Unexpected (A Reverse Harem Love Story)

Reverse Harem Story, Book 2

By: Rebecca Royce

Narrated by: Jessica Hazard

Everything has to end some time, even dreams coming true on vacation. We all knew, you know. We knew we had to go back to school - the guys to their frat and me? Well, I had my dorm, my friends, and...well, math and science waiting for me. It will be just like it was before, and I did all right then.

Before.

Before the fire.

Before New York.

Before laughing together.

Before Maven, Chance, and Banyan.

Before...everything.

I’m Giovanna Amsel, and no matter how I look at our story, I know we never expected what came next.

Worth a credit

I'm torn. I actually really liked this story, but the narrator made them seriously cheesy. I swear if Jason Clarke or Sarah Puckett was reading this, it would have been flawless. But the narrator was so awkward and cheesy, it made the story cringy.

Book 2 is even better than book 1!

I really enjoyed book 1 of Rebecca's contemporary RH series, but book 2 was even better! I think he push and pull between Giovanna and the guys really made it feel relatable and realistic. I looooooved the progress they made (and got super annoyed when miscommunications messed them up) but that's a sign of a fabulous writer. I was so invested in these characters, I stayed up late listening haha. Some of the twists were unexpected but you could kinda clue in on the big reveal beforehand (totally fine, didnt detract from the mystery for me). I was just waiting to see what fire came next, how the baddie was going to outdo themselves. I really wanted a certain DB to get what was coming to him though, with how he treated women (and his friend who went to the party with Giovanna). I thought the guys coming to her rescue and her being there for them as they let their guards down was lovely to watch/read. I thoroughly enjoyed and went directly to listening to book 3 haha.

For the narration, no big complaints from me. Some of the same small issues I had with book 1 came back up. The repetitive word choice for the story definitely improved in book 2. Nothing too major here, I would definitely listen to more narrations by Jessica (like I said, already downloaded book 3 haha).

You cant be disappointed by anything from Rebecca, so definitely read/listen to this series. You will fall for Giovanna, Maven, Banyan, and Chance even more than book 1 ❤️❤️❤️

Review of books 1 & 2

I listened to the first book on a different format so I wasn’t able to write a review on audible for that book. Both books are fabulous. First I love how realistic this RH scenario is. How the group comes together feels right and makes sense. Every character is likable and you can really feel the connection each of them have. Not to downplay PR HR books, I love them too but a realistic RH is just easier to connect with. This series is my first from this author and she’s found a new fan in me.
