Unexpected by Laylah Abrams – Review by Jennifer Gordon

Unexpected by Laylah Abrams
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This was an enjoyable and engaging romance with a modern fairytale feel to it which kept me happily turning the pages. Claire Morgan is a Celebutante who plays the air-headed-heiress that the gossip sites expect, to perfection. People are much more interested in her designer gowns and love life, then they are about her degrees in business and computer science. Nick is a struggling artist who works as a waiter and who’s worrying that his grad school scholarship is in jeopardy, due to his creative slump. Claire and Nick meet when Claire and her friends arrive at the restaurant where Nick works, at closing time. The pair discover they have a lot in common and they start what they thought, would be a meaningless fling. Nick spurs Claire towards the tech career she’s always wanted and she inspires his art. However, they are both too good at putting on an act and at hiding their growing feelings, and will need to trust in one another if there relationship is to develop and last. I loved the chemistry between Nick and Claire, and how their relationship developed throughout the story. The storyline flowed well and I found this to be a heartwarming and entertaining romance.
