Great book that checks all my boxes! Plenty of drama, heartbreak and angst to keep your heart engaged and enough suspense to keep you turning the pages. Smart sassy heroine Addilyn has been burned once, will she risk it again? And poor Lucian, he’s also been put through the ringer. They both worked really hard to get to their HEA. I love the interconnecting stories this author does, because you get attached to the background characters, Wynter has definitely piqued my curiosity and I’m for sure looking forward to her story. Add in Lucians adorable son and automatic best seller! Can’t wait for more from this author!
This book definitely exceeded my expectations, especially after it was my first full read by Kristin! I found her previously through a book she wrote with Kelly Elliott, and I loved that book so much that I decided to give this one a shot, and I was pleasantly surprised with how much I liked it! Addilyn has been pretty shy on easing back into the dating world after a bad divorce, much like Lucian. When they meet on chance after talking through a dating app, they decide to give a relationship a go and throughout the course of it, they deal with Lucian’s ex-wife and his son’s paternity. I was a big fan of the relationship and how they interacted, and it made the storyline that much better with the added suspense. Overall, I was a huge fan of this book and the storyline and I can’t wait to read more from Kristin!
I voluntarily read and reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.
Every single book, every single time. Each book of Ms. Mayer’s I pick up I just fall in love. It’s inevitable and it’s going to happen. Addilyn and Lucian are no different. And then add in little Remmy. Remmy, he’s the cutest little boy in the whole wide world! And just, you’ll fall so in love with these characters and now I’m so so ready for Kaysen and Wynter!
I recently found Kristin Mayer and have been loving every book I have read of hers so far. In Unexpected Love we get the story of unexpected possibilities full of charm and the best kind of feels! I devoured this story from start to finish. It was such a fun and sweet journey.
Though Addalyn could have easily fallen into despair after everything she has been through, she was strong and determined. I loved that about her. But she was not ready for anything new right now. Lucian stole my heart. He such a caring man I loved how they “meet”. Their chemistry was so strong, and I just loved watching them fall.
I loved Unexpected Love by Kristin Mayer. She have very quickly become a 1-click author for me. This story was sweet and fun and so easy to get lost in. I loved the character and their journey so much and highly recommend this story!
4.5-stars. Read and reviewed for Sultry Sirens Book Blog.
Happy reading!
Oh. My!! Seriously, Kristin Mayer has done it again! Unexpected Love drew me in from the first page, the connection between Lucian and Addilyn was almost instant. Both being scarred from previous relationships hadn’t deterred them from the feelings they had for each other, but there seemed so many obstacles to over come. It was truly a beautiful thing to watch as their relationship changed and grew. Would they find their HEA? And then there was Remmy, Lord he totally melted my heart!
I did not want to put this book down and was most disgruntled that I had to go to work this morning!! But I was straight back into it when I got home this evening!
This book gave me ALL THE FEELS!! As you would expect from a Kristen Mayer book! Please go and add this to your TBR!!
5 BEAUTIFUL TOUCHING STARS!! A beautiful touching story from this phenomenal author. Lucian is AMAZING….looking for your next book boyfriend, here you go. Lucian and Addilyn’s story is complicated with both having issues in their family lives. Their story is full of feels, friendship, a little suspense and lots of love. You definitely need to read this book. I can’t wait for the next book.
5 They Create Their Own World Stars!!!
I say this with every book Ms. Mayer writes….I FREAKING LOVED this book!!! Lucian, Addilyn and Remmy are EVERYTHING!! These two were definitely NOT looking for love and in fact were doing everything possible to avoid it. But sometimes fate has other plans and given that they “met” before they actually meet just made it that much better!
Lucian is a man that is all alpha all the time…except when it comes to his son Remmy and then he’s in alpha overdrive protecting this beautiful little boy from an ugly world that no child should be exposed to and when he meets Addilyn his world is turned upside down because she just gets him. But she’s not had an easy life and well, she’s very cautious about giving her heart away.
This book is written with so much emotion and all the feelings that give me goosebumps when a couple is falling in love. Their chemistry is something neither has experienced before. I loved how Lucian accepted Addilyn and respected everything she’s been through because trust me, he could just blow into her life and take over but he knows this woman his is world and well, he’s willing to bend a little.
And let’s talk about this sweet little boy Remmy. My heart completely and totally melted for him. He truly plays an integral part of this love story and I so appreciate how Ms. Mayer let that happen and it wasn’t over the top nor did it ever feel like it was forced it was a very organic part of the story and their growing love. As I also love in her books, there was just the right amount of angst.
If you’re looking for a great love story with all heart and soul this is the book you need to read. I personally am going to need Kaysen and Wynter’s story ASAP!!
