Unexpected is a single dad romance I couldn't stop reading. Love sprouting from a marriage of convenience is one of my favorite tropes and Jana Richards has written a beautiful romance. Unexpected is filled with tender moments, emotional tension, characters you'll want to hug the stuffing out of, and a romance to melt your heart. The plot moves at a great pace. There are some very tense scenes with had me reading late into the night. Fans of heartfelt romance will simply adore Unexpected. Keep tissues handy. I can't recommend this book enough. Highly recommend!
