Lizzie Blake's Best Mistake
"Mazey Eddings’s writing is authentic, emotional, and intensely romantic! To me, it’s like a Taylor Swift song in book form." - New York Times bestselling author Ali Hazelwood
Mazey Eddings 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.

I, like many other reviewers, admire the way ADHD was depicted in the storyline and in that sense felt very sympathetic to Lizzie as a character. I'm happy to see more books with neurodivergent characters.
Okay, here's the part I hated. Everything having to do with the pregnancy. It's utterly implausible that a brief fling from another part of the world would uproot his life entirely to be a part of his baby's life. I know we read books like this for the escapism aspect, but come on. This is just ridiculous and silly. I simply don't believe there's anyone out there selfless enough to make this big of a sacrifice for someone they barely know.
Also, I'm just going to say this. What kind of a name is Rake? I've never in my life met someone named that. It just makes the whole thing sillier. Why do romance novels do this? Stone Stonington or Ridge Ridgington or well, Rake. Just pick a name for him that doesn't make him sound like the star of some soap opera on tv.
Anyway, I tried with this book. I really did.
