Inspired by a true story, a love torn apart by World War II brings two people together decades later.
"Come on. Shut me up, Adrian. Or are you worried you can’t do it?" (p.227)
First, I would like to thank the author and Grey's Promotions for providing me with an advanced reader copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
In the wake of a broken engagement and the death of her grandmother, Sutton arrives in Boston determined to learn more about the man her grandmother had loved and lost so many years ago. Sutton and Adrian, the owner of a sports bar, clash immediately. Adrian has no patience for Sutton’s attitude. Unfortunately for him, his grandfather is the man Sutton came from New York City to meet.
Dani Grimes wrote Unexpected Proof based on a family story of love lost during World War II. In this touching reimagining of how her great uncle’s story could have been written, Dani Grimes has created the emotional foundation for Sutton and Adrian’s love story. My own grandmother had Alzheimer’s dementia, and the way in which Ray’s character is portrayed is raw, delicate, and realistic.
The banter between Sutton and Adrian evolves from genuine, irritated frustration to sexual frustration to something more. Their slow-burn, enemies-to-lovers, cautious journey to love is so fun and their sexual chemistry is exquisite.
Unexpected Proof is a brilliant opener to the Boston series, and I am really looking forward to reading Unexpected Offer, which releases in just 2 weeks!
