An Unexpected Love

By: J. Haney

Synopsis:

Their worlds were fused together by a single ringing of the telephone. Kyler Jefferson was just sixteen when her family was brutally murdered. Left pregnant and alone she has been running for nearly a decade from place to place, terrified that one day they would be found by the mysterious caller with sinister intentions.

Since the deaths of his mother and sister, Caleb Hudson has been living the bachelor’s life. As a private investigator he usually handles cheating spouses and missing persons, which suits him just fine. While investigating a routine case he finds himself thrust into Kyler’s life, consumed by a profound need to protect her from a past he knows nothing about.

They are two people going down separate roads; one running for her life, the other trying to maintain what’s left of his own. How can they preserve their lives when fate has decided she has other plans?

Review:

I’ve read J. Haney’s work before and really liked it, and was surprised that I did. She writes books that are very different types of love. And I find it very unique and I love how honest she is about everything.

But, I had a few problems with being able to get into this book.

This book was very dramatic. It had a lot going on in a little package. Which is awesome. I love it when a writer can put so much detail in a short book and still make it make sense. An Unexpected Love did make sense, but there were parts of it that had me asking questions and being a little confused.

For example, a house explodes and the main characters did not have to deal with any police or firemen, or anything. They were able to just pick up and run. I don’t quite understand how that would be possible. Even if no one saw them leave or anything, SOMEONE would have had to have heard the explosion and called 911. And they had neighbors who they knew for years, they would have explained to the cops who lived there and what they looked like. They should have at least been tracked down by the police to a certain extent. A house doesn’t just explode and nothing happen afterwards.

I found that to be a large detail that was left out of the story that traveled throughout the book in ways.

Aside from the lack of police and all that jazz, I did like the story.

Kyler is a very strong female. Which I’m suspecting is kinda how J. Haney rolls. And I like that. Damsels in distress are so 90’s. I’m all about the female empowerment. Plus her freaking kids are angels. They never act up, they always listen, they have great manners. Good job Kyler!!

And Caleb is so dreamy. He’s the twist. Kyler is a 26 year old single mom of twins, And Caleb is in his 40’s. That alone makes him appealing to me. I’m a sucker for older men. More mature, experienced, stable, reliable, rugged, romantic... the list goes on and on.

I really loved the story. And I seriously fell in love
with Caleb. We need more books with older men as the hunk. Because they ARE hunks!! I just wish certain details weren’t left out. But, that’s just me. I’m a picky reader. You guys should check this book out. It’s the first in the Hudson Bothers P.I. series, so there’s plenty more where that one came from!
