Melanie Harlow has revealed the gorgeous cover for Hideaway Heart!

Releasing: August 7, 2023

Cover Design: Hang Le Designs

All I wanted was a break—two weeks off from being Pixie Hart, country music sensation, and fourteen days of peace, privacy, and solitude as plain old Kelly Jo Sullivan.

But thanks to some overzealous paparazzi, my family refuses to let me go anywhere alone, and I’m stuck sharing this tiny cabin with a tall, dark, and bearded bodyguard.

And guess what? There’s only one bed.

Well, he can couch it.

Xander Buckley might be hotter than a stolen blow torch, and I get that he’s a former Navy SEAL and all, but the man gives new meaning to the words overbearing, overprotective, bossy alpha male. I can’t even post a photo on social media without him warning me it’s not safe, or take a morning jog without him following behind.

But he’s made it clear that what he says goes, and if I don’t like it, I can kiss my vacation goodbye.

Instead, I end up kissing him.

I don’t even know how it happened—one minute we were at each other’s throats, the next we were at each other’s mercy. What’s even more shocking is how good we are together. He understands my need for freedom, and I understand his need for control.

But emotional trust doesn’t come easily to me. And we’re on two completely different paths.

Without question, I’d put my life in his hands.

Just don’t ask me to give him my heart.

Review

✍🏻 Professor Romance’s 4.5 ⭐️ Review: Vi Keeland’s Something Unexpected ✍🏻

professorromance

Overall Grade: 4.5 ⭐️

Tropes: contemporary romance; enemies to lovers; hate to love; banter as foreplay; cinnamon roll hero; angsty

Vi Keeland is sneaky. Reading her blurbs for upcoming books is a bait-and-switch act. You believe you’re getting a rom-com, but 60% in, you realize her romances are more gut-punching than gut-laughing. 

Her newest book, Something Unexpected, is an unexpectedly emotional read that reminds you about the transitory nature of life. Wading through the enticing banter of her hero, Beck, and her heroine, Nora, their steamy chemistry, and their journey to falling in love, you’re met with the gravity of her story: that we must live each day to its fullest because we aren’t promised tomorrow. 

Keeland’s message is wrapped in the broad character development of Beck and Nora, an expected journey for each, and the requisite happy ending. Her prose is simple, but her story is the prize. 

One of the reasons I will always read a Vi Keeland romance is the knowledge that her stories will always be more: always 4 flame steamy, always starts with a hook that makes you want to read it, always a reminder that loving someone requires more than a first glance – love requires a depth that makes us uncomfortable, but always makes us better people.

In love and romance,

Professor A

Title: Something Unexpected
Author: Vi Keeland
Genre: Standalone Contemporary Romance
Release Date: July 3, 2023
BLURB
When my grandmother found out she didn’t have long to live, she embarked on a crazy trip—jumping out of airplanes and scuba diving with sharks.

After I repeatedly voiced my concern, Gram blocked me—her own grandson—on text and social media, leaving me only her travel companion Eleanor’s number.
Eleanor started sending me pictures of Gram’s adventures. At first she seemed nice, but when I attempted to persuade her to talk some sense into her friend, she told me where I could stick my advice. After that, photos arrived with snarky comments, and Eleanor and I got into it on more than one occasion.
When I heard Gram’s upcoming plans were more dangerous than ever, I hopped on a plane.
Since I arrived late, I headed to the bar for a drink, figuring I’d surprise her in the morning.
To my delight, I met a gorgeous woman looking for a no-strings-attached night. Nora was just what I needed. She invited me back to her room, telling me to give her a ten-minute head start. But when I went to pay her bar tab, I realized how much she’d had to drink. As much as I wanted to ignore it, I couldn’t. So I stood Nora up.
I knew she’d be pissed, but I also knew I’d never see her again.
Except never came a little early. Namely, the next morning when I went to meet my grandmother and her evil-spinster friend. Because old Eleanor turned out to be young Nora from last night. And if I thought the woman disliked me before, that was nothing compared to how ticked-off she was now. Or how unhappy she was going to be that their party of two was about to become a party of three.
