You know how sometimes you read a book from a debut author and you don’t really know how it’s gonna shake out? Yeah this isn’t gonna be one of those times! I. Loved. This. Story!!!!Seriously, from the first chapter I loved Erin, she had spunk. Here’s this girl who seemingly has it all together (don’t we all wish we did?) and she’s looking forward to starting the next chapter in her relationship with her long-time boyfriend, and then wham the bottom all falls out and she is forced to re-evaluate everything. She is crushed sure but she’s gives the douche the all he’s due, calls her best friend (finds a bottle of tequila) and gets on with the process of dealing with it all. Noelle (her somewhat crazy best friend who I adore) basically gives her a short window to wallow and be sad, angry girl before she says “screw the feeling sorry crap, we’re going out and getting you a rebound!” Enter Walker and combustible chemistry abounds on the dance floor as well as the hotel room, as Erin engages in her very first one night stand.From the first encounter with Walker, Erin knows this is something different but she’s looking for nothing more than a good time. She’s done with relationships for a while. But meeting Walker rocks her world in so many ways. When she finally sees him again, as the new teacher she is set to mentor she knows that as much as she wants to keep him away they are drawn to each other. Walker is truly one of those good guys that is driven and focused; when he knows what he wants, he goes for it. And did I mention that Walker is pushy and demanding, attentive and sweet, sexy and. . .well did I mention sexy?! Walker is everything Erin never knew she wanted or was missing from her seemingly perfect life. As they find out together that sometimes the unexpected encounter brings the most unexpected happiness.For me Amy did everything right in this beautifully told story. The characters have depth, the story has sweet romantic moments, holy hell sexy moments and so many laugh out loud funny moments!! Sometimes I did want to yell at Erin to just relax and go with it and in others I just wanted her to yell at Walker to calm the f**k down because he was so intense. But that’s when I know that I am emotionally invested in a story, and who doesn’t love that in a book?! Plus the fact that the secondary characters here were interesting and I eagerly await seeing where there stories take us. I cannot wait to see what comes next from this terrific new writer!I’m so excited that Erin and Walker decided to keep things Unexpected and early, because I’ve eagerly been waiting for the world to get to read their story and learn about Amy Marie!!
