-what-now?”

“How about we wait until you’re thinking clearly?”

“You sound like my father. He used to tell me off when I’d come home tipsy.”

“Totally not your father, baby.”

A goofy smile appears, transforming her features. “Baby. I like that.”

“You’re a cute drunk,” I say, unable to wipe the smile from my mouth.

“And you’re a cute everything.” She sags into me, her eyes closing as a sexy sigh escapes her and a rumbling groan vibrates in my chest. Her body is now plastered to mine. “Maybe I can just dance on your pole.” She giggles.

I snort and shake my head, lifting a hand to cup her jaw. “How about I put you to bed and we continue this conversation tomorrow when we both have clear heads?”

“Hmmm . . . bed. That’s a brilliant idea.”

“Nuh-uh. You in your bed and me in mine, baby.”

Alex pouts at that, and fuck, if it’s not making her more irresistible. “Okay. If you insist.”

Chuckling, I nod and gently hold her shoulders steady as I slowly step away. “Time to go to your room.”

“Okay.”

“You’re very agreeable tonight.”

“And you’re very . . . I’m tired.”

I bite back a grin as I slide a hand down her arm and lace my fingers with hers. “Sleep time, baby.”

“Okay. Roomie.”

I walk backward, leading her down the hallway.

“Still want to dance for you,” she murmurs.

“You can do that anytime you like.”

“Now?”

“Anytime other than now. Cut me some slack, Alex. I’m trying to be a gentleman, and you’re making it very hard.”

She giggles. “Something was anyway.”
