Didn't Expect You

Nyx, an attorney who is looking to make partner, except her number one supporter in the firm left and it has been an uphill battle to stay afloat. Her being sick and turning off clients did not help matters either, and it did not take long for her boss to give her the boot. Luckily, her old boss has her back and will help her with an unlawful termination case. Nate, the social one of the two Chadwick brothers, Ford, is the brains behind the development and Nate is the deal maker. He likes to live life to the fullest but is a cynic for love and relationship and is a complete player with the ladies, a “love them and leave them” type of guy. Nate is drawn to Nyx, there is something about her that makes him want to get to know her better, but Nyx knows he is not relationship material and she does not want to complicate things for her sister and his brother, who already warned Nate to stay away from her. But when Nate finds out she is pregnant, he wants to be there for her and becomes her fiercest protector.I loved the layers and complexity to these characters, also loved how everything played out, watching Nate not only fall for Nyx, but show his caring side and then deal with his past and inner demons to help him grow as a person, knock down that wall he built around his heart. Nyx also grew as a person too, coming to grips with her nurturing behavior for her siblings. This wonderfully plotted story has the perfect balance of drama, witty dialogue and humor, heartfelt emotions and a slow, but oh so sweet, romance. Claudia Burgoa, thank you for another fabulously entertaining story and emotional rollercoaster ride.

🎧📚🎧 I listened to the audiobook edition and Claudia Burgoa had the perfect cast to bring her characters and story to life, a multi-cast and a fabulous lineup of talented narrators and versatile voice artists. Aaron Shedlock and Virginia Rose covered the roles of the two lead characters, with Brooke Bloomingdale and Jason Clarke returning as Persy and Chad, and Liam Sanderson and Connor Brown joins Teddy Hamilton covering the roles for secondary/support characters. Their portrayal of the characters is spot on, giving each a voice that fits their character’s persona to a tee, sounding believable and just as I picture the characters to sound. These entertaining storytellers are a pleasure to listen to and their narration enhanced this wonderful story to another level. Thank you for another fabulous listen.

I absolutely love it, to the characters, storyline, storytelling. I’ma sucker for a romantic novel, and I was definitely sucked in. If I didn’t have responsibilities, I’ll have definitely finished it one sitting!

After reading the first book I the series, I was very much looking forward to this story. Unfortunately it just didn’t ring for me. A lot of the book just doesn’t line up and the early pregnancy mentions feel superficial and not realistic timing-wise.
