⭐️ 4 "New Jersey Princess" Stars ⭐️
After reading In the Unlikely Event, I can genuinely state that L.J. Shen can write any genre with the same aplomb and skill! This story is very different from her usual novels, but I felt captured by Aurora’s journey all read long. ITUE, as I still like to called this book, is a breath of fresh air!

Between humour, betrayal, passion and heartbreak Rory is searching answers about her late estranged father. On her quick trip to Ireland, she meets the eccentric Malachy Doherty. They connect instantly and after a pact to be together if they ever meet again, they both separate with a broken heart! When they reconnect after years, nothing is easy and secrets long kept are gradually revealed.

As much as I enjoyed the book, the romance was a little lacking on the sparks. For a couple supposedly destined to be together, I didn’t feel their passion like I wanted. Yes, the interactions are sweet and funny with a mix of angst, but it wasn’t as powerful as I wanted to feel it. Mal is what made me compelled by this story. There’s just something so charismatic about his personality and the way he acts that I just fell under his charm.

I won’t tell you all the detail about the plotline and let you judge by yourself. In the Unlikely Event is truly a story you need to experience blindly to appreciate better. Definitely worth the read!
