The wedding may be off, but the honeymoon is on. . .
Merilee Fallon has been planning her wedding to Matt Townsend since she was seven, and now the big day is only two days away. But suddenly she has an unexpectedly serious case of cold feet. So she shocks both Matt and herself--and calls off the wedding.
They may not get their happily ever after, but both Merilee and Matt agree they shouldn't let their non-refundable honeymoon go to waste. So they take the Mexican Riviera cruise--as friends. It's Merilee's chance to be adventurous, and maybe even put her newfound freedom to the test. But she's about to discover that sometimes there's nothing more arousing than first love--especially on a cruise ship where there are no rules and anything goes. . .


Yours, Unexpectedly (Wild Ride To Love #4) Reviews


  • Lori

    I'm really on the fence about this book...

    I wondered what Merilee's problem was, and it seems as if she's been pregnant this whole time. Or did I miss something? Because I don't remember M&M having unprotected sex (or it being mentioned) in the past 3 books. But if you try to tell me that she passes a pregnancy test after 1 time of unprotected sex on a 7-day cruise and comes up pregnant before the cruise is over (verified by doctor's pregnancy tests on-board the ship), I'll scream. So we're either supposed to believe that, like her parents, the birth control failed or... Perhaps the idea is that she got off the pill after her surgery or she was on antibiotics, which nulls the pill. So any sex that she and Matt had "bareback" as they were used to doing with her on the pill was unprotected. OK, maybe I can live with that, as I work it out as I write this review...

    BUT... OK, I see now that Merilee's been suffering from the Who Am I and Am I Really In Love syndrome. Matt & Merilee have been each others almost sole/soul support for the past 14 years. It's obvious they're in a groove before this book even begins. So I can see that Merilee would reconsider if Matt is the Love Of Her Life after seeing what happens to her sisters in the previous 3 books. Are they in love or just used to one another?

    And when we see Matt's POV (in 3rd person as opposed to Merilee's 1st person - still jars me), it makes even more sense. Matt has been holding part of himself back, too, going with the flow. Both of them have been playing "nice" to get the attention and affection from others (their family) that they crave. In doing so, it looks as if Matt's the one who's most pushed his own interests in the background, to be there for Merilee and his Mom. It's easier to go along then not. And Matt's afraid that he's like his father, who physically abused his mother (very bad temper and quick fists) and then ran out on them when Matt was very young.

    So both Matt and Merilee have to discover themselves. OK.

    Here are the problems with the rest of this book:
    1. They both decide to go on their non-refundable honeymoon cruise. Even though they decided separately and had the skirmish at the airport, they know they're going to share a room. Seems odd to me, even if you go with the roommate theory and separate the beds.

    2. Yes, they've known each other for 14 years, but what they're discovering about one another and themselves individually is WAAAAY TOO BIG for 7 days and this one book. Especially since they can't stay away from one another or keep their hands off each other for more than a day or so.

    3. The pregnancy is just too convenient, and IMO, not a good way to resolve M&M's issues. Even though the author tries to make it so that they both acknowledge the issue and seem to both overcome that as the sole reason to get married... it just seems as if they're setting themselves up for more heartache and heartbreak. They still have a long way to go, and the baby only complicates matters. Again, it forces an intimacy and commitment between these 2 people. I don't know why the author couldn't just leave them as dating and seeing where it goes, rather than complicate it all with pregnancy.

    What I *did* like was Matt's talk with Nav - that he reached out to another man for advice. But this is only a start.

    I also liked the full circle with the sisters and mother. While I still felt the author put too much emphasis on the parents' mistakes, it did seem as if everyone was trying to take their fair share of the responsibility.

    Just not sure that THIS is the book that should have ended the series. In some ways, each book after book #1 went a little downhill.

    ~19 de junho de 2014 ~

    Confesso que eu não esperava muito do último livro da série Wild Ride to Love (ou Irmãs Fallon, ou, ainda, série De repente). Talvez por ter me decepcionado com o livro anterior, eu comecei a leitura não dando muito para ele, mas a Susan Fox conseguiu me fazer amar M&M!

