I had a great time reading this book. The connection between the characters was amazing while making it an enjoyable storyline that flowed easily from page to page.

Jandy and Chollar ‘s story has one very sick villain in Fynbar. There is suspense, drama, danger, torture, murder, a Master telepath, twists, turns, Demons of all kinds, and romance. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
I love this series and have been anxiously awaiting this story which focuses on Chollar and Jandy. Both have landed in the hands of a diabolical Newman called Fynbar. Chollar is a Master Cerebral telepath imprisoned and looking for a way to escape. Jandy has been sold to Fynbar as a slave and ends up being turned into a cyborg against her will.
There is so much going on in this story it is hard to know where to start describing it. Jandy is half Silk Demon and we get to learn how she can steal sleep from others to meet her needs. This is a symbiotic relationship and not meant to be harmful. She also has a wonderful ability to create a mind palace for herself where she can escape and replenish herself when needed. Chollar is so strong he is able to join her in her mind palace and the sparks fly.
Jandy is another great heroine and I loved how she was able to fight her cyborg programming to escape. Along the way we have another great secondary character, Maketza, a small gipper robot who brings great humor and snark to the story.
Chollar’s abilities as a Master Cerebral and lack of interpersonal skills are fun to read. So is getting to see the crew from the other Unexpected books show up to help rescue the hero and heroine who happened to be family and friends.
Whoa.
This was a REALLY good book.
The beginning was more sci-fi psychological thriller with hints of romance and steam. Once the main character Chollar and Jandy came out the other side together, it turned so steamy it could fog up your windows.
I would highly recommend this book.
I truly hope there is more to come from this series.
Happy reading!

This novel was well written and edited, with few if any typos. If there were, it did not at all detract from my ability to enjoy this story. I must confess that this was the first novel I have read by this author in this particular series. The reading experience for me was somewhat disjointed, perhaps because this novel was never intended to be read as a standalone by someone who had not read any of the previous novels in this series. The characterization was unremarkable in this novel, and the world building was quite competent, but the plot and pacing was somewhat odd and disjointed. Also, I need to include a trigger warning for other readers who would also be disturbed by the graphic torture scenes which seemed to make up most of this novel. The development of the romantic relationship between the hero and heroine of this novel was quite subpar, with the reader being told that they love each other at the end of this novel without ever witnessing the process of these two characters falling in love. I have read other novels by this author that I thoroughly enjoyed, but unfortunately, this particular title is not among them for this reader. I recommend this novel only to readers who have read all the previous books in this series. Perhaps for those readers, this novel will be quite enjoyable.

The Unexpected series is always… unexpected. This one is a flashback to Jandy (Remember her? Yeah, me neither – so many books, so few brain cells!). But she’s back and in trouble. It’s the Cerebrals again, and this time she’s their toy. She has been captured, tortured and experimented on and has retreated to her mind palace. Chollar is in his own prison but finds a way to communicate with Jandy in her mind palace. He controls her, she resists and slowly they form a relationship. This is a twisting tale about trying to get their freedom and learning the meaning of love.
Layla Stone once again writes an awesome book, no surprise there. In this book, we find out what happened to Chollar and Finbar. The relationship between Jandy and Chollar was very riveting. This book ties up a lot of loose ends and is one of her very best.

I thought that this was a very interesting read. Be aware though that there is a lot of darkness in it. So if torture and sexual slavery are triggers for you or are simply too intense for you, this book may not be the right fit for you. This read offers complex characters and a detailed world that is easy to get pulled into.
This is a very dark read. Torture, sexual slavery, and murder. In the first two chapters. It is darker than I usually prefer but it was handled well as part of the story. This is part of a series. I was drawn into this world so much, I’ve purchased book one to start the series.

Unexpected Master by Layla Stone was a Wonderfully Sweet, Fantasy Read with a Feel Good HEA!
Chollar, the H’s, arrogance was warranted by his natural abilities, and Jancy, the h’s, Mind Palace was a great addition to the mix.
I liked the fact that Jancy was not a pushover, and the fact that she remained strong throughout the entire story.
This series just keeps improving with each new addition!

This is about Jandy a Female Silk Demon/Terran and Chollar a Male Master Elder Cerebral. I really loved the details about the silk demon palace and how she used her abilities. Standalone that is part of a series with HEA. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
