Didn't Expect You: The Brassard Family (Against All Odds Book 2) Kindle Edition
USA Today Bestselling author Claudia Burgoa brings you a fresh romantic comedy filled with an unexpected surprise, a wicked billionaire, and plenty of laughs.
The right life is the one you never see coming.
I had it all. The luxury apartment, hot dates, and the big office to go with long nights at the office.
Life was perfect.
But after a one-night stand, two little lines on a pregnancy test, and three lost legal cases later...
Well, overnight I went from career lawyer to single mom.
It's okay, I can do it. I'm ready to face this alone until...
Along comes Nathaniel Chadwick. Billionaire adrenaline junky. Everyone's favorite playboy... and my sister's brother-in-law.
He's as hot as he is jaded. When it comes to relationships and family, he'd rather jump off a cliff.
I wrote him off long ago, except since he learned about the baby he's been by my side.
Is it pregnancy hormones or is there something real happening between us?
I didn't expect any of this...most of all him.
***
Didn't Expect You is a billionaire romance of unexpected pregnancies, exciting encounters, and flirty love. It includes a very confused dog, a precious newborn, and a family you might want to belong to. This chick-lit novel is a romantic comedy with a HEA guaranteed!

- Reviewed in the United States on September 16, 2020This may be the slowest of slow-burn romances in the history of romantic fiction. And you won’t find a lot of goods sampling before undying love is declared, but never worry. These two have so much chemistry buzzing and arcing between them that your Kindle is sure to do its own share of melting. Nyx Brassard and Nate Chadwick may be the last two people who should work as a couple, but together they're AH-MAZ-ING!
Nyx is a high-powered attorney looking to make partner and the glue that keeps her loveable but free-spirited family together. She’s had a few interactions with thrill-seeking billionaire Nate, in the form of contract negotiations for her sister Persy and brother Eros. All of that changes when A) Nate decides Nyx needs some fun in her life and B) Nyx discovers she’s pregnant from a one-night stand with the nephew of her horrible boss. Trust me, we're all wondering what the h-e-double-toothpicks she was thinking!
Nyx has a lot of life changes thrown at her at one time, and Nate has a steamer trunk full of baggage to work through, but somehow, they’re perfectly suited for each other. And against all opinions and threats from just about everyone in their families, Nate is by Nyx's side every step of the way. No matter what problems or road blocks come up (and boy, oh boy, there are a lot), they balance each other beautifully and the challenges cause them to grow individually and become stronger together.
I was already a fan of this writer's work but this story is next-level phenomenal. The characters are relatable and mature, and I love how they handled everything that came their way. Nyx and Nate's story is funny and self-deprecating but has such poignancy, tenderness and beauty that my heart couldn’t help but happy sigh. I expected a lot from this talented lady, but I didn’t expect this. I’m still wowed by this story and in awe of this storyteller’s skill. Humorous, heartfelt, surprising, and so wonderfully sweet, this extraordinary read needs to go to the top of your TBR list today.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 8, 2024I’ve found another author that her books gets me hooked and loving reading more with each book. Didn’t Expect you is a beautiful slow burn story. This book is a such a beautiful surprise, the way the couple are friends first, not realizing that they’re falling in love is perfect. I love a hero that can accept a heroine with flaws and all. Very enjoyable read.
- Reviewed in the United States on October 2, 2024Really enjoyed this book. Was crying by the end of it. This one and Lang and Joy's story got me feeling all good inside. Very sweet and no actual break up drama bs.
- Reviewed in the United States on July 19, 2024This was my first read from this author (I didn't even initially realize that I was starting this series out of order but that's my tendency) and I enjoyed it. I loved Nyx and Nate's instant chemistry and banter. Usually I'm not huge into slow burns but I wasn't mad at this; there was more to them than that. And I loved the humor throughout, too.
I need to read the other ones in this series.
- Reviewed in the United States on September 23, 2020Nyx Brassard, badass attorney, sister, daughter, so busy helping others she neglects herself, likes lists and has a plan that doesn’t include a relationship.
Nathaniel Chadwick, twin brother to Langford (Ford),
entrepreneur, billionaire, philanthropist, has a well earned reputation as a playboy, keeps his walls high & tight, rejects the notion of love.
Nyx & Nate meet when their siblings become neighbors and then a couple. Nyx is in NY with Percy to renegotiate Percy’s book contract. Nate is there to work with Ford on their corporate business, as well as settle some long standing family issues.
Sparks fly, he suggests they be casual friends w/benefits, which she rejects. Being rejected is new for Nate. He decides to chip away at her icy front, wear her down with his wit and charm. Nyx holds fast and still says no.
Fate throws them together again & again. Nyx is stunned to learn a lackluster one night stand with a colleague left her pregnant and with extreme morning sickness. Nate feels drawn to Nyx and wants to help her. The fact his dog Brock adores her pulls him toward her even more.
Nate has baggage from being abandoned by his mother and ex-wife. Nyx has a OCD like need for control and order after her Gypsy like childhood with her family.
They are a mismatch in many ways, yet their ability to understand each other, their fears and mindset is a pleasant surprise to them both. What started out as a guarded acquaintance becomes a valued and deeply respected friendship. They both desire and crave more. Can they learn to let go of their fears and face a future, together?
this is a standalone book. However, I suggest reading “Wrong Text, Right Love” first. It helps to get to know their siblings and how their relationship developed, it will offer greater insight to Nyx & Nate’s struggles.
Looking forward to Eros’ story next!
- Reviewed in the United States on September 4, 2023I liked all the characters. I liked that it was very different from most of the books in the billionaire baby daddy trope. What I didn't like was how slooooow it was.

5.0 out of 5 stars All the feels!!
I did not want this book to end, it was truly incredible.
Everything was so maturely written, I absolutely loved the communication between Nyx & Nate.
There was no unnecessary arguing, or unnecessary drama between them.
Slow burn, friends to lovers.
This was a beautiful romance.
Nate = the perfect book boyfriend 😍
I was so invested in this book, I couldn’t put it down.
5/5 ⭐️
If I could rate higher, I truly would.
(This is a stand-alone book, but to meet the previous characters go read wrong text, right love)