    Merilee, a irmã mais nova entre as Fallon, aparece muito pouco nos livros anteriores da série, e tudo o que sabemos sobre ela esteve doente, namora Matt desde sempre, e juntos eles formam M&M, uma coisa só, e estão prestes a se casar.

    Talvez por isso, pelo enredo inicial dessa história não ter sido tão interessante, eu não tenha dado tanta atenção para esse livro. E ele conseguiu me surpreender.

    Por precisar estudar muito por conta das aulas que perdeu na faculdade, Merilee convocou as outras três irmãs Fallon para planejar seu casamento – como vimos nos livros anteriores – e com todas elas falando sobre seus novos parceiros, e compartilhando suas experiências sexuais, Merilee começa a repensar todo o seu relacionamento com Matt, que não havia nada de explosivo.

    "Eles iam fazer um sexo quente. Apimentado. Nada daquele sexo confortável. Matt e eu já éramos amantes havia cinco anos e nunca, nem uma vez, fizemos sexo debaixo do chuveiro. O que isso queria dizer?"

    É aí que o que seria uma viagem de lua-de-mel, se transforma em uma viagem de reencontro, de redescoberta.

    Eu não leio sinopses, então foi uma surpresa quando a irmã que tinha seu destino traçado desde o início da série, de repente, cancela o casamento.

    "Seu belo casamento, o dia mais feliz de suas vidas, tinha se transformado em nada. Na verdade, talvez toda a sua relação de catorze anos tivesse se transformado em nada."

    Todos os livros da série mostram uma insegurança das personagens, por um motivo ou por outro, e eu acho que isso combinou muito bem com M&M. Eles têm uma história de muitos anos, e eu entendi porque eles se tornaram uma coisa só, e também entendi perfeitamente os receios do Matt em relação ao sexo.

    Já Marilee, ela é muito ‘menininha’, e talvez isso tenha me irritado um pouco. Matt não, ele é só amor!

    "Mas essa não era Merilee. Ela não era esse tipo de garota. E tinha acabado de provar esse fato fugindo."

    Eles tinham muito amor, mas faltava algo que é preciso em qualquer tipo de relacionamento: conversa. Nem um deles sabia ou entendia o que o outro queria, e a viagem foi a oportunidade perfeita para que um dissesse isso ao outro.

    O erotismo desse livro me agradou mais do que dos outros livros da série. Acho que a coisa fluiu mais naturalmente com eles, porque eles já eram um casal.

    "Meu Deus, você é gostosa demais. Você me deixa louco."

    Uma das coisas que mais me incomodou na história?


    Não tenho o que dizer da capa. As capas dessa série são mil vezes melhor que as originais.

    A diagramação é simples, e os capítulos se alternam entre ponto de vista da Merilee em primeira pessoa e ponto de vista do Matt em terceira pessoa. Não há nem uma sinalização que indique essa troca, mas você não fica perdido por muito tempo durante a leitura.

    Eu dei 4,5 estrelas para o livro, e depois desse, eu mal posso esperar para ler outros livros da Susan Fox.

