Unknown
Unknown
Can I become the man they need me to be?
Knox
I learned early in life that love is an illusion-- it’s a tool people use to get what they want. I never trusted anyone until I met the three guys that would become my best friends, my true family.
Aside from them, I’ve kept my guard up...until her.
The last week of our senior year in high school, I fell hard and fast for a girl I had no business wanting. We spent one incredible night together...and then, nothing. I awoke alone the next morning with no trace of her in my bed.
To say I’ve been fucking up my life ever since is an understatement. I come from chaos, so that's what I’ll become. There was only one time I thought I had a shot at something better and...well, look how that turned out.
So, I’ll drink and fuck my way through college, and worry about the consequences later.
But unexpectedly, the woman I feel for turns back up in my life, and it turns out that our night together had consequences of its own.
Unknown is a full-length novel with a hot-mess hero, a feisty heroine, a secret baby and an HEA. It is the second inter-connected STANDALONE in the Bainbridge University Series and it follows Uncovered. For the best reader experience, they should be read in order

Ever since his dream girl walked out on him in the middle of the night after HS graduation, Knox has been coasting through college, surviving on parties and hook ups. If it wasn't for his best friends he wouldn't survive at all. But when he sees Willa again on campus he is shook. He needs to see her again and get answers to why she ghosted him. But he was not expecting the truth bomb that Willa drops on him at all. That doesn't stop him from making Willa his again.
Okay . . . I am . . . not okay. I begged for Knox's story after reading Uncovered. I knew that I needed Knox in my life and I was not wrong. This boy, oh man, did he gut me. I have been in a funk ever since finishing his story but it was so fucking worth it. Knox and Willa had different roads, neither had truly easy roads, but I think this helped with their bond and connected them so deeply. I loved how strong and fierce Willa was. How she knew that she had to protect her heart and stand her ground. But then we had Knox and his giant heart that wanted to love and be loved knew that Willa was his girl and he wasn't willing to let her walk away again. Oh man. So good . . . I really wish I had something better or epic to say but I am speechless. These two consumed me and owned me. I am broken and in love with Knox and Willa. I implore you to read this one.

Fun, easy and enjoyable
Great read, light hearted and fun. The dynamic between the four boys is hilarious and definitely had me laughing out loud, can’t wait to read their books. Knox tries so hard, and you know he has a good heart. Willa is strong, and a mama bear for sure. No time to feel sorry for yourself, you just get on with it. Nice easy read, thoroughly enjoyed.

The Bainbridge Boys are back!!!
Knox’s story is full of secrets, sadness, anger, pain, first love and beautiful moments!
Knox has had a very emotional childhood. From feeling rejected and having to be responsible for himself at a young age and then his brother, he can’t wait to start his college life with his three best friends: Ty, Whit and Booker. Unlike his friends, he doesn’t know what path he wants to travel in life but he owns that and also takes responsibility for the choices he makes. He meets Willa one day right before graduation and his life is forever changed.
Willa’s childhood has also been very emotional and rough. She’s moved several times and it’s been hard to form connections and make friends, so she’s learned not to in order to protect herself when she has to move again. She meets Knox and he starts to change that for her and in turn, it makes her panic because she’s only had herself to rely on.
After their time together ends, Willa reaches out to him about something very important but the response isn’t what she was hoping for or expecting and further cements her beliefs in only being able to rely on yourself. When these two meet again, it’s not at all in a typical way and they dance around each other for a little bit. When he finds out the truth, it brings so many emotions to the forefront. Can these two figure it out and not just for their sakes?
I cried 3 times while reading Knox’s story. He may have lost his way but the way he pulls himself together and matures is one of the reasons I love him so much. It’s the little moments that happen that had me all emotional! From a simple meaning to a grand gesture, from finding yourself and learning that family is who you choose, this book is incredible!
These men formed such a tight-knit close bond and they way they care for each other is what makes me love them so much! Their pasts have led them to each other and the new paths they’re meant to travel. This book was everything I couldn’t wait for and so much more! Steamy and spicy and I’m not talking about the coffee from Drip!
Andi has such an amazing talent for taking all these elements and creating incredibly beautiful stories that will break your heart, make you cry and make you believe in love and how it overcomes every obstacle!

