“Finding Serenity” is the second book in the “Unexpected Love” series. T.E. Black is continuing the stories of the already known heroes from the first book. This time the story is about Trent, the tattoo artist and Shay, the receptionist in the tattoo shop. Out of the blue, they fall in love with each over, trying to deny what they are really feeling. The feelings though are too strong to be denied and eventually they come to accept that. They see each other every day and they act as if they hate each other, while they are madly in love with each other underneath.

Shay has a little daughter to care about and she is not making ends meet easily. She is working two jobs, a day and a night job, as her ex has fallen behind with the money support. The tattoo shop is the day job. No one can ever know about the night job. Trent is really good at what he does. However, when his mother is diagnosed with cancer, he is devastated. He needs something to make him numb and coke is really good at this. He just uses when he really needs to and he can quit whenever he wants. His best buddy Mac, cannot know. He had a really bad time recovering from addiction, plus he lost his fiance to that. So he could probably beat him big time.

As they both keep secrets from each other, they found themselves in some very difficult situations. Apart from the love story leading the way, this book is also sending some clear and strong messages that should not be avoided. Drugs is a big part of it. How the user believes they can control it and how fast and easily they get to a point where they cannot quit, as it has become part of their daily routine. Hitting the bottom is the next in line, after such an addiction. When you have hit ground and you cannot think clearly, because it is the drugs making all the thoughts on you, you may end up in a dark and lonely path, hanging on a cliff and really thinking of letting go.

T.E. Black has done a really good work on this one. Her writing is more mature than the first book in the series. This story contains some really good twists that makes it a page turner. The sensitive subjects are touched in a way that makes them part of the story, yet very enlightening and educational for the reader. The happy ending comes to the fact that the heroes make amends with themselves and the other, they recognize their faults and they are ready to make a fresh start based on honesty.

“Finding a way” is the writing debut of T.E. Black, quite promising on the prose, yet you need to like this kind of heroes; the alha-male and the sweet but strong woman. Oh, and don’t mind the language either!

Callie is retrieving from a very stressful emotional time in her life. She lost her fiance in a car accident, that got get scratches and depression and put her life on hold until feeling ready to live again. When she does, she moves to Chicago to study in the University, leaving with her best friend and her boyfriend.

The boyfriend comes with a best buddy, Mac, who is the total man whore, selecting this way of living after some painful situation in his life too. He was brought up in foster families, until he found his own. He loved a woman that meant the world to him and he lost her in an ugly way. He’s rough around the edges, yet kind and loving. Pretty much, those two are messed up, falling in love, which makes a good story-line.

She does not believe she deserves to fall in love again, only three years after her fiance’s death. This is melancholy talking to her brain, as it does to many people. Many people are struggling with depression, that makes them feel unworthy of love and happiness, and it only takes a really strong feeling and another person to drag them back to the light. To get a second chance.

The story is well written and easy read, which comes to leave the reader in a good mood, ready for the second story in line.

“Finding Perseverance” is the third book in the Unexpected Love series, yet it can be read as standalone. This one is about Ryleigh O’Donnell and Rook Wallace, Trent’s brother, known from the previous two books. The two of them were madly in love since they were teenagers. Then, ten years ago, Ryleigh sent Rook away to chase his dream and become a fighter. Rook became a champion and made a life of his own in California, but he never forgot about his true love back in Boston. A very unpleasant event, made Rook ask for help from the only person he new would not deny it, Ryleigh.

The feelings the two heroes have are very strong and they are described in a way that make the reader part of it. Rook is a big famous man, who can have all the women in the world, yet his love for this one blonde girl is marking his life. The book is mostly about fighting for love and second chances. It is about how much we can bare for those we love. How much pain can we cause to ourselves to clear the road for those we care about. It is about making a decision along with the person we love and not for them!
