Unexpected by Roe Horvat
4.0

4.2 stars!

If there's one thing I can count on, it's loving a Roe Horvat book; this one was no exception. Roe really has a talent for descriptive spice, but he excels at writing plot and developing characters as well. In this book, as in Roe's other books, I found it easy to believe the characters' emotions and become immersed in the story.

And the spice? Oh yes, the spice. We had dirty talking (but super caring) Richard and then seemingly innocent Carter (who turned into a secret nympho). I could really feel the chemistry between them!

As a side note, I'll just add that there is an adorable dog in this book. I, myself, am not a dog-lover (I know, I know, burn the witch!), but I was quite fond of the dog in this book, and I swooned over the interactions of Carter and Richard with the adorable Noodle.

A Few Things I Wrote Down:
- Why does Richard think Leo is a good person? lol. Just because someone knows they're evil, doesn't mean they're not evil.
-
SpoilerI don't like Carter's Uncle. It wasn't his right to send Richard away. He should have asked Carter immediately. I mean, it got resolved quickly enough, but I just don't like overprotective relatives lol. Maybe that's a me thing.