Knox & Willa's story is one that I easily found myself lost in from the beginning. It's not only a sweet tale of first love, but it's sexy, steamy, full of laughs and surprises. I love this world of characters that A Burns has created, and each character has wedged a piece of themselves in my heart, including Knox who stole it from me again and again during this book.
You can't help but love Knox and cheer for him every step of the way. Yes, he's a charmer - he's the beloved badboy - but he's also passionate, loyal, and protective of those closest to him. He will do anything for those he loves, and his love for Willa and their daughter in this book brought me to tears. This man deserves SO MUCH love!!
Willa is the epitome of strength. This girl gets knocked down again and again, and keeps on going. She's a force, and I admired her every step of the way.
Their story isn't an easy one. But what I loved about it is that we get to see it from the beginning. I was ALL IN with these characters from the start, and from then on, I held on for the ride. Knox will steal your heart, and Willa and the rest of the gang will have you wanting to move in to The Chapel with them all. I can't wait for what's to come in this series. Well done A Burns!

Oh man did I love this book! It’s the first book I’ve read by Andi & now I want to go devour all the ones she’s written! Seriously I fell in love with these brothers & I need more. That ending has me jonesing for Whit’s book because so far he’s my favourite.
But anyways back to Knox & Willa. First off I love the name Knox it’s probably my favourite. Plus his personality definitely fit the name. He showed a ton of growth throughout this book & he was just an amazing guy with a big heart, who loved Willa so damn much.
Willa was so strong & determined. She had also been put through the ringer by her family, so her & Knox had a lot in common. I loved what a fierce mama bear she was & how she did whatever it took to make her way in this world, even when she was younger.
P.S. It should come as no surprise but Rose is my favourite. What a freaking cutie!!! I need more of her cute little face & the way she has all the guys wrapped around her finger, especially Knox.

This book is the second installment in the Bainbridge University series, and definitely different vibes from the first! Not in a bad way though. In the first book, we followed Ty and Phoebe falling in love and dealing with the drama that Ty’s brother is the one that killed Phoebe’s brother, and Phoebe doesn’t know Ty’s relation to the whole thing. In this one, Knox and Willa already fell in love (or at least deeply smitten), which we do get to briefly read at the beginning. Then a big bomb is dropped. I know surprise pregnancy is a trope a lot don’t like, myself included, but I think this one was done really well. So if that is something that throws you off, I would still give this a chance! The pregnancy itself is a blip in the book, the rest is more the aftermath, once the baby already exists. So if single mother stories are more your jam. These books are interconnected standalones, but reading them in order is definitely a better experience since the characters carry over! I love this one, and recommend this series to any lovers of romance books.

Unknown is such an amazing story. Willa and Knox story was absolutely breathtaking. Talk about second chances, when they have a week together everything changes for those two. Knox falls hard for Willa. And then she just disappear. Life throws them a curveball and lots of miscommunication. Knox wants to be a better man for Willa and Rose. It so great to see all he does to regain her trust once again. And let’s talk about the group of friendship they both have. Knox and his boys are simply the best being there for one another. And then Ian being such a caring, and loyal friend to Willa. This story had it all, love, passion, laughs, hurt and most of all friendships that turned into family.

I'm here for this trope. The OTTD and men who grovel. And Knox had all of that. Willa was so cute and bold and I like that she required grovel. I've read a few books since this so I don't remember details. But I loved Booker and Whit too.

I'm not big on surprise baby books, but I'm glad I have this one a chance. Knox and Willa's chemistry is absolute fire. Her doubting him became a little bit repetitive, but I loved that it was acknowledged and addressed.
Watching the boys get excited about baby Rose was so sweet and adorable. I'm very excited to read more about this group of friends.

