I absolutely LOVED Unexpected Fate by Harper Sloan!! Ok, I will be completely honest and say that this was my first book that I have read from Harper Sloan. I know I must be crazy for not reading her previous books from the Corps Security series but don’t worry after reading Unexpected Fate, I am bonafide Harper Sloan fan and will be reading all her books now.

Unexpected Fate was simply breathtakingly beautiful, captivating and sexy!!! This book had it all from romance, steam, love, friendship, family, and heart. And to top it off, this book dealt with a theme of friends to lovers in which I love and adore. As a big fan of this theme, prepare for your hearts to flutter and get that warm fuzzy feeling in your stomach because Harper delivers a story that will make you believe in true love. A love that knows no bounds. A love built on trust and loyalty. A love that is fierce that it can withstand distance and separation. A love that is pure. A love that transcends. And most importantly a love that was destined and fated. This was no ordinary unexpected love because it was a love worth taking a risk.

Dani is this sweet, beautiful woman who has a heart of gold. She always had a crush on her friend’s older brother, Cohen Cage but being Axel’s daughter is never easy, since her dad was this big alpha protective man who always kept a close eye on her. No boy was good enough for his baby girl.

Cohen and Dani grew up as childhood friends. For so many years, he was the guy who was always watching out for her. She was always in the friends zone but little did she know, Cohen actually felt the same about her. For so many years, he tried to stay away from her since she was like this forbidden fruit. But like all temptation, once you had a taste, you had to have more. Dani wanted Cohen to see that she’s no longer that innocent naive baby girl but a woman who has truly blossomed. Well she didn’t have to do much because Cohen noticed her alright and he had to make her his. When the lines of friendship were crossed, there was no turning back because Cohen and Dani sealed their love the moment they kissed. Call it fate, destiny, or whatever, Cohen and Dani belonged together. They were each other’s missing piece. One night was all it took for these two lovers to realize that their love was pure and real. Distance, time, and separation was the only thing that was keeping these two apart as Cohen had to depart for a military mission. But a love like theirs stood united and so Dani pledged her love for Cohen and told him that she will wait for him upon his return home back to her. Can Cohen and Dani’s love be able to survive the long distance? Are these two really fated to be together or are they better off as friends?

Harper Sloan instantly became an author I will be one-clicking from now on. I love that Ms. Sloan gives you a book to fall in love with. She gives her readers a book to experience. A book where it will have you swooning and have your hearts fluttering. Though this book was built on the theme of friends to lovers, Harper was able to incorporate a little romantic suspense in the storyline. Unexpected Fate is a book that I will cherish because it was a story built on a love so pure and simple. I love that it leaves you breathless and wanting more of Cohen and Dani. Unexpected Fate is a beautiful, touching and heartwarming story that was so well written that you are totally enchanted with the relationship of Cohen and Dani. Their relationship is a reminder and testament that love is worth experiencing. Love is about sacrifices. Friendship. Trust. Fate. And most importantly the best kind of love is a LOVE that is UNEXPECTED. So if you are looking for a book that will make you fall in love, then go read UNEXPECTED FATE by Harper Sloan. Be ready to fall in love with Cohen and Dani.
