The heartbreak of losing your soulmate is one of the worst pains you will ever live with. I should campaign and warn the young people. Vaccinate against love because if you lose it, you could lose yourself for the rest of your life. The burden on your back will forever mark you and wither away your soul, darkening your days and the rest of your natural life. This isn’t false advertisement or a dramatic display of one bitter soul. Pria I fought by my mother's side until her last breath, and tried to help my father until his last memories dissipated. My sister is the last one standing, but her life is a miracle that can end at any given moment.

I absolutely love the Colhurst-Decker clan and Ms. Burgoa keeps me falling for them!
This third book in the series was about Jacob Christian (JC), the eldest triplet, and Pria Walker, a young woman he meets in the bookstore at college. This story was such a wonderfully, gut-wrenching surprise to me. It was not what I expected. I knew from and even more so from that JC had some inner demons but I had no clue just how bad it was and just how deep. The story starts with JC, merely an adult, at 18 and as sexy as ever. I loved this description of Jacob - '.he's the ripping-your-clothes, making-you-come-with-one-stare kind of guy.'
His first encounter with Pria has him sprouting all kinds of foolish, romantic nonsense. He's taken with her and these two abandon all responsibility and spend one wildly, wonderful and unforgettable week together. It's young love and the two of them are filled with hopes and dreams. The world is at their fingertips. At the end of this week, Pria must face her overbearing mother and the heavy responsibilities and burdens placed upon her. Both JC and Pria part in the belief that they will see each other again, soon. Unfortunately, their beautiful dreams scatter with the wind and it's years before they actually speak to one another again.
During this time apart, life happens and they both face loss, setbacks and disappointments. JC and Pria handle the hands their dealt differently. Pria is a brilliantly strong and heartwarming character and she truly demonstrates strength of spirit. JC suffers a lot and is stuck. While a rock star that should be on top of the world, he turns to alcohol and one-night stands to numb it all.very similar to AJ.
Through these dark times, Ms. Burgoa has this gift for conveying the mood so easily with her words. I recall at first, having a hard time connecting with AJ because she was numb but as soon as she exposed herself, I fell in love. Likewise, while each of these stories have been drastically different, Ms. Burgoa is able to readily capture the emotion and the reader can't help but be consumed by the feelings.
This story covers the broad spectrum of feelings from love, friendship, heartbreak, anger, loss, forgiveness and of course, that powerful sense of family. When Jacob and Pria finally reconnect. They still have to navigate many obstacles - the biggest one of all is Jacob - to find their way back to one another. I lost myself in Jacob and Pria, much like I did with the other books. I can't say enough about how much I adore this series and these characters. As I read these stories, I feel like I'm part of this family (okay, so I wish I was too;) and can't help but swell with the love and loyalty that this group have for each other.
This is not a standalone, to truly understand the story and characters you must read the first two books before this one. If you've not read this series or this author, I strong recommend that you do. If you love books that creep up on you and steal your heart, then you'll love this series!! I seriously can't wait for Mattie's book.
I may be reading too much into it but I think Ms. Burgoa left us a few bread crumbs as to the direction of his story. Whether my hunch is right or not, I'm anxiously awaiting! **An ARC generously provided by Claudia Burgoa in exchange for an honest review.*** For more reviews and blog posts.
5 Sinful Stars I am a bit biased when it comes to Ms. Burgoa because all of her books knock me off my feet and tackle all of my emotions. She has the ability to take a small twist in a story and blow it up to where you will find yourself wondering what the hell just happened.

Damn, this is why I love reading all of Ms. Burgoa's books!! From the very beginning of 'Unlike Any Other' Jacob has been a favorite of mine and I couldn't wait for his story ---- after meeting Pria, I knew these two would be sending sparks flying at each other. What started out as a sweet and innocent flirting as young adults, turned into the raw desire and love as adults. What a fantastic story but just make sure you start at the beginning to get the full effect of the family. 4 'angst-ridden' stars is full of angst and put me through the wringer for almost the entire read.
I am emotionally exhausted from all the highs and lows of Jacob Decker's life. First of all, I should really learned my lesson for not reading the series according to sequence. Please be warned that you will be lose with the entire Decker Family dynamic, the key characters names/alias and their relationships.

