“I want you, Carter. It scares me how much I want you.”

That made two of us.”

Whenever I want an escape from reality and in the mood for some good old smut, I trust in Roe Horvat to always deliver - and Unexpected was a welcome reprieve. Turning up the heat - in the most literal sense! - this was another deliciously delightful read! Sultry and sensual - sweet yet steamy - hot and heavy - one that touches upon all my inner senses. ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

Yes, I'm a simple girl who doesn't ask for much. Just a sexy read with an omega who longs for an alpha's touch. So, catch me melting each time Richard wanted to comfort and protect Carter, and knowing in his heart that this was different from his previous doomed and hasty romance with his over-bearing model-boyfriend Leo.

“Healing and hopeful. Yes, he was here only for the heat, and I shouldn’t expect anything else, but already after the couple of times he’d made love to me, he was healing me, patching my conscience back together, and cleansing my murky soul.

I would cherish him like the gift he was.”

Carter was so precious - he was so endearingly earnest and just such a sweet, kind soul, who really never wanted to push his employer's buttons, until circumstances compelled him to do so. He never considered himself beautiful, but to me, his soul was the purest of them all. He and Noodle were such an adorable pair - I loved how Richard didn't immediately pounce him, that they forged a deeper bond and friendship before he braved the waters with his request. 🥹🥹

I loved how he stood up to Leo - how he was welcomed into Richard's circle of friends - how he still slowly recovered and understood his feelings for Richard were real - not just based on his mad lust during his heat. And we all need an awesome relative like Uncle Ray. He fought for his nephew's happiness - who made sure Richard was in it forever, and for his kind comment that 'not even the best man in the world deserves you,' that made me admire him even more! 😍

“I wished all of it was for real, a new beginning, and not just a brief fantasy.

But dammit, he was earnest, so focused… It almost seemed like worship. Could Richard Porter truly be in love with me?”

Richard Porter was searching for that magic touch of caring for someone and the answer came to him in the form of Carter. I did feel bad for what he went through with Leo, but it still took me awhile to look beyond the typical older guy wanting to take care of the younger trope. But once he quickly asserted himself as someone who really genuinely had strong feelings for him, I slowly warmed up to him. 🥰🥰

He went so much out of his way to make Carter see his own true potential - that he loved him with every fiber of his being. Even all the wealth he amassed did not amount to how much he wanted to pamper Carter with affection and still be respectful of his boundaries - no matter how many times, the fierce need to claim inside of him. 🧡🧡

“Oh yeah. The magic button.”

He pushed against it harder, and I saw stars. “It feels bigger. Your body remembers me. It knows I’ve been in there.”

He was getting breathless, his words warped with strain.

“Maybe I’m still in there. Small traces of me. Deep in you. Forever.”

He snapped his hips forward quickly, and I detonated. He hit the perfect spot several times, feeding my pleasure ---

“Love you,” I mumbled. Could he even hear me? “Love you.”



Roe Horvat always hits that sweet spot of intimacy so perfectly! (pun intended) 🫠🫠🫠 The sheer desire that borders between want and necessity that his details of sex are laced with such passion and still so much care. The fact that I read a handful of Roe's works over the past few weeks, and each of them had something different about them - the creativity of pleasurable moments is wild and insanely hot! 🤌🏻 I had to pause and look around to see if no one could see my face - so filthy, and depraved and sinful - that leaves you begging for more - well, Carter was, anyway! 😏😏

But, if I may say - I inwardly cringed then laughed every time the word 'roared' was used. I'm sorry! It made me laugh! 😅😅 It would stir up such an image in my mind - never one that was appealing for the senses - so it definitely took me out of the scene momentarily! 🙈 🙈 But, their epilogue was so sweet - had me grinning, because in the end - they both got exactly what they wanted. 🫶🏻🫶🏻