Unknown by Andi Burns, is the second book in the Bainbridge University Series, we met Knox Gallagher in Uncovered, the first book in this Series, he lives with his three best friends in a house on the Bainbridge U campus, his childhood was not easy, he had to take care of himself from a very early age and then his little brother, he considers himself mediocre among his friends, but he assumes it's because he has not yet found his passion, here we are going to see him a few days before graduating from high school when he meets the girl who will change his life. Willa Forsyth is a girl who has had a complicated childhood which has led her to keep people at a distance in order to make connections that once she has to leave will cause her sadness, but when she meets Knox at the new high school to which she transferred she can't help but get closer to him, but when the reality of her life hits her in the face again she decides that it's best to continue on her way and leaves, this is devastating for Knox and he tries to make her see reason only that she has already taken her decision, this makes Knox resent her, after a few weeks Willa writes to him so they can talk since she has something important to tell him and he is more than curt and when she gives him a really important news he takes it quite badly and is completely horrible to her . After a year and a half, Willa finds herself working at a cafe on campus and working part-time cleaning houses, when one day she ends up cleaning the house of the boy she swears she will never see again. Knox spends his days on campus between parties, women and problems, and when one day he returns home between classes he finds the girl he has never been able to forget, only when he tries to talk to Willa she doesn't want to listen to him. Only now that he has seen her again, Knox wants to get closer to her again, but there is a small detail that Knox doesn't seem to know and that is where they will see if his feelings are as real as they thought.
I've been a fan of these characters since the first book and Knox's story is more than I expected, full of angst, humor, wonderful characters and loyal friendships. A story that will captivate you and you won't want to miss it. Highly recommended!

Unknown de Andi Burns, es el segundo libro de la Serie Bainbridge University, a Knox Gallagher lo conocimos en Uncovered, el primer libro de esta Serie, él vive junto a sus tres mejores amigos en una casa del campus de Bainbridge U, su infancia no fue fácil, tuvo que ver de sí mismo desde una edad muy temprana y luego de su hermano pequeño, él se considera mediocre entre sus amigos, pero asume es porque aún no ha encontrado su pasión, aquí vamos a verle unos días antes de graduarse de secundaria cuando conoce a la chica que le cambiará la vida. Willa Forsyth es una chica que ha tenido una infancia complicada lo que la ha llevado a mantener a distancia a la gente para n hacer conexiones que una vez deba irse le causen tristeza, pero cuando conoce a Knox en la nueva secundaria a la que se transfirió no puede evitar acercarse a él, pero cuando la realidad de su vida vuelve a golpearla en la cara ella decide que lo mejor es seguir su camino y se va, esto es devastador para Knox y trata de hacerle entrar en razón solo que ella ya tomó su decisión, esto hace que Knox la resienta, pasadas unas semanas Willa le escribe para que hablen ya que tiene algo importante que comunicarle y él es más que cortante y cuando ella le da una noticia él lo toma bastante mal y es completamente horrible con ella. Luego de año y medio Willa se encuentra trabajando en un café en el campus y medio tiempo trabajando limpiando casas, cuando un día termina limpiando la casa del chico que juro no volver a ver jamás. Knox pasa sus días en el campus entre fiestas, mujeres y problemas, y cuando un día regresa a casa entre clases se encuentra a la chica que nunca ha podido olvidar, sólo que cuando el intenta hablar con Willa ella no quiere escucharle. Sólo que ahora que la volvió a ver Knox quiere volver a acercarse a ella, pero hay un pequeño detalle que parece que Knox no sabe y es allí donde verán si sus sentimientos son tan reales como creían.
Soy fanática de estos personajes desde el primer libro y la historia de Knox es más de lo que esperaba, esta llena de angustia, humor, personajes maravillosos y amistades leales. Una historia que te atrapará y no querrás perdértela. Altamente Recomendada!

