Synopsis

Bookstore owner Aubrey Barnes likes his quiet, orderly London life, thank you very much. His shop may be struggling, his only employee is a menace, and his plumbing is one creaky pipe away from disaster, but he can handle it. Maybe. He cannot, however, handle the film company that's thrown his Soho street into chaos.

And he definitely can't handle the charismatic American actor Blake Sinclair.

Which is why he's extremely reluctant to lease out his shop as a set for Blake's film, but it's his one opportunity to save his business. Now he can't get away from the distractingly hot actor.

Then Aubrey finds himself alone with Blake in a trailer, and what happens next turns London's heat wave into an inferno that leaves him breathless.

Aubrey is not cut out for the high-profile life of dating a celebrity, especially an American actor who's not even out yet. Good thing their tryst is absolutely not going anywhere.

Of course, when you expect nothing, that's exactly when it starts to mean everything.

Contains mature themes.

This review may contain mild spoilers. Hum. What to say? An Unexpected Kind of Love was definitely not what I was expecting. This book had potential, but that’s just it. I didn’t enjoy the writing. At all. I know this is the first book by the author, but I swear I couldn’t read one more sentence about......more

Goodreads review by Marieke on January 19, 2022

Love it, love it, love it! A skeptical British bookstore owner. A charismatic American actor. Cute moments. Witty banter. A heartwarming queer rom-com. I just wanted to read one or two pages to see what this story looked like. I wasn’t planning on devouring the book immediately. But in the end I did......more

This queer romance has so many of my favorite things! A grumpy, messy MC! A hot, charming LI! A crumbling bookstore!! 😍 I really FELT like I was in Soho for the duration of this book, rooting for Aubrey & Blake the whole time. Honestly sad I can’t actually visit Barnes Books. Note: Hayden and I are......more

Goodreads review by Andreas on August 29, 2021

A grumpy London bookstore owner meets a cheerful American actor. Sounds like a really funny rom-com. Sadly, it is not half the fun you’d expect it to be. The book is written in first person, but we hardly ever get any inside view of what’s going on inside Aubrey’s head. It’s always like: “I do this.......more