I was fooled in the beginning of the story when I met the sweet guy, Jacob Decker, who is full of dreams and aspiration. He met Pria and was smitten with her on first sight. I even swooned over his horrible pick up lines. 'It's written in the stars. You and I are it. Destined to be together - forever.'
They have a wonderful whirlwind romance for a week before a series of unfortunate events torn them apart. What follow next is a never ending load of angst that drove me cuckoo.
Ten years later, when fate allow Pria and Jacob's path cross again they are no longer who they used to be. There is nothing left of the sweet boy that Pria fell in love with. Cue more angst to commence when Jacob is dealing with shitload of anger, bitterness, guilt, resentment and loss in his life. 'I met her back when we both had dreams and believed we could take on the world, and now we both are a couple of ghosts floating with no direction.' I had to give it to Claudia Burgoa for crafting such a three dimensional and thought provoking story even though I'm so mad with so many things. I felt that Jacob's issue that causes all these angst was drag on for too long.
I would definitely appreciate if it get settle much earlier. There is a moment that I was worried the HEA is not worth all the heartache I went through, but surprisingly it did. Thank God for that. I will definitely be reading the next book because well. I need to see more of their future after being tortured through their whole story.
Recommended for those who enjoy a healthy dose of angst and don't mind that 'reality hurts'.

This is Jacob's and Pria' *ARC received from author via blog tour* 4.5 ★ This is a first Claudia read for me and this is another situation where I'm glad I got the opportunity to read her stuff. Talk about a thousand feels!!! And by that, I mean heart getting squished throughout the story. This is the 3rd book in the series, I haven't read the first 2 and I felt that was ok. I'm sure my reading experienced would've been enhanced if I read in sequence but I don't think it took anything away. This is Jacob's and Pria's journey to getting to their HEA. Jacob and Pria met in their late teens.
Jacob, yet unjaded, talked with the earnestness of an 18-yr old boy with Pria. Pria, on the other hand, burdened with responsibilities too early in life, was cautious and unable to grab life by the horn until she met Jacob. 'You're an entire song about to be written, a song I'll play for eternity, Twinkle.' 'Can you hear the notes? As your soul touches mine, we create sounds that become music as we move. Our melodies will transcend the stars, they'll remain in what you called the never-ending sky.' .Every strum of his guitar, every word he recites caresses every cell of my body, as if feathery kisses are showering my sould as he captures my heart with the sound of each note.
In a matter of days, I suppose their fate has been sealed. An emotion-filled weekend that was meant to be more ended up being just that due to circumstances.
They both have to move forward given their choices, or lack thereof. Things happen, other people get involved, they grow up. Sigh.Yet, have they really moved on? From young love to star-crossed love in mere moments, it then moved to being second-chance love, a fave trope. With the history they have, there's much to know and learn, much to understand, much to heal.
From the first moment Jacob started spouting his cheesy lines, I was hooked. Only young love can evoke such emotion, I tell ya! As he got older, he morphed into this artist with a tortured soul and I couldn't have been any more enamored. And my heart just broke for Pria. I agree, she could've turned into a bitter person because of all the things she's had to deal with but no, she still ends up being the lightness to Jacob's darkness.
She remained honest to her feelings and grateful for what she had. And Claudia's writing is just pure poetry.
I can't explain it any other way. If you're looking for a good angst-y read, look no further. I know I'll be turning to Claudia's books when I'm in that mood. I'm telling you, these emotions just won't leave me.
I think imma need a few days to shake em off. Thanks, Claudia, thanks! *insert sarcastic but grateful tone* HAH! 2 Stars Uncharted was my first novel by Ms. Burgoa and even though this is a standalone story for Pria and Jacob, it's the third book in the series. I really think that my ability to enjoy this book would have been a lot higher if I had read the first two. While I don't feel like I needed to read the first two to understand Pria and Jacob, there were a lot of other characters that played major roles in this book that I just didn't fully understand and that detracted from my ability to really imme 2 Stars Uncharted was my first novel by Ms.

