Synopsis
Harrison Davenport is my best friend’s elusive, wealthy, older boss.
A man seemingly worlds apart from me… and yet, somehow, our worlds collide.
When I lock eyes with the gorgeous man across the room, butterflies ignite my insides.
We flirt with our hurried glances and sneaky smirks, and then, to my surprise, I slip away after sharing only my name.
A week later, through my gilded mask, those familiar electric eyes have me captivated, and this time, we exchange more than names.
The third time we meet, it’s on the dance floor of a nightclub.
Words clash, accusations fly, and in a whirlwind of temptation, I spend an unforgettable night with him… knowing it’s all he could give.
Against the odds, I see him again one month later—this time, I’m teaching his daughter how to bake.
Is it coincidence or the universe’s way of pushing us together?
Despite our connection, he holds me at arm's length, too protective of his daughter and family bond.
Until one day, the tension snaps, and we finally give in to the unexpected pull between us.
Review
ARC received in exchange for an honest review.
Mr. Unexpected was unexpected.
Harrison alothough has that dominating trait, it's the right amount of dominating.
ALSO!! 38 isn't that old! He's a spring chicken!
I liked the story. The flow. The plot. for 99% of the book I had no issues with it. I had that excited feeling when I finished work and could crawl in to bed to read some more of their story, however... towards the end, I felt like the story was beiong prolonged more than it needed to be....
Although.... that twist was also extrememly unexpected!
And pet names... the older I get, pet names have become and ICK and this, is completely a ME thing. Not the books issue or an author issue. It's me, I'm the drama. The use in life and in books of calling people "baby" grates me. It's a generic... "I've called all partners this, so I don't confuse their names,"....pet name.
Likewise, if Jules called Claud, "my sugar plum," one more time.... I'd have.... I don't know what i'd do.
Other than that, the whole story was lovely. Jules and Harrison meet on seperate occasions, unintentionally.... their relationship blossoming and growing stronger and although their were issues in their life they grew from it. They didn't really fall out. They didn't have one of those crumbling stories where their life was destroyed because of an incident. They may have taken time apart, but they knew they were both IT for each other. Something refreshing in a book.
