An Unexpected Everything

The Cage Family, Book 2

By: Carrie Ann Ryan

Narrated by: Emma Wilder, Teddy Hamilton

He left me with a note.

Weston Caldwell and I had two months together. Two months of intense heat and plans for our future. Then one day he left me sleeping with a note and never turned back. I closed off my heart and my dreams after he left and promised to take care of my family, never trusting love again.

So when I am forced to head to my family’s small town for protection, I never expect to turn around and see the man I loved.

I want to walk away and never look back, but when I find out he left for a heartbreaking reason, I’m not sure what to think. The chemistry between us hasn’t gone away—if anything it burns even brighter.

But my life is in the city and his is in this small town that draws me. Between his siblings, the town itself, and my new found family, walking away might break me.

Only Weston isn’t the only secret from my past. And it turns out, if Weston and I aren’t careful, we could lose everything before we find our second chance.

An Unexpected Everything is a second chance, right person, wrong time, single “dad”, contemporary romantic suspense in the Cage Family series featuring Weston and Isabella. Each book can be listened to as a complete standalone. An HEA is guaranteed!**

An Unexpected Everything

I couldn’t wait to see what the past between Weston and Isabella was with the end of the last book, and it was sooo good! The Cage family has so many secrets so it doesn’t surprise me that Isabella had her own. I adored Weston’s siblings and the small town of Cage Lake. The way all the Cage siblings are coming together and learning each other is so much fun to watch. I can’t wait to find out more about all of them.

Loved it!

I loved An Unexpected Everything.. Love the Cages and the Cadwells. Weston and Isabella’s story was so good. happily ever after. The narration was beautifully taken up by Teddy and Emma.

4.5 You’re an Unexpected Everything Stars

Weston and Isabellela had spent the better part of two months together, until he took off one night, leaving a note without any answers.. Heartbroken, she does the only thing she can: she returns home and puts her family above anything else.. Who needs love? Not Isabella, that's for sure.

Weston lives in the small town of Cage Lake, where he works as the local mechanic. Things haven't been easy for him over the last several years, but that's okay because he's getting through everything, and things are getting a little bit easier.

I loved Isabella and Weston together; you could feel how hungry they were for one another, even when Isabella was still so angry at the way he left her. Weston never thought he'd be given a second chance with Bella, so he was going to make sure she gave him one, and he wasn't going to take no for an answer when he asked her for one.

I enjoyed listening to the audiobook version narrated by Emma Wilder and Teddy Hamilton., They each brought another layer to the story, which is always a lot of fun. If you have access to the audiobook, I definitely recommend it.

I recommend this book to readers who enjoy spicy contemporary romance, Small-Town Romances, Close-Proximity Romances, second-chance-at-love romance, Single "Dad" romances, and Enemies-to-Lovers romances.

Happy Reading or Listening!!!

Love Weston

The Cage Family #2 and I dove straight into this headfirst. Carrie is in a class of her own when it comes to storytelling. I fell in love with Weston and Isabella right from the start. The chemistry and dynamics of the characters along with the story was outstanding.

Sweet, second chance romance!

Oh Isabella and Weston! I’m here for a Carrie Ann Ryan second chance romance *swoon* Isabella and her siblings are finding a new normal after their dad turned their lives upside down. Going back to Cage Lake wasn’t something she was wanting to do when she had a scare and Weston was the one to catch her. He was from her past, but her current situation precluded her from living her life as it was. So, Cage Lake and Weston entered the chat.
I enjoyed their journey and their reconciliation. They had to learn about things in their past in order to move forward. And neither one of them were the same person from before. So they had a chance to learn who they were in the now. And both Weston and Isabella look out for those they love in their lives. I loved how Teddy Hamilton and Emma Wilder brought these characters to life!
