About this listen

He left me with a note.

Weston Caldwell and I had two months together. Two months of intense heat and plans for our future. Then one day he left me sleeping with a note and never turned back. I closed off my heart and my dreams after he left and promised to take care of my family, never trusting love again.

So when I am forced to head to my family’s small town for protection, I never expect to turn around and see the man I loved.

I want to walk away and never look back, but when I find out he left for a heartbreaking reason, I’m not sure what to think. The chemistry between us hasn’t gone away—if anything it burns even brighter.

But my life is in the city and his is in this small town that draws me. Between his siblings, the town itself, and my new found family, walking away might break me.

Only Weston isn’t the only secret from my past. And it turns out, if Weston and I aren’t careful, we could lose everything before we find our second chance.

An Unexpected Everything is a second chance, right person, wrong time, single “dad”, contemporary romantic suspense in the Cage Family series featuring Weston and Isabella. Each book can be listened to as a complete standalone. An HEA is guaranteed!**

Weston and Isabella have history. When Weston ended their relationship without an explanation, Isabella was heartbroken and very angry. Several years later, a mishap brings them face to face again. Deciding to clear the air about the past, Weston and Isabella decide that their HEA is being together and neither are letting the other get away again.

A second chance love story with over protected brothers and a little suspense. Weston is so swoon worthy. Great narration by Teddy Hamilton and Emma Wilder.

The Cage Family #2 and I dove straight into this headfirst. Carrie is in a class of her own when it comes to storytelling. I fell in love with Weston and Isabella right from the start. The chemistry and dynamics of the characters along with the story was outstanding.

Oh Isabella and Weston! I’m here for a Carrie Ann Ryan second chance romance *swoon* Isabella and her siblings are finding a new normal after their dad turned their lives upside down. Going back to Cage Lake wasn’t something she was wanting to do when she had a scare and Weston was the one to catch her. He was from her past, but her current situation precluded her from living her life as it was. So, Cage Lake and Weston entered the chat.
I enjoyed their journey and their reconciliation. They had to learn about things in their past in order to move forward. And neither one of them were the same person from before. So they had a chance to learn who they were in the now. And both Weston and Isabella look out for those they love in their lives. I loved how Teddy Hamilton and Emma Wilder brought these characters to life!

Sweet, second chance romance!

Book 2 in The Cage Family Saga, and it’s a second chance. Which, let’s face it, couldn’t we all use a second chance in life? Isabella, an extended Cage sibling, has been going through it. The family tells her to go to Cage Mountain, and there she runs into a blast from the past, a love that left and she never knew why. Weston has had a lot going on also. But these two connecting again had to be fate. And second chances are sometimes better than the first. Teddy Hamilton & Emma Wilder do such a great job narrating this. Can’t wait for the next book in the series

Love the Cage family

An Unexpected Everything is book 2 in the Cage Family series and follows the eldest Cage Dixon sibling (aka the other Cages) Isabella as she reconnects with her hated first love Weston.

Isabella is the oldest Cage Dixon sibling and has been the one to take care of her siblings and protect them. She became a forensic accountant so she could help her sister, Sophia, open a dance studio. Did she want to be a forensic accountant? Probably not her first, or even second, choice. She is the responsible one, the facilitator and the one to get through to get to any of her siblings.

Weston is the oldest sibling. Eight years ago, he and Isabella were a couple. Until one fateful night changed the courses of both their lives. He has spent the last eight years raising his brother and twin sisters in Cage Lake.

Over the last eight years, these two have not communicated. So much has happened in each of their lives that they do not even know each other anymore.

But when Bella takes a weekend off at Cage Lake, there is a mishap causing her to scream out. Weston is the one who comes to her rescue, and their story begins.

When an incident happens outside of Cage Enterprises involving Bella, her brothers come to her aid. But her reaction causes them to take notice and make her spill her guts. However, Aston is not surprised by her story. Based on what has just happened, plus the details of the story they just heard, the BIG brothers decide it is best for her to move to Cage Lake until they can assess the risk to her.

While Bella is in Cage Lake, Weston is always around. She was hoping to avoid him, but life in a small town means you are always running in to each other. They finally sit down and talk and even though she now understands what happened eight years ago, she still has issues with trusting him.

As Bella is finding out, the joy of small town life is everybody knowing you and your business. They all know she is a Cage. They want to know if she is going to build a house there like her brothers. And when she gets sidelined by Ms Patti, I had to laugh.

These gossip gals make several appearances in this story. Ms Patti has her thumb on the pulse of the city. She has to as the Mayor's wife. No matter how private Bella and Weston are, these ladies seem to know their business. And when she gets sidelined by them on the sidewalk, it is not an easy task to get away.

