Book Review: Unexpected by Dulaney-Glen

Grace is a single mom of a 12 year old boy and owner of a successful record label in Nashville. She is wound a little too tight and according to her best friend Nina she is an "uptight tootie." Ian is young and handsome and just moved to Nashville with his friends: the band members of Queen City. He s drawn to Grace the minute he sees her at the gas station. Who knew the beautiful stranger was also his new boss?

The attraction between Grace and Ian is so strong and they spend weeks just talking and getting to know each other. The more she learns about Ian, the more she falls. And her walls are falling with her. Ian has never felt this way before and is he scared that Grace will break his heart.

Unexpected, starts off with a prologue in the future showing an absolutely shattered Ian. All I was thinking was "what the hell did she do to him?!" As we go back and start at their beginning, we are part of a sweet and special friendship and love. Ian might be six years younger at 22, but he acts much more mature.

Just as their relationship blossoms and Ian even starts bonding with her son, Milo, there is a huge twist that I did not see coming till the last minute. It changes everything and shatters the tentative love they have started. But Grace refuses to give up on them. The only question is, has Ian already let go?
