Unexpected Odds (Unexpected Arrivals Book 5)
By kayleeryan
This is the 5th and final story in this phenomenal series and what a perfect conclusion Kent and Delaney’s story is. This is a beautifully written 2nd chance emotional roller coaster journey throughout, as well as heart-warming with realistic characters and plot. I was totally captivated throughout this riveting tale and highly recommend for all.
I received a complimentary ARC – early release copy of this book in Kindle format from the author for review purposes.
This is Kent’s story. He is the last bachelor standing and the guys get a new job and that introduces Delaney into his life for a 2nd time. But no one knows that not even her.
I bet you have a lot of questions about that statement and so you need to go out and buy this book. It was absolutely WONDERFUL. I do want to state, no one dies in this book. It is more about love, friendship and soulmates and fate. Which is really what this entire series has been about…FATE and the love it brings to your life.
Can this book stand alone. YES! But you really should read this whole series or you will be lost with who is married to whom and whose kids are whose and how they all entered their lives. A lot happens in every book.
It was a wonderful told story and Kaylee Ryan really created an amazing group of friends which showcases family and friendship and love. The only thing I am sorry about is this series is ending and this is the last books.
My favorite Beckett Construction man Kenton!!!
My love for Kent goes far and beyond. Kent is sexy, tender, patient and loving. He is also a caring uncle. Poor Delaney – She has been through so much and has had to pick her self up. She trying to piece together her life while still moving toward a future. Together can the two if them conquer the past and still have a future?
This story killed me the emtions in this book was endless!!!
I love this series and I really hate to see it it end. I knew Kent’s book would be something special. This author never seizes to amaze me with her words and talent. Kent and Delaney are about to take you on a beautiful, emotional journey.
Wow!!! Kaylee Ryan absolutely slayed it with Kent’s story. I have read each and every Kaylee Ryan book and every time I think she has written the perfect hero, she goes and one ups the last most amazing guy she has written. I was hooked from the start with this story that has an almost second chance kind of feel with a twist. I really liked Delaney as a character and despite the unique set of circumstances, she and Kent had some great chemistry. I loved how fiercely determined Kent was in fighting for Delaney and Kendrix from the start…total SWOON!!!. If you are not swooning reading a Kaylee Ryan book, I might be a bit concerned. I would happily take any of the heroes in her book, and Kent followed the other alphas in his group of friends being charming, protective and all around amazing.
I loved being able to catch up on the rest of the gang from the other books in the series as they were also discussed throughout various parts of this book also. I loved the close knit friendships they all have and that they are more like one big family. If you want to be left feeling happy, content and just with an overall sense of peace, pick up a Kaylee Ryan book. She is a definite go to author for me and I have yet to be disappointed.
Unexpected Odds blows my mind. This author is really good at taking her stories to totally different directions, i love the elements of surprises in the books, it’s never what I expected. The friendships between all the characters add so much to the conversations, there’s never a dull moment in the story. Laughter, tears, joy, suspense are what make this series unexpected and worth readers’ time.
Unexpected Odds was the fifth book in Kaylee’s Unexpected Arrivals series. They don’t necessarily need to be read in order but would make more sense if you did. This story felt the most real to me, there were still some moments that were over the top but it was so sweet! It was sexy, swoonworthy, and heartwarming!
** The book’s blurb doesn’t give anything away so if you want a complete surprise, don’t read the next two paragraphs**
Kent had met his match years ago but one mistake had cost him everything. When she walked back into his life, would he get a second chance or had too much happened?
Delaney had had a rough few years. When her father passed away and left her his childhood home, she decided she needed to get away for awhile. What she didn’t count on was finding part of her past. Would he be able to forgive her for the years they had lost?
Kent!! I had been waiting for his story the entire time. I have loved him with all the kids…swoon!!! After the last book, I wasn’t sure I would enjoy his story, but it completely worked!! They had such a strong and sweet connection. It was a good ending to the series! I loved all the amazing men and sweet children!!
I feel like a waited forever for Kent to finally have his book. And I must say I was not disappointed.
Delaney and Kent have a history and a secret. It took a little bit for Delaney to grow on me but she ended up a really great character. And Kent, well Kent was as great as ever.
FYI Delaney’s mom was really not a nice person.
I was so glad that I got a chance to read this series (and especially this book) from the beginning and lived every bit of it. If you haven’t read them, get them! Read them! You won’t be disappointed.
What a way to bring an Amazing Series to a end. Kent, I just love him. He is so misjudged because of his tattoos with a bad boy look. He is such a softie . He wants what his best friends have the love of a good woman and family. So when his pass comes back into his life all bets are off. He isn’t letting Delaney the one that got away get away again. Get ready to swoon and fall in love with the guys of Beckett Construction all over again.
I really loved this story so much and this couple was really great to read about
This is the final book in the series and what a way to finish it off! This is Kent and Delaney’s story and one that was emotional, angsty and heartbreaking. It was also heartwarming, steamy and just perfect! I loved it!!
How do I fall more and more in love with this group of friends and all their stories. Kenton’s story with Delaney had a fantastic premise and packed full of all the feels. I am truly at a loss for words as to how to review this book because it truly is filled with so many feels and such a fantastic story line. Must read 202 0!!
Everything I love to read in a romance
Oh, holy hell, this book is everything that my unreasonably sentimental heart demands in an unexpected baby, second chance romance. Given the premise of this series, I wondered what odd kind of circumstance Kaylee Ryan was going to create for Kent in this last story for the Unexpected Arrivals series.
