Our Unexpected Hope by Michelle Sullivan was amazing and I couldn’t put it down. I don’t know what it is about Ms. Sullivan’s books, but I have yet to make it through one without shedding some tears. In this one there were both tears of sadness and happiness.
Quinn and Noah have an an incredible story. Love at first sight and then overcoming of the obstacles that they face. Not many people would handle everything as well as they did period but to be as young as they are and still come through together and stronger was nice.
Obviously this isn’t the first book I have read by her but i have loved each of them for different reasons. I look forward to reading many more books by this talented author.

5 out of 5 stars
Our unexpected hope written by Michelle Sullivan is an awesome read and a continuous to our next chapter where we met Quinn, Karalyn and Dex were amazing and still strong willed. I had so many different emotions reading this book I laughed cried and I was also pissed at what the main characters had to go through, but they were strong and made it.
Seeing the love that Quinn’s parents have for one another she is a hopeless romantic. She hope’s that she could someday find a love like that for herself. What she found with Noah was even better than she ever dreamed possible.
Noah has never known love growing up with the feeling of being unwanted. Shuffled from home to home in his youth, adulthood gave him the freedom to make something of himself. He had all he could ever want until Quinn walked into his life and changed everything.
I highly recommend this book so join Quinn and Noah on their journey of love, loss and the most unexpected gift they never saw coming.

Our Unexpected Hope by Michelle Sullivan is a contemporary romance. This book can be read as a standalone but if you read Our Next Chapter, you will be introduced to Quinn.
Quinn has always wanted a love like her parents. It’s why she’s never had a boyfriend. She won’t settle. Then she meets Noah. It feels like she’s known Noah her entire life and she just knows it’s right.
Noah didn’t have the type of family Quinn had so he’s never seen true love but he knows he’s drawn to Quinn and he doesn’t want to question it. With such different upbringings, there is bound to be differences in opinion but how they get through it will really tell the strength of their love. Will they be able to get passed all their barriers?
I couldn’t put this book down once I started it. I had to find out what happened. I was on an emotional rollercoaster and I didn’t want it to stop. The characters were amazing and you really get sucked into their world. I felt so bad for Noah and not having a family. I could feel his sadness over it. I can’t say enough great things about this book!! You won’t be disappointed!
Our Unexpected Hope is from author Michelle Sullivan. This is my second read from this author and I was so glad that I got to experience her writing style and incredible characters again. These books are stand-alone but there are some characters that are mentioned in this read that play pivotal parts in the first book Our Next a chapter. So I think for the best experience to read them together just to get a better insight into certain characters backgrounds.
Noah and Quinn had an amazing connection from the get-go. It was quite a quick progression of their relationship but it was a connection that blended well and worked out for the best in the end. Both of these characters had depth, they are lovable and relatable and I enjoyed reading their journey from the get-go.
This book takes us on an up and down rollercoaster of emotions from start till finish. You are either smiling, laughing, crying, sad, angry and even excitement. You never get bored while reading this book and there is always something going on. I was totally captivated and entranced from the first page.
After another incredible read from this author, I guarantee she will become one of my go-to authors. This is an incredible read that I highly recommend to others to read! Don’t miss it!
Our Unexpected Hope by Michelle Sullivan is every girls dream. Or at least it’s my dream. To find someone who loves you so much, and wants nothing but you and to make you happy. This story is a stand-alone but there is a book Our Next Chapter which is the story of Quinn’s parents that you should absolutely read. I was insanely jealous of Noah and Quinn’s relationship. The love they had for each other was so obvious it practically screamed it from the rooftops on page. The tragedy that they went through broke my heart, I cried. I have experienced their pain and I wish that on no one. I adored Quinn’s hopelessly romantic attitude toward life and how strong she was and how she had hope that things would be better. Though I have not experienced the whole “when you know, you know” situation, I was thrilled that they found theirs. Noah was the epitome of gentleman and he was just absolutely drool worthy and swoon worthy. I appreciated Michelle’s writing style, how her characters swore and loved everything whole heartily. This was truly the best happily ever after story.
Our Unexpected Hope by Michelle Sullivan a four-star read you can only hope to read. What a compelling and emotional read, this was such a good read in the true style by this author you will adore the characters. Quinn was a great person, she just had something about her and when you see where she comes from it becomes clear why she was such a great character. With Noah for some reason it took longer to get warm to him, but I adored him in the end. Overall this was a great story and one you will need to read.

