About this listen
My boss's secret daughter was never mine to lose. But I lost her anyway. Violet Holt might bend with the wind, but she'll never break.
At least, that's what I used to think. Now I'm not so sure. The men who abducted her didn't break her. Nor did the days she spent as their captive. It was my deceit that did it. Now that she's gone, my heart barely beats. The only thing keeping me going is vengeance.
I vowed to make the men who hurt her suffer. And I plan to do just that, and win her back in the process.
The only question is, can I do both? **Unexpected Heroine is the part two in the Unexpected Trilogy. This is the continuation of Tomer and Lettie's love story. This trilogy is also a part of the larger Redleg Security Series. This book should not be listened to as a stand-alone. However, the Unexpected Trilogy can be listened to on its own, outside the rest of the Redleg Security Series if you so choose (but it's better as part of the complete series).
Content warnings can be found on the author's website.

Story
I’m nothing but a payment, bartered to the most powerful cartel in the northern hemisphere and forced to marry a man I do not know. My father sold me to save his own skin. He might as well have ushered me to the gates of hell. The Marino family is sadistic. If rumors are true, they’ll own me, use me, control me, and strip me of every freedom I’ve taken for granted. I’ll be a shiny new toy in a dark and deadly underworld.

Story
Six years ago, Maria Romano got her birthday wish—a kiss from Enzo Costa. A man she could never take her eyes off, but who seemed as haunted as her favorite book boyfriends and strictly off-limits. Just one unforgettable moment in the dark and then he was gone. Now Maria is a divorced single mom, moving on and open to romance again. Fatefully, it’s with the new head chef at her sister’s restaurant: Enzo. A gentler man than the one she remembers, yet fire still burns. And a warning still lingers: don’t get too close.

Commitment was never my thing. But I've been directionless for far too long. It's time to take on some responsibilities and get my life together. Bidding on my best friend's brother at a bachelor auction didn't help me with that. Neither did having a hot, secret fling with him. Too bad that didn't stop me. Because now I'm in way over my head. And I'm afraid I might not be ready for the biggest commitment of all. Love

I should have known everything was going to change when she walked into my tattoo shop... Timid as hell and gorgeous to the extreme. I knew better than even thinking about touching a woman like that. My life is dangerous. My calling wicked. Willing to cross any line to protect the innocent. I thought I’d never see her again until my little boy tumbled and busted his lip, and I found her working at the doctor’s office. The woman who’d taken possession of my thoughts. When it becomes clear she’s in trouble, I offer up a deal.

There wasn’t a lot that surprised me. My years in the Navy taught me a lot, my years hunting human traffickers taught me the rest. Meeting a beautiful woman in a bar and spending the night with her should’ve been a blip on my radar. Instead, I spent years trying to forget her. In the middle of a rescue operation, fate dropped her back into my life, but there was a twist—she wasn’t alone.

Someone is stalking Audrey Young. And she has no idea why. Complicating matters is her landlord and new neighbor, Josiah Haven. She doesn’t usually go for the big, surly lumberjack type. But there’s something about that broody man. He intimidates her a little, but she kind of likes it. She could totally handle the mess that is her life, except the strange feeling of being watched is just the beginning. Next thing Audrey knows, she’s a target, and she doesn’t know who’s behind it or why. For Josiah Haven, none of that makes her his problem.

I came to Finn River to get away from trouble. But it found me–in the form of a forbidden kiss. After a narrow escape from Alaska and months on the run, I take a security gig that doesn’t ask any questions about my past. But it didn’t take long before trouble came knocking—first, a dangerous rescue, second, sharing my secrets with the one girl I shouldn't trust. I need to stay away from Sofie Whittaker. Not only are we from different worlds, with two very different futures, being with her puts us both at risk.

Being a single dad while managing one of the biggest businesses in New Orleans keeps me very busy. I spend my free time with my daughter, Bella—reading to her, styling her hair, or choosing nail polishes appropriate for an eight-year-old. But I’m okay with that, because she is my whole world. After my divorce, I made myself a promise: I wouldn’t date until Bella was older. Then, all my good intentions go up in smoke when I hire our newest chef for the flagship restaurant in the French Quarter.