Andi Burns knocked it out of the park!! 🩷🩷🩷 I loved "Unknown." Both the characters and the world created for the Bainbridge University Series.
“Unknown” is a secret baby, new adult romance, featuring a sexy, hot-mess MMC and a feisty FMC. It is the second inter-connected book in the Bainbridge University Series.
Unknown also has a brand-new look and never-before-seen material! I was lucky to receive an ARC in exchange for my honest review.
I was genuinely moved by the characters and their journey. The book touches on themes of vulnerability, forgiveness, and personal growth, which makes this a compelling and heartfelt story. 🥰
* It was also hilarious and super sweet!!*
Knox
It was a hard pill to swallow with some of the OW interactions with Knox. I don’t typically like reading about that. I accept that there can be drama and there can be history, but it makes my stomach hurt a little bit when it reaches the point it did with him the one time.
His actions are understandable, though. An 18-year-old with a broken heart dealing with it via drinking and girls is not uncommon. He expresses plenty of regret over his choices for the past year and a half or so that has passed. He learned from those choices, though, and no one is perfect.
In fact, I wanted to hug Knox so many times. His vulnerability and openness about his emotions were refreshing qualities in a male main character; they really hit me. I love that he did not shy away from addressing his mistakes; and that the author took the time to show his growth.😢
His friends (really more like brothers) were such a blessing for him. I love that these surrounding characters are authentic and genuinely likable. It makes reading the whole series just as enjoyable and exciting. It is truly amazing that they all have each other to lean on.
Willa
Willa’s maturity at such a young age was surprising and commendable. With all that she had to endure, I think she had to learn to be. Her strength astounded me, nonetheless.
I’m thankful that she didn’t just get swallowed up in Knox and forgive him right away because I like it when a character has a backbone and knows how to stand up for themselves; accept nothing less than what they deserve.
But, man, am I also super happy that she showed him kindness and took him being the dad seriously. She has an incredible amount of grace!
Some books with the accidental pregnancy trope keep the child from the other parent because of what the characters went through; I think it is incredibly wrong to do that.
Willa is probably the best character I’ve read in a while who dealt with the child and the baby daddy in such a beautiful and fair way. She’s such a well-rounded and admirable character.
“Unknown” had just enough drama to make it a good read without going overboard with this part of their story.
My heart hurt so much for these two for what they went through at the hands of their parents and how that affected them and their relationship.🥹
They both had parents that did not show them love, or how to love. While that gave them common ground and a way to connect and understand each other; it’s awful. I hate it when two people who should be together aren’t. Why must their parents be such a**holes?😡
Despite it all, they both were able to love each other and their daughter. It was truly beautiful! ❤️
This book struck a chord with me, and I was 100% emotionally invested in the characters' journey toward their happily ever after.
If I didn’t lose you in all this feedback, then please take my advice and read "Unknown." You won’t regret giving this secret baby, contemporary romance a chance.

Knox Gallagher ... what a man!
After reading Uncovered , book #1 in Andi Burns' Bainbridge University series, I was hooked. UNKNOWN is book #2 and it's an emotional rollercoaster ride of secrets, betrayal, discovery, friendship, forgiveness, humour, steam, and of course love. So, back to The Chapel I went for a story which broke my heart, made me laugh, shed some tears, and left me smiling and warm inside.
Knox Gallagher couldn't wait to start college and live with his three best friends. Life at home was full of pain and rejection, the only happiness he found there was the time he spent with his younger brother. Willa Forsyth hasn't had the most stable life, constantly on the move thanks to her father, she never had the opportunity to find a close friend or someone she could rely on. An unexpected meeting leads to a friendship, a connection that neither Knox nor Willa could deny, but it was short lived and led to life-changing consequences. Fate works in mysterious ways, but will it work in Knox and Willa's favour?
I loved this story, and I loved Knox and Willa. Knox initially came across as a badboy, but there was so much more to him. He was a charmer, passionate, protective, and extremely loyal to those he loved. His maturity grew in leaps and bounds, he became the man he was always destined to be. Willa was just beautiful. She had a strength inside her that enabled her to get through some really hard times. She was a force to be reckoned with, no matter how many times she was knocked down she fought on. Together they sizzled, though trust needed to be gained. The draw and love between them were undeniable. I felt every ounce of pain Knox and Willa dealt with, to have been deceived how they were was simply unforgivable, but out of that deceit came much joy for both of them.
Once again Andi Burns has delivered a mesmerizing story, I couldn't put it down. This series is fast becoming one of my all-time favourites. Andi's writing is simply beautiful, emotion inducing, and addictive. Next up is Caleb 'Whit' Whitmore's story, Inhibited , and with the glimpses Andi has given it's going to be another unputdownable read.

Willa Forsyth hasn't had the most stable life, constantly on the move thanks to her father, she never had the opportunity to find a close friend or someone she could rely on. An unexpected meeting leads to a friendship, a connection that neither Knox nor Willa could deny, but it was short lived and led to life-changing consequences. Fate works in mysterious ways, but will it work in Knox and Willa's favour?
I loved this story, and I loved Knox and Willa. Knox initially came across as a badboy, but there was so much more to him. He was a charmer, passionate, protective, and extremely loyal to those he loved. His maturity grew in leaps and bounds, he became the man he was always destined to be. Willa was just beautiful. She had a strength inside her that enabled her to get through some really hard times. She was a force to be reckoned with, no matter how many times she was knocked down she fought on. Together they sizzled, though trust needed to be gained. The draw and love between them were undeniable. I felt every ounce of pain Knox and Willa dealt with, to have been deceived how they were was simply unforgivable, but out of that deceit came much joy for both of them.
Once again Andi Burns has delivered a mesmerizing story, I couldn't put it down. This series is fast becoming one of my all-time favourites. Andi's writing is simply beautiful, emotion inducing, and addictive. Next up is Caleb 'Whit' Whitmore's story, Inhibited , and with the glimpses Andi has given it's going to be another unputdownable read.

