Book Excerpt:
"Mazey Eddings, the author of the "witty, fast-paced rom-com"* A Brush with Love, mixes passion and humor to create a luscious love story between two people stumbling through life and learning to open their hearts in Lizzie Blake's Best Mistake.
Lizzie has made endless mistakes. Kitchen fires, pyramid schemes, bangs (of the hair and human variety), you name it, she's done it… and made a mess of it too. One mistake she's never made is letting anyone get closer to her than a single hook-up. But after losing yet another bakery job due to her uncontrolled ADHD, she breaks her cardinal rule and has a two-night stand that changes everything.
Once burned, twice shy, Rake has given up on relationships. And feelings. And any form of intimacy, for that matter. Yet something about charming, chaotic Lizzie has him lowering his guard. For two nights, that is. Then it's back home to Australia, far away from the pesky feelings Lizzie pulls from him. But when Lizzie tells him she's got an unexpected bun in the oven, he'll do whatever it takes to be a part of his child's life… except be emotionally vulnerable. He's never going to make that mistake again.
Lizzie and Rake learn that even the biggest mistakes can have the most beautiful consequences through a series of mishaps, totally "platonic" single bed sharing, and an underground erotic baking scheme."

Review:
"Lizzie Blake's Best Mistake" by Mazey Eddings
My Assessment:
'Lizzie Blakes's Best Mistake' was interesting in how it finally turned out for her. Meeting the Australian, Rake put the icing on the cake for Lizzie. Suffering from mental health issues, ADHD wasn't good for Lizzie, especially the way her parents and brother had treated her. However, having her three friends there for her made her life in some way terrible. And meeting Rake, who was there for Lizzie through the thick and the thin, helped. Oh, yes, there was much chemistry between these two...Lizzie and Rafe. The read was good in the way this author brought out Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity disorder. As the story continues, the reader will see how well the story comes out, especially after Lizzie finds out something about herself. How will she handle all that lies before her?
What will happen when Rake comes back into the picture? Will he be there for Lizzie? To find out all of the answers to these questions and more, the reader must pick up this good read to see what happens next. This story will be one chaotic love story that one will not want to miss reading.
Thank you, Netgalley and St. Matin's Press, for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.
