Publisher's summary

Self-made business owner Dale McGuire has always enjoyed two things in life: women and fast cars. Now in her mid-30s, she's restless and can't work out why. Then one day a 10-year-old boy turns up, claiming to be her son, and her simple ordered world turns upside down.

Rebecca Harper bears the emotional scars of her father's crimes, and now she has two rules: never let anyone get too close and never admit weakness. Thanks to an anonymous egg donor, infertility didn't stop her from having her son Jake. Now pregnant for a second time, she's horrified when Jake brings home the woman he believes is his other mother.

When distrust turns to understanding and passion, can Dale and Rebecca, two women bound by fate, make a family neither expected?

Jenny Frame and Nicola Victoria Vincent are a perfect match

Frame is one of my favorite authors of this genre, and Vincent makes her works come to life. As a queer woman who has listened to dozens if not hundreds of romance novels over the years, I recommend this and every other Frame/Vincent audiobook without reservation.

Excellent Audio!

I really enjoyed Unexpected by Jenny Frame. I resisted buying this audio for a while. But I'm glad in the end that I bought it. Simple story, well off woman and poor struggling woman meet with the help of a kid. But its enjoyable and of course Nicola Victoria Vincent does an excellent job with the narration.

Thawing of the ice queen

I loved this story and it’s characters. The narrator did a great job of changing the voices and making you imagine that these people actually exist. I cannot wait until the sequel comes out!

Knight in shining armour story

Good if you like damsel in distress in a modern, gay and funny version. I laughed out loud and the dialogue and sex scenes are convincing even if the story is predictable.

This is not for you if you are not into butch characters or if you are not looking for a well done but straightforward love story.

Una gran historia!

Siempre Jenny Frame no decepciona! Cómo no querer a Dale con esa picardía escocesa?
Y Presenciar como Rebecca va bajando los muros que protegen su corazón.
Un factor importante es Nicola Victoria Vincent… simplemente MAGISTRAL su actuación! Ese acento escocés uffff soñado!
Altamente recomendado.

A wonderful story about love

What an incredibly beautiful story. I love Jenny Frame's previous works, but this was by far her best! Nicola Victoria Vincent has turned in her usually brilliant performance, bringing all the characters and scenes to life. I could not put this down and listened to the whole book in one day. Brava Ms. Frame and Ms. Vincent!

“Unexpected” by Jenny Frame, Narrated by Nicola Victoria Vincent

This is the first book I’ve read by Jenny Frame. I really enjoyed it and there are definitely more of her books in my future!

Dale McGuire and Rebecca Harper are wonderful characters and the story line of “Unexpected” is lovely. I enjoyed every minute.

The narration by Nicola Victoria Vincent is perfect. She brought Frame’s characters to life!

Love the characters, love the storyline. The narrator is the absolute best. I've reread this several times over the years.
