I have read others by this author and was excited to see Paul and Isabel's story. Paul is an introverted genius and Isabel is an outgoing fitness trainer. When Paul and Isabel met it was instant love. They married quickly and fell into a routine that eventually led to hard feelings on both sides and divorce. This book talks about what happens when they put the anger aside and really communicate. 

Overall, I enjoyed the story. Like with Rimmer's other novels, it was well written and the story line flowed. The characters were really fleshed out and the emotions where real. However, I <spoiler> really hate that Paul was in therapy for so long and his therapist didn't know he still loved Isabel and/or encouraged him to reach out. Especially since she was originally their couples counselor. However, that didn't diminish my joy at finally reading Paul and Isabel's story.

I read so much romance and I liked that this was't the same "recipe". It was beautiful seeing this couple work on their relationship and finding a better love.

After having read and loved the first book in this series, I was very excited to read Unspoken. This book is not as lighthearted as Unexpected, but that made me love it just a little bit more. Paul and Isabel are days away from being divorced when they both end up at their beach house for the weekend. What follows is intense, heartbreaking, tender, lovely and even frustrating. These two characters wrapped themselves around my heart, I was rooting for them the whole way, a bit in love with Paul myself! I’m not sure there is anything better than a second chance romance, and this story and its characters showed why. Their history, their initial falling in love, their complicated adversarial relationship and separation, all added so many layers. I can’t wait to read Book 3, Undone.

I didn't notice that this was a second book in a series but I don't think that would have changed my opinion much. I would really give it a 3.5, but we don't have halves! 

It had my attention for the first part, but after they end up at the house together and were bickering, I sort of lost interest and didn't get it back until the last chapter and epilogue. 

Seems very much like a version of "he said,she said" that was popular many years ago. , I think it might be a good book for someone going through rough times in a marriage,. May be more interesting than a self help book, but I really didn't like Isabel. She is very spoiled and self centered,  he nailed it with the shrew analogy, but probably more like the word that rhymes with witch. 

I got bogged down with all their bickering and analyzing the bickering. (And I get that is his personality)  Me thinks a bit much. Looks.like the next book may be more story, not analytical, so I might try it. It is a decent read, just not a favorite.

I received this book as a complimentary copy for an unbiased review.The opinions expressed are my own.

This is the second book in this series and I think it is the last book I will read in the series. This was Paul and Isobel's book, and since I had read the first book and this couple was mentioned I was nosy and wanted to read. I liked Paul well enough and I was stumped on why no one had figured out before that he was a little autistic, while reading I had picked up on it so it made me wonder why if Isobel claimed she had loved him so never figured it out? Huh? but I have to say I did not like Isobel at all, here we are constantly reminded that she is so nice and yet I didn't pick up on that at all. Yes I get that going thru a divorce can bring out the worst in people but she really bugged me..I am glad that they were able to resolve their differences but to read the next one on Jess, yeah no..
