Ben Miller met the love of his life the day he crossed paths with Elle James in their high school cafeteria. New to Beaumont, he took a chance when he approached her. Their first encounter was everything his mother ever read to him about fairy tales. He saw the girl who would be his forever.

From the moment Elle James met Ben Miller they’ve been best friends. Everything they did, they did it together, from late night study sessions, family vacations, throwing bottles off the water tower, going to prom and finally moving to California for college.

However, after the almost tragic accident where she nearly lost her twin sister, Elle’s life hasn’t been the same, and neither has her relationship with Ben.

One fateful decision changes the scope of Ben and Elle’s relationship. For one, it means a new beginning. For the other, it means change.

Unexpected errors

April 12, 2018

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

So I LOVE the Beaumont series. One of my favorite series ever. I was so excited for the next generation and adored Peyton and Noah’s book. I was a little disappointed with Elle’s book. The story just fell flat. I had hoped to see more of her and Ben in a relationship. We have to wait till the end to see any of that and maybe get 2 chapters worth.

I also was shocked by the amount of errors in the book. Words added into sentences that aren’t needed, missing words, and some overall story errors. How do Brad & Ben have “strong Miller genes” when they have different dads? Just seemed like the authors first book and that she hasn’t paid for an editor. It really took away from the story.

Another Heart-Warming Romance from Heidi McLaughlin

April 19, 2018

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

~4.5 Stars~

Heidi McLaughlin was one of the very first Indie writers I read, and My Unexpected Love is exactly why she still remains one of my favorite writers. Her books are always heart melting and filled with so much emotion.

I remember Elle and her twin sister, Peyton, when they were just kids. I adored them like everyone else did. Now, both are on the cusp of becoming adults. I have to be honest and say I had mixed feelings about Elle. I knew she had been through a lot recently, but I found her to be selfish, especially where her best friend, Ben, was concerned. He has been such a support for her and her family, always rearranging his life to be there for her. She took him for granted, never seeing what was right in front of her. Finally, when Ben has had enough of his heart being broken by her, he leaves. When he pulls away, she is finally forced to take a hard look at herself. She doesn’t like who she sees. It is at this point, that I started respecting and liking her. I realized she wasn’t always this way, but it was what she became after dealing with pain and fear at that bottom of a bottle instead of leaning on her family and friends. Finally, with the help of her family and her own strength she is beginning to crawl out of her pit of despair. It isn’t easy, and McLaughlin illustrates her struggle. I admired Elle’s determination in finding Ben, asking for his forgiveness, and telling him how she really feels about him.

Ben is a girl’s dream…handsome, sexy, intelligent, loyal, and sweet. His devotion to Elle was incredible. I wanted them to be together, but I respected him even more when he made that break from her. He deserved happiness, and he deserved someone who would love and appreciate him. It took guts for him to leave everything and everyone he knew and loved and go someplace where he knew no one to pursue his dreams. He tried to forget Elle, but she owned his heart. His ability to forgive her was amazing…thankfully!!!!

This was a fantastic friends to lovers romance. I thought the pacing was spot on. The line that Ben and Elle crossed threatened their friendship and any hope for more, so it wasn’t going to be a quick or perfect fix. Elle had to fix some of her own issues before she could even think of a relationship with Ben. That was going to take some time. What I love about McLaughlin, there is always something more than just a romance. In this book, it was about growing up and becoming adults, which is never easy. As always, her theme of family and friendship is weaved throughout every page. My Unexpected Love was another winner from Heidi McLaughlin. Hopefully, we’ll get Quinn’s book soon!

What I love so much about the Beaumont books: all of the love, the imperfections, and ultimately the Forevers.

Rating 4.5 out of 5

I always look forward to reading a new Beaumont book and MY UNEXPECTED LOVE was no exception. Pretty much as soon as I had this book in my hands, I started flipping pages. Elle's and Ben's story is full of angst and heartbreak. They have a moment that seems like their beginning only to become the beginning of their end - before they ever really get started.

Ben was first introduced in HOLDING ONTO FOREVER - these books do need to be read together to appreciate the connection and love that Ben has for Elle. While reading HOF, I was already rooting for this couple - best friends to more. Yes, please! Ben's love for Elle is evident and they needed to be together. She just needed to see it. It takes her a while to figure it out and hearts are will be shattered. Mine included.

What I loved:
Overwhelming sense of family. The Powell-James family are tight. I liked how, at different times, Quinn and Elle share their feelings about becoming a family.
Moments with Elle and Peyton - their bond and protectiveness is undeniable
Elle reflecting on her situation and taking control and making a change. She's the only one who can do it and she has to want it.
Getting glimpses of Jimmy, Jenna, and Eden (I can't wait to read Eden's story!)
Since Ben didn't appear in the original Beaumont books, I would have liked more of his and Elle's experiences as teens - whether those moments appear in flashbacks or reminiscing about those times. They are there, I just wanted more. This is the young adult reader in me coming out - I live for that.

MY UNEXPECTED LOVE made my heart hurt for Elle and she dealt with the aftermath of almost losing her sister and then losing best friend. Her unexpected love. But she had some growing to do and really being honest with herself. And that is what I love so much about these books - all of the love, the imperfections, and ultimately the Forevers.

This story will pull at your heartstrings

They say if you love someone, set them free. If the come back to you, they’re mean to be yours. Such was the case with Elle and Ben. Best friends since high school, Ben fell fast and hard for Elle. It was difficult for him to keep his feelings in check, but the night of his birthday changed everything. I devoured this book in one sitting. I loved how close Elle and Ben were, how he was willing to do anything for her. But when it was time for Ben to give up and move on, I was rooting for Elle to get herself together and realize what she had right in front of her this whole time. This heartfelt tale of best friends to lovers is sure to make you desperate for a soul-deep love of your own.

I love the Powell-James Family

April 12, 2018

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

I thought Peyton’s book in Holding Onto Forever was intense but the emotional scars left for her twin Elle was even harder for me in this book. Being a twin I can definitely understand, how everything affected her to see Peyton go through all that. I wanted to shake Elle out of it like my own twin but it’s something she had to work through on her own but I was happy to see Peyton not pushing her, but rather just being there for her. All of Elle’s struggles though just made the end even sweeter for Elle and Ben to get their HEA. I’m dying for Quinn’s story now. With each book, the Powell-James family reaffirms that they are the ultimate family unit!