When introverted cartoonist Remi Stephenson dumps her cheating ex and goes on their Hawaiian vacation solo, even her creative mind can’t imagine being purposely stranded in the ocean…with a handsome, muscular, brave Navy SEAL. Even more unbelievable is the spark between them. Surely this is just rebound hormones. Right? Because who finds their soulmate in the middle of a life-or-death situation? And what would a SEAL want with a curvy, nerdy artist, anyway? Of course, none of those doubts stop Remi and Vincent from making plans to get together back in California, even before they’re rescued.

Story
All I knew about life was anger and violence. Pain and suffering. Kill or be killed. I was a “fixer” for the Ruin - a syndicate for the Bratva, Cosa Nostra, Cartel, and any other organized crime faction that dealt in the darker, crueler aspects of humanity. I was a free agent who was called upon to do things weaker men didn’t have the stomach for. And when you surround yourself with death for long enough, soon you don’t remember what it felt like to be alive. And then I saw her.

I might be the first man to join the Cerberus MC and not love it. Instead of leaving, I bide my time, knowing that I burn every bridge I cross. When an opportunity plucks me from the desert of New Mexico and transplants me in East Tennessee I feel a little better about the path my life has taken. The new job isn't as solitary as I expected it to be. Instead of doing reconnaissance alone, I'm stuck sitting at a bar, trying to determine if they're using the business as a human trafficking hub.

Competing as a professional rodeo cowboy was everything he wanted. All that mattered. An opportunity he wouldn’t pass by. But it meant leaving his high-school sweetheart behind. Mae Wells was sweet, and innocent, and quiet. Not the kind of girl you dragged away from her family and home to follow you around the country. At eighteen it didn’t seem like a huge sacrifice. But at almost thirty, Boone’s lived enough and lost enough to realize he threw away something precious. Something he’s been chasing ever since.

Great Book
My rating for the story is 5 stars. Tomer and Lettie’s second book is very good. Be prepared with your favorite drinks, snacks, and tissues! Watching Tomer and Lettie work through the aftermath of both the events in Unexpected Hero and the rest of their lives was full of all the feels. Getting to see friends from previous books and even a brief Amos-hole cameo. So really, make sure you’ve read the previous books and get to reading this one!
My rating for the audio is 5 stars. Aaron and Kelsey have knocked it out of the park yet again. They bring more depth and a level of feelings that I really enjoyed. I can’t imagine anyone else voicing Tomer and Lettie.

Tomer & Lettie book 2…all the feels
Picking up where Unexpected Hero dropped off, I thought I was prepared for the trip down the hill of emotions that Jackie Walker set off to take us on. But boy was I wrong. This hill was steeper than I think I could’ve ever prepared myself for!
Lettie shows us that the bravest of women can endure tragic experiences & still come out the other side. Though she is not unscathed, her resilience takes her through life one day at a time & one experience at a time. While she possesses a very heavy and guarded heart, she is determined to become a beacon of light to shine bright for others to find their way.
Tomer is a wreck. He knows he’s lost the trust of the only woman he’ll ever love. And while he is determined to fight for her, he is patient enough to give her time to find herself. Besides, he’s got a lot of work to do in the name of vengeance to make the world a better place for her to live in.
I hope you’re still buckled in for the intense excursion this book will take your emotions on. But I promise, you will find yourself falling in love with these characters all over again.
Audiobook Review:
Aaron Shedlock & Kelsey Navarro Foster delivered another flawless performance as their portrayal of Lettie & Tomer is unmatched. The heart wrenching emotional journey this story takes us on was so well captured in the exquisite narration these two delivered. I can’t wait to be able to listen to the all consuming dive into the final installment of this story.

Intensely Emotional
The intensely emotional continuation of the Unexpected trilogy.
PTSD related to SA. Fallout from a secret identity. Finding oneself again after everything falls apart. Lots of angst and groveling. There’s so much in this book and it’s all told with Jackie’s amazing wit.
The audiobook so good! Kelsey Navarro Foster & Aaron Shedlock were perfect for Lettie and Tomer!
Thank you so much, Jackie, for a copy of this audiobook!

