What is a geotechnical engineer to do when the guy hitting
on her is her sneaky boss? And her friend at work tries to
set up a double date which includes said boss? Caroline
Rossi is rescued from the bar full of Manhattan financiers
by an old friend, but if truth were told, she'd rather not
see him either, in UNEXPECTEDLY YOURS.
Josh Campbell is a handsome Ivy League man, way out of
Caroline's orbit, but his idea of dinner turns out to be
pizza from a local eatery and a chat with someone who he
knows doesn't want anything from him. The two grew up near
each other but haven't been connecting in years, and
Caroline is surprised to find Josh isn't as snobby as she
expected. There are serious issues between their families.
However there were never problems between these two, and
after food and wine they relax and start kissing, and end
up in bed despite Josh's better judgement.
Josh develops real estate and it happens Caroline is able
to advise him on a survey, which was carried out by a male
engineer at her firm after she ignored the boss's advances
once too often. She believes ground-penetrating radar and
electromagnetic pulses should be used to see if there is
anything deep under this site, but that hasn't been done.
Is there a conflict of interest here? And if she stays
with Josh, won't that create another one? Not to mention
being socially presumptuous....
Caroline comes across as a bright girl who studied hard and
didn't meet men she fancied. Now the lack of sexual
experience makes it hard for her to start a relationship.
The combination of familiarity and attraction are just
right for her to make the break. Caroline says that she's
a geek, of course she loves superheroes. Contrary to what
you might see on 'The Big Bang Theory', really serious
geeks prefer to discuss developing faster than light travel
than to watch a superhero movie. Foreseeably her family
find out about Josh which leads to amusing arguments, while
Josh, who hasn't gone short of classy female company, has
some serious thinking to do. I noticed the attitude of his
father who asks if he'd seriously slept with an engineer,
was he that desperate? Time the financiers got some
shaking up methinks. UNEXPECTEDLY YOURS by Jeannie Moon
shows a competent woman with a creative side who deserves
to get her man.
It was a win-win arrangement…until Caroline lost her heart…
Caroline Rossi needs to reinvent her life. Being a
geotechnical engineer hasn’t exactly proved to be a guy
magnet. She’s never really had the opportunity to let her
hair down and have fun. But when a chance encounter with her
big sister’s brother-in-law—millionaire Josh Campbell—leads
to a night of unexpected passion, Caroline starts
engineering an arrangement that will give them both what
they want. She can help Josh with an important real estate
project and he can school her in the art of amour.
At first
Josh balks—but there’s something irresistible about
Caroline, something very different from the bombshells he
usually dates. Can the friends with benefits agreement
really work? Or are Caroline and Josh playing a dangerous
game that may end in heartbreak?
