sassysono 's review for:
Didn't Expect You
by Claudia Burgoa
A sweet, slow burn.
Nate is the twin brother of Ford ( the hero of book 1) and Nyx is the older sister of Persy ( the heroine of book 1).
Nate is 35. He lives an adrenalin-filled lifestyle when not running the business side of his and his brother's investment company. Since being deceived by his ex-fiancee 5 years ago he's been a bit of a playboy, but that aspect is getting old. Now that Ford has found love Nate is a bit jealous and realises that without his brother he will be lonely.
Nyx is almost 30. A successful lawyer, she's the level-headed, 5-year-planner of her family. Her life seems to revolve around work, putting out fires and problem-solving for her family. She has never had a serious relationship and she is starting to see what she might be missing.
Nyx and Nate become friends through their siblings, but despite a mutual physical attraction, they have been warned by their sister and brother not to get involved, because a fling that ends awkwardly would make things difficult for future family gatherings.
When Nyx unexpectedly discovers she is pregnant from a forgettable one-night stand with a work colleague that occurred a few weeks before they met, Nyx knows that Nate could only ever be a friend.
Nate really likes Nyx and wants to help her, especially now, when she discovers her pregnancy the same week she loses her job and decides to sell her home. He offers her a place to stay and unconditional support while she makes a plan for her life moving forward.
There is a lovely, gradual deepening of feelings between the MC'S. Both have issues in their pasts that need closure. They are mature in their approach to their burgeoning relationship. They treat each other with love and respect without putting any pressure on defining their relationship until they both feel they can give 100% to the other person. I liked it.
This book contains a mildly descriptive love scene.