I really think that my ability to enjoy this book would have been a lot higher if I had read the first two. While I don't feel like I needed to read the first two to understand Pria and Jacob, there were a lot of other characters that played major roles in this book that I just didn't fully understand and that detracted from my ability to really immerse myself in this story. Told is dual pov in two parts (past and present), we watch Jacob and Pria struggle with the choices they make and how they affect the rest of their lives. Part one follows Jacob and Pria as they meet on the first day of college. Jacob is in college for a year fulfilling a a directive from his parents. After a year he's hoping to take over his families entertainment business and start his own band with this twin sister and brother.
Pria is finally trying to make a life of her own away from her controlling family. When they meet, Jacob declares that he is sure they are souls mates. This at first scares Pria but after running into each other three more times, a connection is sparked. Finally Pria gives in after realizing she has to go back home and help take care of her sick sister.
Jacob pushes her to spend her last few days with him. After spending a week together, forces beyond both of them pull them apart and they spend the next 10 years trying to move on but only falling further behind. Part two joins Jacob and Pria in the present as they've spent the last 10 years trying to overcome all the trauma, bad choices, and failed relationships. While I was very excited by the blurb to read Pria and Jacob's story, I didn't feel like I ever fully connected with either of them. The story started off strong but as their story unfolded I felt a little lost. The way time moved in the story was very erratic. Within one or two pages, time would move between minutes and months and I had a hard time keeping up.
This is also where I think it would have been good to have read the first two books. Part 1 was all about the past and it just seemed to be a really long overview. It didn't feel like it was happening as I read it but like someone was just telling me about it instead. The other part that really made me struggle with this story were the reasons these two were separated for so long. Misunderstanding was the first major reason.
I could get behind that one I guess based on the events that led up to it but after that it became a little unbelievable and kind of ridiculous. Jacob was the major reason for all the problems in the book his reasons for distancing himself even after seeing Pria again after 10 years were eye roll inducing. I did like that after everything Pria and Jacob were able to overcome all their issues and find their HEA but I would have loved for the epilogue to be a bigger part of the story instead of all the over the top problems they faced.

'A sublime and blissful hell of grief and guilt.' Claudia Burgoa hit this one out of the park, it's amazing. It was the cover that caught my attention. Being a music lover I can't resist a guitar on the cover, it's like a clearance sign at Target, drawing my attention.
I didn't go all the way back to the first book, I started with Unsurprisingly Complicated, Mason and Nine's story. I knew from reading that book that JC had a broken heart, but I had no idea what had happened.

I knew from reading that book that JC had a broken heart, but I had no idea what had happened. I just knew that he was sad and lonely.
I was very excited to finally read his story and get the history of his heartache. The author took me on a journey, stretching my heart, making room to include even more colorful characters.
She captured my attention, squeezed my emotions, provoked my frustration, and increased my anxiety as I anticipated the worst and hoped for the best. I totally fell in love with young JC, the inexperienced, awkward, teenager with the poet's heart and the big dreams.
He touched me deeply with his lyrics, his tender heart, his intentions and promises. Reading this story in alternating POV's placed me in the heads of Jason & Pria and it was a beautiful and sometimes painful process. I have the worst book hangover ever, I have literally been up all night long, I could not stop reading this heart wrenching, thought provoking story.
There were surprises and twists and turns that I was not expecting. It was so much more than I hoped for, and it will stay with me for a while.
Isn't that the best kind of book? The ones that keep running through your mind and you can't turn it off?
I guess I should have paid more attention to the name of the series, cuz it really was Unexpected. ☆ I received an RC via the author in exchange for an honest review. ☆ I'll be the first to say, that before you go into this book, it would be best to get the full experience and 411 of all the characters by reading from bk1.

With the two main leads, Jason and Pria, being so young and quite inexperienced to life and love, it was a fulfilling journey although even if it was at times tough.
I really felt in synch with all of the characters, their plights and their emotions. Definitely, a recommended read for all!! This series just keeps getting better and better with each story. I swear, the emotions have gotten more intense. I thought Mason's story was heart wrenching, but poor JC.he went through so much that it jaded him for such a long time. That poor girl had so much responsibility and loss thrown at her and seeing how she got through it all was a testament to her strength and character. She was one tough cookie.

