Unexpected (ebook)

Perfect end to the series

While this can be enjoyed as a stand alone - because there's so many updates for couples from the previous books I think it’s best enjoyed after those, starting with Unraveled. Also, this review includes spoilers to earlier books. My absolute favorite of the series. Not only does this have some of my favorite tropes/themes: age gap, nanny, small town, found family - but I adored how deeply Knupp allowed me to get to know these characters. Knox's big announcement at the end of Undone about being a previously unknown son of Henry patriarch, Simon, is huge. This begins with the fallout, good and bad, of that revelation. THEN poor Knox has a baby dropped off with nothing but a note claiming it's his. Don't want to spoil it, but all the fun (well, for us as readers) of the completely unprepared and incompetence regarding all things baby is glorious. Enter 28yo Quincy who, despite being 14 years his junior, has years of childcare experience and innate connection with kids. I enjoyed how realistic and relatable living with a baby Juniper's age is. Balanced with the cuteness, parenting victories, and milestones, this is not a baby who conveniently disappears or never cries. I love how Knupp weaves Knox & Quincy's romance throughout all this chaos. It makes for great pacing and a truly believable relationship. Evolving from "just physical with a time limit" to something so much more. Not only do they have to discover what they each really want in life but also how that includes the other. When they finally end up together for real - I cheered. I love epilogues and there's two that serve as the perfect HEA for Knox & Quincy as well as wrapping up the entire series.
