SYNOPSIS:
When my grandmother found out she didn’t have long to live, she embarked on a crazy trip—jumping out of airplanes and scuba diving with sharks.
After I repeatedly voiced my concern, Gram blocked me—her own grandson—on text and social media, leaving me only her travel companion Eleanor’s number.
Eleanor started sending me pictures of Gram’s adventures. At first she seemed nice, but when I attempted to persuade her to talk some sense into her friend, she told me where I could stick my advice. After that, photos arrived with snarky comments, and Eleanor and I got into it on more than one occasion.
When I heard Gram’s upcoming plans were more dangerous than ever, I hopped on a plane.
Since I arrived late, I headed to the bar for a drink, figuring I’d surprise her in the morning.
To my delight, I met a gorgeous woman looking for a no-strings-attached night. Nora was just what I needed. She invited me back to her room, telling me to give her a ten-minute head start. But when I went to pay her bar tab, I realized how much she’d had to drink. As much as I wanted to ignore it, I couldn’t. So I stood Nora up.
I knew she’d be pissed, but I also knew I’d never see her again.
Except never came a little early. Namely, the next morning when I went to meet my grandmother and her evil-spinster friend. Because old Eleanor turned out to be young Nora from last night. And if I thought the woman disliked me before, that was nothing compared to how ticked-off she was now. Or how unhappy she was going to be that their party of two was about to become a party of three.

REVIEW:
Something Unexpected is a very fitting title for this book from Vi Keeland. A deeply emotional and steamy new contemporary romance, Keeland kept me guessing with a story that tugged at my heartstrings. Keeland’s masterful storytelling captured a range of emotions from heart-wrenching to heartwarming. I cried, I sighed, I swooned and I smiled my way through this poignant and passionate love story. I don’t want to give any spoilers away—I think readers should go into this story totally blind.
Keeland’s masterful, magical storytelling was showcased fantastically here. I was completely swept up in Nora and Beck’s unforgettable, unputdownable love story. Well-crafted characters, intense chemistry and a compelling story made Something Unexpected a powerful and emotionally charged romance that has landed on my list of top favorites for the year. Five smooches from me for Something Unexpected by Vi Keeland!
