Unexpected Turn #1
Unexpected Turn
As long as I can remember, my life has been nothing but one big mess. I thought things were looking up when I applied to an ad about being a surrogate at this snooty fertility clinic. Good pay, nice benefits, what’s not to like? All I need to do is spit out a baby for the rich and powerful. Piece of cake. Or so I thought.
Turns out, things are not that simple, and in this world, nothing is as it seems. I’ve entered a world of secrets and lies, not knowing who I can trust, especially the couple who hired me to conceive their baby.
What do I do when fate knocks me on my butt and sends me tumbling down a one-way street with no opportunity to return?
Who knew a chance encounter in an elevator would turn my whole life upside down, sending me on an Unexpected Turn that’s now my life?

December 19, 2025Nope, I can't do this
I have no idea how this book ended in my tbr.
I needed a book starting with the letter U, so I found this one and went for it blind.

This book is packed full of shocking twists and turns and an ending I never saw coming! Jade has to go through a lot in her life and things only get harder for her. With impossible choices and shocking revelations I cannot wait to find out what will become of her and the men in her life in book 2 although I have to say that out of all of them, the guy she’s with when the book ends is my favourite.

I loved this book. I cannot wait for more!
This book was not what i was expecting. To be fair i did not read the blurb as this is a book from one of my favourite authors so i just dived in.
There were so many Twists and turns to this book. making it impossible to guess what was going to happen next.
Jade is one step away from living on the streets but even she can't get the simplest of jobs without something going wrong.
Grayson the Loving husband would do anything for his wife... even betray her.
Tyson the Playboy family lawyer who is just out for a bit of fun.
And Robert the personal trainer... All these men, pulling her in different directions when all she wants to do is finish her original job and get the hell out of Dodge.
I cannot wait to read the next book. i so need more.

I have to be honest here, I wasn't going to read this book. The reason being was, not because I don't like the author or that I wasn't sure I was going to like the book, the reason was because I asked in Facebook after reading some reviews, if this was a series or a standalone. When I found out that it was a series, well a duet, I was going to wait until the author put out the second book. After finding out from the author, that she doesn't know when she's going to put out the next book because of health reasons, I was just going to abandon the book all together. However I was already in a couple chapters and I decided to see it through to the end.
So many fucking twists. I have to honestly say what Nicole did deserves a good smack upside the head. It's all well and good to feel guilty, but she could have handled that so much more differently. If she had let her husband in on what was going on, then maybe he could have helped make amends to jade.
That being said, I'm addicted to the book, and I hope the author gets better soon so she can put out the second book.
I'm not holding my breath. I'm sorry to say but I have experience with authors doing this kind of thing because of health reasons. They'll say that they want to put the book out, but health or other books, get in the way. So I'm not holding my breath to find out what happens next. Because I don't think we will.
Hey! I am crossing my fingers that everything works out and we all get to see what happens next. I just don't have a lot of faith in anything right now. Depression. For the win.
And to the author, no matter what, I do hope you get better.

dnf-nope
June 30, 2020This could be way better, but unfortunately it wasn't for me.
I liked the way it started and i loved her and Grayson but then when Ben come around i was like...ok it's good since Gray is anyway married and she is just the surrogate so yeah but then when Ty came it was to much for me..i mean ok 2 guys but 3? then i kept going because i was curious...well i draw the line when she is being pregnant with Gray and was Ty's girlfriend but she still wanted the 2 other guys too... come on...🙄 ok , i know it's poly amorous but at least don't be committed to one of them.
Then it was getting worse, she accepted Ty proposal,she married him ,she had Gray baby which she will keep since his wife died and well she still have thoughts about other guys but she says she loves Ty...yeah yeah...then it end in a cliffy where it's a hint where she will be away with Ben for protection...and i already know where that will lead too. This could be so good if she ended up with Gray but nope. JUST MEHHH.
If you are into love triangle's then this is for you.

It wasn't what I expected. I couldn't connect with the character's relationships (there were three). The first relationship with Grayson had no chemistry. They didn't give a timeline so it was hard to believe he fell in love with her. Attracted yes that's the way of people. The second relationship with Rob. At least we knew that occurred over a period of time, but they didn't do much but share coffee. Now to say he was willing to share her made no sense. The third relationship with Tyson was okay. He only wanted her because she was with someone else. Alpha men I don't think would willingly share another woman, let alone someone carrying someone else's baby. To meet three filthy rich guys and have them hanging all over you. Nope. How easily the contract was changed, if he was a hotshot lawyer. It became more interesting at the end (CLIFFHANGER). I may or may not read the next book.

