Unexpected Pass
She came with a baby and baggage. He showed up with his heart.
Phileigh Read has spent her entire life playing it safe, until one slip up with a client leaves her pregnant and staring down single motherhood. Phileigh’s focus should be on protecting her peace, building her brand, and preparing for the arrival of her child. But one last night out leads her into the arms of Super Bowl MVP Kellon “KB” Barnes, and the rest is history.
Kellon Barnes has spent years trying to outrun the guilt of his past. But something about Phileigh makes him want to stand still. She’s not part of his playbook, but she might be the peace he didn’t know he needed.
Love, like football, is all about timing, but sometimes, the best things in life just may come from an Unexpected Pass.

Meh.
Started off great, had my attention until about 60% and then I lost interest. Felt like the story was trying too many different plots in less than 300 pages.
So the quick fixes of complicated family drama, made the resolution too fictional. Which really undermined all that good writing in the beginning.
Also- saying the baby had the dimples of a man, who is not his biological father is a choice. Like the FMC stresses the paternity of this child throughout the book. So reading that line took me out… like ma’am… how?! Why?
That’s when I knew this story had gone off the deep end.

This was realllllllly cute. I love a good step daddy romance. And Kellen didn’t play about his Philly Cheese baby.

🎧 Unexpected Pass by A. Blossom — He Fell First, He Fell Hard, and I Fell Right Along With Him 💥
📖 Read it. Listened to it. Lived it.
I devoured Unexpected Pass by A. Blossom on Kindle Unlimited while listening to the audiobook.....and let me tell you, the experience was next-level immersive
Tropes You Need to Know:
- 💘 He Falls First — and he falls loud, proud, and without hesitation
- 👩🔧 Plus-Size FMC — Phileigh (yes, spelled P-H-I-L-E-I-G-H) is a barber with grit, grace, and a guarded heart
- 🤰 Pregnant and Still Desired — because love doesn’t wait for perfect timing
- 🧠 Emotional Healing — both leads are a little broken, but together they find peace
- 🏈 Sports Romance Vibes — he’s a Super Bowl MVP, but she’s the real win
What Hit Me Right in the Feels:
Phileigh’s story is raw, real, and beautifully messy. She’s pregnant by someone who ghosts her, but instead of spiraling, she meets Kellon Barnes a man who sees her, chooses her, and loves her out loud. He doesn’t care about her past. He cares that she’s his peace. And that? That’s the kind of love we deserve to see more of.
Narration & Pacing:
Narrated by Elyce Anthony and Winston James, this audiobook clocks in at just over 6 hours and I swear it felt like 30 minutes. The pacing is chef’s kiss, and I was genuinely sad when it ended. It’s short, but it packs a punch.
Trigger Warnings:
There’s trauma woven into the story, so protect your mental health and check the warnings. But if you’re in a place to receive it, this book will give.
Final Verdict:
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
This one’s going on the top shelf the sacred spot where only the most emotionally earned, beautifully written stories live. And yes, I’m buying the physical copy even though I already devoured the audiobook.
I received an advanced copy of the audiobook through netgalley and I'm leaving this review voluntarily

Kellon was everything I didn’t know I needed! From the absolute beginning I was engulfed in Kellon & Phileigh’s story. This sports romance brought all the feels with the drama that unfolded. Extremely lovable main characters that you will ride hard for & truly want to win! Seeing a plus sized woman loved right and getting everything she deserved was a breath of fresh air.
I loved how Phileigh was working toward her own success prior to meeting Kellon! Although his connections sped things along, I have no doubt that she would have been successful with or without him.
And KELLON! This man was simply perfect in every way. I literally cannot think of a single thing to critique him on, A. Blossom did a phenomenal job creating the ultimate book boyfriend!
The audiobook narration was superb! Elyce Anthony & Winston James absolutely ate down with these characters. They brought magic to Kellon & Phileigh’s stories! Overall a great read & definitely recommend the audiobook. Thank you Dreamscape Media and NetGalley for an advanced listening copy. All opinions are my own.

honestly… it was okay. I gave it three stars. The premise hooked me, I really wanted to see how this man was going to navigate dating a pregnant woman. It’s not something you see often in romance, so I was like “okay, let’s see where this goes.”
But the way it played out? He brushed it off so fast it almost felt unrealistic. He was too calm, too perfect, and at some point he started giving “saviour complex” energy. I like flawed characters because they feel human, and after he kept acting like the most patient, understanding man on earth, it just got a bit boring.
The story wasn’t terrible, it kept me reading but the lack of depth made it feel flat after a while.