Every book has been amazing, right from Unexpected Reality, which for me, has been a beautiful re-read, right through to Unexpected Odds. Kent has been there from the start, and I absolutely loved this gorgeous man. Kaylee Ryan has saved the best for last, and created the finest of romantic and steadfast book boyfriends. Seriously, this man is a unicorn, and it seemed that every circumstance was against him ever finding the one that he’d lost.
In spite of the difficult and overbearing mother that she had, Delaney has become strong. Life dealt her an unfair blow, and her mother exacerbated the problem, and, even though I eventually felt so sorry for her father, I believed that he never really stepped up for her. If he wasn’t already dead, I’d have killed him myself. Lucky for her that he tried to make things right. She needed to go back to the house she’d grown up in.
Seeing Delaney come home after more than four years away, Kent found that the odds are still against them getting together again, but the chemistry between them is as strong as it ever was, he just had to remind her, make her fall in love with him again, or this time he’d die trying. I loved everything about him and the people behind him. His parents and the family made up of Beckett’s Construction made sure that everything worked in their favour. My heart was happy and full. Still, there was the requisite fly in the ointment, and I found the surprising twist to be a sad and tragic tale for all involved….
5 Stars for this beautiful end to an amazing series
THIS BOOK! This freaking magnificent book! I DEVOURED this book. No, devoured isn’t good enough. Or maybe it is, but I didn’t devour this book, it devoured me. I was obsessed . Utterly addicted to Kent and Delaney’s story almost instantly. I was pushed to my limit on so many emotions. From tears of heartbreak to tears of pure joy, I cried them all as I fell even harder for characters I’d already come to know and love from this series along with falling just as deeply for characters I was meeting for the first time.
Kent is everything I could ever dream of in a book boyfriend and more. God, so much more. This man is the definition of beautiful inside and out. As sexy as he is (and the man is HOT) is heart is by far the most attractive part of him. The love between him and Delaney is what we all dream of. That soul deep connection that nothing can stand in the way of. These two have that multiplied by about a billion. This is hands down one of my all time favorite books by Kaylee Ryan and one of the best books of 2020 for me.
This is one of those moments where I am sad that the journey is over. I loved every step of the way but I almost feel like I’m losing a friend. Or in this case a whole group of them.
Every book in this series has grabbed hold of me and made me love each and every one of them. I have been dying to get Kent’s book. He was the strong silent type who loved so hard but always sat on the sidelines alone. And although we knew there had to be a reason it was a mystery.
And meeting Delaney and watching him go all out to prove his sincerity was awesome. But damn her story was complicated and every time I though she had gotten through the last drama another bomb was dropped. Luckily she had Kent by her side to help her navigate it all.
These two were a beautiful addition to the family and a great conclusion to the series. I just can’t believe it’s over. I really need to do a series re-read soon to get over my loss.
Nothing but absolute LOVE for this series! I love Kaylee’s writing and Unexpected Odds is just another book I completely adore! This series in general holds a special place in my heart. The characters and their stories are unlike anything I’ve read before. Each book is packed with everything you’d want! Romance, steam, babies, and so many feelings! I COULD NOT put Unexpected Odds down! I had to get more from Kent and Delaney! I still want more from the group! I read it all in one day and felt like I still need MORE!
I am sad to see this series end but so glad that Kent got his story and HEA.
Kent has always been there with his family. The light in him just wasn’t as bright until Delaney came back into his life. When the unexpected truth comes out his life is turned upside down…in the best way.
Delaney has been seeking answers. Not knowing they were in Tennessee. She has thing to uncover but with Kent she can beat the odds.
This was a great book. So glad he got his HEA.

I absolutely devoured Unexpected Odds by Kaylee Ryan. This series has been phenomenal and full of all the feels. Kent and Delaney’s story was emotional and heartfelt and I loved it. They were amazing characters and their chemistry was undeniable. So much history and lost time between them, but some things cannot be denied. Kent was sexy, protective and caring. Delaney was strong, vulnerable and compassionate. Their journey was heartbreaking and heartwarming and I could not stop reading. This is a must-read book and the I cannot recommend the series enough!

Happy reading!
Unexpected Odds by Kaylee Ryan is book 5 and the final book in the Unexpected Arrivals series. This is Kent and Delaney’s story.
This was heartbreaking( at times) emotional, heartwarming, steamy, full of feels, rollercoaster ride of emotions ( grief, pain, anger, happiness, pain, joy) and romance.
Kent and Delaney had a brief romance which ended suddenly then several years later Delaney is back. Kent has never forgotten Delaney and their connection/chemistry. She was his long lost love and he hoped to reignite their flame but things do not go as he planned…without giving anything away, this book is about 2nd chances at love and forgiveness. It’s about secrets and lies that do damage but what happens after the lies are discovered, is what makes this story so fantastic. Kent is a great guy who is an alpha male that’s just a sweetheart guy. He’s gaga over Delaney- she is younger than him and she has had some bad things happen during their separation. She is now awakening to the facts. She is strong, sweet, and isn’t a pushover. Perfect match to Kent.
Get ready for twists and turns that will keep you hooked from start to finish. Just know this book is a fabulous story to end the series on.
My Rating: 4.5 stars *******
4.5 Stars
I can’t believe this is the last book in the series and the last guy to fall. It started off with a bang and ended on one too. This was the perfect story finish up the series. I loved Kent and Laney. Their story is so beautiful, but unconventional. It’s amazing what the heart remembers. Kendrix is adorable and a scene stealer for sure! Make sure you set time aside to start this one because once you start you won’t want to put it down. This is a book that hits you right in the heart. The emotions just roll off the pages. Kent is just dreamy and delicious! He has many swoon worthy moments through out this book. Fate has given him a second chance and he is going to grab it with both hands. The epilogue was the perfect touch to end this series on. This is a must read!
