'Emotional, satisfying, sweet, and oh so good' Kylie Scott
Unexpected is a unforgettable new friends-to-lovers romance from bestselling author Kelly Rimmer, in her Start Up in the City series, perfect for fans of Jill Shalvis and Nora Roberts.
Co-parenting with her best friend. What could go wrong?
Abby Herbert has her life carefully planned out. Best career ever? Check. Great friends and a stunning TriBeCa apartment? Check. Perfect man to share her dream family? Surely just a matter of time. But then she gets devastating news from her doctor - if she wants a baby, she needs to get started on that by...well, yesterday.
Tech entrepreneur Marcus Ross has been harbouring decidedly more-than-friends feelings toward Abby. When he learns of her predicament, he promises to be there for her however she wants him to be, even if the idea of fatherhood is a little complicated for him right now. But it isn't long until boundaries start to blur, and a deal struck between friends starts to turn into something perilously close to feelings that could change everything...
'Rimmer...showcases her talent with this sweet, lively contemporary set in New York City...the characters are wildly entertaining. This will delight fans of extremely modern romance' Publishers Weekly
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Rimmer (Before I Let You Go) showcases her talent with this sweet, lively contemporary set in New York City. Best friends since birth, habitual planner Abigail Herbert and commitment-phobic Marcus Ross know each other better than they know themselves. When Abby learns that an inherited condition is quickly diminishing her chances of carrying a pregnancy to term, she asks Marcus to help her conceive. Despite Abby's plan to parent alone, Marcus realizes he wants to be more than just a sperm donor; he wants his child to know him as dad. When they learn how time-consuming artificial insemination is, they decide to go about it the traditional way, believing they will be able to keep their hearts out of the mix. However, neither is aware that the other is still affected by a kiss they shared months earlier. Their fun, loving longtime friends have already made bets about Abby and Marcus's relationship remaining platonic, and the stakes are raised when the two start to have more-than-friendly feelings for each other. The ending is predictable but not clich d, the flow is as smooth as the transition of the relationship, and the characters are wildly entertaining. This will delight fans of extremely modern romance.