Review: Welcome back to Bainbridge in this uber cute second chance romance! Knox and Willa are two MCs that I fell in love with at the first page since both have so much depth in their stories! The dual POV aspect only adds to the tension and feels between these two and I cannot say enough words to describe how enthralling their story is!
Willa and Knox met years ago before they graduated high school and run into each other after beginning at Bainbridge. The meet-hate was epic and I felt so bad for Knox since Willa is all fire and revulsion. I enjoyed how Willa had a backbone and stood up for what she believed in in regards to Knox and adored her relationship with Rosie. The way she was successful and protective of her daughter…that Knox had no idea about! I also loved Ian and Theo made more of an occurrence in this book and am excited to dive into their stories.
Knox is my man in this book. His family story is tragic and the way Andi unraveled his history with his mother and stepfather was riveting and infuriating. His past ties directly into why he is imploding on himself in this book and I loved how Willa was his grounding factor. I also LOVED LOVED LOVED his meet cute with Rosie. The way he was devoted to his daughter right away was perfect and I loved how all his friends supported him and fell in love with Rosie too. The best aspect of Knox was how he was a silent protector of his brother the whole time and finally got to say his piece with his mother.
This book is swoony and sweet with just enough steam. Knox and Willa will leave you satisfied until we get the next Bainbridge boy’s book! I appreciated how Andi focused this book more on them becoming co-parents and learning how to be a unit rather than just the steam. I felt like the plot also added a layer to this book!
Rating: 10/10, Knox and Willa stole my heart with their story!

Knox had much to overcome
UNKNOWN (Bainbridge University, #2) . . . We step into the world of Bainbridge University. Our new adults embark on a new world and make their way through it the best they can. At Bainbridge University, we meet four young men that have forged a bond between them that was more than the family they were born into. In Unknown we experience life through Knox's eyes. Life had taught him early what to expect and love was not real. Then life shows him another lesson. Will he learn his lesson? Or will the early lessons win out?
Knox was lost and out of control. He did have a compass. He was self-aware. He just could not stop. He was spiraling and his friends/brothers knew it. The was so much damage and neglect that he could not see his way past it all, except. There were two exceptions. Soon to become three. His little brother, Rona, his lost love, Willa, and one beautiful surprise, Rose.
Willa find that her already hectic, unsettled world becomes bearable with the meeting of Knox the last few days of school. The two of them find a connection. The connection takes them on a whirlwind of meeting. They connected and bond on a soul deep level. All this changes with one action of someone we don't even get to meet. The pushes Willa to run. All of that gets compounded by the actions of another very spiteful person. That puts Willa on a new and very different path for her life.
Willa and Knox find their way into each other lives again eighteen months later. This brings some heavy emotions of shock, jealousy, anger, hatred, concern, confusion, and love. Love pure and strong.
What I did not like about the story was the timeline and age issue. I find myself drawn in by details. For Knox to have been only a year younger than Ty, he should have been 20. That means a year and half before could he have been 18. I don't know why my head gets stuck with ages, dates, and time lapses. That is my cross to bare when I read. It did not spoil the story for me.

ARC Review. Thank you Andi Burns and Literally Yours PR for the advanced reader copy of Unknown. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
Unknown is the second book in the Bainbridge University Series by Andi Burns. Although there are four books in the series, each book is a standalone novel that follows the stories of four college roommates and their love interests.
Unknown is my favorite book in the Bainbridge University Series so far. I’m pretty sure I read this book in a day. I was hooked from Knox’s and Willa’s meet cute at high school graduation practice and could not put it down until I finished the extended epilogue.
The accidental pregnancy trope usually isn’t my thing, but Andi Burns wrote this so well. Knox never “messed up” or wavered in his commitment to Willa and their child. He was all in right away, which I loved. I also appreciated that Knox grew up a ton by the end of the book without losing himself in the process.
Having read Unbound, I enjoyed all the little “Easter eggs” Andi Burns scattered throughout the novel. Ty and Phoebe made multiple appearances on the page. It was so fun to see how their relationship had progressed since the end of their novel. Also, there is a ton of foreshadowing for Whit and Booker’s stories. I can’t wait to finish the series!
Without spoiling anything, the last line of the extended epilogue had me 👀
In the pages you will find:
📖Accidental pregnancy
📖Complicated family dynamics
📖Found family
📖Secrets
📖Forgiveness
📖A man who shows up