  • Addictive Passions

    After reading His, Unexpectedly I was so excited to read Merilee and Matt’s story. I mean who doesn’t love to read about childhood sweethearts? I was disappointed in Yours, Unexpectedly, the minute I hit chapter 2. The conclusion to Fox’s Wild to Ride series in which features all 4 Fallon sisters find love was highly disappointing to me. In Yours, Unexpectedly we are immersed in the youngest daughter’s love life. It seems Merilee Fallon and Matt Townsend have been joined at the hip since sixth grade and have been planning their marriage for just as long. The time has come at the beginning of the book for their long expected marriage, but why would a marriage start at the beginning of a romance novel you ask? It doesn’t.
    Just two days before the big event, Merilee gets more than cold feet when she witnesses her sister’s passionate love affairs with the men in their lives. Where was that spark that she and Matt used to have? And could they ever get it back? And can she ever be that passionate with someone other than Matt? Well, it’s time to find out. Yes, she still loves Matt and knows he is her soul mate, but their sex life is dull and uninspired. In short, it is passionless. Using one of the cruise tickets that was supposed to be for their honeymoon, Merilee sets out on a soul search of what she really wants out of life and out of her future husband, and it just wouldn’t be a story without Matt using the other ticket. And it just would not be a story without communication problems. Matt figures he can calm down enough on a cruise ship so when he gets back, he can deal with Merilee without violence, not towards her of course which we are constantly reminded of throughout the book.
    It seems Matt’s father had abused his mother whenever and wherever he could and Matt has vowed to be nothing like his dad to the point where he has been meekly going along with whatever anyone wants, thus sacrificing his dreams. On the beginning of the cruise Merilee and Matt decide to go their separate ways and do their own thing while still technically calling each other bf/gf.
    We see Merilee getting jealous because Matt is talking to a woman that is not her, we see Matt doing the same. We see Merilee and Matt eventually get in on dressed up as two different people, and we eventually see Merilee getting pregnant and Matt wanting to marry her. And then we see Merilee still undecided after all this if Matt really loves her of if he just wants to marry her for the baby’s sake. I mean COME ON!!!!!
    Ok, so their sex life was in a rut but to break up over it without even talking about it? And how can you NOT know that Matt was in love with you Merilee by the end of the book? He had changed his whole life just to suit you? (Yes, I know I’m talking to a character). And let’s not forget about Matt. Who has ever met a guy like Matt who is a total pushover not just for his girlfriend, but for everyone in his life? Yes, it is sweet to forgo your wishes for somebody else’s. But in moderation, and sometimes not even that, once is enough for most people.
    Ok, so I probably don’t have to give you my score/recommendation for this book. But I’ll give it to you anyway. I hated it. Although hate is a strong word, I really didn’t like it very much.

  • Mary

    I loved this book. This is the second book I have read in this series and I will be reading the other two as well. It about a couple who has had a long relationship and has gotten into a rut. Through a lot of pain and changes they have come out the other side with an even better love for each other.

  • Hiker

    Could not finish. h and her family really not likeable. H should run away from her as fast as he can. Sorry I wasted my time and money on this book. Most immature set of characters I've ever tried to read about.

    My review is up at the link...and I have to say, I loved my own review! Tell me what you think?

    A good story and a nice completion to the series.

    This story follows along the lines of some of the newer themes in marriage advice books. It talks about how critical it is to find yourself, what you think, what you want, what you need, what you desire prior to you committing to a lifelong partner. I was encouraged by the author’s exploration of this theme.

    However, I found the story somewhat repetitive, continually circling around the fact that this couple was “meant” for each other - M&M. I was also put off a little by how naive the couple was, particularly about sex, despite finishing 3rd yr university and being 21.

    It’s not that the couple in the story were uniquely naive, it’s just that, as a recurring theme, couples don’t seem to appreciate or educate themselves about what it takes to sustain themselves in a long term marriage.

    Some suggested more academic reading:

    1. Why Isn’t this Marriage Enough; Sharon Pope

    2. Passionate Marriage: Keeping Love and Intimacy Alive in Committed Relationships; David Schnarch

    3. The All-or-Nothing Marriage; Eli J. Finkel

    3.6?

    I wanted to read this book for so long, in fact, I made it #1. Maybe I was a teeny bit disappointed, but it was still a good book. I'm glad they worked out their problems and I had a feeling Merilee got pregnant when she asked her friend if she felt okay after eating the restaurant food (before the doctor confirmed it).