Our Unexpected Hope is an awesome read by Michelle Sullivan. This book will pull on your heart strings for sure and I really do recommend that its read. Our Unexpected Hope centres around Quinn and Noah. Quinn helps her father run the photography company and although she has never really been in love she knows she wants the same love her mum and dad have for each other. Then we have Noah, he is head chef at the restaurant he works at. Noah is mesmerized some what by Quinn and wants to know everything there is to know about Quinn. Noah has the most beautiful heart and it just shows through the words on the page. This book is so well written it’s another occasion where you feel you actually know the characters in the book. This book just seems to flow from the first page to the last, and I can tell you in will have you on an emotional roller coaster but one well worth being on.
When I read the prologue for this book I thought I had already read it. There was something so familiar about it and then I realized that this is based on the daughter from “Our Next Chapter”. I was so happy.
This is a quick and delightful story. It moves fast so pay attention or you might miss some the romance. This is a book that has no angst, lots of goodness and a few tears.
There is not one bad thing I can say about this story and I don’t want to give anything away so I’m just going to advise you to read “Our Next Chapter” before “Out Unexpected Hope” you will love them both.

This is not my first read by this author so I knew to be prepared for nothing to get done until I finished this book and my goodness what a book.
My emotions were everywhere and im still trying to make them make sense again!
Quinn and Noah may have opposite upbringing but knew they were destined from the start, amazing read once again.
Our Unexpected Hope is a hugely entertaining novel by Michelle Sullivan that kept me riveted for hours. It was highly emotional and I don’t know a couple that managed to adapt to the life changing situations the way they did with the many struggles they had to endure.
Quinn meets Noah and that is the end of it. There is no one else for her. Him either. It was love at first sight. Their journey was a whirlwind and their lives were chaos and bedlam, but one thing remained steady, strong and unbreakable. Their bone deep love for each other. A love like theirs, burning with intensity and endlessness, is enviable and rare.
Michelle Sullivan wrote a beautifully created tale of never ending love. A love that withstands every test thrown at them, amd comes out the other side stronger and deeper that ever before. 5 stars
Our Unexpected Hope is an amazing and heart-warming contemporary romance by Michelle Sullivan. It is not my first encounter with this writer and as I absolutely loved her Sunset after the Storm, I knew I had to pick up Our Unexpected Hope. I thought that I knew what to expect but that was not the case … she went beyond anything I had imagined and the ending … you leave me in awe.
Our Unexpected Hope is the story of Quinn and Noah … the story batters at you, it takes you to highs and then drops you to lows and you bawl your eyes out and you sigh in content and you feel, so much, that at times you feel that you cannot breathe …
Quinn is the daughter of Dez and Karalyn (apparently their story was told in ‘Our Next Chapter’ so I need to go and pick that one up next!) and Noah has had no one in his corner, no one loving him … They are a great couple and you simply cannot do less than root for them … I loved how realistic the story was, it had its highs and its lows and it just felt so real …
I will leave you with this: “Hope. A four-letter word I never thought would be the most important four-letter word in my life. I always had hope in my life.”
WOW!! What a whirlwind! I picked up “Our Unexpected Hope” today and couldn’t put it down until I was done! Quinn is in her early twenties and helps her dad run their photography company. She has never had a real relationship, but knows exactly what she wants in life after seeing her how in love her parents are. Noah is the head chef of a restaurant that Quinn frequents and has gazed from afar until she comes in for a photo shoot and he changes their lives forever. Their whirlwind romance is a beautiful read. The time together might be short, but the time spent is quality time. I can’t give away any details, but these two really get put through it! I nearly cried about four times, and I NEVER cry when I read! If you want a sweet but serious romance, this is the book for you! Just have the tissues ready! I really loved the journey these two went on to get to the end, again no details, but it’s very fitting. I give Michelle Sullivan’s “Our Unexpected Hope” five teary eyed stars!
“Hope- a simple four-letter word that means having a feeling of expectation or desire for a certain thing to happen. Hope is a word I have used often in my life.”
Well Michelle Sullivan has certainly brought the all the feels to the surface again with this new adult contemporary romance novel. I adored it! Now I have previously read “Our Next Chapter” which isn’t necessarily a requirement to read this one, but it does help to set up the scene of sorts and does add the dimension to the story that isn’t there if you haven’t read it. Both are wonderful novels though so, why not?
With Unexpected Hope though we get the story of Quinn, who is the daughter of Karalyn and Dez, who are the characters from “Our Next Chapter”, and Noah. I loved these two. They were honestly a great couple to follow. Things were realistic with them, never really being flawless, but not too awful in the sense that it wasn’t believable either. I just loved it and I loved how they overcame things or either worked through them. I completely broke when they did, and found myself laughing when they did as well. This was one of those stories you just find yourself drifting off into and not even realizing you are so far removed from things until it is the very last words and you are sad because you want more! This one is definitely a re-read lister! Thanks for a great read Ms. Sullivan.
“Hope. A four-letter word I never thought would be the most important four-letter word in my life. I always had hope in my life.”

“I will never settle for any ordinary man just to have someone.”
This is such a full hearted, love at first sight, quick read (because you can’t put it down). You will find yourself laughing, crying, hoping and praying throughout this book.
In the beginning some events happened a little fast for me, but for these characters it worked. As the story progresses the deep emotional experiences happen and you will find yourself wondering how you would handle these experiences. They will either make or break a relationship.
“I have spent my entire life fighting for everything I have while being kicked around like a piece of trash…My hope has now become my reality.”
