When Clues Link Julie's Mother’s Twenty-Year-Old Disappearance To The Man Who Killed His Father, Can FBI Agent Dylan Keep Her Safe From A Vicious Predator?

IAN BOOK OF THE YEAR FINALIST IN BOTH MYSTERY AND WOMEN'S FICTION

FBI Agent Dylan Nash is in Wisconsin searching for his father's killer. While working undercover as a game warden in the town of Crystal Rock, he meets special education teacher Julie Thompson, and he's immediately attracted. But the problem with that? Not only does Julie work in Colorado, but she's involved with another man.

While visiting her hometown, Julie and Dylan become friends, but she's devastated to learn he's dating her best friend Kate.

A few years later, when a teaching position opens at the new Crystal Visions school for children with disabilities, Julie accepts the job and moves back home.

Learning that a series of misunderstandings has kept them apart, Dylan finally confesses his feelings, claiming Julie with an unexpected kiss.

But twenty years ago, Dylan's father was killed and Julie's mother disappeared. Julie is obsessed with discovering the truth, and Dylan wants justice. When clues link her mother's twenty-year-old disappearance to the man who shot his father, can Dylan keep Julie safe from a vicious predator?

Review

About The Multi-Award Winning, #1 International Bestselling Kissed By Fate Series~
That Unexpected Kiss~That Unexpected Kiss (Kissed by Fate Book 2) by Tamara Ferguson is a brilliant and exciting romance novel suffused with passion and suspense. I love a good murder mystery, and although this is a romance, the plot contained enough thrills and chills to hold me enthralled until I reached its stunning conclusion. Mystery,subterfuge, and intrigue artfully thread through the story line with intricate finesse, mingling well with the burgeoning romances. With spicy love-making,sexy characters, mysterious disappearances, and suspicious deaths, this spectacular romance novel will keep you captivated from start to finish. Due to explicit sex scenes, this is more appropriate for more mature readers.
--5★--Susan Sewell for Readers' Favorite

Tamara Ferguson is a well-known and celebrated romance author, whose work I had yet to read. If The Unexpected Kiss (Kissed by Fate Book 2) is an example of the quality of her work, I'm sure it will not be the last Ferguson book I read. The pace was frantic, whether it was the adventure or the passionate romance between Dylan and Julie. Ferguson's writing is simple, elegant and incredibly easy to read. I found myself disappointed when the book ended as I wanted to explore more of these characters and the wonderful location. This book, with its darker undertones, is definitely much more than just another pulp romance.The mystery and the intrigue grab readers right from the very beginning and carry us along full-throttle, fully investing in the believable characters. I can highly recommend this book, for romance and thriller/mystery lovers alike.It is definitely as good as anything in that genre market out there--5★--Grant Leishman for Readers' Favorite