Soooo good! Kellon did not play about Phileigh. He knew what he wanted from the beginning and applied that pressure!! I was so happy for Phileigh. My girl got everything she deserved and then some. Everybody that played in her face got what they deserved too lol. Highly recommend this one. A.Blossom don’t miss.

tropes you’ll find in this book:
- sports romance
- bbw / plus size representation
- football player mmc / barber fmc
- secret babies
- found family / chosen family
- surprise love
- viral drama
- he falls first
- step daddy
- second chance at love
Going into this book, I had so many thoughts at how this book was going to go. i’ve seen so many recommendations on my tik tok and instagram about this book being a swoon-worthy, jaw-dropping, steamy book with lots of fluff and warmth. i was sold immediately!
Phileigh Read is a woman with child that not only came from a football player but an ENGAGED football player (who’s a two-timing piece of shit). She’s wrecking herself over what to do for the next nine months as a single mother—a night out would do the trick right? WRONG. Ditched and lost, she sat at the bottom at the stairwell trying to avoid the crowd. Then, in walks football mvp super bowl champion, Kellon Barnes to the rescue!
KELLON BARNES IS THE FOOTBALL MVP AND FATHER MVP. He is the type of man that would love and protect you until the end of time! the way he gravitated towards Phileigh and took her on a whirlwind romantic day out to Disney World was too cute. Despite a few bumps along the road, he’s not giving up without a fight to prove to her he’s just what she needs in her life to prevail.
Their relationship journey is one of the books—he takes her baby as his own and shows her the true meaning of partnership when times get hard. Even when the masses tries to rip them apart (said baby daddy and resentful ex), they only focus on their bulging love thats hot and steamy! She may be pregnant but that thang still works hunny 😉
From whirlwind romance to chasing down the girl of his dreams, unexpected pass is the book for the lovers out there who believes that anything is possible and love never stops even with child.

One time for the thick chics 🙌🏾💖 Phileigh was literally having the worst, what she thought was- week of her life… and her forever was sat right beside her, ready to claim what’s his. I love that for her. 🥹
Such a great story—sweet, bold, and exactly the energy we all deserve. 4.5 ⭐️ but we round up round here!

I rolled my eyes through this entire book and flat out skimmed the ending. It just felt like pure fantasy, without any kind of realism. Everything was just so perfect that there was zero tension which made the story feel like I was fighting my way through glitter. From the very first page, Phileigh (don't even get me started on the whole Philly cheese nonsense) says 'Reggie wasn't my boyfriend'...three lines later...'We'd made a baby together in a serious relationship.' Huh?? How do those two things go together? Phileigh was cool. At least she tried to make Kellon question whether the relationship was what he really wanted and he absolutely did. Met her, and was willing to fully commit, baby and all in a couple weeks. His overprotective mother went from 'Harpo, who dis woman?' to 'Girl, I got his black card, you better spend this money' faster than you can say 'What the hell, what the helly??' With a little more grit, and everyone not just floating on sunshine and unicorn rainbows, this would have been a good story. But it's so cheesy that it goes past a feel-good story to being hokey and unrealistic. Why would having sex harm the baby at 3mths pregnant that we needed a whole production for a doctor's visit for clearance? 20K for a haircut to a woman he just met. Ummmkk. By the time we got to them having a 6mth old baby crawl around on a red carpet at a Super Bowl event (who does that???) and the baby having 'Kellon's dimples', despite not being his biological child I was extremely happy to see the end of this book.
To be clear, I love warm, 'curl up with a mug of hot chocolate' feel good stories. I love black love. I love seeing black women loved well. I love seeing plus sized women win. I love black women living a soft life, but goodness. Yes, some men fall in love and know what they want very quickly. Yes, men get with women who are pregnant with another man's child, yes, men drop lots of money on women. It's the combination of throwing everything but the kitchen sink into this story that didn't work for me.
I think the author is talented but, truly, the only time I wasn't groaning and rolling my eyes was when Kellon told Reggie off. Then the author ruined the moment by having him and Lolo do what they did. It just felt like we went back to the story feeling immature. Be for real, please. And I'm all about the 'get back' but it didn't fit here. Or it didn't fit the way it was written because the rest of the story is all cinnabuns and powdered sugar.
Anyhoo, two stars because I did force myself to finish. It took me 5 days to finish what should have been a one-sitting read. I was torn between being annoyed and intrigued lol.
A+ on the cover though. I stay getting hoodwinked by these covers!

Ok I’d been putting this one off until closer to football season and it was worth the wait. This was Instalove done right because Kellon saw Phileigh and knew immediately. Now it took my girl a little longer to get on board, and while I was looking at her crazy, I understood her hesitation. I do wish we leaned a little more into the Reggie of it all, I just wanted a little more build up to that beat down but that didn’t take away from my enjoyment. Definitely check this one out!

