'An Unexpected Everything' is an wonderful second chance surprise romance between two individuals that are both incredibly engaging characters. Isabella is an independent, intelligent, successful woman who has been through some things. Weston is a sexy hunk of a man who has had fatherhood thrust at him before he was ready to be a parent. These two amazing people completely deserved their unexpected second chance.
Isabella is the eldest Cage sibling from the 'secret' family side. Just like her counter part, Aston Cage, she has had to step in and act as a parent to her younger brother and sisters. Because of this, Isabella has a very no-nonsense attitude. Unfortunately, a violent encounter with a stalker has left her mentally scarred and bruised. A visit to the family's remote small town unexpectedly brings her face to face with a man from her past. Never in a million years would she have imagined finding Weston Caldwell at Cage Lake. Weston is the only man Isabella has truly ever loved. Too bad that man irreparably broke her heart in the cruelest way possible; leaving her with no earthly explanation as to why.
Weston Caldwell grew up in Cage Lake. He is close friends with two of the Cage brothers. He never imagined that Isabella Cage Dixon was associated with his friends or his small town. The couple had dated briefly while they were attending college but an unexpected accident causing the death of both his parents left him to raised his younger brother and two sisters. After meeting up with Isabella in his home town he vows to not let her go a second time.
I totally relate to Isabella as a person. I love her quirks, her seriousness, her organizational skills, and her love of post-its, flash cards, and color coding. Her strength is truly what gets her through the life situations she has been forced to live with, a missing father, a mother who doesn't parent, a violent stalker, siblings she was never aware of, and losing the love of her life for no known reason. Weston's life situations make him completely lovable. He never hesitated to drop his life plans in order to raise his siblings and ensure that they would have a successful life. All the residents of Cage Lake consider him to be stand-offish and unapproachable in love but in truth he had already given his heart away.
'An Unexpected Everything' was a great read with some very serious life situations weaved throughout the story. I am happy that Isabella and Weston were able to finally get the happily ever after that they both deserved.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
