Our Unexpected Hope by Michelle Sullivan is a wonderful contemporary romance that’s packed full of emotion, which is definitely something I have come to expect when reading one of Ms. Sullivan’s novels- my emotions will always get an absolute battering, and of course this story was no exception.
I loved ‘Our Next Chapter’, so I was excited to read this book to see how the characters, and storyline, evolve. Although this can be read as a standalone, it does kind of follow-on from our next chapter- so it would be advisable to read that book first, then embark on this read.
Quinn is the daughter of Karalyn and Dez, from ‘Our Next Chapter’- and I was so happy to finally get to know her, especially since her ‘being’ played such a pivotal part in the last book- so to see her relationship with her parents now(especially Dez, and if you read ‘Our Next Chapter you’ll know why this was so special for me), and then following her and Noah through all the highs and some lows, of their story, really was quite moving for me!
Quinn and Noah really are perfect for each other. I joined their cheer squad fairly early on in the story and was cheering them on the whole way. That’s not to say that this was a simple and straightforward journey for them- but I laughed, cried, and felt everything right alongside them. There were heart-aching details, tender, touching, spicy, and romantic moments- that all added up to make this book every bit as good as “Our Next Chapter”!
Another memorable story from Ms. Sullivan.
Thank you, Ms. Sullivan!

I recently read Our Next Chapter, the story of Quinn’s parents and when I learned that there would be a book dedicated to Quinn’s story I was honestly excited. While Our Next Chapter wasn’t about Quinn, I thought she was a secondary character that really helped make that story.
These books read well as stand alone books and the prologue gives you a brief, but sufficient background anyway so you don’t need to feel like these books should be read in a particular novel. I will say I am someone that enjoys seeing past characters reappear as secondary characters later so I was thankful to have read both books in the order I did.
As the storyline progressed I found Quinn and Noah’s love story to be sweet and wholesome but irritating in how fast things progressed, funny coming from someone that believes “when you know, you know.” I’m not sure when the switch happened for me, but I ended up really coming to appreciate their love story. The obstacles they faced were common for many couples and incredibly relatable but not something I read in many novels giving Our Unexpected Hope a really fresh feel for me.
Overall the book was very well written and full of pure emotion. I love the family dynamic between Quinn, her parents and even Noah and I love that Dez and Karalyn were so tightly woven into this story. I will definitely be keeping an eye out for more from Michelle Sullivan.