She was one tough cookie. Both Pria and JC had such an instant connection that after a short period of time, they were the unforgettable love for each other.
Misunderstandings and unfortunate circumstances caused a rift in those dreams for a future but years later fate showed that she had plans for them. They needed to evolve into who they are now in order for them to be able to make those dreams a reality. Uncharted was a GREAT story about second chances. And as with the other stories so far in this series, the sense of family with the triplets and their parents as well as the bond that the triplets share is so inspiring and, at time, enviable. They are a strong family unit and their support for each other is just the sweetest thing- ever. I am anxiously waiting for MJ's story.
I have a feeling his is going to top the rest. I'm curious how his playboy ways will be affected. Lots of feels.crying, laughing, the whole gamut! What I love about this series is that each book has had it's own distinct feel to it. Burgoa doesn't 'cookie-cutter' it, to use a term from the book.
From the beginning, 'Unlike Any Other', we knew there was going to be a JC story. In 'Unsurprisingly Complicated', we knew JC's story wasn't a happy one. I mean, how could it be when Burgoa eluded to his occasional binge drinking and preference for one-night stands. In 'Uncharted' we lear WOW!

Burgoa really tears the reader up in so many ways and not just with JC. I cried a lot in this one. Imagine returning to my desk from my break with red-rimmed eyes and wet streaks down my face.Christ on a cracker!
To say I loved Jace and Pria as well as the continuing story lines of all the Colthurst-Decker-Bradleys would be an understatement. And I absolutely can't wait for Matty's story in 'Uncut'.

I could not put it down. I loved every moment of this book. It was a powerful story of two young people’s life journey from being naive college freshmen to cynical adults that had experienced too much and not enough along the way. They both have went from searching for rainbows and chasing unicorns to dancing in the darkest storm waiting for lightening to strike.
The only thing that has kept them semi glued together is their families. For one it was their curse in life. For the other it was their only anchor in turbulent times. Their precious memory of their young love wasn’t enough to hold onto hope. Their paths will cross once again and both of these people will find a new meaning to love, life, and happiness.
It’s not what they dreamed of or what they thought it should be. Their new path was exactly what they needed. This time around they have life experience to draw upon and new dreams to follow. Jacob Jacob Colthurst-Decker is one of the three Decker triplets.
He has never had to do anything alone in his entire life. His unusual family is strong, solid, loving, and encompassing. His parents careers have kept him and his siblings sheltered and hidden from the world. At eighteen he and his brother are venturing into the world on their own. Their sister chose to go to another college and start her life adventure on her own. For Jacob and Mathew, they are biding their time in college before they pursue their musical careers they have dreamed of all their lives.
College is the opportunity to expand their horizons, get acquainted with the opposite sex and have sex. It’s all about the beer, sex, and fun. Jacob meets Pria in line while buying books for their first semester. It is love at first sight. He is intrigued with her dark beauty and proclaims they are going to get married, have a golden retriever named Max, and two children; one named Gabrielle. That is the start of a beautiful star crossed love that enraptures both Jacob and Pria.
Their short romance spirals out of their control. The world butts in and tears them apart. Pria is forced to withdraw from school and return home to take care of her sick sister.
Jacob and Pria spend one week together in each others arms. They have an enchanted week that will forever touch their hearts. They will find magic in the stars shining brightly on their love with the promise of unicorns & rainbows in the future. The give their bodies and souls to one another.
They make promises to keep their relationship alive once Pria leaves for home. Jacob and Mathew are forced to leave school when they are almost exposed to the media. In a panic Jacob sets out to find Pria before he is forced home. The results will forever change his life and send him in a downward spiral for ten years. This bright and shining boy will become a resentful, hateful man that no longer cares about himself, his family, or life in general. Pria Pria has lived in the shadow of her sick sister all her life. She was forced into home schooling and seclusion because of her sister’s illness.
When the opportunity to attend college presents itself, she is running as fast as she can. She wants to have a life that is her own and not overshadowed by illness, pending death, and a controlling mother. College is more than the opportunity to get an education.
It’s the opportunity to live life. A life of her own. She wants to experience everything she has missed out on. When she meets Jacob in line at the book store, she is almost afraid to open up and start a new friendship. Her mother is already starting in on her to return home. Jacob is charming and has a way of drawing Pria out of her shell.
He shows her the beauty of life, music, and romance. He steals her young heart.
When her sister’s health begins to decline she is forced to return home to help with her care. This time it does not seem so bad because Jacob has promised he will be there for her and that their relationship doesn’t have to end because of distance. Pria quickly learns that promises are made and promises are easily broken. Her young heart will be shattered by this. It will change her outlook for years to come.
She will become her mother’s dream child. She will live someone elses dream. She will experience heartache, death, loss, pain, and still be tied down by her family’s chains. She dreams of escaping these chains one day but the only escape will be another death.
Another loss. In another heartbreaking day Pria will have to give up one thing she loves the most but will gain something else.
She will make a friend that is very special. This friend will change her life. This friend will bring back the promise of hope and happiness. This friend will bring her back in the path of the Colthurst-Decker family once again. She will once again be a part of Jacob’s life. This time she is a different person.
Jacob is a different man. Can they find that they love the new people they have become or was their young love rainbows & unicorns? Are they star crossed lovers or is their love written in the stars? This book was an amazing journey. After I finished this book I had to go and buy the first two books in the series. The family dynamics in this series is astounding. The triplets themselves are intriguing.
They have their own special way of communicating with each other. They have their own language. They are an integral part of each other. Watching these three grow and learn to become individuals on their own paths has been an incredible journey. Their famous parents are one of the most stable, loving, supportive, as well as protective role models that truly guided their children and taught them the true meaning of family. It was refreshing to see a stable home life / family life in an unusual environment.
Their lives are very complicated and in many ways deceptive.They never took the the easy road and met the road blocks head on. How they handled their lives and family issues was admirable. Claudia Burgoa is an extremely talented writer. She delivered an emotional story that will touch any reader that opens her books.
Uncharted can be read as a stand alone novel. I started out with this book but became so mesmerized by this family that I had to go back and read the first two books.
It has been a powerful reading experience. I can’t wait for Mathew’s book, titled Uncut. The Unexpected Series has become one of my 2015 Favorite series.

