BOOK SYNOPSIS
Uh oh. Amber signed her sister’s name on a pen pal letter to a Marine. As usual, Jory Walker was stuck fixing her sister’s little white lie.
When letters poured in from SSGT Trent Stevens in Afghanistan, Jory had no choice but to correspond. Sure he’d be drooling over Amber’s bikini photo, thinking it was Jory. Since they’d never meet, what harm could it do if she sent him a few letters?
Would her charade boomerang replacing happiness with pain? What started off as an innocent ruse, morphed into a monstrous web of deceit. Maybe unpredictable love was destined to break her heart.

EXCERPT
With patience, she’d fitted them together to form the image of a man she could almost touch.
Sometimes, she’d reread three or four before turning out the light. She’d tacked his picture on the wall next to her bed. He was the last thing she saw before falling asleep and the first thing in the morning. Jory had planned to wind down the correspondence, but every day she eagerly awaited mail delivery, and a new peek into the mystery man who had inched his way into her heart.
Admitting she had feelings for SSGT Trent Stevens wouldn’t happen. Jory wasn’t some foolish schoolgirl with a crush on a handsome Marine. She was a grown woman, who had been shouldering the responsibilities of an adult since she was seventeen. Her head wouldn’t be turned by a few letters and some fancy words. She was above that. Or so she thought.
***************************
Amber leaned against the doorjamb. “Uh, it’s after six, and I don’t see any dinner on the stove.”
Jory’s lips compressed into a frown. She rose from her desk, fueled by anger. “You’ve got a lotta nerve. I’m up here beating my brains out, writing four Goddamn letters to Trent Stevens. Letters you should be writing! And you’re asking about dinner? Here’s the deal. You want me to write, fine. But you’ve gotta cook.”
“Me?” Amber pointed at her own, ample chest.
Jory nodded.
“Really? I can’t cook.”
“Then learn, damn it. It’s about time you did anyway.”
“And if I don’t?” A sassy look crossed her sister’s face, and she rested one hand on her hip.
“I’ll write to Staff Sergeant Trent Stevens and tell him you’re a fraud. Then, I’ll report you to Laura Dailey. They’ll drum you outta town.”
“You wouldn’t do that.” Amber frowned, but Jory saw uncertainty in her eyes.
The older one narrowed her eyes. “Try me.”
Amber chewed her lip. “Okay, okay. But not every night.”
“Three nights a week.”
“Three?” Amber’s voice shot up two octaves.
“That’s right. Like it or lump it.”
Amber made a face and huffed down the stairs. Jory broke into a smile as soon as her sister was out of sight. That’ll teach her. Besides, she needs to learn to cook and pull her weight around here.
MY REVIEW:
THIS IS MY FIRST TIME READING ANYTHING BY JEAN C. JOACHIM AND IT WON'T BE MY LAST. I REALLY ENJOYED READING AN UNPREDICTABLE LOVE. JORY AND TRENT MEET THROUGH WRITING LETTERS TO EACH OTHER. JORY IS TRYING TO CORRECT HER SISTER'S LIE. JORY PLANS ON ENDING THE CORRESPONDENCE. JORY LEARNS SO MUCH ABOUT TRENT AND FINDS THEY HAVE SO MUCH IN COMMON. THE MORE THEY GET TO KNOW EACH OTHER, THE MORE DEEPER THEY FALL IN LOVE. JORY AND TRENT BOTH LOOK FORWARD TO THE LETTERS THEY WRITE EACH OTHER. WHAT WILL HAPPEN WHEN TRENT FINDS OUT THE TRUTH? UNPREDICTABLE LOVE IS A ROMANTIC, AND EMOTIONAL LOVESTORY THAT WILL HAVE YOU LAUGHING AND CRYING. JEAN DRAWS YOU INTO THE STORY FROM THE VERY FIRST PAGE UNTIL THE END. THE STORY IS SO BELIEVABLE AND THE CHARACTERS ARE SO REAL AND THE CHEMISTRY IS THERE. I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO READING THE NEXT BOOK IN THE SERIES AND READING MORE OF JEAN C. JOACHIM'S BOOKS. IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A GOOD EMOTIONAL AND TEAR JERKING LOVESTORY, I RECOMMEND UNPREDICTABLE LOVE. YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT. 5 STARS.
