Description:
Happily ever after is part of the equation…but something’s not adding up.

Investment analyst Lexi Watts has a social life, but thanks to her demanding job, no love life. After a twelve-hour day going toe-to-toe with her demanding boss, Dan Yeager, she barely has the energy to make her usual stop by her favorite pub for a pint and dinner. Except this night is different. Tonight, the firm’s golden boy, Jack Brogan—a.k.a. the man of her dreams—is in the pub. Drunk, lonely and available.

After she takes him home and tucks him into bed, she finds herself joining him there more and more often. A dream come true, yet she can’t quite put her finger on what’s missing.

The pieces fall into place one night when she’s a victim of a mugging. And it’s not Jack who comes to her rescue, but Dan. Giving Lexi a surprising glimpse of the real man behind his volatile, irascible office persona.

And suddenly Lexi’s once nonexistent love life has become complicated beyond belief…

Product Warnings

KcLu’s Thoughts:
This is a really quick but awesomely great book. An Unexpected Love was my first book by Claire Matthews and she has made a fan out of me with this book.

Lexi Watts is an investment analyst with a social life but absolutely no love life, all thanks to her overly demanding boss, Dan Yeager.  She finds the Jack Brogan (the man of her dreams and fantasies) drunk, lonely, and available. She helps him home, and instead of helping him into the house and heading home she ends up in his bed with him. Holy smokes do they ever burn up his sheets, but she sneaks home in the middle of the night. She thinks this is gonna be her one night to remember and regret forever. Until the next night when Jack shows up at her door, and they end up burning the hell out of her sheets. They continue to burn up the sheets at both their houses, and she feels like something is just missing. One night she wakes up in his bed at midnight and realizes she misses her own bed, so she decides to walk the six blocks to the Charles Street station and take the subway home… Not the best of ideas on her part.. When she ends up hurt and mugged who comes to her rescue, not the guy she has been burning up the sheets with, but her demanding and bad tempered boss. She gets to see a side of him that opens her eyes to a whole new man. LAWD but if you thing the sex was burning sheets good with Jack.. Wait til you see how explosive the love making between her and Dan is!!!  How’s a girl to choose????

I enjoyed thoroughly enjoyed An Unexpected Love and will look for other titles by Ms. Matthews. I loved the complex characters and relationships she created. The banter between Lexi and Dan had me laughing out loud and there is a scene that had me wanting to hug both of them it touched my heart so much. This trip to HEA is a great ride!! I definitely recommend this one for a quick pick me up. It was the perfect book to read and lift my spirits after the reading the dark book I just finished. Check it out I think y’all will LOVE it!!
