Synopsis:
Ever had one of those days? Alina Lyons is having one. Everything keeps falling apart and going wrong. Just when she thinks it couldn't get worse, it does. After a case of mistaken identity and a broken heart, she finds herself questioning the things she thought she knew. She wonders who she can turn to or trust anymore.
An unlikely bond with her former best friend's ex, Ryan Wilcox, sends her life in a new direction. He offers her a place to stay while she gets her life back on track. His friendship is exactly what she's been missing—what she's been needing. Alina's never felt this alive. As time goes by, the dynamic of their relationship becomes more than either of them expected. A few innocent kisses could lead them in a new direction, but are they prepared for what's on the other side?
Only one way to find out.

Favorite Quotes:
“I’ve met my
quota of bad things for the day. It’s
probably best for me to avoid leaving the house at this point.”
“There is
something about sharing a sunset with someone you care about. It’s profoundly spiritual, as if it connects
you to that person in a way nothing else can.
It may have only lasted a brief moment in the entire span of our lives,
but it’s something I’ll always carry with me no matter what happens tomorrow.”
“I want to
hold this moment, with her hair braided and her blues eyes entranced. I want to tuck it into my pocket and pull it
out whenever I need a fix.”
“It is entirely
your fault for leaving him to fend the ladies off by himself. I had to work my masterful powers of awesome
to save the lad from the advances of promiscuous women.”
“There’s a
pitter-patter in my chest as if I’m in high school and talking to my first
crush. Her words hit me deep, the impact
of them leaving an imprint on the walls of my heart.”
“Love makes
you vulnerable and invincible at the same time; true love, makes you soar.”
My Review:
Unexpected is an excellent title for this book, as
it was an unexpected pleasure to read this loving and tender romance with a sweet
and caring young man being all supportive and patient with a stunned young
woman he barely knows, but is having an inordinate amount of bad luck. I found Ms. Avalon’s writing to be refreshing,
humorous, entertaining, and thoughtful, with just enough delightfully sensual
teases and steamy scenes sprinkled throughout to keep my heart and respiration
rates up. I have added her entire
listing to my TBR and look forward to reading more of her work.
