SYNOPSIS:
Trent
Decker’s life was turned upside down when Alex, his longtime
girlfriend, abandoned him and their newborn son. Trying to put order
back in his chaotic life, he never expects to fall for his sister’s
best friend, Noelle. When another man seems to be stealing her heart,
the years of holding his feelings for her inside come out. He lays it
all on the line, hoping she chooses him. Noelle’s indecisiveness
and an unanticipated visit from his past, causes him to take a step
back and focus on making things right for his son, but can he stay
away?
Noelle
Grant prides herself on her life being in perfect order: a great job,
great friends and the occasional fling to satisfy her needs. When her
latest conquest, Jace, crashes into her life, she believes he may be
the one to keep for more than just a night or two. That is until
Trent, her best friend’s sexy, little brother, makes his feelings
known and turns her structured world inside out. Exploring her
feelings for both men adds complications and when Trent starts to
pull away she believes Jace is what she needs. But is he what she
wants?
Will Noelle stay with the safer choice or will she risk everything for the one who makes her come completely undone?
Undone Excerpt
“You
need to move back more. I can only think with my lady parts if you
are that close.”
He
lets out a full blown laugh but moves back.
“We
don’t just have us to think about, Trent. If we get together and
something happens it can affect my friendship with Erin, my dinners
with your family, time with Jason and your nieces and nephews. What
if this doesn’t work out?”
“Noelle,
please stop with the ‘what ifs’?” His frustration is starting
to surface. “Can you honestly tell me that you would regret it more
if we tried and it didn’t work than if we didn’t see this through
at all?”
“I
don’t know and I think that’s what the problem is. I need to
think this through and figure all that out.” Standing up I grab my
glass of wine and empty it. “I need to go.”
He
follows me towards the door but grabs me just before I reach it. “You
promise to think about it? Do that entire ‘pro and con’ list shit
that you like to do? Weigh all the options, Noe, because I have. I
would rather you and I try it out and promise to stay friends if it
doesn’t than the alternative.”
“I
promise to give some serious thought to this. You know I don’t do
long term and I know you don’t want the short term version so just
let me think,” I plead.
“Go
on a date with me then. Just one. You gave Jace today, I deserve the
same don’t I?” He slides his hand down my arm and clasps my
fingers around his.
“Okay.
Call me tomorrow and we can make plans.” I agree standing as high
as my toes will allow and kiss him on the cheek. “Bye, Trent. We’ll
talk tomorrow.”
“Bye,
Noe.” He opens the door and grabbing my face he places the gentlest
of kisses on my forehead.
Pulling
my bag off my shoulder, I dig around for my keys. I don’t notice
that Jace is outside leaning on his car.
“You
know the window is open?” He calls out pointing towards Trent’s
house.
I
turn around and find the blinds pushed to the side so you can see
directly into the house.
“Listen,
Jace. I know what that might have looked like but…”
“You
don’t have to explain it to me, Noelle. I saw you push him away.”
He shoves off from his car and meets me in the middle of the street.
“But I also saw you two kiss and I have to say that hurt. I just
don’t understand why I feel so territorial over you. I don’t want
him touching you. I should take you inside my house and erase every
touch of his.”
Looking
down I feel guilty. If he only knew how he touched me earlier in the
night.
“Do
you want him?” He asks bringing me out of my daze.
“I
still don’t know,” I say with conviction looking up because I
don’t have a clue.
“Do
you want me?”
“I
don’t know that either.”
He’s
the safer choice. If things don’t work out with Jace, or he is just
another notch on my long belt full of notches, there is absolutely no
collateral damage. There is no possibility of losing a friend or
people that I call family, and I’m attracted to Jace. I normally
don’t feel so connected to someone right away besides physically
but there is something about him that makes me want to know him
better.
But
I can’t lose Trent.
There
is no denying the sexual chemistry between the two of us, and I know
that we would be explosive in the bedroom. Deep down inside I’ve
always wanted something with him but until today I didn’t realize
it was there.
REVIEW 5 STARS
Undone is the second book in the Unexpected series, you do not have to read the first book, Unexpected, but it's also a very good read so you should read both. I was very surprised by Undone, I wasn't sure how the author was going to handle Noelle Grant's character, she's very OCD to the point where you can't help but laugh about it at times, and Trent being who he is, stubborn, sexy and sometimes brooding, I wasn't sure what to expect.
Trent Decker, you will love him and have the urge to throw things at him at the same time. He has been through a lot in the past couple of years, the woman that he once loved and had a child with, left him and abandoned their son, this has really put a large wall up around Trent when it comes to love. Little by little his heart starts to go crazy over his sisters best friend, Noelle, the problem is he isn't coming clean with his feelings to her.
Noelle Grant is fiercely independent, she has a lot of rules when it comes to relationships and in her daily life. She is spunky as hell and isn't scared to go after what she want's, she's also thinks that Trent Decker, her friends bother is Smoking HOT. Noelle also loves Trent's son Jason, the parts in the book that are with Noelle and Jason are very sweet and will tug on your heart.
Just When Trent decides he needs to tell Noelle how he feels, Jace comes into her life and Noelle thinks that he maybe the man that she's been waiting on, soon a battle of passion between these three characters starts. This book has a lot of emotion, I felt many things while reading it, there were times I was sad, angry and laughing. The sexual tension between Noelle and Trent is amazing, I really loved Undone and recommend that you add it to your reading list.
