Review: The continuation of this series that had a movie made based on the first book. This is the second book and it is truly spectacular. Love has a way of finding you, even when you least expect it or want it to. I'm amazed at the writing and at how the development of characters internally and externally is so profound. I couldn't recommend this book and series more!
Warning: There's sexual content that I highly recommend skipping over as you read this, as I myself did.
There's definitely use of foul language throughout the book so if you can't handle that, don't read it.

I am crazy in love with this series, especially Harrison!! He is the most sensual rocker I have read and he's in serious competition with KK for my all time favorite rocker! While I adored Liam and Forever My Girl, Harrison captured my heart! His character was so deep and multi-facitated. He knew what he wanted and wasn't afraid to fall for the woman he knew may never love him back. He was an amazing father and showed love and devotion for two girls that desperately needed him. Katelyn was so scared to open her heart to another man after losing her first love and husband.
Heidi is an awesome storyteller!! The story utilized alternate POV, which allowed you to experience both Katelyn and Harrison on a first hand basis. Also, there were flashback to allow you to see the special love that Katelyn and Mason shared. The entire book flowed well and there was not one sentence that was wasted.
If you love rockers, you MUST read this book!! If you love an amazing, warm hearted, and sexy love story, you MUST read this book! While it could be a stand alone, I highly recommend reading Forever my Girl first. I am WISHING, WISHING there will be another book in this series!
I need her like I need to breathe.
From the moment I saw her eyes, I knew she was the one for me, the one that is going to make my life complete.
I give him everything. My heart. My body. My soul. My life.

I wanted to give this book a higher rating. I still do. But I can't ignore the fact that the only thing that really worked well for it was Harrison. He was a great guy, a refreshing character and his relationship with all the kids was heartwarming.
And yes, this is a book about a single dad. I love those so much. Harrison is a rockstar and the father of an eight-year-old boy, who he loves very much. The mother is not in the picture. Never really was. Her sole contribution was dropping off the baby, nine months after she drugged and took advantage of Harrison. Then there's Katelyn, a mutual friend, mother of two, and also someone who lost her husband almost a year ago. Harrison wants to be with her but she's not over her husband and has already made assumptions about the kind of guy Harrison is, based on the tattoos and, you know, the rock band thing.
A very unfair, and wrong, assessment, if you ask me. Harrison is a sweetheart. He's quiet and shy and somewhat broody, but so considerate. How could someone not like him? But other than him, not many things about the novel worked.
The writing, for example, was okay for the most part. But then there were times that it lacked details and you couldn't picture the scenes because of how vague it was. Some scenes were a bit abrupt. There were also a lot of flashbacks. Yes, they did give us useful information and helped flesh out the characters more, but some of those flashbacks could have just been a paragraph of someone thinking instead of a whole scene.
Also, since I didn't read book 1 (I tried and couldn't get past chapter 2, because it was ridiculous), I didn't give a shit about the many things that were added for the benefit of the fans of book 1. I get why those things were added but I think we could have done without all that, focusing on the current story.
I also got really annoyed with Katelyn sometimes. It wasn't too bad, but she didn't treat Harrison very nicely. I also don't think Harrison, in the end got the full apology that he deserved. And, last but not least, the book fell into the 'same old-same old' category with the conflict near the end. It wasn't original. A sub-plot added later on also felt rushed, like the author wanted to add more to the book but abandoned it in the middle, so it was left incomplete.
But despite all that, I did enjoy the book, largely because of Harrison. I loved him on his own, as a character, as a dad to Quinn and as a friend/father-figure to the twins. If it wasn't for him, the book wouldn't have been half as good.
That's all for this review. I wouldn't call the book a "must read" but if you're in the mood for something light and are a fan of the genre, you should check it out.

My Unexpected Forever is the second book in the Beaumont Series, this time featuring Harrison and Katelyn, best friends of Liam and Josie from Forever My Girl. To me, this story is about finding love after loss, whether it be from a death as in Katelyn’s case, or from a loss in trust/faith in humanity from being used and manipulated the way Harrison was. This is one of my favorite books to reread, because the world building and character development is top notch. I love the authenticity of the emotions in the book, the emphasis placed on relationships with the children and friends, while still showing a realistic evolution of the romance (even though I wish Katelyn wouldn’t have held back so much at times lol). Harrison is honestly a benchmark male character, and his relationship with Quinn is heartwarming, and that just bleeds over to how he handles the twins and Katelyn, for that matter, with empathy and compassion, being able to love them without feeling threatened by the lingering presence of Mason’s memory. I also loved how Katelyn’s relationship with Quinn evolved. Many books use kids as a token or scene ornament, but this book shows that kids have real human emotions too, and makes them central to the story. The whole band rearranges their touring life around the children in this series. Don’t get me wrong, the book’s not all sunshine and rainbows. There are twists and drama and emotions and tears, but it is sooo worth it in the end!!