  • Kelly Greenwood

    Easy reading romance, apparently part of a series. Picked it out because much of the mushy story took place on a cruise of the Mayan Riviera. Do not plan in reading the earlier books in the series. Story was an OK choice for a ringette weekend read.

    this book filthy and literally just smut, i didn’t realize it was a series tho and i started with #4, oops

    Yours, Unexpectedly by Susan Fox
    Grade: C

    “We’ve always been M&M and I don’t even know who I am as a person. We need to be on our own. I guess we need to find out who Merilee and Matt are as individuals.”

    Merilee Fallon has been in love with Matt since she was seven years old. They have always been together and thought that they were soul mates. Now at twenty one they have decided to get married and Merilee’s three older sisters come back to Vancouver to plan the wedding. On their trips back home each sister meets a man and falls madly in love. Seeing the passion in her sister’s relationship Merilee starts to doubt her and Matt and decides to call off her wedding and try to find who she is all alone.

    Matt is blindsided when the girl he has loved his entire life calls off their wedding just days before they were supposed to walk down the aisle. With the wedding off Matt and Merilee still have their Mexican honeymoon that can’t be refunded and both decide to still go alone. Both are shocked when they meet at the airport but neither will back down and before they know it they are on their honeymoon together not as a couple. Matt and Merilee agree to do their own thing and by doing so find new sides to themselves that they never knew about. As the cruise goes on and they each continue to grow as individuals but neither can deny that they love each other and maybe being an individual doesn’t mean they can’t be together.

    Yours, Unexpectedly is the fourth book in Susan Fox’s Wild Ride to Love series. Each book involves a different Fallon sister making her way back to Vancouver for Merilee’s wedding. This book is a little different from the others in the series because it take place after the wedding is called off and takes place mostly on a cruise ship going around Mexico. This book is also very different because the main characters have been a couple for fourteen years, have grown up together and have never been with anyone else. I found this book very easy to get into and I didn’t feel lost at all jumping into the last book without reading the first three.

    Merilee has had some health problems in the last few months that have lead to her maybe never being able to have children and made her want to rush her marriage to Matt. I wasn’t a big fan of Merilee and really disliked how she handled breaking off her wedding with Matt. I felt like it took forever for her to be honest with not only Matt but with herself about what she wanted out of her relationship and life with Matt. I found myself thinking that they way she acted proved that she was too young to get married and not mature enough. She slowly redeemed herself by the end of the book but it took to long and made it very hard to feel sorry for her and to get into the story.

    I liked Matt but I also had issues with him. Matt is very easy going and has kind of let Merilee plan their life together and doesn’t voice what he really likes. Matt has planned to be a teacher because Merilee but that’s not his true passion but it takes this big horrible event for him to be honest with himself about what he really wants out of life. As soon as Matt finally starts to grow a backbone and standing up for himself is when I started to like him and the book but again it takes so long for this to happen. I don’t think Matt and Merilee should have been getting married so young but I am happy that they did take a break to find themselves and reconnect.

    I liked this story but I didn’t love it. I found this book kind of predictable which made it boring and parts and didn’t make me jump to read it. I liked the main characters but they were a little too goody-goody for me and I needed them to have a little more personality. As I mentioned before I have not read the rest of this series and sadly I don’t have a desire to do so after reading this book.

    It is the unexpected that makes the heart beat faster, the desire stir a little longer and the longing drive the emotional experience. It is when the expected becomes the unexpected that lives are changed forever.

    Matt and Merilee have been each other’s soul mates since they were seven years old. Now in college and preparing to finally get married, unexpected questions arise and fate throws a curve ball. A chance observation of her sister’s new fiancé pouring his heart out and admitting his true devotion makes Merilee wonder about her relationship with Matt. Is it all too convenient, do they really want the same things, and are they really meant for each other?

    Merilee’s doubts about their love and their future cancel their long awaited wedding and sends Matt into a total spin. He has never been without her and she has never known another man. Where do they go from here? Well… there is the non-refundable honeymoon cruise! Making concessions so the other can go, Matt and Merilee both find themselves on a luxury cruise to Mexico agreeing to share a cabin as friends. Okay?

