Slightly Unexpected as amazing story of Aris and Dee they were first introduced in Slightly Reckless as the parents of Tia and Santos. I loved slightly unexpected because it’s the best take of an unexpected pregnancy trope and the characters are in their 40s. I feel like we don’t get enough books and romance stories about 40-year-olds. This book is well written, it contains the most beautiful artwork and the spicy scenes are absolutely on point. I love that Dee it’s such a strong woman that isn’t afraid to be vulnerable and concerned about how her adult daughter would react to her, not only being pregnant but being in a relationship. I love Aris he’s so confident, protective and he’s also petty, and I love that he doesn’t play about his woman or his family. As always Niomie has a character that I just want to pack up with Phoibe. As soon as that character was introduced, I didn’t like her and for great reason. Slightly Unexpected it’s such a great read and a fabulous addition to the series and I cannot wait for Dimi’s

Now this is my type of story..older folks lol. Deanna and Aristides met and had the time of their lives before learning their kids were engaged. A medical procedure causes the beginning of secrets to be kept. When the secret is revealed..the games really begin. I love how DeDe held her own with her company and Aristides. She didn't back down for NOTHING. Aristides had to realize his manly ways aren't always whats best. Kandi is a friend to have..always. Phoibe and Kevin got what they deserved. The family bonds were EVERYTHING!! Can't wait to see what's next. *this is an ARC Review*