After an altercation at Weston's house between one of the twins and her boyfriend, everyone attends the girls' high school graduation. But when Bella and Weston have a misunderstanding, she heads to Aston's house. When Hudson makes him realize he was not giving her a chance to explain herself, he goes after her. As they are talking, a flash from her past rears its ugly head.

First off, let me just say that the gossip gals are a total hoot. I am really hoping to see more of these ladies in future stories. They know everything that goes on in Cage Lake. I cannot wait for them to meet Kyler. That is going to be the absolute funniest adventure.

Secondly, although I understand Weston's backstory, I do not agree with the way he handled it. Granted he was much younger, but why did he never contact Bella in that time.

Why does Bella not do something she really wants to now? She no longer needs to help Sophia with the dance studio. This is the time for her to live her life.

This last week has been a major Teddy Hamilton binge for me. He always comes through regardless of the book and the characters. Emma Wilder is always a favorite of mine. I have loved her in many of Carrie Ann Ryan's books as well as other authors. Both narrators never fail to deliver.

My review is written voluntarily after listening to the audio version of this book. The narration is provided by Teddy Hamilton and Emma Wilder, who did a wonderful job of bringing Weston and Isabella to life. Emma's performance as Isabella brought out her caring and selfless side. Whilst Teddy did a wonderful job of bringing out the protective and loving sides of Weston.

This is a wonderful second chance love story as Isabellal and Weston were lovers eight years ago, that is until Weston just left, no explanations and no further contact. This left Isabelle heartbroken.

Now, Isabella has become one of the “other” Cages, having to adjust to new truths about her father and getting to know her new siblings. But Weston wasn't the only man to hurt Isabella; another man wanted to hurt her, but he was sent to prison and is now in another state. But when someone else tries to grab her and threatens her, her brothers decide to send her to Cage Lake to escape the threat and heal in this charming small town where everyone knows everyone's business.

It's there that she meets Weston again, and what a meeting it was! We find out his reasons for leaving as he and Isabella get to know each other again and come to accept that the feelings they had for each other are as strong as they ever were. Things seem to be going well this second time around, but then Isabella’s past follows her in Cage Lake........

I am so invested in the interesting circumstances and drama of the Cage Family. “An Unexpected Everything” is a swoony, romantic and action packed second chance romance that was a great addition to the series.

Isabella is one of the “other” Cages and has been getting to know her new siblings. Isabella is also trying to move on from a man that wanted to hurt her but he’s in another state. Until one morning, someone tries to grab her and threaten her. Needing to keep her safe, her brothers send her to Cage Lake for some healing and small town charm. And the last person she was expecting to see was her ex from eight years ago who left with only leaving a note behind. Weston Caldwell has his reasons for leaving and when he sees Isabella, the feelings they had for each other are still very much there. They have a shot at a second chance to be happy until Isabella’s past finds her in Cage Lake.

It’s been so great getting to know the Cages and Isabella’s story was great. She was the caregiver and worrier of her siblings growing up and that never stopped when they got older and more siblings were added to the mix. With the man in her past coming after her, she never wanted them to worry. Isabella was always willing to put herself second for the people she cares for. Weston is an amazing brother and even if he left only a note behind, I get why he did it and was easily forgiven. And the way the two saw each other again was the perfect way to start this second chance romance. I loved their banter and you could tell the feelings they had were still very much there. They tried to stay friends but once they gave into their feelings, we had some great steamy scenes. Once Isabella’s past found her, the action of it had me listening nonstop as it all unfolded. I loved the ending and I can’t wait for the next book in the series.

Teddy Hamilton and Emma Wilder were so great as Weston and Isabella. Teddy was amazing as the kind and protective Weston. Emma brought the caring and selfless Isabella alive perfectly. Teddy and Emma narrations were amazing and I loved listening to them bring this story to life.

Swoony, romantic and action packed

I listened to An Unexpected Everything by Carrie Ann Ryan. Narrated by Emma Wilder and Teddy Hamilton, they truly brought Weston and Isabella’s story to life for me. This is a second chance romance with right person, wrong time with heartbreak and suspense. Isabella and Weston met years ago and talked about building a future together, but then he was gone and she wanted nothing to do with love again. But when she needs protection, she heads to the family small town and comes face-to-face with the man she never thought she would see again.

Isabella was so strong, determined and smart. With all the changes in her family, she had a lot on her plate. But when she is in danger, they would do anything to protect her. Weston is just as determined, protective and caring. He never thought he would see Isabella again, can this be their second chance? I loved watching not only the Cage’s become a family, but also Weston and Isabella reconnecting. But his life is in his small-town and hers is in the big city. Are they doomed from the start? I loved the characters and their journey so much.

Happy listening