The thug, as mom would've called him. A man with a bad boy attitude and a heart bigger than the ocean. “My heart beats fast, as fast as he can strum his guitar when he’s playing a solo at a concert.
I’m such a groupie. Expectantly, I watch him. My glance lands on his full, delineated lips and wait for him to say something.” 5 musical stars!!! Ugh Jacob, Jacob, Jacob.I love him! Pria and Jacob have a stormy past.
They had a whirlwind love story, and then it all fell apart and left Jacob jaded. He didn’t love anymore and he didn’t want to love anyone ever again. He’s a player and that’s the way he wants to keep it. And then Pria shows back up in his life and throws his whole life through a loop! To say that I loved this book would be a HUGE understatement. This book is beyond any words. And Jacob has been my favorite since I started reading this series.
I honestly can’t even put any more words together, because I have none. This series, this book, these characters, Claudia. All make me so giddy!! Absolutely one of my all time favorite series!! ARC provided by author in exchange for an honest review. Reviewed by Melissa from.
I cried for Jacob throughout this book. He will have you feel so so much. What he goes through and how his journey into living again is just so so amazing and heartfelt and will really just tug at you.
Jacob starts out as this sweet precious wonderful boy who has dreams and is wide eyed. He falls in love with a wonderful girl who has dreams but also feels like he does and that he is shadowed by others. They have this beautiful week together and after that they both in their own ways fall apart.
J I cried for Jacob throughout this book. He will have you feel so so much. What he goes through and how his journey into living again is just so so amazing and heartfelt and will really just tug at you. Jacob starts out as this sweet precious wonderful boy who has dreams and is wide eyed. He falls in love with a wonderful girl who has dreams but also feels like he does and that he is shadowed by others. They have this beautiful week together and after that they both in their own ways fall apart. Jacob tries to find her and has a crushing experience that buries him in guilt and has him wanting to walk away from everything and everyone.
His family is why he stays with us. So bone crushingly sad is Jacob that you truly feel his pain. The writing of Jacob’s pain is so real and heartfelt. You feel what he feels and live in the moments with him. I truly believe he never comes out until Pria comes back.
And even than he has guilt and pain because of a promise he made a lifetime ago when he was a teenager trying to survive and for him it really was him trying to survive. Jacob struggles with himself and his choices. Pria is what helps him come back and his family is so amazing and wonderful throughout. His brother is a goofball but a sweet goofball. AJ just as snarky and pushy and Mason is the protector. All hope that Jacob comes back and it is Pria who helps bring him alive again. He starts to dream and write but still struggles with guilt and trying to keep himself loyal.
When you read the promises he made your heart will shatter for this man who in so many ways is just a lost boy looking for someone to put him back together. This is the amazing, emotionally powerful journey of Jacob and Pria but mainly Jacob. Of how they found each other and when fate steps in to have them walk different paths what happens to them. In a way each loses their dreams and become something else. The story of how once again fate intervenes and brings them together to help each other heal and how they become each others souls again. How together they are an amazing force that brings life and love to the other but they still need to walk alone before they can be together. They need to find themselves and their strength before they can be together again.
It is the heartfelt and beautiful story of their love and how it saves them from themselves and saves their dreams and keeps hope alive. The book will draw you into this beautifully sad and romantic world that is jacob and pria and captivate you and your heart until the very end. Miss Burgoa has the power in her words to draw you into the book but it is her stories and the beauty of them that keep you reading and wanting more. They emotionally invest you into the characters and never let you go.
You will cry, laugh, smile and experience the gamut of emotions as you hope these two truly heal and come together. What are we going to do with you? I’m moving ahead of myself. I started Uncharted immediately after finishing Unsurprisingly Complicated. We are moving from AJ’s story into JCs, but we still have all of our characters that we have grown to love, the triplets’ parents, Mason, the triplets themselves, and now Pria.
I didn’t realize how messed up JC was becoming until Unsurprisingly Complicated. There were quite a few hints (or blaring neon signs) in the 2nd book of the series that things were Oh JC.