This book was awesome. This is the second book that i have read by this author and it did not let me down. It was heartbreakingly beautiful and it was one of those stories that i didn’t want to put down. Quinn and Noah are the main characters and i couldn’t help but love them. They had one of those relationships that started quickly and burned bright without the chance of flaming out. I also enjoyed some of the secondary characters, especially the parents. I laughed and laughed and at some points i cried. I really did love this book.
I cannot wait to read more by this author and i would absolutely recommend this to a friend!
Review by Anastasia D.
Our Unexpected Hope by Michelle Sullivan is a contemporary romance that takes you on an emotional roller coaster ride. Our Unexpected Hope tells the story of Quinn and Noah. Quinn is a strong woman who is caring, kind and beautiful. Noah is the head chef at a restaurant. Noah wants to find out more about Quinn. He know there is something special about her and wants to get to know her better and find out what is so special.
Our Unexpected Hope is another great book by Michelle Sullivan. Her writing pulls you in and you do not want to stop reading. It is engaging, descriptive and flows. Her characters are well developed and very believable. You feel the emotions that they go through and you are cheering them on. I highly recommend this book it is definitely worth reading!
O.M.G. This book has even more feels than book one! In order to read this book, you should really read book one, Our Next Chapter, it’s not absolutely necessary but will make the relationships throughout the story so much better. Quinn is the main character in this story. She is the daughter of Karalyn and Dez. Their story is book one.
Quinn and Dez’s relationship makes me sigh because who doesn’t love a good dad and daughter situation. And then I have to laugh out loud. and often! But the real love story is between Quinn and Noah! Holy Hotness those two sure know how to cause some serious steam!
Quinn and Noah start off hot and heavy and right from the start they feel their connection. Their connection is almost too good to be true, but they don’t fight it. They love it and each other. Their journey however is not all rainbows and roses.
Sullivan must love knowing she causes readers to cry. Actually, this story was very close to an ugly cry, but Sullivan reigned it in and created an unbelievable heart fulfilling story! I wish I could give this story more than 5 stars.
Our Unexpected Hope by Michelle Sullivan
This book put me through an emotional ringer!! The love between Noah and Quinn is so amazing and supportive and hot!! There is so much I want to say but I don’t want to give anything away. My heart broke for the struggles and loss they had to endure. Where a lot of couples would have split up because of what they went through especially at such a young age, it made them stronger. Noah grew up in foster care and never had a family so when he found Quinn he new that he wanted to build a family with her. Quinn has a wonderful family and she’s hoping to find the kind of love that her parents have. Quinn’s parents are very much in love, and she has a very close relationship with them and her little brother. I became completely emotionally invested while I was reading this wonderful, heartbreaking, full of hope story. I can’t say enough good things about this story it was so well written, I cried tears of sadness and tears of happiness. I felt as though I was right there with them. I highly recommend this book, it is truly a gem.
Another wonderful emotional rollercoaster from Michelle Sullivan! It has it all: true love, loss, drama. As has been my experience with her books before, Sullivan grabbed my attention on the first page. The characters were well developed. They had depth and were flawed and I connected with them emotionally. I was vested in the plot development from first page to last. I highly recommend this page turner – cheers to true love!

So I’ve gone and done it this time, I read this book before Our Next Chapter and although it was ok and I never felt lost I know that after what I read in this story that I had to go back and read the first and Im doing that right this second but wanted to get this review written before the stories got blurred and I mix up my thoughts.
I can not even put in words how much I love this author, this is not my first book by her and will absolutely not be the last, I went into this story without even reading the synopsis, that’s what happens when you read a book by an author on your favorites list, doesn’t matter what the book is about, her name is on it…I read it. This is why I read out of order. I highly recommend this story, the characters were awesome and the dialogue between them was perfect. Noah and Quinn had a relationship that started quite quickly and progressed quite fast but with everything in this story and how it was all written it all totally worked. There is so much more to this story than just a romance between two people. The “parents” were so amazing and I found myself laughing out loud at some of the comments a father had to hear his daughter say, and how he reacted was spot on!
This was such a beautiful story that brought me to tears more than once and even more than twice. The storyline was unique and the talent this author has had me finishing it in one sitting, it all flowed so smoothly and perfectly. Do yourself a favor, read these books..I highly recommend reading Our Next Chapter first..You do not have to but I promise you will wish you had because this whole story is just amazingly beautiful!! One of those books that truly deserves more than just five stars!
Loved It!!
Michelle Sullivan’s Our Unexpected Hope is a contemporary romance that centers on Quinn and Noah, their lives, including the highs and lows. This book read well and it was seamless in its transition from chapter to chapter, introduction of new characters and how they interested to other characters. I immediately liked Quinn’s character. Her thoughts, feelings and choices felt realistic, to include how she reacted to events that occur within her life. The dynamic between Quinn and her family was amazing, well done and brilliant. Moving on to Noah, his character was magnetic, something drawing you straight to him, so you can imagine the appeal that he puts off without trying. This story was an emotional read and Michelle Sullivan showcases her talent in the way she had the characters’ handle the events, choices and aftermath from the decisions made. This is a story I took pleasure in reading, one that touched me emotionally, and that I highly recommend.
I loved this book! I never hesitate to read one of this author’s books. Each one has a thought out meaning that is heartbreaking and loving at the same time. This is one of my favorites, I couldn’t put it down until the end. A story about love at first sight and the life struggles that come with it. I love the characters Noah and Quinn. I loved their instant attraction and their strong bond. I highly recommend you read their story, you won’t regret it!