~there was no stopping, no going back. Not at least until after the mystery was solved, the curtain fell and the happy ending commenced. Crystal Rock was a great little small town with plenty of heart and character. The chemistry with Dylan and Julie was a simmering heat that they dealt with, all while handling every other obstacle life threw in their way. Tamara Ferguson really excelled at blending romance and family with the mystery, which meant the book felt like what it was, instead of half romance and half suspense. I was pleasantly surprised by the story of Julie and Dylan, and intrigued by the mystery until the very end. A fun, solid read by a'new to me' author that I highly recommend~~Natasha Jackson for Readers' Favorite
This was an incredible read! I liked that it tied in with the series in which I have already read two books, but this book was another great addition to that series, this book was thrilling, sweet, romantic and had an incredible undeniable connection between our two main characters. In this book we follow Julie, who is returning to her home town. Where she embarks on a journey of love with a man who she loved for as long as could remember yet could never have. And also, a journey of discovery about the disappearance of her mother. This is a thrilling read that will captivate you from the start, and is oozing with love, passion and great characters~Tilly~Amazon Reviewer This is a great little insta-love story with fantastic characters and a great mystery. It is a fast paced, quick, easy read. The author packed a lot into it, and as expected, has produced an excellent story~Angela Hayes~Amazon Reviewer Wow! What a story! The action, the mystery, the drama, the sexy... you won't want anything else. Word of caution, though, finish whatever you need to finish before starting this story, since you won't be able to put down this story without finishing it~Kaye~Amazon Reviewer
This is a story set in Dragonfly Pointe which is a place that Tamara Ferguson sets her stories in. There are intertwined characters and storylines from other books but it can be read as a standalone. I love all the stories from Dragonfly Pointe. FBI Hunk Dylan is on an undercover mission when Julie comes back into to town.Julie and Dylan have considered each other off limits for so long, that it takes an adjustment for them to come together. All the while mysteries are being solved~Maura~Amazon Reviewer One hot FBI agent adds to the intrigue and suspense in this story. On the hunt for a killer, but a woman comes into the picture. Add additional drama and this story delivered in only the way that Tamara Ferguson can deliver. I have previously read several books by this author and every story she writes is unbelievably well done~Heather B~Amazon Reviewer That Unforgettable Kiss~Tamara takes us back to the serene and enchanting town of Crystal Rock and into the lives of its close-knit community. She has mastered the art of portraying her characters' emotions perfectly to create a captivating story. Tamara creates stories that are so enchanting they will make you heart stop. Her flawless writing style perfectly and vividly captures the moments and brings the story to life. And just when you think the story has reached its climax, she takes it to the next level and delivers a whole new reading thrill---5★--Faridah Nassozi For Reader's Favorite I found myself absorbed by the characters and everything that was happening. There's more to this story than just love. Kissed by Fate is a story of two people who are determined, stubborn and definitely in love. I really loved the way the story evolved and how the two of them managed to work together as well as resolving some important problems--5★--Samantha Dewitt (Rivera) for Readers' Favorite Ferguson captures the hearts of her readers with likable and intelligent characters. Her men are passionate and masculine and her women are feminine, with appealing charm and "smarts." She paints beautiful outdoor scenes that grip the imagination of the nature lover and enrapture the heart of the romantic, by portraying sensuality with unadulterated "not too much" explicit detail! Although That Unforgettable Kiss is an alluring tale of romantic fate, Ferguson mixes in a bit of suspense, making it an engaging read--5★-- Cheryl E. Rodriguez for Readers' Favorite

THAT UNEXPECTED KISS (Kissed By Fate Book 2)
By Tamara Ferguson
5 out of 5 stars

I loved reading the book THAT UNEXPECTED KISS (Kissed By Fate Book 2) by Tamara Ferguson. It is a romance book that has both sweet and steamy moments. There is also some suspense and mystery. I love the characters of Julie Thompson and Dylan Nash. Julie is a wonderful special education teacher who is also smart and independent. She has come back to Crystal Rock and is planning to stay. She then sees Dylan. Dylan is an FBI agent that is on a mission to find out who killed his father. He also has always had an attraction/feeling for Julie. What does the future hold for Julie and Dylan? While searching for justice, will Dylan be able to keep Julie safe from harm? Read this book to find out. This is a story that has scenes that are romantic and ones that touched my heart. I grew to care about what happens to Julie and Dylan with each chapter that I read. They had been introduced in book one of the series and I am glad that they got the own story. I also enjoyed reading about many of the additional characters that are helpful to Dylan and Julie. Crystal Rock is a place I have fallen in love with. Don’t miss out on a wonderful love story that you won’t want to put down until the final page. I highly recommend reading it.

That Unexpected Kiss is book two in the Kissed by Fate Series by Tamara Ferguson. It’s a wonderful and heartfelt read. You will enjoy it just as much as I did. Tamara pours her heart out in these books ( and stories ) and you can tell!! It’s beautifully written and it flows nice and smoothly from beginning to end! And wow.. these characters are amazing ! It’s difficult not to feel connected to them in one way or another! Great job, Tamara!! I can’t wait to see what’s in store for us in the third book!