There were quite a few hints (or blaring neon signs) in the 2nd book of the series that things were not all hunky dory for him. I just had no clue how much had gone on in his life that had brought him to this point. Then there is Pria, poor Pria with the weight of the world on her shoulders.
This is another strong, easy to empathize with character in this series. Claudia’s characters are so complexly developed, they have so many layers. Even when they are doing something stupid and you want to smack them across the head, you still are able to understand where this behavior is coming from. It’s not superficial, we have a deep understanding of our characters. If you had asked me before I finished this book, which book in the series was my favorite I would have told you it was Unlike Any Other. Now that I’m done, I can’t decide.
JC and Pria stole this little piece of my heart that I don’t want back. I loved their story so much. I have to tell you too that in this book, I feel like we got even more of AJs spunky feisty funny personality than we had gotten in the previous books. Before, in her stories we were going through some horrible moments in her life and we didn’t get to see this side of her as much. She is that sister who says I can pick on my brothers and give them all the grief I want to, but I will tear you apart if you try to do the same thing, kind of like me and my 2 brothers.:) I loved seeing more of that. I also still love this family so much.
The way they band around the family member that is hurting (it’s about time after how we met them in book 1, ya know?). Now I am waiting for Mattie’s story, the third of the triplets. The one who may take us more by surprise than any of the others.
I just have this feeling that his story is going to be a roller coaster ride from the get go. I can’t wait. If you haven’t not read Claudia Y. Burgoa’s books yet, you should. This woman will take your emotions out of you, wring them out a few times, and then give you your heart back whole and shiningeventually.:) 5 stars for JC and Pria who had my faith in them from the beginning!