"Unknown" was a sweet and emotional contemporary romance by Andi Burns. It is about that instant spark and connection when you first meet someone, making mistakes and learning from them, letting go, and forgiveness. The guy falls first but the girl falls just as hard. They have one passionate night together. The next day, she's gone, leaving Knox in a state of despair and going on a downward spiral. Unfortunately, forces working against them, and extenuating circumstances keep them apart. When Willa appears in his life again, he can't believe she's back, but she isn't alone. What he discovers shakes him to his core. He's determined to get her back, but it won't be that easy. The main characters have great chemistry. They both have trauma from things that happened in their lives. Each is a bit broken and emotionally scarred by their past. Can they come together to heal or will the mistakes and past hurts keep them apart?
I enjoyed this book. It is packed with emotion, heartbreak, and intense feelings. Secret baby and second-chance romance are two of my favorite tropes. The characters in this book stole my heart. My heart broke for what both of the main characters went through in their young lives. Knox wasn't perfect. Actually, he was a hot mess but he grew up a lot when he needed to. Willa was brave and strong and she didn't just roll over and accept Knox back into her life. I liked that she made him work for his redemption. Both of the characters experienced a transformation and growth. I loved the band of brothers Knox had, and that they supported Willa as well. This is the time I've read her books, and I am officially a fan! I can't wait to read the next book in the series! This is Book #2 in this series. It is a standalone that ends with a HEA, but for maximum enjoyment, it is best to start with Book #1, Uncovered.

This book can be read as a standalone, but better if read in order. Knox has had a troubled upbringing to the say the least. He has no trust in people or in love. Until one night he meets a girl who could fix his broken soul. Only to wake up the next morning to an empty bed. He spirals after that, and just coasts through college amidst drinking and one-night stands. His bff’s and self-made family try their best to keep him grounded. Suddenly, Willa, his lost dream girl, shows up on campus. Why did she ghost him? Where has she been? Knox is about to find that out, because Willa has a big secret of her own to share.
I think I enjoyed this book even more than the first! This story is well-written and emotional. Knox has a hard exterior and tough mind set, but a truly big heart. Willa is just as broken as Knox. She’s also just as strong, and just as determined to protect her own heart. Together, they help each other battle their own insecurities and form a heartfelt bond. The characters are well-developed, real, and relatable. I adore the secondary characters. Their bonds with each other are so real and heartfelt. I’m absolutely loving this series!

I don't know what Andi put in to this book, but I was hooked from the beginning. There was something about these characters & this story that I immediately connected with & I was crying like... 10% in to the book.
Both Knox & Willa are complex characters - they both come from REALLY crappy parents (like actually... I hate Willa's dad and Knox's Mom. They both can jump off a cliff for all I care.) - so that leaves them both a bit damaged. The two of them meet a week before high school graduation & it's a whirlwind week of romance and connecting, but it ends with a big bang. I was like... clutching my hand to my chest trying to make the pain stop. I felt all the pain as if it was my own.
Life happens, and they find their way back to each other (obvs or it wouldn't be much of a book would it?) and you feel Willa's pain, but you also feel Knox's pain... and there's a lot of confusion & worries from both sides. But damn - I just love these two together.
Bonus: I just adore this little found family of friends. Whit is so cute & funny in this book and at the end of the epilogue he cracks me up. I can't wait to read his book.
Thanks to Andi and her team for sending me a copy of this book! Loved it :)

“Unknown” is Knox and Willa’s story, as well as the second book in Andi Burns’s Bainbridge University series. I actually really enjoyed this book, secret baby is not a trope I read often but I thought in this book it was really well done! Knox and Willa spent the last week of high school together before going their separate ways, but there was an unexpected consequence to their time together.
I adored Knox and Willa’s second chance romance, it was angsty and emotional but so. freaking. good!!! I’ve loved Knox since book one, and even though most people at Bainbridge think he’s a jerk, I promise you there’s so much more to him than that. Knox is definitely a little broken, and he makes mistakes at times, but he loves with all his heart and soul, and I know he would do anything for Willa and Rose.
Speaking of Willa, I just thought she was so incredibly strong. She had to grow up fast, but she’s amazing and responsible and the most wonderful mother who haha devoted her entire life to raising her daughter. Knox and Willa had a lot to work through, but I was rooting for them to find happiness the whole time. I’d recommend this book to fans of second chance and/or single parent romance novels.

