Rachel Schurig's newest offeringAn Unexpected Love Story (Love Story Book Two)is book two in her Love Story series.With the ease and talent she has shown in writing the Three Girls series I am falling in love with the characters in her newest series.  Since this is book two I would suggest you readIn Search of a Love Storyfirst since events and characters from that novel are referenced in this one.Brooke Murray the main protagonist of this novel was introduced in book one as Emily Donovan's best friend who was still back in their hometown running her family's inn.We find Brooke despairing of changing her life to go home and deal with the aftermath of her father's illness that led to her managing her family's inn and trying to get it to turn a profit.  I liked Brooke's personality and her friendship with Paul (former lover and currently working for her) and her love/ hate relationship with still living in her hometown.Brooke though is unexpectedly changed after meeting an inn customer John and falling for his urban and sophisticated style.  Feeling thrown for the first time ever by a man we get to see Brooke grow up and choose what future she wants.  We also get some throw away lines about characters from Three Girls which was welcomed. I really loved the push/ pull with Brooke and seeing her realize her worth.  I have read this novel twice already and plan on reading it one more time before reading the third and final book,An (Almost) Perfect Love Story (Love Story Book Three)I 100% recommend reading!