It felt like Jacob entered his own personal brand of hell and stayed there for more years than he should have.
The guilt and all those promises that were made were weighing him down and the abuse he was putting his mind, heart, and body through was almost like a self-flagellation of sorts. After everything Jacob went through, I couldn't help but ask myself, 'All that for what? Was it even worth it?' And, at the end of the day, I guess you could say that true love is worth the pain and sacrifice and if two people are really meant to be together, then that very same true love will find a way.
It may be sappy but if you truly believe then that's all that matters. My curiosity is definitely piqued with as far Matthew's upcoming story is concerned, mainly because of who captured his attention, and vice-versa, in this third book. I was wracking my brain, trying to recall if there was any mention of his preferences when it came to people he dated.
I think I know who he's going to be partnered with in the next book, but even if I'm wrong, I'm too addicted to the Unexpected series and will be devouring each book that comes out. While I am recommending Uncharted, I would like to suggest that you read the series in order because it does make for a better reading experience and explains a lot of what goes on here with the always entertaining Colthurst-Decker family. This gets five out of five stars. This story was amazing and emotional. Pria and Jacob meet as college students. They fall in love during one blissful week together before Pria has to return home to help care for her sick sister. What follows is a series of mishaps that completely diverts the course of true love, and they end up losing one another for many years, until a coincidence brings Pria back into Jacob’s life.
However, Jacob is no longer the cheesy, romantic guy that Pria remembers. He’s broken and soulless. Pr Oh my god! This story was amazing and emotional. Pria and Jacob meet as college students. They fall in love during one blissful week together before Pria has to return home to help care for her sick sister. What follows is a series of mishaps that completely diverts the course of true love, and they end up losing one another for many years, until a coincidence brings Pria back into Jacob’s life.
However, Jacob is no longer the cheesy, romantic guy that Pria remembers. He’s broken and soulless. Pria has had her fair share of heartbreak, too, but she’s also a commanding and capable woman. This story was angsty and emotional but, ultimately, rewarding and wonderfully life-affirming. The Colthurst-Decker clan are so tight-knit and I love Jacob’s relationship with his fellow triplet siblings. I love the thread of familial warmth that’s woven all through this story, and how Jacob’s family adopt Pria and her sister into their lives. Love and loyalty are big themes in this story, as well as second chances.

Whereas Jacob is the alpha, push life to it's limits type. Their journey is sad, twisted, heartbreaking and sweet. I did find it a long drawn out and I had a little difficulty following the characters. The best way for me to explain what I mean is to take an excerpt from the book itself 'There are always these types of discussions between them that have no tip or finish.'
I think that dynamic between the characters also bleeds a little bit into the storyline making it a little difficult to connect with the characters. But that is just a very small part of the whole book. I loved the writing and the characters and think that each couple needs to have his/her own book as well. What do you say Claudia? Could this possibly be a series?:) This is a stand alone and does not have any cliffhanger. I can't believe my review didn't post! I've done it last week.
Second Chances. This is by far my favorite of the series!
A roller coaster ride of emotions. Miss Burgoa surely knows how to make her readers experience what her characters are feeling. A love story, 10 years in the making!
They needed the time to learn, grow, and better themselves. The tragedies they faced, made them better people.

Uncharted, Claudia Burgoa Review from Jeannie Zelos book reviews Genre: New Adult, Romance When I started reading this I was soo disappointed – the characters were just 17 and 18.and I was expecting them to be in their early twenties at least.

