USA Today best-selling author Claudia Burgoa brings you a fresh romantic comedy filled with an unexpected surprise, a wicked billionaire, and plenty of laughs. 

The right life is the one you never see coming. 

I had it all. The luxury apartment, hot dates, and the big office to go with long nights at the office. Life was perfect. 

But after a one-night stand, two little lines on a pregnancy test, and three lost legal cases later... Well, overnight I went from career lawyer to single mom. 

It’s okay, I can do it. I’m ready to face this alone until....

Along comes Nathaniel Chadwick. Billionaire adrenaline junky. Everyone’s favorite playboy...and my sister’s brother-in-law. 

He’s as hot as he is jaded. When it comes to relationships and family, he’d rather jump off a cliff. I wrote him off long ago, except since he learned about the baby he’s been by my side. 

Is it pregnancy hormones, or is there something real happening between us? 

I didn’t expect any of this...most of all him.

Fantastic Story with Wonderful Narration

This is the perfect book to add a wealth of talent in the narration department. It was wonderful to listen to Aaron Sherlock, Jason Clarke, Virginia Rose, Brooke Bloomingdale, Teddy Hamilton, Connor Brown and Liam Sanderson bring the characters and their story to life.

If you are looking for a fun, entertaining, emotional read look no further that Didn’t Expect You ( Against All Odds #2), it’s a wonderful, fun story with characters you will love and a plot that will captivate you from the first page to the last line.
Nate and Nyx are complete opposites and at times you wonder if this couple actually have anything in common but as the saying goes “Opposites attract “ but the witty banter they share seems to pull them together to form an unbreakable bond. This is a journey about two people who are strong and independent as individuals but together they become stronger as they embark on the bumpy road to true love. This lighthearted fun read is one of my favourite books by Ms Burgoa, it ticked all my boxes and touched me on so many levels, It’s emotional, it’s funny , I loved Nate and Nyx and I was engrossed in their romance.
Every narrator added their own bit of special to this wonderful listen.

Slow Burn Accidental Pregnancy!

Didn't Expect You by Claudia Burgoa was a fun twist on an accidental pregnancy trope. In this romance, you get Nyx and Nate's story. After listening to Persphone and Ford's story, I was hoping that these two would get together. I loved how their friendship grew into a passionate love story. Nate did a complete 180 and really turned on the charm to take care of Nyx.

This audiobook was narrated by Aaron Shedlock and Virginia Rose with a supporting cast. Both Virginia and Aaron were spot on performing their characters. In Virginia's performance, you could feel Nyx's doubts and devotion! Aaron portrayed Nate's charismatic dedication to Nyx perfectly! I'm looking forward to more from Claudia Burgoa.

An Okay Sequel

First of all I want to say that I enjoyed the cast of narrators. I love the fact that the author chose to use the same actor for each individual character in all her books in the series. It just makes them stand out. Although I love Nix, I didn’t care for her as much as I did for her sister. I think the fact that I feel that way is I had to stop in the middle of the audiobook to listen to other books, then go back and finish this. It took me a while to remember what was happening, but by then I was so lost with the momentum of the story. The chemistry between Nate and Nix didn’t seem as palpable to me.

I’m happy that they got their HEA, and that Nate was able to adopt the baby, but we never really fully found out what happened to the baby daddy. I know there’s another book in the series and I’m anxious to listen to that one considering Teddy Hamilton is one of my favorite narrators. I can already anticipate it being good.

Still, I don’t want to say many negative things about it because I did enjoy it and Claudia knows how to put humor into her romance. I did laugh, but not as much as I did in her first book of the series. She still one of my favorite new authors.

No win situation

Unwanted and unexpected pregnancy. Had sex with some relative of the bosses for recreation. Protection not as good as it should have been. Fired by the boss for unrelated reason. Met sole mate. Characters mostly under developed. We never even met the baby daddy. But what was there was entertaining.

Such a great story!

Oh I absolutely loved this book!! Such a great story & made me feel good listening to it.
The narration was so extremely well done!

Great!

This was unexpected but so good. This is one of those stories that hit you in the feels from beginning to end. Nyx and Nate are so different yet so alike that it was hard to not see them together. What I loved most of their relationship was that it developed organically. Yes, you can feel their attraction but their actual coming together doesn't happen overnight and as a reader, you are invested. As much as Nate would want to be portrayed differently, he actually is sweet and protective and I loved seeing Nyx bring out that out in him. Sometimes the unexpected is exactly what you need. After having read this and then listening to the audio, it brought a totally different side to the story. It comes to life and I could picture everything. I actually couldn't stop. The cast does such a great job with these characters and it has also given me a few new favorite narrators to listen to.

Didn't Expect You

I have read a number of Claudia's books recently and I have enjoyed all of them. It was fun to come back to this series after having read the book after this one first.

Nyx is pregnant after a one-night stand and the last person she expects to have a connection with is her sister's brother-in-law, Nate. Their relationship developed slowly, but the story didn't drag at all. It was sweet how much he supported Nyx and came to care for the baby too. They are two of my favorite characters Claudia has written!

This book has some amazing narrators including a few that are my all time favorites. They did a wonderful job with the characters and story, and I am so glad I got to listen to the audiobook.

Incredible story and narration

I loved the narrators for this audiobook. If I had to choose narrators for Nate and Nix they would be it. It was spot on and brought this book to life! Nate makes me swoon. This was a easy listen to. Definitely made me forget reality as I got lost in Claudia’s words.

EPIC audiobook!!!

☆☆☆☆☆ 5 STARS

I can't get enough of Claudia's books. All of her characters have the ability to entice and pull you into their stories! This one did just that, Nyx and Nate's story was wholly charming. The narration was on point. Didn’t Expect You by Claudia Burgoa is an EPIC audiobook that will join the ranks of the BIBLIO-ARISTOCRACY!!!

Loved Nyx and Nate!

Nate is the perfect book boyfriend! The guy who has it all and doesn't want to fall in love, but can't help it. He proves time and time again that he loves Nyx in every way even before they are a thing. This story gave me all of the feels and I absolutely fell in love with Nate. I loved Nyx's crazy family and the banter between the siblings. This was such a great story!

The narrators did a great job bringing this story to life. There are a lot of narrators, but I will say I didn't recognize that many different voices. They did a great job though and I loved the story!

Nyx and Nate!

Nyx has always been the one in her family that others go to whenever they need assistance or advice. She is focused on her career as a lawyer and has plans for what she wants her future to look like and it didn’t include getting pregnant by a man she never wants to see again. She is floundering as she adjusts to her new normal but the last person she expected to be her support system was Nate, the brother of the man her sister is marrying.

Nate is a man who has been focused on his career as well and isn’t looking for love or a relationship. He has always been attracted to Nyx so when he finds out about the baby she is carrying he is determined to be there to support her through all the ups and downs whether she wants it or not.

Nate and Nyx have a lot of similarities both when it comes to their careers, their families and their views on relationships. They both believed they knew the direction they wanted their future to take until they found what they didn’t know they were looking for in each other. Although the story is told primarily by two narrators the narrators for the secondary characters added a new dimension to the experience.

A good read

A sweet romance between Nat and Nix with a quirky but lovable family. Some funny moments. An altogether good read. No cliffhangers and a nice HEA.
