Caroline Parker knows three things to be true. First, she is going to be Boston's most sought after divorce attorney by thirty-five. Second, given how terrible her romantic track record is, falling in love isn't in the cards for her. And third, Christmas only brings her bad luck - being broken up with not once, not twice, but three times during the holidays is proof enough of that.

After all, though Hannah is probably the most gorgeous woman she’s ever seen, she’s also straight. And married to Caroline’s work rival. While being hired by Hannah throws her for a loop, winning a divorce case and sticking it to her ex-colleague should be enough of a thrill. But as the months slip by, bringing her closer to both Hannah and her adorable …

And she could have never predicted just how much she wants them to.

Review of "When You Least Expect It"

5 stars

I picked this up because it was on my library's list of no-wait books, so I expected a milquetoast romance story where the MCs just happen to be a couple of women instead of a straight couple.

I was very pleasantly surprised. The characters were well-fleshed out and made me feel invested in their story as well as their personal journeys, even if they aren't necessarily people I would like in real life. The romance was developed at a reasonable pace for the circumstances. I also enjoyed the fact that the couple faces not only external hindrances, but also problems that stem from their personalities and past experiences. Lastly, there were a couple sex scenes included that were both very steamy and very tatefully done, in my opinion.

I listened to the audio book version of the book, which I thought was excellently narrated. The speaker was able to create …

I listened to the audio book version of the book, which I thought was excellently narrated. The speaker was able to create a unique and easy to recognise voice for each of the characters, while also performing their emotions well.

Overall this was a a very fun and enjoyable read that I would recommend to anyone looking for a tasteful romance story.
