My research trip to do list: study ruins, take notes. Try not to drool over my insanely hot professor.
Then Professor Vale and I stumble on an ancient altar in the forest.
There’s chanting.
There’s glowing.
There’s… accidental marriage. It’s magical and apparently legally binding according to local laws.
Yep. We’re bonded. Spiritually, magically, and, um. Very, very intimately.
Now we can’t stop thinking about each other.
Or touching each other. Or sneaking off into the forest to “research” each other under the stars.
It’s fine. Everything’s fine. Except that Rowan wants to break the bond…and I don’t.
Accidentally Marrying the Professor is a spicy instalove novella with ancient magic, zero angst, a geek in the streets/freak in the sheets professor, one sweet grad student, and a magical marriage that insists on being consummated, over and over again.
Review:
Don’t you just hate it when you find yourself accidentally, magically married to your super hot professor? So darn inconvenient 😉
Ms Archer kicks off the Accidentally Marrying multi-author series with a bang (OK, maybe it’s more than one bang) with Accidentally Marrying the Professor. It might be hard to be “accidentally married,” you say? Not when there’s an ancient spell involved!
Maybe reading an unfamiliar spell while standing at an ancient altar with the student you’re low key obsessed with but trying to hide it is a bad idea.
Or maybe it’s the best idea ever, given how it all turns out in the end… 😉
Accidentally Marrying the Professor was a fun read–it’s mildly slow burn (but not really; it’s less than 100 pages total) since they try for a millisecond or two to *not* consummate things in the hopes that the spell can be reversed (but we all know that was never going to happen, right?) but once they give up on that idea things escalate quickly, as we knew they would.
Zero complaints here. I’m always a big fan of the “there’s only one bed” trope, and it does its own magic nicely here 🙂
I enjoyed the archaeology aspect (is it wrong to believe that Norah wrote “love you” on her eyelids at least once before a lecture? It’s totally part of my headcanon now) and the hint of magic here–reminiscent of the author’s Unhinged Holidays series, which I’m not at mad about. I can’t wait to see what Ms Archer brings us next, and I look forward to seeing how her fellow authors also manage to get their MCs “accidentally married.”
