~4.5 Stars~

Heidi McLaughlin was one of the very first Indie writers I read, and My Unexpected Love is exactly why she still remains one of my favorite writers. Her books are always heart melting and filled with so much emotion.

I remember Elle and her twin sister, Peyton, when they were just kids. I adored them like everyone else did. Now, both are on the cusp of becoming adults. I have to be honest and say I had mixed feelings about Elle. I knew she had been through a lot recently, but I found her to be selfish, especially where her best friend, Ben, was concerned. He has been such a support for her and her family, always rearranging his life to be there for her. She took him for granted, never seeing what was right in front of her. Finally, when Ben has had enough of his heart being broken by her, he leaves. When he pulls away, she is finally forced to take a hard look at herself. She doesn’t like who she sees. It is at this point, that I started respecting and liking her. I realized she wasn’t always this way, but it was what she became after dealing with pain and fear at that bottom of a bottle instead of leaning on her family and friends. Finally, with the help of her family and her own strength she is beginning to crawl out of her pit of despair. It isn’t easy, and McLaughlin illustrates her struggle. I admired Elle’s determination in finding Ben, asking for his forgiveness, and telling him how she really feels about him.

Ben is a girl’s dream…handsome, sexy, intelligent, loyal, and sweet. His devotion to Elle was incredible. I wanted them to be together, but I respected him even more when he made that break from her. He deserved happiness, and he deserved someone who would love and appreciate him. It took guts for him to leave everything and everyone he knew and loved and go someplace where he knew no one to pursue his dreams. He tried to forget Elle, but she owned his heart. His ability to forgive her was amazing…thankfully!!!!

This was a fantastic friends to lovers romance. I thought the pacing was spot on. The line that Ben and Elle crossed threatened their friendship and any hope for more, so it wasn’t going to be a quick or perfect fix. Elle had to fix some of her own issues before she could even think of a relationship with Ben. That was going to take some time. What I love about McLaughlin, there is always something more than just a romance. In this book, it was about growing up and becoming adults, which is never easy. As always, her theme of family and friendship is weaved throughout every page. My Unexpected Love was another winner from Heidi McLaughlin. Hopefully, we’ll get Quinn’s book soon!

My Unexpected Love The Beaumont Series Next Generation Book 2 edition by Heidi McLaughlin Contemporary Romance eBooks Reviews

I thought Peyton’s book in Holding Onto Forever was intense but the emotional scars left for her twin Elle was even harder for me in this book. Being a twin I can definitely understand, how everything affected her to see Peyton go through all that. I wanted to shake Elle out of it like my own twin but it’s something she had to work through on her own but I was happy to see Peyton not pushing her, but rather just being there for her. All of Elle’s struggles though just made the end even sweeter for Elle and Ben to get their HEA. I’m dying for Quinn’s story now. With each book, the Powell-James family reaffirms that they are the ultimate family unit!
Phenomenal read that will definitely pull on your heartstrings. Ben & Elle go from best friends to lovers but the road to get to their HEA wasn’t easy. Reading their story will have your emotions all over the place. When you start reading you will want to yell at Ben & Elle at how stupid they act sometimes and then cheer for them because they finally are on the same page. You definitely will not want too put this book down once you start reading. I can’t wait to read Quinn’s book.
They say if you love someone, set them free. If the come back to you, they’re mean to be yours. Such was the case with Elle and Ben. Best friends since high school, Ben fell fast and hard for Elle. It was difficult for him to keep his feelings in check, but the night of his birthday changed everything. I devoured this book in one sitting. I loved how close Elle and Ben were, how he was willing to do anything for her. But when it was time for Ben to give up and move on, I was rooting for Elle to get herself together and realize what she had right in front of her this whole time. This heartfelt tale of best friends to lovers is sure to make you desperate for a soul-deep love of your own.
Rating 4.5 out of 5

I always look forward to reading a new Beaumont book and MY UNEXPECTED LOVE was no exception. Pretty much as soon as I had this book in my hands, I started flipping pages. Elle's and Ben's story is full of angst and heartbreak. They have a moment that seems like their beginning only to become the beginning of their end - before they ever really get started.

Ben was first introduced in HOLDING ONTO FOREVER - these books do need to be read together to appreciate the connection and love that Ben has for Elle. While reading HOF, I was already rooting for this couple - best friends to more. Yes, please! Ben's love for Elle is evident and they needed to be together. She just needed to see it. It takes her a while to figure it out and hearts are will be shattered. Mine included.

What I loved
Overwhelming sense of family. The Powell-James family are tight. I liked how, at different times, Quinn and Elle share their feelings about becoming a family.
Moments with Elle and Peyton - their bond and protectiveness is undeniable
Elle reflecting on her situation and taking control and making a change. She's the only one who can do it and she has to want it.
Getting glimpses of Jimmy, Jenna, and Eden (I can't wait to read Eden's story!)
Since Ben didn't appear in the original Beaumont books, I would have liked more of his and Elle's experiences as teens - whether those moments appear in flashbacks or reminiscing about those times. They are there, I just wanted more. This is the young adult reader in me coming out - I live for that.

MY UNEXPECTED LOVE made my heart hurt for Elle and she dealt with the aftermath of almost losing her sister and then losing best friend. Her unexpected love. But she had some growing to do and really being honest with herself. And that is what I love so much about these books - all of the love, the imperfections, and ultimately the Forevers.