Every time I pick up a book by this author I know that I am going to be in for a read that I cannot put down and I was proved right yet again. Michelle Sullivan has a way of writing that captures your attention from the very beginning, she brings her characters to life in a way that they feel real almost if you are there living their journey with them. My heart literally broke for Noah, to grow up the way he did must have been awful – no child should grow up without knowing what it is like to be loved unconditionally and it makes me so sad that this happens. Quinn’s upbringing was the complete opposite to Noah but when they met they just fit, they were perfect for each other. I know to expect a few emotional moments from this author and this book certainly had a few of them in fact I feel emotional just thinking back on what I have read.
I truly loved this story; from beginning to end I was in love with everything about it. I wish I could give it more than 5 stars and it absolutely is one of my favourite reads from 2018! I highly recommend you one click this book today – you won’t regret it!
Our Unexpected Hope by Michelle Sullivan is a story that will take your emotions on a rollercoaster ride.
Quinn believes in true love. How couldn’t she when her parents show her each and every day what it is. And she knows that she wants it for herself. She knows that she will feel it when she meets the one.
Noah, on the other hand, hasn’t ever really experienced the love of a family. He doesn’t have the strong belief in true love. However he does know that he wants to get to know Quinn more.
With their different views their journey will be anything but easy. Will they be able to find their way in the end?
With this book you certainly feel all the emotions – from sadness to happiness and everything in between. Noah and Quinn are two characters that have you fully believing in them and their story. It had you following their journey so close. I liked that the author managed to find a way for them both to capture my heart in completely different ways to each other. This was well written and a great story to read.

The story Our Unexpected Hope by Michelle Sullivan is a contemporary romance book. It is a story that I loved reading and I didn’t want to put down until I had finished the last page. It draws you in from the very beginning and I was hooked. It is a story that takes you on an emotional journey and I found myself believing in true love and soulmates. It is a book that is both heartbreaking and heartwarming. It had my emotions going up and down as I felt my way through. I loved reading about Quinn and Noah. Quinn is a woman who is a romantic. She is beautiful, kind, and loving. She is sure that when the right man comes along that she will be able to tell he is the one. She has found herself very attracted to Noah. Noah is the head chef for a restaurant. Something he is proud of. Noah has never really felt the love of a family to call his own. He, however, knows that Quinn is someone special and wants to get to know her. This story/journey is a beautiful one. Life sometimes hands you the unexpected. I grew to love both Quinn and Noah with each chapter that I read. They are both amazing characters that you can root for and want them to be happy. This is a book that had me with a smile on my face and also tears in my eyes. It is one of those stories that stays with you and I found myself thinking about long after I had finished. It is a book that you will not want to miss out on and one I highly recommend reading.
Our Unexpected Hope was a great 5 star read. This follows “Our Next Chapter” which is the story of Quinn’s parents. I was so excited to get my hands on this book and I was pulled right in.
Quinn has always wanted what her parents had, seeing how happy they were once they reconnected made her hope for the same thing one day.
While doing her first photo shoot she meets Noah, he is the head chef at the restaurant the shoot is at. She doesn’t realize it but it’s not the first time Noah has seen her. Noah was mesmerized by her when he saw her having dinner at the restaurant and knew he had to meet her. Being in a relationship has always been far from his mind due to his past, until now.
Tonight is the night that will change my life forever because it’s the night I fell in love with an angel – Noah
I loved this book, we see these two go through different things in their relationship. They share a lot of firsts and have some hurdles as well. I had several emotional moments and LOL moments, I loved the things Quinn would say to freak her father out. These two have such a great connection. Michelle Sullivan does a great job with her writing, you feel everything that the characters do and so much more. If you’re looking for a great read with wonderful characters this is a read for you. I suggest reading “Our Next Chapter” first however this can be read as a standalone.