Surrogacy goes awry
Poor Jade. Borderline broke and homeless, Jade's last hope is a job as a surrogate. And from there things get funky. Jade meets Grayson and Nichole, a too-kind rich lawyer couple in need of an unconventional surrogate. Toss in a couple love interests and some harsh words and pregnancy becomes stressful. I feel for Jade as she lives in a world that #whychoose is a far off fairytale, but a girl can dream, right? CY Jones has absolutely pulled out all the stops for this one! Unexpected Turn is sweet and sappy, tears worthy, sassy and sarcastic, heartbreaking and worrisome. Expect a whirlwind of emotions that could only fit on this rollercoaster! Highly recommended read!!!

Everything is unexpected!
Holy sheez! So I am seriously in love with Cy Jones! So I have been slowly making my way through all her books and she has yet to dissuade me from anything she writes. Unexpected Turn is just that unexpected! I didn't know what how this was going to end. I mean I freaking cried and got a headache from crying. When I thought I knew what was going to happen, bam here is a twist. I love Jade and her feisty self. Tyson such a sweetheart but Grayson, the verdict is still out on that. Pun intended there! Lol. Rob, I am still trying to figure this out. Then you give me that ending! I have no words, I am stunned and shocked! Now I have to wait to see what will happen next!

Can’t wait for the next book!
Yet another book that I have found by looking up for books that have FMCs with my name so I can live my y/n life.
This book shocked me as to how well written it is and i’m surprised it’s not recommended enough. The plot was absolutely amazing, the pacing was great and easy to follow, and the characters are interesting. I’m not sure if this is completely RH and if Jade will have to choose in the end but I really hope she won’t! And I hope in the next book, Rob gets more exposure!
As if I couldn’t love the story more, the end completely threw me off guard because of the sudden twists that I DEFINITELY did not see coming. Joined the reader group to stay updated with the next release cause i’ll really be waiting!

I wasn’t sure how I felt about this book going into it. I was a bit turned off by the FMC in the first few chapters but I quickly grew to like her off color way of speaking and looking at the world. I absolutely HATED Greyson for the majority of the book, which speaks to the power CY has over words and her ability to get you to connect, or in my case loathe, a character. There were so many twists and turns, I honestly had no idea how the book would end. I also did not expect that final last nugget of a surprise to get dropped on us! I really hope there is a follow up to help tie up the loose ends!

I LOVE EVERY BOOK BY THIS AUTHOR!! BUT THIS BOOK BY CY IT IS BY FAR MY NEW FAVORITE!!!

Absolutely amazing book. I know some of you think oh how hard could it be to be a surrogate, right? Jade is going to show you just how twisted it can be. I loved the story itself and how you can't imagine what is going to happen next. Jade is one of my absolute favorite FMCs ever, with the way she carries herself and how colorful her speech is because it makes her more relatable. I absolutely recommend this book to everyone.
June 24, 2020
I mean I hated the heroine for the most part. She was the most wishy washy person. She wanted everyone who looked twice at her. I didn't realize this would end up on a cliffhanger. Even though the end says HFN. It's not because it leaves you completely up in the air with everyone. I will wait and read the next one but most likely forget what happened in this one. 4 stars because I was invested and thought the premise of the story was definitely up my ally.

Loved it
This is my second reading of this book. I loved it the first time,and the second. When I read it the first time, I told myself I could be patient, and wait for the follow-up. Well it's now 2024, and I don't think one is coming. I am so sad about that, this story was so good. I never saw any of the twists coming. This book was so good, and different from anything else I've read.

Holy moly....definitely an unexpected turn!!! That ending!!! Wow! Ok...but seriously the book is written well, it has a nice flow and everything sticks together and makes sense. The characters are interesting and bold and I love their personalities. I’m curious on if this will turn RH in the next book...I’m excited to read what happens next.

Love it
Cy did a great job with this one! Unexpected Turn went from a great beginning to an unexpected turn ;) every second just got better. It was extremely hot, the men are to die for and the ending was perfect. Well as perfect as it could be considering it was a cliffhanger. That just made me excited for what's next!

Contemporary Reverse Harem
So many twists and turns in this book kept me on the edge of my seat. Jade is a nonconventional surrogate mother. She is tossed in a world of the rich and famous. Hopefully , she can survive, the 3 men that love her. I am looking forward to book 2.

Unexpectedly confusing and full of cheating. I just can’t get behind this book. The sex was hot but the relationships are all based on manipulation and there is cheating on more than one level. And the ending is a confusing twisted dark mess. I won’t be buying the next one.
September 18, 2020
Absolutely loved this book
I was sure about it when I first picked to read from KU but I absolutely loved it and can’t wait for the next book to find out what happens with Jade, lol Grey and her men.

Omg.
This book is completely heartbreaking but so good. It does have some lines that get crossed, but I think mostly it’s because they keep a lot of secrets and don’t really have good communication. However it is so good. I can’t wait for the next book.