This was an exciting read. You have an ad executive, Addilyn DeRosa, who tries out a dating app her agency is trying to overhaul. She connects with a Mister Mystery, Lucian Black. He just happens to be an investor and the two have an instant connection online and then in person. Add in Addilyn’s crazy bff and creator of the dating app, Lucian’s psycho ex wife, his precious son, Remmy and more scum you’ll find out about and hate on. There is lots of drama, some righteous justice, hot steamy scenes and sweet scenes. I loved it and can’t wait for the next book!
AWESOME!!!! BOOK!!!!
Unexpected Love by the fabulous Kristin Mayer, has become one of my absolute favorites of 2019!! Highly emotional (have the tissues ready ladies), humorous, and mysterious.
I absolutely LOVED everything in this book!! Lucian and Addilyn blew my mind, their love for each other…sigh! Every person’s dream, to find that kind of love. Especially, after they were both so hurt by previous relationships, their love was just astounding!!! I loved ALL of the characters in this book, but one character, Remmy, stole my freaking heart!!! I think possibly, one of my favorite parts is where Addawin (yes, I misspelled Addilyn’s name, you will understand once you read this book) goes to Remmy’s room to wake him and tells him…. Sorry ladies, I am not giving any spoilers away! I will say this, I cried like a baby, so have your tissues ready!! My heart just shattered into a million pieces for Remmy. Kudos Ms. Mayer!!!
I will also say this, Ms. Mayer gives us, the reader, the insight into her next book, Complicated Love which will release in September 2019.
I have been a fan of Kristin Mayer for a little over 2 years now, and I have to say this, her stories, just keep getting better and better. She has become one of my go tos when I want to read an emotional, heart wrenching book!
Thank you, Ms. Mayer, for sharing your phenomenal story writing talents with your readers.
Thank you for reading my review. NOW, go click that purchase button. I promise you, you will not be disappointed!!
I received this book as an ARC in return for an honest review.
Unexpected Love is only my second read from author Kristin Mayer but its very obvious that she has a knack for writing swoon-worthy heroes.
The story of Addilyn and Lucian isn’t what most would think of a typical contemporary romance. Both main characters are divorced, though they had two different experiences and neither are looking to get serious with someone again, guarding their hearts against reliving the past. Of course, fate has other ideas, and instead, we get a magically romantic story filled with hope that there are other chances for all of us. Kristin also has a fabulous line up of secondary characters that I hope will get their HEA soon.
Five stars Kristin who cemented herself as a one-click author for me with this beautiful story.
AMAZING!! I am a huge fan of Kristin Mayer – she’s one of my ‘blind one-click’ authors! I will reread her books whenever I am in a book funk – she’s one of my ultimates! I was so excited for Unexpected Love and I was not disappointed! Lucian and Addilyn are EVERYTHING! This story has everything you’ve come to love and know from KM – Love, heat and a tad bit of suspense. FIVE STARS will never be enough!
It’s funny how one little sentence can change your life…“I’d recommend the hot dog stand on Madison and 55th.”
Addilyn works in marketing a new dating app. (Let’s be honest, I’m not technology savvy, so the job aspect was over my head) But to get a true grasp of this app, she makes herself a profile and goes on, immediately clicking with another user, Mister Mystery. Mister Mystery and Aurora Rose chat often but never give intimate or personal details. (Think You’ve Got Mail with Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan)
But a funny twist of fate has Addilyn meeting Lucian Black, the owner of Black Media, the company working with Addilyn and the apps owner, his best friend Kayson.
After recommending the hot dog stand, Lucian realizes he is standing in front of Aurora Rose.
This is just the beginning to a beautiful HEA that gives you a bit of angst and problems the get you through to the end. This was a story that just made my heart happy and sing. Another wonderful job by Kristin Mayer.
Now to just wait for Kayson & Wynter’s story…
One of the things I love about Kristin Mayer is she never gives you the same old story. Her books are always full of twists and surprises that you never see coming. Unexpected Love is just what I expected and everything I wasn’t.
Lucian and Addilyn have both been burned by love in the past. Both of them sure that love will never find them again. When they are charged with testing a new dating app, they don’t expect to meet someone that they have an instant connection with. I loved these characters and couldn’t put their story down.
The secondary characters were just as intriguing. I have a feeling that Wynter and Kaysen have a complicated story and I can’t wait to get my hands on it.
Unexpected Love took my on a ride I didn’t see coming and it was absolutely thrilling! I highly recommend you pick this one up!
Read it!
Remmy stole the show. Simple as that.
Oh and I loved to hate Crystal, haha.
No, for real. Swoon worthy men, strong and independent women, crazy ex’s and a little boy who will steal your heart.
