Lex: Unexpected, Book 5

Oh everyone should have a Lex in their life.He tries to convey an image of a hard man but he is a squishy softer inside. The cover picture depicting him is gorgeous. I always pay attention to the book covers, they are a good percentage of why I choose to read most of them.Lex has had a very hard childhood, a mother who overdosed and died and a father who committed murder. His young brother Leo died age 6 from cancer. No wonder he covers all his emotions in a hard facade. Letting no one in. Until surprisingly three old ladies in a Care Home steal into his heart, Brenda, Martha and Vikki. Especially Brenda.Lex’s only other real friends are Emery and his boyfriend August, and another guy Diablo. Brenda is like a Grandmother to him, so he visits to do her hair, nails etc and takes her and her friends for walks and lunch.When Brenda is upset because she doesn’t get visits from real Grandson Lex becomes angry. The grandson went off to Florida and left her all alone. Dropping in to visit His Ladies one day, he is confronted by this nerdy looking guy. Brenda introduces him as her Grandson, William.Lex makes it his mission to punish this guy for leaving his Grandma. Problem is, Lex starts to enjoy punishing William. Then he discovers that William has a stalker who has pestered him for a couple of years. They trouble him at work, outside his office and home, texting and calling.Luckily Lex has ways and means, plus a friend like Diablo, to help get rid of this pest in Williams life. William just can’t say “no” to Lex’s offer of help. ***********************************Don’t want to provide any spoilers here but I loved this story of Lex which also has Emery and August from a previous book in the series. I’ve messed up the reading sequence but still love both I’ve read so far, “Emery” and “Lex”. So looking forward to getting the others in the series by Cora Rose.Treat yourself to this Full series.

I found this one different from previous books that were more college based. Lex is Emery’s best friend and this is his story. He’s a quirky guy who does tech stuff and more recently, looks after and pampers three old ladies. He’s closest with Brenda who is like a grandmother to him. When Brenda’s grandson William returns after a period of time away. When they first meet, they have a misunderstanding of sorts but the chemistry between them sizzles and they are drawn to each other making Brenda very happy. As we get to know them better we realise why Brenda wanted them to meet. Whilst they are the most unlikely couple they work. It was nice seeing Emery and August from time to time and the characters were entertaining. While it’s not as intense as the others in the series, I enjoyed getting to know Lex and William.

We have come across Lex over several previous books but we finally got his story. He is a fabulous character and so emotional. Glad he found William to take care of his big heart. There were some great scenes between the MC's you really felt the depth of their relationship.

This book is worth the read, its spicey, a little dark and emotional by the end of this book I was sobbing. Will and lex relationship is everything, lex is mischievous and like to hide cameras,where as will is the strong silent type who comes undone when he's with lex. Honestly please give this book a read because believe me I will be reading this again.

Whit was one of my favourite stories ever and I've loved the whole series so far.... but this one has melted my heart.. these 2 are just beautiful together, their foibles just gel .. and honestly not what I expected from lex at all.. and damn you I'm crying still...

Lex you rascal….you just up and stole my heart!! This story is a wonderful addition to this fantastic series and I loved every minute of it!!

Devoured this book! I just love the characters Cora writes. I smiled so much reading this book. Can’t wait for the next one!!!

I really wanted to love this book and I did like it but unlike the rest of the series which I utterly adored this one was lacking. Lex was amazing but I just didn’t feel as attached to this book as I did with the rest.
