Unexpected Love

I give this book 3. 5 stars. This is the first book I have read of this author. When the author offered an ARC to readers in a readers group for the Christchurch wham bam author jam which is on the 26th October 20th 2019, I decided to put my hand up... I went in blind to this book as will all readers and the author has stated that no spoiler review so here goes The book has a storyline that makes reviewing it very hard to write as theres a huge plot twist that will get you mid way through the story... I was like OMG.... 😱🤔. BUT I CAN'T SAY WHY. Now, the prologue of this book really got me emotionally, I loved it... And cried buckets for Hunter and Bree. It was a good start to the book, very dramatic and a tense scene to draw the reader in. The authors crafted a story that will keep you on your toes. Chapter 1 is years later into the characters lives ... Lifes very different for Hunter. I read on thinking I knew where the story was heading... Boy was I clueless. If you want to read a book, where you become attached to the character and you can't wait to read where the authors taking them, but keeps you guessing in whats actually going on, then you'll enjoy this book. But be prepared to be misdirected you may think you know what will happen... But  you won't... Now this was an unedited ARC and I had a bit trouble trying to follow the plot due to inconsistencies in describing the characters, but when I contacted the author I was assured that these have been fixed, and after a re-read or 2 I would work it out. But the biggest issue was the POV switching mid scene, sometimes I'd get totally mixed up with whos POV I was reading. Now I'm normally ok with dual or multiple POVs but they have tended to switch at each chapter. I'm hoping that the final edit helps the reader realise who's controlling the narrative.Hunter is at a crossroad in his life, beginning to realise he needs someone else in his life, but its hard letting anyone in, hes lucky to work with a great team who ensures that he doesn't hide away from his emotions.. And when Valentine day approaches he finds hes got a mysterious admirer.... things seem to be brightening up for Hunter, one night on the town changes everything. I will end by saying that the author has created a plot that will probably shock the reader as it did me, but I was already invested in the characters so much that I carried on reading as I wanted... no needed Hunter to find happiness again. Warning theres a big cliffhanger at the end that'll be having you wanting book 2 preordered as soon as you"ve got to the end of this one... Lets hope its not too long in the wait because even though I don't normally read this genre I still need to know what happens next.
