Story
My accidental solo vacation takes a turn for the less depressing after a drink that leads to a date with a brawny bedroom-eyed firefighter. I’m 42, divorced, with two daughters at home. I thought romance was in my rearview mirror until the mysteriously intense Leo made me feel like I was the only woman in the Florida Keys. I know better than to get attached. But between midnight kisses and dirty talk under starry skies, our connection feels so real. So right.

Story
My life was always at a simmer… only stewing, never going anywhere. I was left to fend for myself when it came to affection or love, so I learned to go without. I refused to let them see how broken and lonely I was; it was much easier to hide behind a false reality. I didn't want anyone's pity. I didn't need it. Pity wouldn't put food on the table or keep a roof over our heads. That was all me. Now, I have a second chance at a dream long forgotten. It demands hard work and sacrifice - with absolutely no distractions. A recipe I already know all too well, raising a daughter on my own.

Once I saw Marnie Long, a sassy, sultry, charismatic older woman in a bar, I couldn’t peel my eyes off her. I wanted her. At least, for one night. I’m way too busy with my career these days for anything more. As it turned out, after recently getting burned, Marnie was on the same page as me—all she wanted was one night of fun. I was happy to be of service. What I didn’t expect during our night together, however, was how deeply we connected. And how much I was dying to see her again the next morning.

Future You here, coming to offer a little advice: Hang on for dear life. This summer is going to be a wild one. I know what you’re thinking: Life’s going so well! I don’t have a care in the world! Wrong. That culinary career you love so much? It’s about to go up in smoke, and your boyfriend? Yeah...he’s a goner too. If only love were as simple as, say, actually adding yourself to the lease agreement so you don’t suddenly find yourself loveless, jobless, and homeless!

Rule number one for having a one-night stand: Don’t fall for the girl. After a lengthy dating slump, I finally met someone who sparked my interest. Well, first the sparks flew when we argued. Later in the evening those sparks ignited into something more. I was drawn to Devyn, in a way I hadn’t felt in a really long time. Needless to say, I was disappointed when she abruptly left after our amazing night together. I couldn’t stop thinking about her. But she hadn’t even given me her number. In a city with eight-million people, I figured I’d never see Devyn again.

Publisher's summary
Peyton
After a risky affair cost me my self-respect, my credibility, and almost my job, I jump at the guidance counselor position that opens up in Uncle Keith’s small town. He’s the only father I’ve ever really known and the one I can turn to—even when I can’t tell him why.
No one here knows what a mess I am, and this clean slate seems perfect. At least until I run into my old crush, who’s only gotten better looking with age.
I won’t be another man’s dirty little secret, even if that crush I had as a teenager blossomed into something much more—something I can’t face.
Reasons why absolutely nothing can happen between us:
1. Jake is the single dad of one of my new students.
2. Age gap. Age gap. Age gap.
3. He’s my uncle’s best friend.
Jake
I didn’t realize the curvy brunette I flirted with outside my son’s school was my buddy’s sweet, shy niece, all grown-up now. I know better than to get involved.
My marriage crumbled, leaving me and my son with damage we’re still repairing. The last thing I need is to start something with someone 14 years younger. Did I mention she’s the police chief’s surrogate daughter?
I’m old enough to know better, but I can’t keep my hands off her. I never expected to fall this hard. Even though it’s all wrong, nothing has ever felt this right.

Mav disappeared before I could ever tell him about the child I carried. I’ve had years to get over him, and I’ve tried. But the second I see him again my heart lurches and it’s like all that time evaporates. I still burn for him, even though I know it’s a bad idea. I try to remind myself about the bad things: his possessiveness, his quick temper...but he’s different now. More mature. Protective. Settled. And hiding something. Something bigger than the child we share.

Story
The night we met in the dimly lit bar, she looked like a brunette bombshell, and I wanted to learn her deepest secrets. With sun-kissed skin and soulful bedroom eyes, she was pure temptation, and I was mesmerized. As one drink led to two, I craved more of her playful banter and taunting lips. Resisting her wasn't an option, and we quickly became a desperate mess of tangled limbs and hot kisses. She tasted like the sweetest sin, but I was no saint.

The annoying jerk my parents forced me to play with as a kid grew up to be a sexy, grumpy baker who still can’t stand me. Sure, maybe I enjoy our bitter banter, his cocky smirk, his chocolate chip cookies. But there’s a reason I can’t play nice. You’re wondering why—if I hate the guy so much—did I agree to be his fake date to his cousin’s wedding? Look. Just because I love being a pain in the man’s well-formed butt doesn’t mean I want someone else torturing him. Especially not the ex-fiancée who left him for his best friend.

Story
My life was always at a simmer… only stewing, never going anywhere. I was left to fend for myself when it came to affection or love, so I learned to go without. I refused to let them see how broken and lonely I was; it was much easier to hide behind a false reality. I didn't want anyone's pity. I didn't need it. Pity wouldn't put food on the table or keep a roof over our heads. That was all me. Now, I have a second chance at a dream long forgotten. It demands hard work and sacrifice - with absolutely no distractions. A recipe I already know all too well, raising a daughter on my own.

It all started a month ago when I received a call from my best friend, Kinsley. She’d gotten a new job in Chicago and needed a place to stay. I've known the girl since I was five, so I figured there wouldn't be any harm in having her stay at my place for a while. Ha! Total disaster.

