*I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.*"He would get my body, but he'd never get my heart."Unexpected was a shake up to the rock star meets ordinary girl storyline. Blair is in-your-face and looking for no strings whereas West has had enough of groupie hook ups and he is searching for a connection with that special someone. They meet in a bar and the chemistry is undeniable but Blair makes it clear it is a one time offer. That is until West shows her what she has been missing."By the end of the week, one of us would be broken and I was determined that it wouldn't be me. I couldn't do it again. West didn't seem like a man who was easy to come back from . . . if you ever came back at all."At the beginning I didn't take to Blair, I get that she had a tough exterior and she was this brash girl but it was a bit of a turn off for me and I didn't warm to her. West was a sweetie from the get go, he had hit rock bottom and he needed to stay on the straight and narrow, his life and career depended on it. But something about Blair spoke to him and he couldn't let her go after the night they shared. I did feel the chemistry between them and their first night was hot, it was just the instalove that followed after that I wasn't so keen on. They had a week to spend together, for West to change Blair's mind about attachments and how a relationship could be good for both of them. And Blair had a pretty big decision to make towards the end.If you love bad boy rockers then I have no doubt you will fall head over heels for West. It was an easy read and plenty of drama was thrown into the short story. The author's writing flowed well and West definitely had me on side, I felt like Blair needed greater character development to enable me to really get her. I felt we only skimmed the surface where she was concerned. I wasn't totally hooked, so I'm unsure if I will follow the rest of their journey but Unexpected was a pleasant read all the same and you should check it out for yourself. ~Ava
