JacobAs a rule, men don’t grow up believing in a happily ever after. We don’t believe in meeting the love of our lives; or the white picket fence, and 2.5 children. Every man thinks that those stupid dreams or fantasies are just nonexistent shit until it happens to them. We should have been forewarned.I wish I was prepared for someone to appear in my life and change all my priorities. I suddenly … change all my priorities. I suddenly wanted that fence and children. The part of meeting the love of my life became very real, but I wasn’t ready for suddenly losing it all, and my life plummeting into this shithole forever.
The heartbreak of losing your soulmate is one of the worst pains you will ever live with. I should campaign and warn the young people. Vaccinate against love because if you lose it, you could lose yourself for the rest of your life. The burden on your back will forever mark you and wither away your soul, darkening your days and the rest of your natural life.
This isn’t false advertisement or a dramatic display of one bitter soul.
Pria
I fought by my mother’s side until her last breath, and tried to help my father until his last memories dissipated. My sister is the last one standing, but her life is a miracle that can end at any given moment. All my life I’ve never been alone, but always felt lonely.
Today, my options on how to live my life are endless, yet my heart and my best friend limit them. Stay in Seattle, close to the one person that will never let me inside his world.
The thug, as mom would’ve called him. A man with a bad boy attitude and a heart bigger than the ocean.

This third book in the Unexpected series is an emotional second chance love story. When Cypriana (Pria) Walker and Jacob (JC) Colthurst-Decker meet in college they have instant chemistry. Jacob knows immediately that Pria is his soul mate, destined to be together, forever. Pria isn’t as convinced by Jacob’s less than stellar ‘lines’ but after perseverance she agrees to go out with him. They spend over a week together, being each other’s first lover. Jacob is sweet and a romantic at heart. His artistic soul is awakened by Pria and he can’t imagine life without her. Soon it is time for Pria to go home to help care for her sick sister. Unfortunately Jacob loses her phone number and has no way to contact her. He tries everything he can think of to find her but tragedy strikes in the process. Pria waits for him to call her but when he doesn’t she is finally forced to move on. This story is about how their lives, the decisions they made and how their responsibilities made them who they are when they meet by chance 10 years later. Jacob is bitter and dead inside not letting anyone in. Pria is polarized by her need to care for everyone but herself. Ms. Burgoa is a master at weaving past and present while slowly revealing layer by layer these intriguing characters. The story is a roller coaster of deep emotion that I couldn’t put down. The whole Colthurst-Decker clan is there to pester, love and support unconditionally. I love their banter and the crazy way the triplets are connected. I can’t wait to read Matthews story next!
“Life is about how you look at it, how you fell, and your attitude toward it.”
That’s us: our love and our life. Simple. Nothing complicated.If it’s meant to happen it’ll flow, like the sound of the music through the wind. We’ve already had too much drama to last us a lifetime.”
” Since the first time I laid eyes on you, our souls entwined with each other. They interweaved together like the roots of a redwood tree’s grasp onto the ground.”
” I believe every person has a soulmate.” My fathers say that when you find that person that makes you want to become a better version of yourself, you’ve found your other half.”
“One moment, my life was under control and the next, boom.” I clap my hands and stretch them out while simulating the magnitude of the explosion that destroyed perfection.
I immensely loved it!!! This is the first novel I have read by Claudia Burgoa
Uncharted is an exceptionally written story with the right elements that will take you to the heights of finding your soulmate and having them ripped apart from you.
The setting of the novel begins at UW where MJ an JC are seniors. This is where Jace and Pria’s story begins at the campus bookstore.
The Universe brings them together only to tear them apart.
Perhaps the Universe had a different stratagem for both of them before it decides to intervene?
Is there hope for Jace and Pria? Do first loves or true soulmates ever find there way back and able to stand the test of time after so many years apart?
Sometimes without knowing our own promises made to others in life keep us bounded to a non-existent entity and unable to move on. We end up living in misery when in reality Life is about the choices we make and how we handle and respond to the outcome.
We either make the best of it and live life to the fullest or live a miserable stubborn existence.
I thought for sure their paths would cross at certain points in the story. No matter how hard they tried to find each other something always kept them apart.
I fell in love with Jace’s and Pria’s story.
The growth and development of the relationship between Jace and Pria is outstanding.
The trials, errors, compromises and sacrifices they both encounter. Jace and Pria have this picture-perfect of how a relationship should be, but every relationship is work.
Author’s writing skills are powerful. She is able to lure you in slowly and seize you page after page.
So many gripping twist in this novel.
Through it all we have to make the final decision and make choices in life. An extensive well written novel. Characters are perfectly written throughout the story
Without reservation, I wholeheartedly recommend this book..
(After I finished reading this novel went to Amazon and purchased the whole series.)
Uncharted is the third novel in The Unexpected Series.

Uncharted was a good read. This book gives us Jacob (Jace) and Cypriana (Pria) story. They met in college; Jace made promises to Pria then life took them in different directions. Years later they meet again but life has scarred them both in different ways. Jace made promises to someone and in order to keep those promises, he has to keep Pria at a distance. If Jace wants Pria in his future, he has to break the promises he made to Norah. Norah asked for something huge and in return kept a huge secret that affected Jace but Jace has to realize that what Norah asked for is impossible if he wants to live life and be happy. Once again I enjoyed having all of the family in this book. This book is a standalone. However, I would recommend readers read them in order because the family within this series is a very close knit, and they play a huge role in every book and the previous books. This wasn’t my favorite book in the series but it was a good book and a great addition to the series. I cannot wait to read the next book in the series which is Matthew’s story.
