A Fabulously Heartwarming Story & Listen🎧

Amy Knupp pens another amazing novel set in her “Henry Brothers” series and I would like to say she saved the best for last but that would not be fair to the earlier books, which are just as amazing. Unexpected is Knox and Quincy’s story, and it delivers a few unexpected surprises. Knox, an author, has been staying in Dragonfly Lake and he became friends with Eva, who we met in the previous book, “Undone” where the two bonded and formed a writing partnership. Cash was not too keen on their friendship, but dealt with it. In this book, we learn the real reason Knox came to Dragonfly Lake and wow, it surprised all the Henrys. And if the fallout of that news was not enough, his ex left him with a surprise, a baby girl, Juniper, one he was not aware of. Knox, knowing nothing of caring for a baby, was in way over his head, and Quincy, a server at Henry’s Restaurant, comes to his rescue. Quincy is a natural with Juniper and Knox winds up hiring her to be her nanny, a live-in nanny. Quincy took a leave from her job at the restaurant to help Knox out, though she was leaving for college in three months to get her degree to become a teacher. I loved how everything played out in this book, the writing, plotting and world building are fantastic, as are the character growth and development. It was great watching them getting to know each other, the chemistry between them was undeniable, despite their age difference, which bothered Knox more than it did Quincy. It was wonderful to catch up with all the Henrys again and see how their families continue to grow. Amy Knupp, thank you for another fabulously heartwarming and charming story and emotional rollercoaster ride. 

🎧📚🎧And for the fabulous narration, Ryan West and Carly Robbins were the perfect cast to bring these characters to life. They understood the characters they were portraying, giving each a voice that suited that character completely and were believable in every role they played. West nailed it as Knox, grasping every aspect of his personality, and Robbins did the same for Quincy. Both were fabulous performing the roles of the secondary characters too. They set the perfect tone for the story, captured all the characters’ emotions and had you feeling every single one. It is a pleasure to listening to these entertaining storytellers take this already incredible story to another level. Thank you for another wonderful listen.

It's Really Good!

It was extremely entertaining to listen to this audiobook, so many moments make you laugh and Smile. Knox and Quincy have an interesting dynamic especially because there’s an age gap. I liked how head strong Quincy was and how she told it like it was if she didn’t like something.

I enjoyed the single dad plot and how Knox came to love and take care of baby Juniper. Quincy and Juniper together was cute. Knox getting to know his family and becoming a dad was great. The narrators were great and quite a lot of fun.

Knox & Quincy

Ryan West and Carly Robins were perfect as Knox and Quincy. Ryan brought the sometimes grumpy, always solitary Knox to life giving him all the nuances you would expect from an adult that has been an only child all his life. Add a surprise baby to the mix and a big and loud new family and you have a recipe for disaster or for the best thing that ever happened to you.
Carly as Quincy really gave her the jovial voice one would expect from a younger h, specially compared with a more matured voice like Ryan’s. Quincy was young, sweet and clumsy but loved by everyone. She adores children and has always been drawn to them so she has decided to follow her dream and go to college to be a teacher.
Quincy’s and Knox’s journey to HEA was full of forbidden & secret smex and lots and lots of chemistry in and out of the bedroom.
I loved every minute of this audiobook.

Knox and Quincy!

Even if it is on the opposite side history is about to repeat itself for Knox when he finds himself a single father to a baby daughter, he didn’t know that he had. He is floundering and unprepared but with the help of his found family Quincy agrees to be her nanny until she returns to school in a few months.

Quincy had put her life on hold, but it was time for her to pursue her dream of teaching. What she didn’t expect was to fall in love with an adorable baby or to develop feelings for her father. Now she is torn about the future she planned and what it means for her, Knox and Juniper.

Despite the age difference and all the reasons that Knox feels they shouldn’t be together their hearts don’t agree. The narrators did a wonderful job sharing their heartwarming journey as they brought out all the romance, emotion and personalities of the characters.

Knox & Quincy!

Knox is struggling. A baby left in his car has him reeling, not only because he is a new dad, but he has no idea how to take care of a baby. Quincy has just figured out what she wants to do with her life, but she has a couple of months before leaving for college, so when asked to help, she dives in. Much younger than Knox, there is no reason there should be a problem living with him and becoming his nanny until she goes, right? This taboo, single dad romance caught me from the first chapter. First, I love Knox. Meeting him when he began to write with Ava, and he is sweet. But not only is he a single dad now, he holds a secret that will shock the Henry family! Quincy is mature for her age. She understands Knox, loves his daughter, is smart and beautiful. I loved these two so much. Their close proximity, the way each is with the baby and the way they truly love one another is enough to win my heart. Amy Knupp has added a wonderful installment to the series.

Ryan West, what a voice! I little gruff, but so sweet he falls into Knox's character with ease. Knox has a lot on his plate, and West figures out each emotion, whether it's lust or love, frustration or passion. Carly Robins comes in with her perfect voice for Quincy. She gives her a feeling of understanding and warmth, the best kind of emotions for her. Together they created a performance that filled me up and made me happy.

Beautiful Age-Gap Romance!

This is the fourth book in The Henry Brothers Series, a Small Town Romance. I love Knox and Quincy age-gap romance. They are both amazing characters. Knox, an author and a single Dad, is handsome, and supportive. Quincy is such a beautiful character, smart, kind, and caring. They are perfect together. Their story is beautifully written, passionate, and and heartwarming. The supporting characters are great. The ending is beautiful. Ryan West and Carly Robins did an excellent job bringing this story to life. I enjoyed it. I highly recommend this series.

Hot single dad / nanny / age-gap romance alert!

Unexpected is the fourth book in the Henry series and it picks up from the ending of the third book (although this can be read as a standalone). After the news that Knox dropped at the ending of the third book about being related to the Henry family, things get even more complicated when he unexpectedly finds that a baby has been left in his car. Turns out he is the father of 5-month-old baby Juniper (that he didn’t know about). Having never looked after or dealt with babies before, he seeks the help of Quincy who helped raise her younger half-siblings and loves looking after kids. Quincy is a clumsy waitress who works at the Henry restaurant but after witnessing how good she is with babies, Knox asks her to be his temp nanny.

This book just provided all the feels! I loved the chemistry and connection that Quincy and Knox had. As Quincy and Knox get to know each other, they feel a connection. However, the fact that Knox is so much older than Quincy; now has a new life that includes his daughter; and he doesn’t want to possibly start something with his nanny, for so many reasons, creates that ‘will they-wont they’ tension.

Another thing I loved about this book was its exploration of how some of the Henry family dealt with the news of Knox’s biological father and how he was related to them. We also got to see him start bonding with, and getting to know his dad and his brothers.

I also loved how all the characters from previous books in this series, as well as, other series in the Amy Knupp universe was woven into this book. This small town is just too cute and I love how everyone is just so loving towards each other, always there to help, and is so welcoming.

Overall, this was just a cute, sweet story. If you enjoy any of these tropes; small-town, age-gap, single dad, nanny romances, then I highly suggest you pick this up.

I listened to this on audio and it was narrated by Ryan West and Carly Robins. Both narrators did excellently with Knox and Quincy respectively. Their voices fit the characters, and complemented each other perfectly. I truly enjoyed their performances!
