An Unexpected Turn

By: Stephanie Rose

Narrated by: Rose Dioro, Teddy Hamilton

Peyton

After a risky affair cost me my self-respect, my credibility, and almost my job, I jump at the guidance counselor position that opens up in Uncle Keith’s small town. He’s the only father I’ve ever really known and the one I can turn to—even when I can’t tell him why.

No one here knows what a mess I am, and this clean slate seems perfect. At least until I run into my old crush, who’s only gotten better looking with age.

I won’t be another man’s dirty little secret, even if that crush I had as a teenager blossomed into something much more—something I can’t face.

Reasons why absolutely nothing can happen between us:

1. Jake is the single dad of one of my new students.
2. Age gap. Age gap. Age gap.
3. He’s my uncle’s best friend.

Jake

I didn’t realize the curvy brunette I flirted with outside my son’s school was my buddy’s sweet, shy niece, all grown-up now. I know better than to get involved.

My marriage crumbled, leaving me and my son with damage we’re still repairing. The last thing I need is to start something with someone 14 years younger. Did I mention she’s the police chief’s surrogate daughter?

I’m old enough to know better, but I can’t keep my hands off her. I never expected to fall this hard. Even though it’s all wrong, nothing has ever felt this right.

Such an amazing story

I really love a good age gap romance. This uncle’s best friend is the best!!! I love everything in this one. It got the perfect amount of fire, sweetness and romance. The performance amazing, Teddy Hamilton is really one of my favorites.

Great narration and beautiful story.

Life became complicated in this story of college life and family struggles. Love and healing, friends and life's struggles were part of their journey of commitment to each other.

good book

The book is good and I enjoyed it very much. Great performance from the narrators.

So much heart!

An Unexpected Turn by Stephanie Rose is a heartfelt and sizzling audiobook that delivers big on emotional depth and found family. With a refreshingly mature age-gap romance, a wounded alpha dad trying to rebuild trust with his son, and a compassionate guidance counselor determined to help them both heal, this story is tender, angsty, and irresistibly steamy. The narration adds richness to the push-pull tension between Jake and Peyton, while themes of love, forgiveness, and second chances shine. A beautiful listen with warmth, sass, and so much heart.

Love it!

An Unexpected Turn is a sweet, single dad romance with characters that I absolutely adored. Jake and Peyton romance was a little forbidden as she was his son’s guidance counselor and he’s her uncles best friend. They had amazing chemistry and could not fight their feelings for each other. I loved the relationship that Peyton formed with his son. This story was heartwarming and low on drama and I have fallen completely in love with Stephanie’s writing!

Teddy Hamilton and Rose Dioro narrate this book and they did an amazing job bringing Jake and Peyton to life. Teddy was great at bringing Jake’s protective dad and Rose was perfect at portraying Peyton sweet and caring personality. I loved both of their performances.