Story: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Spice: 🌶️.5
Narration: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
You know that line in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban where Ron tells Harry, “You’re gonna be miserable, but you’re gonna be happy about it.” Yeah, that’s epitomizes this book. You’re going to be miserable during this book, and not in a “omg this books sucks blahhhh” bullshyte kind of way. Abso-freaking-lutely not. You’ll hurt because of the agony these characters have to go through. Your heart will break for Lettie and Tomer, but they HAVE TO go through it. No wonder our precious Jackie Walker had such a difficult time with these two. They were the Tomer-est and Lettie-est they could be. But ho-ly hell in a hand basket is this book worth the heartbreaking journey you’ll go on. Think of it as that long ass drive to get the best vacation ever, and trust the process. Possibly set up a preemptive appointment with your therapist too. Lettie would approve.
You have to read Unexpected Hero before you can read this book. It picks up moments after book ‘Hero’ leaves off. Lettie has a lot of trauma to face. Tomer has a lot of truths to face. The two of them have so much to work through in order to even have a chance at a happily ever after. Tomer has a lifetime of self doubt and a complete lack of self worth that has led him to all the lies he has told Lettie. What he hasn’t lied about is how he feels about her and he shows that in the gentle, compassionate way he cares for her after the horrific experience she’s survived. Is that enough for her to forgive him? Is love enough?
This book has spice, not a ton, because that’s not the focus. It’s healing, heartbreak, finding oneself, not giving up on those you love, being who you truly are, redemption, forgiving yourself and the love of your life while never forgetting, accepting that you are worthy, and not losing who you are to revenge no matter how much that monster may deserve it. Unexpected Heroine is a journey. An emotional roller coaster that is worth every twist and turn!
Lettie is a hero in a sense to the other women from the nightmare house, to herself, to Tomer. She is strength personified. Everything she has been through and experienced hasn’t broken her, it’s made her a stronger person. She lends that strength to those around her. And with the shitstorm that’s brewing, they’re all going to need that strength.
This book was narrated to perfection, again, by the dynamic duo of Kelsey Navarro Foster and Aaron Shedlock. Every single tear that was shed, every sass that was snarked, every ‘gasm that was O’d, hit the mark. I am in awe of these two. There is no one else that could have narrated Tomer and Lettie. They ARE Tomer and Lettie. Foster and Shedlock blew me away with their performance of book one, captivated me with book two, and I can imagine they are going to positively blow me away with the final book in this trilogy. The only other thing need to say is thank you. Thank you Kelsey and Aaron for doing these amazing characters justice. You brought every nuance out with your incredible talent and I will shout about this series from every rooftop to anyone who will listen to me. You are amazing.
Some thoughts while reading this book:
The amount of understanding Lettie has with what Tomer has been keeping from her, after everything she’s been through is remarkable.
For a man of few words, Tomer says the ones that mean the most.
Ok chapter 24 was heartbreaking.
Bahahaha the hairballs 🤣
Omg Tomer imagining what all the Redleg guys would suggest about Lettie’s winky face emoji 🤣
Am I kind of “into” Boss Dad? 🤭
I’ve already listened to 40 hours of Tomer and Lettie and it’s still not enough, I need more!
🦋“We don’t need evidence, because there will be no trial. I will be the judge, jury, and motherf***ing executioner.”
🦋“If love can shatter so easily, then what I feel for her is not love. It’s more. Because there’s nothing she could ever think, do, or say to remove the imprint she’s made on my soul. Even if she hurt me the way that I will surely hurt her, she would still own my heart. I could never feel anything less than utter adoration and wholeness being in her presence. Never.”
🦋“Violet Holt might bend with the wind, but she doesn’t break.”
🦋“You’re hurting because everyone I love suffers. That’s how you know my feelings for you are true.”
🦋“This is my f***ing p***y. I decide when I’m done eating it.”
🦋“As messengers of hope, endurance, and life, butterflies are angels watching over you.”