A fantastic, secret baby college romance for Unknown, the second book in the Bainbridge University series and, at first glance Knox is a typical badboy, tatted, pierced, drinking and sleeping his way through college. Till a chance encounter with his high school girlfriend turns his whole world on its head but also turns out to be the making of him. Willa’s life hasn’t been easy, but she’d thought she’d found a place with Knox until she realised that the only person, she can truly rely on is herself especially now she has someone else to consider.
This book has everything. Angst, humour, steam, fantastic characters and fabulous group dynamics. I loved the bond between Knox and his friends. They would literally do anything for each other no matter what and as soon as they found out about Willa, they accepted her as part of their family. I love how with this series blood doesn’t necessarily mean family, sometimes the best family is the one you choose. Saying that I would’ve loved an epilogue with a scene featuring Knox’s introduction to the extended Morelli family en masse.

I received a copy of this book from the publisher/author to review for Stephanie's Book Reports.
This is the story of Knox and Willa. Knox is a guy who knows what it is like to have your heart ripped out and stomped on. His dream girl walked out on him the night after high school graduation. He now is in college only surviving on parties and random hook ups and the help of some of his best friends. But the thing he never would have thought would happen in a million years had happened. He sees Willow on campus and this freaks him out. However he needs to talk to her. He needs to get answers to why she did what she did. Sometimes though you are better off not knowing some things as they will turn your world upside down and inside out. But will that keep him from making her his again? You have to read and find that out for yourself. I will tell you this book is an emotional roller coaster. This book might actually cause a really big book hangover too. But it is so worth reading. I didn't lay this book down I was so hooked on the story.

Although this is the second book in the Bainbridge University series it is actually the first Andi Burns book I have read. The Series is made up of books that can be read as standalone but have characters that overlap. It is a sweet, college/University contemporary romance that has secret baby and second chance tropes. I really liked this book and the storyline, it is an easy read with characters that I just love. I will definitely be reading all of this series to find out how the rest of the guys find their HEA and adding all of Andi’s backlist to my TBR. Please check TW and read responsibly.

Really enjoyed this. Knox was different from what I thought he would be. For some reason, I thought he was going to be an asshole. Once again, I have to mention the guys' friendship. It's my favorite thing about this series. Seriously, the way these guys drop everything to be there for each other is everything. Whit is definitely my favorite. Can't wait to read about his shenanigans with Stefan, the hairless cat. Also, I got a theory about Booker, and if I'm right, his book will probably be angst af.
I'm so curious about Knox's dad. He definitely needs his own book, just saying.

For Knox and Willa, it was love at first site. Neither ha a good up bringing and with a week like to high school, they decided to spent it together. She leaves him after a magical graduation night to wake up alone in the tent the next morning.
A year later they ran until each other on Bainbridge University campus. Everything they thought they know about the past year was wrong. He thought she just him without a care and she thought he rejected her and their child. He never got the message about her pregnancy. They work through the past while navigating the future together.

I absolutely love this book! With every new page I love these characters in this series more and more!
Unknown is a found family, secret baby romance that will have you filled with all the emotions! I absolutely adore Knox and his charming and caring heart! Willa is such a fierce heroine. These two together are spicy and sweet. Andi Burns wrote this book wonderfully! I couldn’t get enough! This found family is definitely one of my favorites that I love every second.
This interconnected standalone series is so great! I definitely recommend this book for all!

This interconnected standalone series is so great! I definitely recommend this book for all!

Knox and Willa
Knox makes and lives his college experience to the fullest in every way. Parties, girls, he does it all. It all began with his dream girl walking out and away from him after a one night stand at high school graduation.
So we experience his shock when he sees said girl, Willa, on campus. He wants answers to why and he wants to see her again. But what he didn’t expect was the answer he got. He never would have thought of what kind of fact she had for him.
These two deserve the best and their love for each other. Willa had to save herself from heartbreak and hurt. And Knox was so determined to make this girl his. He only wanted to love her and be loved by her in return. And, of course, never let her go again.
