Jenna Fallon is on her way to her little sister’s wedding when her car breaks down. Short on cash and reluctant to call on her family who disapprove of her free-spirited ways, Jenna hitches a ride with Dr. Mark Chambers a serious minded marine biologists who travels around the world saving the world’s creatures. Despite Jenna and Mark’s differences, they are attracted to each other and things hit up quickly. Both hold lifelong insecurities that prevent them from truly accepting the other for who they are. They’ll have a lot of work to overcome their differences to make their relationship more than just a wild ride.

 HIS, UNEXPECTEDLY is a great read. I loved Jenna and Mark as characters, they were such different creatures, but they were able to respect each other as individuals and learn to work together as they made their way up the coast to Canada. Usually with romance novels there is one person who has a deep seated issue that they need to resolve before they can enjoy their happily ever after, that was not the case inside HIS, UNEXPECTEDLY. I really enjoyed that both Jenna and Mark each went through a full character arc and while their journey to awareness took different paths, it was a full journey that made me completely believe in their happily ever after once I closed the pages.

 I loved the characterization and HIS, UNEXPECTEDLY’s plot was more intricate and character focused than what I normally read in erotic romance. The erotic element had a great balance of heat, but the sex always focused on the characters and wasn’t thrown in just because of the type of romance that it was. HIS, UNEXPECTEDLY also had a great family dynamic and I loved how the story line was weaved in regarding the sisters and how their place in their family and how their parents reacted to their placed developed each sisters character.

 All in all, HIS, UNEXPECTEDLY was an enjoyable read and whether Ms. Fox is writing under Susan Fox or Susan Lyons (which I totally don’t get the name change as all her books are contemporary erotica) she’s a must read author for me

My name is Lynette, I live in Michigan. I'm a stay-at-home mom married to a cop. I've been reading romance novels since I was eleven years old. I'll read just about anything that has a happily ever after, though my favorites are romantic suspense, erotica, historical, and contemporary novels. Reading has become the fun thing in my life that has kept me sane.
