About this listen

Hannah Dalton had a lot of expectations in her life. Growing up watching her mother struggle for everything they had, she resolved to make sure she did everything she could to make those hardships worthwhile. She would pursue the career she dreamed of, she would marry someone trustworthy and kind, and she would try to give her own daughter everything her mother gave her, only without the struggle.

She just never anticipated the order in which it could all happen or the hardships that would inevitably come to pass. But, somehow, maybe it can all work out better than expected.

A companion to the bestselling novel When You Least Expect It.

It's a simple follow up to a book I already loved. I love both of these characters. Sometimes I wanted Hannah to just get out of her own way, but the payoff was perfect. Highly recommend!!

just love it

I think we need a third book to see how living together works and if Hannah can actually take the next step and get married to Caroline

next book

Love hearing it from Hannah’s POV - with touches of their meeting and her struggles through her marriage was thrust open during this listen. Hannah has truly been through it all and come out on top it’s amazing and inspiring to listen to. For Hannah to have had sights on Caroline from the first moment even before Caroline knew and that the feelings have been mutual is all the better and the perfect pairing for WYLEI!

I normally don’t purchase novels that are shorter than 5 hours, simply because most authors fail to develop a story line, and get me engrossed in their characters, in that amount of time.
However, when I noticed that there was a novel, written by Haley Cass, one of my favorite authors, narrated by Lori Prince, there was no way that I could not give it a try. 🥳

And so, my venture was rewarded with a delightful story. The fifth one I have read, authored by Ms. Cass, who has the ability to deliver and develop characters who are the both believable and worth knowing.
Whose words were voiced to my ear and mind, by Ms. Prince, whose ability to give real life to characters filled with emotion and real depth, made me want to tune out the mundane world and immerse myself in the lives of characters I feel I want to meet.

Thank you both, Libra 😘🫶🏻

Everything I Expected 👌💕
