About this ebook

"An enjoyable, feel-good read with memorable characters who linger in your heart and mind." - Shirley Jump, New York Times bestselling author

Kayla has the perfect strategy for a broken heart: work, work, and more work. Then a storm sends her car skidding off the road, stranding her in Mount Pleasant. Fortunately, rescue comes in the form of the incredibly handsome but gruff Brent Masterson. And he's hot enough to tempt Kayla into doing something she never thought she could do...

Brent Masterson swore he would never give into the fierce attraction that's been sizzling between him and Kayla since they first met. He has his own demons, and he won't risk his heart again. Not even for someone as gorgeous and amazing as Kayla. So...how exactly did he end up in Kayla's bed last night?

Sometimes all it takes is an ice storm to show two broken hearts the way home...

Ratings and reviews

Really LOVED this story! I thought the characters were great (adored Ruby!), and they worked perfectly together!! Hopefully we will be getting Miles' story soon! OK enough exclamations. I really did enjoy this book though and can't wait to read more. Brent Masterson has had his heart shattered in the past so there is no way he is going to lay it out there again. That's why staying away from Kayla is priority number one. The attraction is too strong so best just to ignore it! Kayla Daniels has worked hard her whole life. When she is wrongly accused at work and given a suspension, she takes a spur of the moment trip to Mt. Pleasant to see her brother. It was suppose to be a quick trip but rain and an accident having her hanging around a bit longer. She can't allow Brent to distract her though. Getting back to work is all she should be thinking about. Too bad it's not! Awesome read that I highly recommend.

Sometimes the path we see for ourselves may not be the road we are meant to take. Kyra Jacobs' Her Unexpected Detour is a charming story about opening up to new possibilities. Loved the characters and story. Kayla and Brent each had things in their life needing to be worked through. Kayla was dealing with work issues and loss. Brent was still affected by past heartbreak. Life happens whether good or bad, but it's how the experience is handled that makes us who we are. Her Unexpected Detour by Kyra Jacobs is simply sweet. I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

This is the second book I've read by Kyra and I like it even more than the first. The whole concept of the Checkerberry Inn made me want to drag the hubby out for an extended weekend at a nearby B&B. The story was a pleasant mix of complex and yet still easy-going which was great. I read to escape the daily grind and relax a little. This story kept me engaged, but happily helped me checkout of my daily routine. The characters were great too. Yeah, I loved the hero and heroine, but my hat is off to Ruby. Nothing like a feisty, older matchmaker to liven up a story. I'm looking forward to the next in the series.
