Trapped for decades, a powerful god seeks freedom . . . and revenge. But the only thing that can save him is the passion of a woman's touch . . . Emma Keane is your average city girl trying to get a date. There's just one thing holding her back: the disembodied male voice speaking to her through her mind. Sound kind of crazy? Maybe. But crazy turns downright deadly when the voice persuades her to travel to the wilds of the Mayan jungle. There she will free his body-his incredibly hot, muscled, naked body. Humans are so frail, so undisciplined, so susceptible to love. And when this ancient being connects with Emma, the feelings she sparks drive him utterly mad. Protective, keep-her-close, never-let-her-go kind of mad. Which might not be such a bad thing because from the moment the beautiful, passionate Emma unshackles his body, they are hunted at every turn. Now he'll have to do everything in his power to keep her safe. But will it be enough?… (meer)

    Touched by an Alien door Gini Koch (nessreader)
    nessreader: Both books annoyed me in the same way but I think that if Koch's book worked for you, then so would the other. Shoe-obsessed pinkwearing heroine (cos all girlz are fascinated by shoes amIright) meets alpha paranormal thingie. They spat endlessly and she whines - which shows she's sensitive and fragile, the word feisty is used un-ironically, and also the sex scenes are supposed to be funny (neither funny nor sexy, so a double fail IMO.) Having said all this, Koch is dead popular so this is a subjective take. If you liked Koch, give Pamfiloff a go.… (meer)

Received in ebook format from www.netgalley.com. Read using kindle software on an ipad. Presentation of book is decent and easy to read, though the change to smaller font as guy was talking to Emma in her head took a little getting used to (small font? Could it have been in italics or simply a different font? Smaller looks like a formatting issue. Anyway minor point that didn't distract from the story overall)

Writer says in the introduction that she hopes she makes us laugh, which gives me the permission to say this is a really silly book, but in a good way.

Emma has been hearing voices, and a very specific voice, in her head since she was a kid. After a car crash leaves her in a coma for months she takes a trick down to Mexico to free the man in her head from the trap he's Benin since the 1940s. She does, he's huge and georgeous, guy then has to work out not only who trapped him but why and where the other gods are. Meanwhile the baddies are tracking Emma down to use her uniqueness to their own ends.

Whilst this is silly, especially the first part, underneath there is a decent story reasonably constructed, with plenty of exotic and lavish locations. Not quite those who prefer traditional romances - several scenes of Emma checking out Guy's equipment as he walks around naked, and there are mild levels of swearing

Twenty-two-year-old Emma Keane is just your average city girl trying to get a date. She's a petite and bubbly redhead who's always up for having a little fun. There's just one tiny snag holding her back from finding the perfect guy. And that would be...well...'Guy': the disembodied male voice speaking to her in her mind.

Sound kind of crazy? Probably. But crazy turns downright deadly when the voice persuades Emma to travel deep into the Mayan jungle. There she will be able to free him from the prison where he has been trapped for the past seven decades.

Humans are so vulnerable, so undisciplined, so susceptible to their emotions - particularly love. He must have spent too much time among human-kind before his imprisonment, because it certainly seems that many of their vulnerabilities have begun to alter his personality. That must be the only reason why from the first moment this ancient being connects with Emma, the feelings she sparks drive him utterly mad. Never before has he felt such a protective, keep-her-close, never-let-her-go kind of madness for one particular woman.

Actually, that might not be such a bad idea, because from the moment the beautiful, passionate Emma unshackles his body, they are hunted at every turn. Now he'll have to do everything in his considerable power to keep her safe. But will that be enough? Honestly, if he wasn't already immortal, Emma Keane would quite literally be the death of him!

This is the first book by Mimi Jean Pamfiloff that I've ever read. I usually enjoy reading paranormal romances - especially stories that draw from cultural myths. In my opinion, this was a thoroughly engaging story - filled with a number of likable characters - along with several characters who I felt quite comfortable hating from their introduction, as well. The plot was thrilling and action-packed, and held my attention until the very end.

I give Accidentally in Love With...A God? an A+! and look forward to reading the next book in the series sometime very soon. I'm actually quite curious to see how this story will continue; and how each subsequent book will incorporate the world that Ms. Pamfiloff has created with this series. ( )