➸ 5/5 stars
This was a perfect mix of a fairytale love story with a few twists mixed in to keep you on your feet. From start to finish I was so hooked on the story of Kellon and Phileigh that I tried to jump through my kindle multiple times to get to them. It didn’t work but still…! Insta love is my kryptonite when it's done correctly and it was done beautifully in this book. I really would’ve loved at least 100 more pages simply because this book was that freaking good.
The banter, connection, and love radiating through my screen made for a worth wild experience reading the whole time. I experienced multiple instances where I forgot I was reading words on a page and started experiencing what it would feel like to have a movie playing in real time in my mind. Both Kellon and Phileigh were great main characters and with that being said I connected with them both as individuals and as a couple. Kellon giving Phileigh the nickname of Phileigh Cheese was so freaking cute and I personally blushed everytime I read it. Honestly all the nicknames he gave Phileigh were great.
While Kellon could’ve given Phileigh any and everything she wanted he still allowed for her to choose her other path and always be her own person. I loved how he paved the way and gave her different opportunities but those opportunities wouldn’t be possible without Phileigh’s raw talent.
Phileigh is one of those female main characters I will look back on in the future and miss with my whole heart. I don’t know how to explain it but I felt like we were friends and I would do anything to make her happy just like Kellon. (Oh great now I sound parasocial over a fictional character, but it's the truth)
All in all, reading this felt like coming home after a long and stressful day.
“Everything I never knew I needed came wrapped in faith, fate, and an unexpected pass I was lucky to have caught.”

7/25/25- First read 3.5 ⭐️ Cute enough sports romance with very lovable MMC.
9/19/25- Audiobook ARC
While attending a Super Bowl afterparty with one dude and pregnant by another, Phileigh meets Super Bowl MVP Kellon Barnes. He later decides that not only is she his woman but he’s also her baby’s dad. This is not up for discussion! She tried to leave him but he did break into her house to talk some sense into you. 🤣 Kellon was not playing about his Phileigh Cheese!
We love a protective, slightly unhinged MMC that chooses to be the dad that stepped up! Unexpected Pass gives you all the cute you want in a sports romance but also sprinkles in a little spice, some BD drama, and 2 cute introverts finding love and making a family.
Unfortunately, the female narrator sounds like your great aunt. She is not believable as the young sexy barber attracting NFL Players.

I liked that Kellon stepped up and didn’t play about Phileigh (ugly name, btw), but overall, this was just okay. The parental drama on both sides felt like filler if it wasn’t going to be explored with real depth, it should’ve been cut. Phil’s issues with her parents were tossed in like parsley there for garnish, but not doing much.
The villains got what they deserved, sure, but the jump from “abort the baby” to “I’ma kill you” was wild and didn’t flow naturally at all. It felt like a plot twist just for shock value. Reggie being so pressed because Kellon “got the girl” didn’t really land either, especially since he and his fiancée were the ones who dragged the whole mess on the internet in first place. Like… how did we even get here? No one would know if twitter fingers one and two would just be quiet.

I love a good instalove type romance and from the moment Kellon met Pheleigh he was smitten! I love how he came into her life and let her know she was safe with him and didn’t have to question a thing. He took control and handled her with so much care & love! This what you call a father, them deadbeats could never!!

Sweet!
This was an incredibly sweet love story.
I'm so glad everything worked out the way it did. I was worried about those parents for a hot minute, but overall, they added a great element to the story.

That man said ain’t no step-daddy, that’s my baby! Period!😏🫶🏾this was a cute read, it was an instalove and the vibes were just right.

The stepdaddy trope is quickly becoming one of my favorites, and A. Blossom executed it PERFECTLY in Unexpected Pass.
Kellon was the true definition of a stepdaddy who STEPS!!! He stepped right in and took the absolute best care of Phileigh during her pregnancy. The way he basically said, “You and this baby belong to me now” had me like 🥹🥹🥹. Sir, YES!!!
I love stories about unexpected love. Two people finding each other when they least expect it and realizing they might be exactly what the other person has been missing. That was Kellon and Phileigh. While Kellon was still carrying the guilt and grief of his past, Phileigh was trying to navigate the completely unexpected turn her life had taken. Watching them help each other through those moments was honestly beautiful.
And Kellon? Yeah… he was doing what needed to be done! 😂
I absolutely ate this book UP. I read it in one sitting and could not put it down.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 4/5 stars

This was such a cute, sweet read!!! I was literally smiling from ear to ear from the very beginning 🥰!!
Kellon was such a sweetheart & the perfect gentleman!!! The way treated Phileigh from the very first time they met was everything!!!! He was loving, reassured her when she got in her own head & was everything you could possible want in a man!! He saw what he wanted & went after it & he didn’t care what baggage came with her he was locked in!!!
HE’S A GOOD MAN SAVANNAH 😂🥰!!!
This was a super light read that gave me all the feels 🥺

MMC didn't play
The MMC didn't play when it came to the FMC. Kellon fell in love with Phileigh instantly. She need just a tad bit more convincing due to her doubting that he could actually love her.
Read this book if you want tofind out what happens when the girl finally gets a good one.

3.5⭐️🌶️🌶️ All I can say is KELLON is one hell of a man. Not only did he step up and take care of somebody else’s responsibilities, but he made it known to PHILEIGH and the world. One man’s trash is obviously his treasure. I felt like the plot was OK because it went with the storyline. I personally don’t get the Insta love trope, but it was written very well.
