About this listen
Can three people really love each other?
All I wanted was to find some peace.
To find myself again.
Falling in love wasn’t part of that plan.
But everything changed the day I met them.
Gabe and Michael.
So different.
And yet together, they are perfect.
I can’t decide which one I love more.
And maybe I don’t have to.
Because they both love me too.
Can three people really love each other?
Or was it the air of the island messing with our hearts and minds?

Story
Jess has one goal in life—protect her son. But when an overcrowded shelter puts her and Jasper out on the street in the dead of winter, she fears she's going to fail that mission. Help comes in the form of confirmed bachelors, Tony Moretti and Dr. Rhys Beaumont. Tony and Rhys share the same motto—work hard, play harder. But when fate drops a homeless waitress and her young son on their doorstep, their wild and free lifestyle takes a sharp turn. Their desire to help her is only surpassed by their desire to claim her, share her, make her theirs.

Story
My father isolated me while chaos swept the country. All my life, he hid me away like a precious jewel for being too curious, too attracted to danger. Then I got myself kidnapped. My saviors are three brutal men on roaring motorcycles—the Sons of Odin MC. I know a governor’s daughter shouldn’t dream of men with haunted eyes. Men who have killed, pillaged, and ransacked this broken country I’m trying to fix. But when the Sons of Odin become my personal bodyguards, I’m not just curious. I’m insatiable.

Story
Once I saw Marnie Long, a sassy, sultry, charismatic older woman in a bar, I couldn’t peel my eyes off her. I wanted her. At least, for one night. I’m way too busy with my career these days for anything more. As it turned out, after recently getting burned, Marnie was on the same page as me—all she wanted was one night of fun. I was happy to be of service. What I didn’t expect during our night together, however, was how deeply we connected. Also, how much I was dying to see her again the next morning.

I’d lost everything after my parents passed away, but Hades was there, pen in hand, for me to sign my life away to him. I could have refused, but then I’d be without a home. Without a support system, I’d be penniless. So I said yes. Hades was my guardian. I was his ward. He was cruel. I was too innocent. The longer I was in his care, and the more I saw how cruel and cold he could be, the more I wanted him.

It's official: my step bro is the biggest himbo ever to himbo. He's a massive blond beefcake with a soft heart and an over-eager smile. The mere sight of him incites a shaking hot rage in me. He's everywhere. He's around me all the time. So sweet and gentle that it makes me feel wild. I see him and smell him everywhere. When I can't see him or smell him, I hear him. The wall between our bedrooms is paper thin. I can't help it—I hear what he does in his room when he thinks he's alone. I hear everything.

Must read.
I loved the storey and book can't wait for the next one it was a turn pager. The three characters seemed to be so real. I believe it was the way Isabella Starr the narrator's consent changes is excitement made the characters so real. This is a definite read and the exotic story line is fabulous.

Sweet, Sexy Ménage
This is such a sweet love story with a twist. Amie is newly divorced and looking to spend her time helping others while she finds herself. She ends up on Kauai rebuilding a village. Enter the soulful and brooding Gabe and his best friend the sexy full of life Micheal. It’s instant chemistry between the trio.
They start to navigate their feelings and the relationship dynamic between themselves and the other volunteers on the island. You fall in love right along with them. And it’s not just sex for these three there is a genuine bond and friendship that strengthens the relationship.
There is a twist at the end that left me gutted but so excited to start the second book.
The narration is great and keeps you engaged. I think this would be a great started ménage book. But is also enjoyable for an old pro in the genre like me.

Great story with cliffhanger
This is the first book I've read/listened to by Alyne Hart. It was well written with a great storyline. I've really enjoyed the characters. Their struggles seemed real, true to life. That cliffhanger! Looking forward to the second book.
Isabella Starr is a good narrator. I enjoyed listening to her and felt like she did great with the male and female voices. Great performance.

Beautiful Story!
I haven't read many menage romances, but i can say that I love them. I love the dynamics between all of the characters. And Unexpected by Alyne Hart is no exception. She captured my interest immediately at the beginning and didn't let me go until the end with tears in my eyes.
Amie is looking for an escape after her divorce. She signs up to help rebuild a village on Kauai. There she meets Michael and Gabe. They have been best friends almost their entire life. Amie is attracted to both of them and they are both attracted to her. Will she have to pick one or will she be able to choose both of them?
I loved all three characters in the relationship in this book. I feel like they totally had all their own personalities and their relationships with the others were unique. I loved Amie and her personality. I loved both Gabe and Michael together and separately, They were so different and yet they were both perfect for Amie. This story was so well written and it had me falling in love with this relationship. I felt all of the ups and downs throughout the entire book. I cannot wait to pick up the next one to find out what happens with the rest of their story.
I loved Isabella Starr's narration in this audiobook. I think she did an amazing job distinguishing everyone's voices. I do wish that there was just a bit more emotion in the delivery, though. I felt like everything was delivered in the same tone no matter if the character was happy, sad, or turned on. Other than that, I loved it. I will definitely be searching for more that she's narrated.