I’ve read a few with teens as leads but it’s rare they work for me, just seem too exaggerated and this started this way, with storm in a teacup dramas and Jacob’s chat-ups being really juvenile seeming. I hate too the way their parents were introduced – the “we’ve got two dads” bit and then a couple of pages later ( I was still only at 4%!) in a conversation with his brother, Jacob quotes his dad Chris saying something like “ I can’t get my husband to stop playing the Beatles” when talking to one of the triplets. When I talk about my husband to my kids I’ll call him Dad or by his name, but somehow it always seems that if people are GLBTQIA they have to get called Husband or Wife on every possible occasion. It just seems odd to me, not realistic but maybe that’s me out of step – who knows?
Anyway that was it – the first third annoyed me, I almost gave up but thankfully didn’t as there was then a gap of a few years before we followed them again and that part covered several years during which much happened to both Jacob and Pria. Drama after Drama after Drama, and I do love those. Really tragic plots!! Nora, she was a great introduction – I do love someone to dislike and I was wary of her right from the first. Poor Jacob was ripe for the taking and he fell in neatly to her plans, and her effect on him lasted so long.
I did feel that what happened in the beginning to separate Jacob and Pria was a bit thin, I could see exactly how it happened and that was real, but the way Jacob bore grudges years later when it was really his fault they lost contact seemed irritating. Still, that was needed, I just felt it could have been done a bit better, seemed unfair to Pria.
I really liked the way so much was kept back and came out later in the story, so that just when i though that line wrapped up there was even more revealed.the last third was excellent, and really a five star read for me. Shame about the beginning. Along with the issues I’ve mentioned I also felt things like Pria sister’s illness wasn’t very well done, she’s at death’s door when we first meet her and then after having told us she’s a record survivor at 26, we see her ten years on living a very different life, freer but there’s no operation, no medical breakthrough explanation given and it just invalidates all the sacrifice Pria made before. You can’t just mess about with CF, it isn’t a condition that gets better, and given she was in hospital with poor lung function when we first met her I just needed some kind of reference as to why things had changed. A transplant, a new medicine, something like that.
Overall though, having dragged myself through the first third I’m glad I continued. The dramas were first rate for me, I love all that angst and the way it lasted – not one of those reads where its tears and heartbreak and then two pages later all over.I need to wallow and this book let me. It didn’t really matter to me that some of it was exaggerated, there was enough substance to justify what happened.
The incident with Jacob and the police for example, towards the end. Could have been left out, but fitted in well, and provided another angst fix for me. I hadn’t read the first two books, and I think that would have helped.
When I looked this up I assumed the stories were connected via family, but each would be a separate read, and this is true to a degree but there’s so much from earlier brought in this book that it would help to read the first two. Stars: hmnn, hard to rate. I really didn’t like the first third but loved the third, and enjoyed very much the middle. A Four I think. ARC supplied by Netgalley and publishers. Life isn't always sunny and fate can be unkind at times. Burgoa makes that vividly clear in this latest installment in her Unexpected series that puts not only her characters through the emotional wringer, but readers too.
From start to finish readers will be caught up in the tumultuous connection between JC and Pria and their rocky road to HEA. Life was once perfect for JC. In college he was seen as the Golden Boy, women wanted him and men wanted to be him. His future looked bright and every Life isn't always sunny and fate can be unkind at times. Burgoa makes that vividly clear in this latest installment in her Unexpected series that puts not only her characters through the emotional wringer, but readers too. From start to finish readers will be caught up in the tumultuous connection between JC and Pria and their rocky road to HEA.
Life was once perfect for JC. In college he was seen as the Golden Boy, women wanted him and men wanted to be him.
His future looked bright and everything seemed possible with him being charming and carefree. After a whirlwind romance with Pria that had him never wanting it to end and swearing they'd meet again fate took him on a path of bad decisions, loss, and grief that's changed him. JC's now tarnished and bitter with alcohol his crutch. He'll need Pria more than ever but theirs is a relationship that's rocky, full of poor communication, that continually puts their HEA in doubt. To find his HEA JC will finally have to put his past in the past instead of dwelling on it and letting it define him.
Pria has always put family first as the loyal and good daughter. With a domineering mother and ill sister she's always done what they've needed of her but putting herself first for one week gives her a lifetime of romantic memories courtesy of the sexy and playful JC. Though they swore to see each other again something always kept them apart as the years passed and she had her own pain and loss to deal with. Instead of letting it pull her under she rose above it with strength and bravery and when fate reintroduces her to the broken JC readers are left hoping she can save him too. Pria's an admirable heroine you can't help but like. She's supportive but not afraid to speak her mind and to truly heal that's just what JC needs. Just like the previous books in this series, this installment takes readers on an emotionally draining journey to HEA full of ups and downs.
JC and Pria have a deep connection but couldn't be more different in how they dealt with those ups and downs. For Pria, it just made her stronger and more determined. JC let it pull him under and left him battered and bruised as witnessed through the glimpses we saw throughout the previous books. He's riddled with angst that went on far longer than I'd hoped. Some of it was due to his own machinations which further frustrated me but still left me drawn to him. Their connection crackled from the moment they met and despite their time apart they were still destined to be together. Alongside these two strong protagonists are an equally strong cast of secondary characters that have become like family.
Seeing Ainsley, Ten, and Mattie again was like coming home. Seeing their interactions and strong bond was heartwarming and is why these books need to be read in order.
Seeing their familial bond that helped them through everything life threw at them adds to the atmospheric feel of this story. Readers who enjoy romances full of substance will be drawn to this story and looking forward to Mattie's story being told. Claudia is an award winning, international bestselling author.