That Unexpected Kiss by Tamara Ferguson is the second book in her Kissed by Fate series and what an amazing book it is! I love the Crystal Rock world that the writer has created and I strongly recommend that you read also the other series that take place in the same ‘universe’. It is so cool how you find out small things that were left unsaid in the other books and you sort of thought that you might know what happened and … it is incredible!
That Unexpected Kiss is the story of the undercover FBI agent Dylan Nash and Special Ed teacher Julie Thompson. He fell in love with her the first time he met her but Julia did not live in Crystal Rock at the time and had a boyfriend … And so the circle started – when Julia was available then Dylan was with someone else and vice versa and on top of it all, Dylan’s girlfriend was Julia’s best friend Kate. This dance lasts over few years but then the stars get aligned and Julia is back at home to stay and Kate and Dylan … well, you need to read the first book in the Kissed by Fate series to find out why they are not together!
I loved the chemistry that Dylan and Julia had, the caring, the considerations they took with their family and friends, the baggage they shared and how they worked together to solve their ‘baggage’. Tamara is an amazing writer that creates characters that we fall in love so easily but at the same time they are complex in a way that we find ourselves thinking of the long after we are done with the book and we hope that the next book in the Crystal Rock universe will give us more glimpses into her characters’ lives!
Read the first book and then sit down and enjoy the second book! Dylan and Julia will steal your heart and so will also their respective parents!

5.0 out of 5 stars THAT UNEXPECTED KISS is Unexpectedly Delightful!
Reviewed in the United States on March 24, 2018

I'm generally a scifi/fantasy gal, myself, but I dabble occasionally in a romance or two. Most often I am at least marginally disappointed when I do, because it seems the majority of romance authors rely upon the tried-and-true formula of girl meets boy, girl loses boy, girl gets boy back. I find it all rather maddening, particularly when the reasons for "girl losing boy" are most often ridiculously contrived simply to fit the story into the formula. That being said, I found Tamara Ferguson's novel, THAT UNEXPECTED KISS, to be a delightful deviation from that formula. Which just goes to prove that a little originality works just fine in romance novels, and indeed, I feel makes such novels stand a head above the rest. Perhaps why Ms Ferguson is such a successful romance writer. At any rate, I thoroughly enjoyed this charming tale and look forward to more excptional romance novels from this fine author. Highly recommend!

I gave this four stars instead of my usual 5 this time, as I have now read many of her books and overall I enjoy them. I had a few problems with this one, however, as it seemed hastily put together. It had been awhile since I read the first book in this series and I was not able to read this in one sitting; so trying to remember nearly a dozen names immediately made reading it a bit of slow go. (A key of characters at the beginning would have been great!) I also think explicit sex scenes are not necessary and to write three of them just seemed like "filler." My other two complaints were that a convenient victim/witness suddenly appeared at the end and that there were several typos and grammatical errors towards the end. Did the editor not finish reading it? Otherwise, like all her books, this had charming characters and clever story. Karla B.

That Unexpected Kiss is the second book in the Kissed by Fate series by Tamara Ferguson. I realised soon after starting this story, that I had already read it as part of the Hunks to the Rescue Anthology. I really loved it the first time and can honestly say that it was just as enjoyable the second time around.
Ms. Ferguson takes us back to picturesque Dragonfly Point and Crystal Rock, where we get to meet our two main characters who have had a little history- an attraction that never seemed to mesh at the right time. But when their fates finally align we discover that FBI Agent Dylan Nash is undercover investigating a trafficking ring, as well as searching for his father’s killer. He is incredibly drawn to Julie Thompson who is a special education teacher. She has recently moved back to town and has her own mystery to solve, as her mother disappeared when she was young and Julie has always wondered what became of her. Will Dylan be able to help solve her mystery, as well as solving his own his investigations? What has fate got in store for these two?
I loved this wonderful romantic story, it has mystery, suspense, and a little drama. The characters are very endearing and were beautifully crafted and fully developed by Ms. Ferguson. I always love visiting Crystal Rock and Dragonfly Pointe and this story was no exception.
This is a fast paced, quick, and easy read. The author packed a lot into the book and as expected, has produced an excellent story.

Thank you, Ms. Ferguson!