    This is the story of two people who are “so right for each other” going through the “so wrong for each other” phase only to discover they really aren’t the people they thought they were. With time and a change of scenery, Merilee and Matt rediscover each other, their wants, their desires, their futures. Merilee is solid, stoic, devoted while Matt simply is in love with Merilee. He wants nothing more in life that to be by her side forever. Her dreams are his dreams until he has time to rethink his dreams.

    What they took for granted now becomes a new experience, a new adventure and a new desire emotionally and physically. Their dreams aren’t really what they want but what they settled for, their passion is not what they want but what they learned as young teens and never allowed to change as they became adults.

    This is book four in the Wild Ride to Love Series by Susan Fox and it is as good as the very first book. This is startling, sensual, sexy, passionate tale of two lovers finding their way back to each other as new people.

    No one writes a love story like Susan Fox; it is gripping, entertaining, intelligent; the dialogue is so real you can hear it in your head. If you have not read the previous books, that is okay, this one stands alone as well but try and get the first three to see the culmination of the lives of four completely different sisters. Don’t miss this -- as with all the others it ends with a smile!

    Who says soul mates should get married and live happily ever after? Not Merilee!

    Merilee Fallon has always loved Matt Townsend and now days before her wedding she is rethinking forever with him. As the days approach to her wedding, her sisters are showing up to be part of her happy day. The problem is so is their love lives. During their travels to the wedding all the sisters have found love. Now faced with the passion and fire of her sister’s new lives, Merilee gets a glimpse to what is missing in hers. Determined to not settle for a mediocre life she calls off the wedding.

    Matt just got blindsided. The love of his life just broke his heart and now he is unsure what to do. He thought they were happy and were always meant to be together. Now the other half of his soul has been taken away and he is stuck with a non-refundable honeymoon. What’s a man to do? Go the Mexican Riviera and take some time to think.

    No longer lovers and barely friends, they are now taking their ex-honeymoon cruise together. Old feelings don’t die easily though. Jealously and passion is ignited and with the new feelings come some unexpected and exhilarating results. This is one steamy and sexy cruise!

    This is book #4 in the Wild Ride to Love series, and more than likely the last one, since all the sisters have found love. While I bet the series would be great read start to finish, I have only read this one. I usually don’t do that, but after reading some reviews, people were commenting that this can be read as a standalone. This is very true. I absolutely enjoyed this book without having read the prior stories. So don’t let that stop you from picking up this gem.

    Ms. Fox writes a believable novel of two people finding what was missing in their relationship. At times it had me looking at my own relationship with a different light. I enjoyed the play of emotions and the journey they took to reunite. This book is not to be missed. It is a lovely read with the perfect amount of sizzling heat. A great book is one that draws you in and you experience the emotions right along with the characters. You will find that in Yours, Unexpectedly. So don’t sit back and wait, get this book today!

    Yours, Unexpectedly By Susan Fox
    M&M were always together. Besides being next door neighbors growing up they liked each other. She's got 3 older sisters and parents. Matt only has his mom now and she's overbearing. Merilee has all her family around her for her wedding weekend.
    Problem is she sees how her other sisters and their dates are acting and she does NOT feel the spark so she calls off the wedding. They are able to either cancel or rearrange the day for one of her other sisters to go ahead with their marriage.
    The cruise can not be canceled so he decides he'll just get away from it all. She also can use the time to recoup and discover who she really is. They come to an agreement to both stay in the cabin just not be together. As they go on outings from the cruise ship they find themselves really finding out about the new person.
    She's gone and changed not only her hair but things she never would've done otherwise. He's also changed his hair and dress and they can now listen to what the other is saying.
    Both of them accept drinks from others, dance with others and do things out of their comfort zone, very adventurous. And they discover a new kind of sex.
    He had brought her to the doctors in the past cuz of her extreme pain. They found out she needed some surgery and chances are she'd never be able to conceive.
    Merilee is staying in touch with her sisters to gain confidence and ask their opinions about how to discover her new self and Matt.
    Everything that is happening can be explained by the chaos theory.
    I love where they have been on the cruise-to places I'll never get to visit. Great details on what they find. Everything has changed, they no longer think they want to be just teachers anymore but something they've dreamed of forever when they were very young.
    Now a health problem, could that mean more problems for them getting back together?
    I didn't realize this was a book with others associated with it. At the back of this book are excerpts of several other that go along with the series. Now I just have to go get them, the series is not going to disappoint by any means.

