About the Book



"A two-night-stand doesn't go exactly as expected in Lizzie Blake's Best Mistake, a sparkling romantic comedy by Mazey Eddings..."--



Book Synopsis



Mazey Eddings, 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 and 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, obviously. He's never going to make that mistake again.

Through a series of mishaps, totally "platonic" single bed sharing, and an underground erotic baking scheme, Lizzie and Rake learn that even the biggest mistakes can have the most beautiful consequences.

*USA Today bestselling author Evie Dunmore



Review Quotes




Praise for A Brush with Love

Eddings' debut is equal parts hilarious and heart-wrenching...A poignant debut that will put a smile on your face. --Kirkus Reviews

"An adorable love story. A Brush with Love blends sweetness, breathless romance, and moments of striking vulnerability." --Helen Hoang, USA Today bestselling author of The Kiss Quotient

A Brush with Love reads the way young love feels. Mazey Eddings stole my heart with this laugh out loud funny, almost unbearably cute debut (and she made me care about dentistry)." --Rosie Danan, bestselling author of The Intimacy Experiment

"I'm obsessed with this book, and I fully intend to never stop yelling about it. With a shimmering voice and razor-sharp wit, Mazey Eddings has crafted a contemporary romance masterpiece that made me want to hug my dentist. There is an extraordinary amount of empathy in these pages: Harper and Dan are so lovably flawed, and Harper's mental health journey landed right in the center of my heart. The most intoxicating slow burn I've read in ages." --Rachel Lynn Solomon, author of The Ex Talk

Harper and Dan have my whole heart. I love everything about this book, from their adorable meet cute to their unconventional first date, to the two of them working through their very real--and therefore not always pretty--issues. Dan is a soft, swoony hero, Harper is a relatable heroine who struggles with anxiety, and every page of the way I was rooting so hard for them to find their happily ever after. A Brush with Love is funny and cute while also exploring serious topics, powerfully underscoring the truth that relationships require work, and that happy endings are for everyone. --Sarah Hogle, author of You Deserve Each Other

Tenderly written and oh-so-sexy, A Brush with Love brims with emotional depth, whip-smart banter, and sizzling chemistry. This OwnVoices romantic comedy completely stole my heart." --Chloe Liese, author of Only When It's Us

I honestly don’t know where to start with this review other than to say this is more than a five star read for me. What I love about Mazey Eddings’s writing is the way she can be super versatile. She can give us spicy, romantic, and heart wrenching within the course of a few hundred pages. That paired with the neurodiverse representation she gives us is just incredible. When it came to this book I enjoyed every moment of it. I fell in love with Lizzie in A Brush With Love and after reading her story I realized it was probably because I felt connected to her character. A lot of struggles she faces are what I have been dealing with my entire life, and this book and character made me realize I’m not alone in those struggles. But Lizzie is also a character who just brings me joy. She’s sassy, spunky, and confident in her sexuality (a favorite quality in my female MCs). She also faced her challenges and all I wanted to do was protect her, but she protected herself when needed. Also Rake is an amazing love interest overall, even if he had some learning to do. I’m telling you, you will fall in love with him, get angry with him, and fall all over again. Oh and I loved Eddings infusing the story with nods to romance books. And as a romance reader I fangirled every time one of these popped up. Plus she chose some of my favorite tropes;forced proximity, one bed, pregnancy. So I was just smitten with this story almost immediately. I just loved this book more than I can accurately express with words. I finally found a character who I connected with on so many levels. In fact this book made me feel seen and I can not stop tearing up every time I think about it. So thank you Mazey and ST. Martins press for bringing this book into my life.

Mazey Eddings delivers a smart, witty story once again. Lizzie is such an honest character. Her personality dances off the page, and it was so refreshing to see a strong MC with ADHD struggle, but also find her worth. I loved Rake as well, he was such a simp (as he should be) and just wanted to do right by Lizzie. Eddings takes a trope that isn’t the most popular and makes it something unputdownable.
