This was a fun read; it was a nice distraction at the end of a long day. I enjoyed the story, even though I wouldn’t agree with all the choices our characters made, it was still entertaining. Gwen was a good heroine, I liked her personality and that she stood up for herself. I also liked Alex and how deep down he was more of a traditional guy who knew the importance of marriage and family. He kind of makes a few mistakes along the way, but he does have good intentions. I thought Alex and Gwen ha...more
I finished this book in less than 24 hours. NOW what does that say?!?! I picked up this book looking for an author whose writing style is a little along the lines of Whitney Gaskell. Gwen's life is full of constant drama in Exes and Ohs. The ups and downs of love hit her pretty hard. But Beth Kendrick has allowed her to experience a happy ending. Hiliarious, not quite. Funny, yes. I was thoroughly entertained and pleased with this read.
I enjoyed the book, a few twists and turns before the ending. Definately chick-lit.
I read Second Time Around by Beth Kendrick and knew I wanted to read more by this author. Glad I picked this one up and I'll do more.

This book was a romantic comedy about a woman who gets stood up at the alter. It was a perfect beach or vacation book, a very easy, fast read, and very funny. Ms. Kendrick has a wonderful sense of humor. I would recommend it if you're in the mood for light hearted chick lit.
I thought the book was somewhat entertaining. It was pretty much like reading an episode of a soap opera - Dennis dumps Gwen, she's heart-broken...in walks Alex C. nice guy who takes her out for dinner and they have a great time. Then Gwen meets Leo, whose mother is Harmony (Alex C's ex) and discovers that Leo is Alex's child (only of couse Alex doesn't know).
With all the twists and turns, they manage to be civil with one another and become a family.

This was a fast read. Maybe I am just especially mushy and sensitive this time of the month, but I found this predictable story very touching. Not great literature, but entertaining nonetheless.
It was a cute fast paced read. I was sympathetic to everything that Gwen was going through and really felt for her character. The ending however seems a tad too well out together. Doubtful something like that could happen in real life
I loved this book. It was a light, funny, romance book. I like her writing..I read her book the Prenup (also
really good) It's great to read on vacation around a pool. Read it quick

After reading "Saving Brian" and not quite liking it, I gave Foster a second chance as most of the reviews said it did not seem like her typical work. They were wrong! "Unexpected" had the same eye roll moments, where the main character is so unrealistic, the plot predictable and humor is far and few between. Foster is good at coming up with fresh and original story lines (although unrealistic) and a definite pro at writing sexual scenes. It's your modern day Harlequin romance novel so if that i...more
Very entertaining. All about being left at the alter and all that that entails and then trying to move on. Very much a love story.
Review coming very soon (like tomorrow) on LiveOffRomance.blogspot.com

This was a cute book. It's a nice light read though all the characters are a little overly connected.
I adored this precious read. Visit icysweetness.webs.com to see other reviews like this book.
Fun, easy read. Falls into the "trash but not trash" category as my sister would say...

a perfect little picker-up when you are sick or need cheering -- was quite a fun read!
What a horribly corny title, but it was very fun chick lit and an excellent beach read.
This was a really cute book! Great read for a plane ride or on the beach.
A fun, brainless read for when you want to lounge and not think too hard!
Has implausible moments, but laugh-out-loud sassy dialogue kept me reading.
Cute and clever! One of the best I've read of the genre.
Bought this at the Goodwill in Fl. Really fun and cute.
Hilarious and very well written!
Another perfect sunny day read!
Fun and easy read
Cute, quick read. A bit predictable but not in a bad way.
Good and fun!
Cute, summer read
Poor Gwen!! Left by her fiancee the night of her wedding rehearsal.
Although she is a girl who seems down on her love life luck, Gwen is an intelligent and very likeable character. The things that happen to her in this book, you definitely do not wish on anyone else!! But she is a strong woman who knows what she wants

Very short read - finished it in a day. This book was SO funny. I had no idea when I decided to read it/read the back of the book how funny this would be.
It reminded me a lot of the movie "Prime". The characters find themselves in the most awkward predicament, but thankfully adjust to the new situation pretty quickly.
The ending is slightly fluffy, but that's to be expected with books like this. Loved this book and would definitely read it again on a plane or a beach!

This is the part where I’m supposed to brag about all my illustrious accomplishments, but honestly, I’d rather talk about my dogs and brag about some of the things I haven’t done:
I’ve never been to prison*, court-ordered rehab*, or splashed across the cover of a salacious weekly gossip tabloid with my ladybits on display**.
I’m a Leo, a middle child, and a formidable Trivial Pursuit opponent. I re...more