    I received a copy of Yours Unexpectedly by Susan Fox in exchange for an honest review. This is book four in the Wild Ride to Love series, but I didn’t feel like I was missing too much from not reading the first three. I could tell it was in a series because the writing makes it seem like the readers are already well acclimated with the supporting cast, but there weren’t any details that I really felt I was missing. This book focuses on Merilee and her upcoming to wedding to Matt. The couple, often referred to as M&M, have been together forever and have a very safe and comfortable relationship. But Merilee starts to get cold feet when she sees her sister’s leading exciting lives with their men, and wonders if there is more beyond the confines of safe. Merilee decides to call the wedding off, and while Matt is shocked and hurt, he understands the way she is feeling. He too, has been having second thoughts on their nuptials. Not wanting to let their honeymoon cruise through the Mexican Riviera go to waste, the M&M decide to go together – as friends instead of husband and wife. The cruise helps them both discover new things about themselves and each other, and could be a major turning point in the floundering relationship.

    I thought the book was okay. Some things just got a bit too silly for me, like when Merilee and Matt kept mistaking the other for someone else. Like Merilee dancing with a guy that she finds so arresting and handsome, and Matt seeing a girl so utterly beautiful and striking, but they don’t realize it is actually their counterpart. After years and years of dating....really? And it kept happening! That just got too strange for me. I could understand both the feelings of Merilee and Matt and could understand their actions to a point, but the ending with the SPOILER! pregnancy unraveled my interest again. Overall I thought it was a decent story, but just too predictable and unreal for me to really get invested in.

  • Romancing the Book

    Reviewed By~Marissa

    Let me start by telling you that I cried through most of this book. I had the misfortune to be in a similar (if different) situation at the same time I was reading Yours, Unexpectedly and I kept feeling Marilee’s pain. That feeling you get way down in your gut that flips your stomach and sends it crashing down, as if you are experiencing the pain first-hand. I also felt her desire to want someone who wants her so badly he’d drive across the continent for her, fight for her and their relationship, and just take her in his arms and kiss all the air out of her. As a result, I identified completely with the characters and found them to be heartbreakingly genuine.

    The story itself was well written and, while I’ve never been on a cruise, I could sense that the ship and its activities (right down to singles on the make for a “cruise relationship”) were spot on, as were the descriptions of Puerto Vallarta and Cabo San Lucas.

    The story was wonderfully written from two points of view – Merilee in a first-person narrative, and Matt in a second-person description. I do wonder why the author did not have both characters speaking in first-person or using the typical “he” and “she” voice-overs. It seemed strange to keep going from one to the other.

    All in all, it was a very nice read. This is more of your typical romance story (big on emotions) with less sex than I think most of us have gotten used to reading. There are a couple of sex scenes, and they are fairly hot as Merilee and Matt try to spice up their vanilla lives, but this book is all about the passion of romance and love. And why we shouldn’t just settle for what we have rather than what we want.

  • Andrea (mrsaubergine)

    3.5 stars. Although I enjoyed this, the characters annoyed me so much - Merrilee especially (and what kind of name is that? I found myself singing Row, Row, Row Your Boat as I read, lol!) - that I had to take half a star off what might have otherwise been a four-star read.

    I hadn't read the previous three books in this series, outlining the other sisters and their romances, but enough was reiterated here for me to get the gist of what had gone on before. Merrilee and Matt, both now 21, were about to get married, but she had second thoughts and called it all off. Independent of each other, they both decide to use the nonrefundable honeymoon cruise as a holiday to rest and think, but then find themselves sharing a cabin, and falling back in love.