When the unexpected and heartbreaking conclusion from Unexpected Hero left me wiping tears from my eyes I just knew that it was just the beginning for Lettie and Tomers love story because these two are endgame. Now the truths are being revealed both past and present and the bad guys are still intent on taking on Redleg Security. Kelsey and Aaron are just prefection!

Crying nonstop
I’M NOT CRYING YOU ARE. Wow these narrators did an amazing job shattering my fragile heart. I read this trilogy and listening to it does something to your soul. The story is heartbreaking, gut wrenching, sexy, funny, sad, happy all the emotions. These narrators keep doing an amazing job. Book 1 was Phenomenal and book 2 is just as amazing. I am getting my stock pile for book 3
Book Review:
I love this author. It first stared when I came across her first Redleg Book on KU. It took me down a rabbit hole and I needed to read all of them but also be on her arc team. Some stalking and here I am. Grateful to have been on the team for a few books now.
Unexpected Heroine Is book 2 in the Unexpected Trilogy. The story continues to follow Tomer and Lettie. These two haven’t had it easy. What I loved was the relationship these two have with each other, the trust, the love and the need for one another. The story was very intense my emotions were everywhere. I was happy, sad, furious and content all in one book. I can’t wait for the last one to tie the series to an end. I am a Klein girl forever however, Tomer and his sexy ways has his claws in me.

one of my top reads/listens
Binge listened in one long sitting. Bare minimum of adulting happened until it was finished cause it was just that good.
This book is one of those that suck you in and make you feel all the feels (so you may cry, just a warning lol).
It does deal with some heavy topics so check out the trigger warnings first.
Plus .... It's spicy!
And wow wow wow the narrators were just so *chefs kiss*...
Their voices are so perfect for the characters and the emotions they put into their parts... will make you cry (you'll also cry in parts because some parts are sad).

Emotional & on the edge of your seat story
Fair Warning: You do need to read Unexpected Hero before you can read this book, but it's totally worth it! This story picks right up from where Unexpected Hero ends and WOW!!! What an emotional journey this one was!
This is the continuation of Lettie & Tomer's story & how they begin to navigate what happens "after" the big plot twist from the previous book. There are a lot of emotions & heartbreaking moments that happen in this, but I LOVED it! I'm someone who loves a good emotional read that guts you slightly and then pieces you back together slowly & Jackie definitely delivers on this!
Because so many things that are unraveling & coming to light, the Redleg Family is right there, helping these two along & this is one of the things I really love about this series, the found family & support they give to one another. Jackie's always spot on with her humor, terrific banter & wild, crazy suspense, and things get intense people! The deep connection she's been forming between Lettie & Tomer has been wonderful to read about!
This book focuses mainly on Lettie & her journey to healing & the fallout of what happens in book one of the trilogy. The ever faithful Tomer is right there & we get to see what he's thinking & feeling about everything that's happened to her. Both of the characters grow in so many ways as they begin to face the demons of their past. This book ends on a cliffy & it's a big one, so Jackie....you better be giving us Lettie & Tomer's HEA. The people have spoken & we need it & it's gonna be a very welcomed one!
🎧Let's talk narration...Kelsey & Aaron are seriously OUTSTANDING in this trilogy. They are funny, vulnerable, voice the hurt & anger of these broken characters, and they just NAIL the performances by bringing you all of it! Their acting skills are top-notch. What a treat to listen to such talented narrators. AMAZING!
This really is Lettie's book & while Tomer is a big part of it, I LOVED seeing Lettie shine with her strength & endurance. She's not only a strength to the other females in the book but to Tomer as well & we NEED more strong FMC's like her, showing us that experiences don't have to break you but can make you stronger. WONDERFUL job, Jackie! Claps all around for an amazing listen!

Lettie & Tomer
After the cliffhanger in the previous book I was dying for this one it did not disappoint! As emotional as the last book was this was even more heartbreaking, things were intense and I’m even more obsessed with Lettie and Tomer than I was before (somehow) The character development is top notch, the suspense aspect is insane and the banter and dialogue is witty and hilarious. I adore this series I need the next book asap. No one could deliver better emotional and meaningful performance than Kelsey and Aaron SO good!
