Undeniably Unexpected
by J. Saman
✨ARC REVIEW✨
Undeniably Unexpected is everything I want in a summer read! British single dad, fake dating, forced proximity, and so much steam I had to fan myself. Keegan and Loomis are electric from the start, with banter that made me laugh out loud and emotional moments that completely surprised me.
Keegan is a curvy, quirky OBGYN resident and a secret romance author (relatable queen), and Loomis is the swoony British movie star suddenly juggling fatherhood and fame. When a PR disaster pushes them into a fake relationship, things spiral fast, especially once they’re stuck on a tiny island with his adorable son and a whole lot of unresolved tension.
I loved how Keegan’s struggle to live up to her family's expectations clashed with her hidden creative dreams. And Loomis? His emotional walls, unexpected softness with his son, and low-key dirty mouth? Yeah, I was gone. Their chemistry is insane, but it’s the little moments (Reginald the rooster, anyone?) that really made me fall for them.
What I Loved:
✨ Single dad swoon
✨ Secret romance writer heroine
✨ Forced proximity + fake dating
✨ Keegan’s inner conflict between medicine and writing
✨ Found family & sweet Fen moments
✨ Unexpected kink 👀
✨ “I don’t accept your breakup.” YES, MA’AM.
Keegan and Loomis are both a little lost, a little messy, and undeniably perfect for each other. This one gave me steam, laughs, and feelings, and I already can’t wait for more from this world. Especially Vander. I just know his book is going to wreck me in the best way.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💫 (4.5/5 stars)