    It's a great premise but my problem started at the idea they had been together as a couple since they were seven - yep, seven. How realistic is that? And unfortunately they both acted like they were still seven most of the time. Matt was my favourite of the pair, but he was such a doormat that even he started to get on my nerves. The smexy times were very hot, though, and the HEA seemed to be quite realistic. I just didn't like the immaturity, but maybe that's 21-year-olds for you? The cover's lovely, though.

  • Karen

    This was SUCH a good ending to this series!

    There were a couple of places where the two of them do get a bit overly talky about their feelings, but it fit with the romantic crisis they find themselves in. I particularly liked the way Merilee's family (each sister having starred in the three previous books) is worked into Merilee's soul-searching. Fox's characters are just so... well, okay-- quirky, but normal. *Real.* (Nor does she disappoint on the steam factor in this one, either.)

    Have a box of tissues ready-- I think I spent the last 20 pages of this in tears for one reason or another (bad AND good, I promise).

    I read this because I enjoyed Kat and Nav's book so much (sister #2, LOVE, UNEXPECTEDLY); sadly book #3 disappeared from the library before I could read it. I'm DEFINITELY going back for it, as well as the first, which is written under a different name (Susan Lyons, SEX DRIVE-- I'm thinking... steamier? Oh, MY.).

    Emotional rollercoaster, but so SO worth it.

  • Tamera

    Ok, maybe I am just too old (gulp) to relate to the characters in this story, but I did not like this book. I didn't like the characters - they all felt so immature to me! From the main characters, M & M (yes, they actually refer to themselves this way) to the family who really seemed to ignor Merilee until "her" story (this is not based on reading any of the other books - I jumped into the middle of a series and it felt like it), they all seemed ... annoying. After loving each other since you were 7, suddenly you want a GRAND ROMANTIC GESTURE??? Suddenly you need to "find out who you really are"? Eating out solo in a restaurant is a big step to independance? Sorry, you lost me. Don't get me started on the CLICHED end - really??? I saw the preganancy LONG before you did, and I HATE that plot device. So, I have no interest in any of the sisters' stories, and I lost interst in your story 1/2 through the book.

  • Marianne Stehr

    Not my regular genre, this book was just ok for me. I have not read the prior three novels in the series and therefore I may have been behind before I started, but this is a romance story that is interesting but somewhat consumed with the "sappy" and to me it was one of the reasons I don't read romance, too much sex that doesn't apply to the story and to much predictable fantasy that mirrors nothing close to real life. However, that being said, there is a plot, there is a storyline and I believe if read in order there is probably some interest that would consume the reader to know what happens next. If I was a romance reader I would start over from book one and give it a whirl, certainly not a 1 star book, but to me nowhere close to a 5 star.

    Fox has done a great job depicting the love story of two people who had started to take each other for granted and must discover what it is that makes them true soul mates. I've enjoyed the whole series, but this one and the first one, "Love, Unexpectedly", are my favorite. Highly recommend to people who enjoy contemporary romance.

    #DeRepenteODesejo Is the most romantic book in the series, but in my view, does not bring the most endearing characters. For although he greatly enjoyed the couple M & M in the other books, when their story is the main realized I had not so many emotions as I thought. Marilee and Matt are median characters who did not get to wake up that something more in me. -

    Last book in the wild ride series. I liked these books a lot. Book four was my least favorite only because I got frustrated with Merilee. But in her defense she was the 21year old and acted like it. I'd recommend this series to anyone that likes romance books!

    really enjoyed yours, unexpectedly. as always, susan fox writes a sensuous and warm character driven drama that holds you in a warm embrace from start to finish.

  • Laura

    She was super whiny and this was kind of a makeover of the one with Kat and Naveen. Otherwise ok.

  • Tiffany Stout

    Great series. I love getting to know each sister.

    Had no punch really throughout the book and fizzled in the end whatever was there.
