A second chance, surprise pregnancy romance.

He was my high school sweetheart.
My dream guy. My soul mate.
And as of yesterday... my ex-husband.

He wanted everything I couldn't give him. A doting wife, a perfect family, a white picket fence, and game nights.

It's not that I didn't want to be his wife anymore. I just wanted something more—a career. So when an opportunity came up ...more

No, no and no! The heroine lies to the hero and says she cheated on him so he would hate her and let her leave. He moves on and gets his girlfriend pregnant AND ends up getting the heroine pregnant. No thank you!!!! This is definitely not romance to me.

The most fucked up cheating H story written by a gigantic doormat author.
H cheated during their marriage. Then when he’s back with the h 2 yrs later, he got his ex gf and h pregnant at the same time.

- during separation- h remained celibate. He fucked ow. Of course what do you expect when this is written by a doormat author.

Avoid all future books from this author!

I upgraded to 2 stars because it’s well written and the best that could be done with this hurtful situation. It’s not a believable story imo for the kind of good guy Jaxon is. I have a hard time with the probability of two unexpected pregnancies happening with no NEW cheating. The drama and hurt took away from the love story for me. I just didn’t believe in it.

Babies born on the same day. The OW had hers at 11:59p🙄 both babies have names that start with A. h calls them half twins 🤢 The h and the OW become besties. OW was the h’s nemesis in high school and H knew that because they’ve been together since 13 except for 2 year separation which is when he sleeps with 2 other women and knocks one of them up. h was celibate and he is her one and only. OW ends up being their nanny and lives next door with her now husband. They just walk into each other’s houses. OW was pretty awful to h during her pregnancy and rubbed it in her face. h blamed herself for everything even though though H cheated for real when they were married the first time. She doesn’t even get mad at him when she finds out 2 years later. He’s nasty to her when he finds out she was pregnant 2 years ago. Accuses her of “aborting/killing” their baby. She had a miscarriage at 15 weeks and delivered the baby with no friends or family. She sleeps with him minutes after that. Now she and their daughter and her husband get to spend the rest of their lives explaining this gross situation.

Previous review
I’m on page 29. I had a feeling based on the title and searched calista and pregnant and didn’t like what I found. Did some other searching and found out jaxon cheated for real when they were married by kissing someone else. Nicki lied about cheating so he wouldn’t bother coming after her. She never knew he cheated until 2 years later when she’s back. He let everyone blame her, hate her, and talk shit about her. Calista ends up pregnant. Then Nicki ends up pregnant only 3 weeks behind. This book is gross. It’s a huge mess and the blurb did not shed light on this. I’ve been waiting on this one and was super excited and now I don’t think I can force myself to read it. One of these issue would be workable. All of these together isn’t the kind of HEA I’d want in my life. There should definitely be a trigger warning for cheating. ...more

But somewhere along the way Jaxon and Nicky's perfect life started to falter, and the things that seemed to make sense at one time no longer did. Nicky wanted things their small town life couldn't afford her and Jaxon wanted to take steps in their marriage that Nicky wasn't ready for... so the logical thing to do was go their separate ways. Jaxon waivered on their decision of divorce feeling like there might be something to salvage, but Nicky didn't feel the same way, and made her point very clear, so Jaxon signed the papers. They were finally over... or were they?

The pages of this beautifully penned love story will torture your heart in the best possible way. Nothing hurts more than love gone wrong, and Jaxon and Nicky can easily attest to that, the last few years of their lives have been horrible. They've tried to move on, date other people, make a new life for themselves, but there is always this niggling feeling that something is missing. Did they make a mistake signing those papers? Did they have it right to begin with, that they were meant to be? Or are they just stuck in a rut? It's an impossible situation, many obstacles still keeping them apart, but one thing is for sure, their hearts aren't ready to fully let go.

I loved every single word of this story, it was real, so raw, rich with feeling and hope. It showed the messy parts of love, that it's possible to fix the unfixable, and save what you thought was broken. It shows you that true love is worth the fight, the work you have to put in, and if you believe in one another anything is possible. These two were destined to be together, even if they hesitated to believe it, and as I turned the pages and watched them find their way back together, my heart soared right along with theirs. It was such a touching reunion story, one that I won't soon forget. Highly recommend this one, once you meet these characters you won't be able to let them go!!

I requested an advanced copy of this title from the publisher, and I am voluntarily leaving my honest and unbiased opinion. ...more

Samantha never disappoints, a great addition to the Calloway Series.

Jaxon and Nicky don’t know how unfinished they are until circumstance throws them back together in the small town of Calloway Creek. Neither is happy to see the other or so they would have people believe.

With the divorce finally through neither seem overly excited to be single and move on with their lives.

Their reunion is fraught, but makes for good town gossip, especially as Jaxon has been “dating” Nickys high school nemesis ...more

Unfinished Ex is a hauntingly beautiful story of second chances, love, loss, and forgiveness. Jaxon and Nicky will give you all the feels and your heart will ache for them. I was transfixed with their story from the very first page to the last.

“We wanted different things. We always wanted different things. We just didn’t know it until it was too late.”

Nicky has always loved him but she knew if she carried on the path she was on they would soon resent each other. She wanted her dreams to become a reality but the only way to do that was to walk away.

There is nothing romantic about a man having a child with his ex and the h at the same time. Nothing. Neither pregnancy is planned and both women end up due within weeks of each other.

Other random things that annoyed me: This is a second chance romance, so the couple has been apart. He of course has had sex with other women. The h, of course has not been with anyone else.
The ex moving next door? Without talking to him first? Creepy.
In spite of the fact the two women never got along, one act ...more

Samantha Christy delivers another emotional one-click tear-jerker with Unfinished Ex. This second chance romance pulls on every single heartstring, and delivers a truly beautiful HEA. Admittedly, I am a sucker for misunderstanding being made right, and this one hit home on so many levels.

I was not prepared for the twists and turns Christy built into Jaxon and Nicky’s story. Readers think they have the inside edge from breadcrumbs dropped in Unlikely Date, but don’t ever believe you know the ful ...more

So I have previously read the Mitchell sisters series and really enjoyed that series. Unfortunately I can’t say the same for the Calloway series.

Now they’ve finally signed the papers on their divorce and Jaxon is trying to move on with a new relationship. Suddenly a new opportunity brings Nicky right back to the last place she wants to be. Although she enjoys being closer to her family, there is no way for her to avoid being around the man who she may still have feelings for.

Nicky wanted more of a career as a meteorologist and made a choice that broke her heart and brought Jaxon to his knees. Was it a little selfish and unrealistic on her part… yes. She loved Jaxon but at that point she loved her career more and put it over the love of her life. With what he thinks is a betrayal from Nicky lying to him they divorce.

Jaxon and Nicky’s story is a beautiful and emotional ride that I never wanted to end.

They have been separated for two years, their divorce finally finalized and their paths cross again. There is some pain, some secrets, heartbreak, but there is so much chemistry and history between the two of them. You can tell from the start that they are meant to be together and really the time apart was exactly what their relationship needed.

Nicky fell in love with Jaxon when she was a teenager and she believed that the love they shared would be strong enough to overcome any challenges that life threw at them. When their visions for the future appeared to be very different she thought that divorce was her only option even if it broke both their hearts in the process.

Jaxson had never imagined a future without Nicky so he was devasted by not only the end of their relationship but what she claimed her reasons were. He thought he was mo ...more

And contrary to the fact that her heroines drink things like wine and Cosmos, she prefers Bud Light.

She also loves fan mail and answers all of it.