Peyton & Jake
This was a feel good story with an age gap trope and single dad that I adored. Teddy Hamilton and Rose Dioro were great. They brought these characters to life with just the right voice and tenor. They made the story more enjoyable and a great listen while working. Stephanie Rose wrote a beautiful love story that was sweet and sexy and all in between. It had all the feels and was a great listen.

Love it!
An Unexpected Turn is a sweet, single dad romance with characters that I absolutely adored. Jake and Peyton romance was a little forbidden as she was his son’s guidance counselor and he’s her uncles best friend. They had amazing chemistry and could not fight their feelings for each other. I loved the relationship that Peyton formed with his son. This story was heartwarming and low on drama and I have fallen completely in love with Stephanie’s writing!
Teddy Hamilton and Rose Dioro narrate this book and they did an amazing job bringing Jake and Peyton to life. Teddy was great at bringing Jake’s protective dad and Rose was perfect at portraying Peyton sweet and caring personality. I loved both of their performances.

Age gap, dual POV, secret pining—it’s so good!
Story Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️✨ 4.5/5
Audiobook Rating: 🎧🎧🎧🎧🎧 (0-5)
Overall Rating: 4.75/5
Steam: 🔥🔥🔥🔥 (0-5) I like to bump up for video chat fun and self-pleasuring type scenes.
What I’m Starry-Eyed Over:
🤩 Starting Back is book two in the series and one of my 2023 reads that lives rent free in my head. So, I had to try book one—Peyton and Jake’s story. They are both available in audiobook now!
🤩 For some of us, all we need to see is Teddy Hamilton, right?! He does attraction and secret pining oh so good. I’m so sorry Rose Dioro, my notes have failed me. But obviously I loved it.
🤩 Small town (but close to a big city)—take me to Kelly Lakes!
🤩 Age gap. Dual POV. And, secret pining!!!
🤩 The absolutely mouth-watering attraction.
🤩 She’s Jake’s son’s guidance counselor & oh so sweet to both of them.
🤩 He’s Peyton’s uncle’s best friend. Forbidden romance!!
🤩 Guidance counselor love—my daughter would not have made it through high school without her guidance counselor.
🤩 Forced proximity with the carpentry work she needs done!
🤩 Slowish burn to fireworks! Yeah, I definitely listened to chapter 16 twice.
🤩 Whenever I started to think the secret might be going on too long, I’d be rewarded with something adorable or super steamy!! Thank you for the enjoyable entertainment.
What I’m Wishing/Dizzy About:
💫 The secret keeping is long, but I’m mostly annoyed with the Uncle Keith part—his unavailability, his reaction. It’s all part of the plot, and I’m here for it! It’s so hard to be a book reviewer. I’m not sure if my annoyance should make it a 4.5 or a 5-star read. It is all about the feels.

Sweet and Sizzling Love Story!
I love a sexy single dad romance and when you add in a little bit of the forbidden I am all in! I was completely captivate by Jake and Peyton's sweet, and sizzling love story. Peyton moved in with her Uncle, who has been a loving, supportive, father figure to her. She is looking for a fresh start, after a heartbreaking end to a bad relationship, and is excited for her new job as a school councilor. Jake is happy that his son, Michael, is living with him full time. Mike is feeling abandon by his mother and nervous to start a new school. Peyton really helps Mike feel at ease on his first day at school. When Jake picks Mike up at the end of the day, he is surprised that the beautiful councilor by Mike's side is his best friends young niece. Peyton was also surprised that her student's father is her past teen crush, and is even more handsome and sexy, but is also off limits for so many reasons. Jake and Peyton have a strong fiery connection right from the start. They try to fight the growing chemistry between them, not wanting to hurt the family they love so dearly. But they are unable to stay away, and give in to all their passions. They keep it a secret at first, but as time passes, and their love grows, Peyton is unwilling to be a dirty secret again. This beautiful story charmed me, made me laugh and cry, and also swoon, as my heart melted for their little family. I loved how Jake and Peyton navigated thru each obstacle without a lot of angst but just enough heart-pounding turmoil to keep me riveted. I loved Peyton and her selfless concern for everyone while being strong enough to do what was best for her. Jake was so swoony with his unending love and patience. He is definitely a sexy hero who will make your heart skip a beat!
Rose Dioro, and Teddy Hamilton are terrific capturing each characters personality. I love the emotion, and passion they bring to their performance. I was so enthralled from beginning to end, and was totally invested in Peyton and Jake’s story.
This is a beautiful, and hopeful romance about letting go of the past, forgiveness, believing in second chances, and finding that forever love. I also love a great epilogue, and this one made me swoon and left me with happy tears!

Sweet small town story with a sexy single who falls in love with his best friend’s niece. Its a feel good story that’s perfect if you’re in the mood for a sweet story.

Absolutely Loved It!
Do not miss out on this!! Rose Dioro and Teddy Hamilton did an absolutely phenomenal job bringing this story to life. This might be one of the best narration duos I’ve heard in a long time and I am here for it!
This book was a swoon fest. Easily one of my favorite things about age gap stories like this is how the hero worships the heroine with a sophisticated reverence. Jake and Peyton are adorable and their chemistry is irresistible. I loved that while there were obstacles, they weren’t ashamed of their relationship. They’re the perfect balance and it made me love them that much more.
“You’re beautiful, always.”
Stephanie Rose has definitely delivered on all the feels with this one - but that extended epilogue - gah! It was absolutely everything!
