Eli Conners expected hired mercenary Ray Vereker to be a tank of a guy with forty tattoos - not a gorgeous creature with considerable karate skills. While Eli certainly needs Ray's help, he thinks she could use a little of what he's offering...a down-and-dirty, body-scorching passion of the forever kind. Ray's as good as any man when it comes to storming enemy compounds and loading an AK-47, but Eli's strong sensuality and gentle touch leave her shaken and stirred. And really, who could blame a girl for succumbing to mind-blowing temptation in the steamy jungle? But now it's back to business. If only Ray wasn't feeling hot, bothered, dizzy, and just a little bit, well, queasy. The last thing either of these unlikely lovers expects is to be expecting. Suddenly, Ray's precise, no-nonsense mission is veering wildly off course, derailed by raging hormones, out-of-control desire, and a delirious love that is completely unexpected.

Product Description
From Booklist
When Eli Conner's wanna-be photojournalist brother, Jeremy, is kidnapped by Central American guerillas, Eli seeks a mercenary who can go into the treacherous jungles and rescue his younger sibling. Ray Vereker answers the call. Ray is tough, courageous, muscular, and female. After watching her win a bar fight, Eli agrees to let Ray save Jeremy--providing he comes along, but the rescue is infinitely easier for Ray than the aftermath of her adventure. A night of wild passion with Eli in the jungle has left her pregnant. An alpha woman with no domestic or maternal skills, a wealthy businessman with a mysterious background, and a most unappreciative rescued hostage give this book a distinctive flavor. In fact, Foster has created a dazzingly unique heroine, and readers will cheer as Ray fearlessly saves herself--and everyone else--from dangerous situations. Known for her funny, sexy writing, Foster doesn't hesitate to turn up the heat, and readers who like sensual romances and novels by Thea Devine, Vicki Lewis Thompson, and Susan Johnson will go for this winning mix of feminism and erotica.

I thought Unexpected by Lori Foster was really fun to read. Actually, it was so much fun I have read it two times already! This Book Is A Keeper!
By A Customer
Format:Paperback
For once there's a female lead who can stand toe to toe with the male lead and not come off as obnoxious or unlikable. I love reading romance and it isn't always easy to keep myself from wanting to throttle a wimpy, foolish female "heroine." Lori Foster's Ray is no simpering, weak fool. She can definately hold her own in any situation and that's what I loved most about this book, not to mention the steamy love scenes! Ray is a nice mix of strong and vulnerable. I highly recommend this book because it's not often you find a strong female protagonist who can throw-down in a fight or in the bedroom.
Format:Paperback
I don't know why so many people didn't like this book??? I enjoyed the heck out of it!

This book must have been phoned in...hideous.
I heard good things about this book...unfortunately they were wrong. This story is lacking in plot development and the characters are all one-dimensional cardboard cut-outs. Read more

This was as waste of money
I had high hopes for this book. What was suppose to be a strong heroine was turned into a joke. Why does almost every book with a woman who is strong, intelligent and doing what... Read more

Unexpectedly ... Bad
Nothing is much unexpected about Lori Foster's latest effort and in fact the predictible plot slumps to a pool of cliche. Read more
