Book Review: Excellent
Summary: 5 Stars
In Seattle, single mom Kerri Sullivan knows she is running out of time for her nine year old son Cody is slowly dying from Gilliar's Disease. Her only hope to save her offspring is the mercy and money of Nathan King, whose son died of that illness six years ago as researcher Dr. Abram Wallace was on the verge of a breakthrough in his lab before the fire destroyed his workplace. She has taken work at the Grill where King eats although she knows the rumors that he lost his heart when his son died. She confronts him when he comes for lunch and he tells her to leave; she is fired and escorted out with no success at obtaining his financial backing of Wallace.
Based on a tip from his chauffeur Tim, her new plan is to pretend to the media that King cares and is putting up the money. Nathan fumes as he prefers controlling his publicity, but has little choice if he does not want the wrath of motherhood that could impact business. However, though feeling trapped he has a price to charge this ferocious single mom.
This is five tissue box tear jerker that will leave the audience weeping throughout hoping for a miracle. The underlying theme is medical miracles need funding to help achieve them. Readers will admire the lead female character as she refuses to give up while much of the support cast like Abram's long time assistant Linda and the townsfolk of Songwood believe in him. With a strong caring support cast, fans will answer Al Michaels' "Do you believe in miracles?" in the affirmative when Susan Mallory is the inspirer.

Summary: 4 Stars
All Kerry Sullivan needs for her little boy is a miracle, and the going price is fifteen million dollars more than she can afford. Because Nathan King, the billionaire who has come to her town for a massive construction project's, son died of the same extremely rare disease that is killing Cody, she hopes he will fund the research that could save him. However, he no longer cares if the monstrous thing is defeated; his son is gone. All Kerry accomplishes is losing her job, but she won't give up. After releasing a false press release saying that Nathan agreed, she puts him in a dilema. His solution? Do what she wants, but get a return on his investment. He now owns her time whenever he needs it. Since his public image is not good, she's going to boost it. Neither of them counted on falling in love, but both have damaged hearts and fear to be happy again. Besides, Kerry's first priority is her son; Nathan's is business, and his sister is trying to destroy that, along with herself. Maybe another miracle is needed.
**** This is a marvelous story that will keep you in suspense and make you feel wonderful. Watching all the miracles God works through the people who need them is heart-warming. What a fantastic way to start the year. ****

Book Review: Ultimately, touching
Summary: 5 Stars
ACCIDENTALLY YOURS is a story about love: About a mother's love, about romantic love, about the redemptive power of love.
Though the premise seems strained at first -- a young child with a painful, terminal disease and the mother who will do anything to save him -- author Susan Mallery makes her story work.
Kerri Sullivan is undeterred in her quest to find a solution for her son's illness. She is brave, she is funny, she is imaginative. Though the illness in the novel is ficticious, it could stand for any number of deadly childhood conditions.
In the process of Kerri's research, she learns of a local billionaire whose own child had died of the same condition. With difficulty and connivance, she arranges to meet him, thinking that he is the most likely candidate to fund the research for a cure.
He, however, is bitter about his son's death and not at all interested in anyone else's suffering.
So here's a woman with no time to love and a man who's too scarred to love. Of course, they do fall in love.
Despite how sad this description may be, ACCIDENTALLY YOURS actually is a humorous, clever book. Face-paced and touching, too. Susan Mallery is to be complimented.
Book Review: A tender, wonderful, moving, fun and sexy book!
Summary: 5 Stars
This book actually knocked me sideways I was so taken with it! When I read Susan's comments on how the book came to be, I thought I'm not going to enjoy it.....A super mom who dresses up like Wonder Woman because her son has a terminal disease and she thinks if he believes she has super powers he will not die?
Let me tell you like 22 others have on Amazon, this is an incredible story, it is funny, it's so moving at times you're heart will ache. On top of everything else, it's steamy and sexy as well.
You will adore Kerri, her drive to find a cure for her son's disease, how she gets the funds to re-open the clinic where scientists are very close in finding the cure. And Kerri's son Cory will melt your heart.
Cynical billionaire Nathan King, you'll want him for yourself, he's that kind of driven and determined man who has lost so much, who does not believe in love until he falls under Kerri's spell. Their love story is simply beautiful!
Susan Mallery amazes me each time I read one of her books. She always delivers fun, fascinating and exceptional stories and Accidentally Yours is a book I will long remember.
