Summary: Unexpected Is Fantastic
Review: Eli Conners has requested for the meanest mercenary that the agency has available. He needs help in rescuing his younger brother from a dangerous situation in Central America. The merc he gets literally takes his breath away. Ray Vereker is not your ordinary mercenary, for one thing, she is a woman. Her looks and delicate features are deceiving. Ray has sharp skills and knowledge to take on any man or woman. Ray can handle any situation but she didn't plan on this amazing attraction to Eli. Eli makes her feel and see things that she has never let into her life before and it scares her more then any mission. Eli realizes a woman like Ray comes along once in a lifetime. He really has his work cut out for him trying to convince her that they have what it takes to make it as a couple. Add to that mix, now there is a baby on the way, which really makes their situation more interesting. Lori Foster has another hit on her hands. This story has such depth and passion. It sizzles and will make you laugh out loud. This book is a must have.

Summary: Adventure and Romance all in one............................
Review: Eli is looking for a rough and tumble mercenary who can rescue his brother out of Central America before they kill his brother. He never expected Ray to walk in the door, a beautiful couldn't get her confused with a mercenary even if you tried woman. She had millitary experience and had done this before; rescuing americans from kidnappers. Ray wants to keep things very business like since she can sense the chemistry between Eli and herself and she doesn't need any complications but Eli has other ideas. Once in the jungle one thing leads to another. Now that they have taken care of all their business in Central America something unexpected has happened and Ray and Eli have to work it out. I really liked this book. It definitly lives up to a Lori Foster novel. The characters are very well developed and have lots of depth. This book has several twists and turns once the rescue and sex takes place. Romance waites for them in the states read the book and find out what. Very warm book with lots of things to keep you going..

Summary: Finally... a heroine just as tough as a hero
Review: For once there's a female lead who can stand toe to toe with the male lead and not come off as obnoxious or unlikable. I love reading romance and it isn't always easy to keep myself from wanting to throttle a wimpy, foolish female "heroine." Lori Foster's Ray is no simpering, weak fool. She can definately hold her own in any situation and that's what I loved most about this book, not to mention the steamy love scenes! Ray is a nice mix of strong and vulnerable. I highly recommend this book because it's not often you find a strong female protagonist who can throw-down in a fight or in the bedroom.

Summary: I agree, not one of Lori Foster's better work.
Review: I am sorry to say but I must agree with most of the reviewers here..."Unexpected" was not one of Lori Foster's usual high impact and sexy piece of writing. It took me over two weeks to finish this book, when I usually read them in one sitting! I kept on hoping that going back to it later on will get me interested, but no success... What should have been a short story was stretched into a full book, it was painful to read Ray's ongoing struggles on proving herself capable in her profession, and hard to believe Eli's continual amusement at her prickiness. Will be recycling this one, folks.

Summary: Not one of her best efforts
Review: I enjoy reading Lori Foster's books, but this one was disappointing. The plot was not very deep and I never felt there was any real suspense or danger. I would prefer reading Nora Roberts or Linda Howard to this book. It was especially disappointing when the book cost over $10.

Summary: Long, tedious, and not her best
Review: I have loved Lori Foster since I read "Too Much Temptation". I have read everything she has written; and while I have yet to find a book as good as "Too Much Temptation", I have loved her books until this one. The story line is long and sometimes boring. In the beginning, I had trouble figuring out what Ray's job was and what her connection to Eli was going to be. It wasn't until the third(?)or fourth chapter that I found out what her purpose with Eli was. I also grew tired of Ray's tough-girl attitude. I found that I had to leave the book for a while and come back to it later. This is DEFINITELY NOT one of her best, but I will continue to read her work. I can only hope that she can write another book as good as "Too Much Temptation".

Summary: Not a great book...Unexpectedly...
Review: I have to agree with the majority of the reviewers and say that this book is not one of Lori Foster's best. However, i still bought it to read because i had always loved Lori Foster's novels and thought i would at least give it a chance. Alas, i should have paid more attention to the wiser readers/reviewers...this book was ...not good. Usually you can count on Lori Foster to deliver a well paced, sexy story with great interesting characters, but this book as a little..off. Ray jean is the heroine who is a female mercenary. She is hired by Eli to rescue his little brother (jeremey) who is being held hostage in central america. While Ray may be a mercenary, she never comes across as tough or independent or even likeable. The relationship between the two seems forced and predictable- with none of the usual plot twists, excitement that is usually found in Lori Foster's books. I found the plot to be predictable and plodding--it was hard to even finish the book. Hopefully the next book she writes will return to her usually stellar stories..for now, give this book a miss.

Summary: Happily Surprised
Review: I have to disagree strongly with the readers who didn't like this book, or felt it wasn't up to Lori Foster's usual standards.
Unexpected has action and a hot romance. More than that, I really like the character of Ray, a woman who has never felt 'normal' or that she fit in with the rest of the world. Imagine her distress at finding herself pregnant, soon to be responsible for the care and rearing of a child. Ray's love for her unborn child is matched only by her insecurities and makes her a likeable and sympathetic character.
Lori Foster has never, IMHO, let a reader down, and Unexpected is no exception.