Ready to dive into a romance read that’ll take you on an emotional roller coaster ride? Look no further Our Unexpected Hope is the book for you! I have previously read other novels from Michelle Sullivan, so I knew what I was getting into, yet I still found myself an emotional wreck as I followed along with Noah and Quinn. Their story is one of a whirlwind romance with so many heartbreaking moments and bumps along the way. From the beginning I felt invested in their relationship and I’m pleasantly surprised with how it all played out. I’m a huge fan of how Michelle tells the story in both main characters POV, it feels as if no detail is left out and that I’m right alongside them during their journey.
I would recommend this book and author to anyone looking for their next romance read!
Quinn is a hopeless romantic. Seeing the love that her parents have for one another, she hoped that she could someday find a love like that for herself. What she found with Noah was even better than she ever dreamed possible.

Together, they were something wonderful. However, not all love stories are without the ultimate heartbreak.

5/5 Stars
I have read several books by Michelle in the past. And each one is entertaining and wonderful in their own way. But they do have one thing in common… once you start reading the, you will not be able to put it down!!
This one is no different , I finished this book in about two and a half hours. I tried putting it down to sleep… but nope. I was determined to finish … I had to find out what’s gonna happen next !!
This story gives me an immense amount of hope!! Yes I know it’s a make believe story , with made up characters. But still… it gives me hope! Just shows me, don’t settle for less than you deserve… true love is worth waiting for!! Life throws you curveballs … good and bad things always happen. But it’s how you react to those things, together… is what matters most!
Another outstanding story for the books, Michelle! I can’t wait to see what’s next!! I suggest you go out and read this book ASAP… you won’t be disappointed at all!!
Our Unexpected Hope is a beautiful, heartfelt contemporary romance that you will not want to put down. It is so different from any romance story I have ever read before. In so many romance novels the characters are either not looking for a relationship or are totally against relationships, looking for something casual instead. This story is totally the opposite from this.
22 year old Quinn wants a relationship like that of her parents. They are so deeply in love and both worship the ground the other walks on. Quinn wants someone to be her soulmate, the love of her life and who sees her in the same way.
Noah was abandoned at birth and was moved from foster family to foster family growing up. He’s never been loved. Like Quinn, he wants to meet the woman of his dreams, fall in love, have lots of babies and live happily ever after.
When Quinn, who is a photographer, is doing a photoshoot at the restaurant where Noah works, cupid definitely shoots off a few arrows. Both Quinn and Noah fall for each other very quickly and look forward to a perfect life together. However, true love never runs smoothly and Quinn is unable to have children.
Where will this lead Quinn and Noah? Will this be the end of their relationship or will Quinn and Noah get their happily ever after?
This is the first book that I have read by this author and I loved it. It was full of emotion and takes you on an emotional roller coaster. I thoroughly recommend Our Unexpected Hope.
I have read a couple of books from this author but she keeps on surprising me with her writing. You can read this as a stand-alone but this story has prior characters that you will also love. I love a good love at first sight story but this author exceeded all my expectations. I could not put this book down. The characters drew me in right from the first page. It only took me a full day to devour this incredible book.
Quinn has always wanted a love like she reads in her books. She has always loved love. Quinn is photographer with her dad which she absolutely a dream come true. She is doing her first shoot and she runs into the most beautiful man she has ever seen. Quinn can feel an instant attraction to him. She is shocked when Noah asks her out. There relationship develops pretty fast but when you know you know. Quinn feels like this is the perfect love story for her but then they start to see the downs. Will Noah and Quinn’s love survive the devastation or will they become broken?
I absolutely loved this book. The storyline has it all romance, heartbreak, and healing. You will fall in love with these characters right from the beginning. Quinn is a beautiful woman with a heart of gold. She wants her happy ever after. Noah is the perfect guy. He treats Quinn like a princess and all he wants to do is make her happy. These characters have some steamy scenes that will make your temperature rise. This talented author will keep you on the edge of your seat until the end. I can’t wait to see what this author will write next.