Sweet and Sexy Story, with a cliffhanger
This is the first book in The Island Duet, a MFM romance. Amie, Gabe and Michael's story is sweet, and sexy. They share an instant attraction, and a sizzling chemistry. The characters are great. The story ends with a cliffhanger. Isabella Starr did a good job with the narration. #AudiobookObsession

Gives You All the Feels
Title: UNexpected
Author: Alyne Hart
Format: Audio
Narrator: Isabella Starr
Genre: Romance, Menage (MFM)
Standalone: Nope
Part of a Series: Book 1 of The Island duet
POV: Amy, Gabe and Micheal
Steam Level: Toasty
4/5
Alyne Hart knows how to write a story with all the feels. Exploring how to be a thruple in a couple society, I love how Alyne Hart portrays the judgement and acceptance both externally and internally. I love Gabe and Michael's friendship and the foundation it was built on. Knowing that this is a duet I'm glad it didn't end where I thought it would but the actual ending leaves me wanting to immediately jump into UNconventional to see how it all works out.
I received this audiobook for free from Audiobook Obsession. This is my honest and voluntary review.

Narrator not a good fit for book, story just okay
I've read a lot of menage books over the years, so I jumped at the chance to listen to one from a new-to-me author. It's one of my favorite genres, so maybe my expectations were just too high. I found the story just okay. It was pretty good in parts, but there was just something about the relationship that didn't seem realistic and lacked that connection I needed.
Amie is a recently divorced young woman who isn't quite sure where she belongs and what she wants to do with her life. She's basically wondering around lost, so she decides to take the advice of her best friend, only instead of going to an island for some hot loving, she instead volunteers to help rebuild a village on Kauai. She didn't expect to fall in love with not one, but two guys while there.
Gabe and Michael have been best friends since they were kids in a foster home. They had it rough growing up, but somehow managed to find themselves in the same foster homes and stuck together into adulthood. They have been traveling the world doing volunteer mission work and are now in Kauai as well to rebuild a village. One thing they've never done together though is share a woman, but that will change in this book.
Gabe is the calm one of the two men. He was the older one who took care of Michael in foster care. He was an incredibly sweet and loving man and didn't just go through women like Michael. Michael is the flirty and wild one, but he changed his pace after an epiphany. Both Gabe and Michael are attracted to Amie and she likes both of them as well. They hang out a lot and end up being roommates on the island, so with that much time together and sexual tension, eventually things will grow into a relationship with them all.
I found the 'I Love You's' were exchanged pretty early on in the book. I get that they were in close quarters and together each night, but it still seemed premature when they were just getting to know one another. Unlike most menage romances I've read, this trio didn't do things the way I expected. They preferred to spend one-on-one time with Amie versus time together as a trio. Sure, there are a couple threesomes thrown in there. Side note: Who in the world would believe that doing that on a sandy beach is at all realistic when sand gets EVERYWHERE and they didn't have proper supplies to really do what they did? Yeah, wasn't buying that was a pleasurable as the author made it seem at all. I'm not saying having that one-on-one time wasn't necessary, as it absolutely is to keep the relationship strong. But it seemed as though it may have been the eventual cause of all that happened in the end of this book. Jealously comes into play and bonds aren't as strong when everyone is treated as a separate entity. It worked initially, but eventually it just starts to become obvious that things aren't working as they had planned. But that's just my two cents and seemed outside the norm. It seemed more of what I'd expect from a polygamous relationship, not polyamorous. I think this disconnect between them is also why I had a hard time believing they would have a successful relationship. Based on the fact that there's a Book 2 and this one ends in a cliffy, I think it's safe to say things weren't working.
I just wanted to throttle Michael in the end of this one. He made me cry for Amie and that wasn't cool. I know in Book 2 there will be a HEA, but that doesn't mean I have to like who he was a the end of this book.
I loved that this book mostly took part in Kauai. I love Hawaii and am traveling to Kauai in a couple months, so it was awesome to read about the people and some of the sights across the islands in a romance novel.
Regarding the narrator, I wasn't a fan of this particular narrator for this style book. When a book has 3 different points of view, you really need more than one narrator, at least a male/female even if you don't use 3 different narrators for the 3 characters. It was hard to follow along sometimes when the characters changed so quickly in the beginning of the book between the two male characters. There weren't breaks/pauses to signify the change at times it seemed, so I'll admit I sometimes didn't realize who was speaking at the time. The narrator is also a pretty chill narrator, which doesn't exactly make the sexy moments that exciting. The narrator would be a better fit for a calmer book, but not this particular book.
I started this book not realizing it would end in a cliffhanger, which meant I was disappointed by the end. The Audible description didn't note that, but apparently it's noted on other sites, so I'll take the blame for not realizing that until there were 5 mins left in the book. Regardless, I'll continue to the next book since I really don't like to leave a series unfinished.
