Unexpectedly Yours by C. Chilove can be a bit cheesy at times, but it ultimately delivers a charming and enjoyable reading experience.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Love an enemies to lovers with rival families. The family dynamics are frustrating but help move the plot. Not sure why the rating is so low. This book was very, very good.

I received an arc from Netgalley and the publisher.

This is the story of Chris and Carrah. Each born to families of rival cosmetic companies, they were never meant to be friends, let alone business partners… or more. After winning a literary contest that results in a publishing deal, Carrah is faced with a choice– continue to prioritize the family business or pursue her dreams. This leads her to Chris, the enemy, who is also a successful entertainment attorney with experience negotiating book deals. From there, they form a professional partnership that progresses as they navigate the rivalry between their families and their connection with each other.

I enjoyed this book! I was really emotionally invested in Chris and Carrah as their story progressed and was so hopeful they’d end up together– who doesn’t love enemies to lovers! It was a cute story, and a definite page turner. I would absolutely recommend it to others!

Thank you NetGalley, Forever Pub and C. Chilove for the ARC!

This was a cute and easy read. I love a good enemies to lovers and this was perfect! The family rivalry between the characters made for so much growth. I loved the main characters and seeing them slowly interact with each other. There were kind of a lot of side characters and family members to keep track of which got a bit confusing.

This was a really cute and quick read! I loved the plot and I think this was enemies/rivals to lovers done really well. The characters were believable and experience great growth. I loved seeing the relationship between Carrah and Chris gradually develop as more time went by and they spent time together. I really enjoyed their relationship and bond despite their previous differences. It was an easy read and real page tuner. I really enjoyed it!!

Thank you to Forever and NetGalley for the ARC.

I was so happy to be back in Mt. Dora as I only live an hour away from it.
I love loved this book! It was even better than the 1st one!
Chris and Carrah were wonderful characters that drew me in immediately. They kept my attention all the way through.
I especially loved the rivalry between the families. This is what kept me turning the pages because I wanted to find out if Carrah got to realize her dreams in what she really wanted. I kept rooting for her all the way through.
I'm giving this book 5 stars for an entertaining read. I enjoyed every minute of this story. Even the elite or high social class have their problems. No one is perfect and this story shows it which is why I loved it so much. All the characters are flawed.
The one I started out feeling most sorry for was Chris. He couldn't see past the end of his nose. Part of the rivalry I suppose.
This story does offer hope at the end of a long tunnel however and that's what I like also.
Good things come to those who wait and I whole heartedly believe it.
"You came when I least expected, but somehow needed. :
Only when the timing is right..God's timing God's plans.
I was sad when this story ended. I hope she writes more.
My thanks for a copy of this book. I was NOT required to write a positive review. All opinions expressed are mine.

Los Chennault y los Andrews son como el agua y el aceite, por alguna razón se volvieron enemigos y a cada generación les enseñan que no deben confraternizar.


Carrah es la hija mayor de los Andrew, todos le ponen demasiadas responsabilidades y no la dejan ser lo que ella quiere.

Chris es el hijo mayor de los Chennault y como se volvió abogado en lugar de tomar el mando de la empresa familiar, su padre está muy enojado.



Disfrute la historia, pero no se le dió cierre a todos los temas.
