Description
Porter
“Porter, only you can help yourself. We’re here to guide you, but we can’t take you to the next level if you refuse to work.”
…there’s nothing they can do for me.
No matter what I tell them, what I do or whom I talk to, my woman is gone, my kid is dead, my career is over and the only family that loved me, now despises me.
I was once the nation’s biggest musical sensation. An International heartthrob. Now, I’m a skeleton of a life I once lived.
Porter Kendrick: the man, the myth, the legend.
A fallen branch of the Colthurst-Decker dynasty.
The demons of my past haunt me. Do I have the strength and will power to put them to rest? Can anyone really have it all?
Mackenzie
Love is a four-letter word more powerful than the energy of the sun. Love can move mountains. Love can conquer all. But there’s also the other side of the story, the sad truth. Love can destroy. Once, there was this boy I met with a set of amber eyes and a bright smile who took my breath away. It wasn’t love at first sight. No, we fell in love slowly, through the day-to-day contact.
Leonard Brooke promised to be my prince charming, as long as I could save him when he needed me. No other man could make me feel strong, safe, loved, and cherished.
But Leonard Brooke died, leaving me to figure out how to handle the grief of his loss. Inside though I’m incomplete. Broken.
My sassy-fiery daughter and my creative-sweet son are who keep me afloat. Trying to find a new normal without the love of my life, I head to Oregon. Leaving behind our old life and dreams.
Am I strong enough to start over? Can I turn my back on the only man I’ve loved?

5 DECKER-COLHURST STARS
"You and me. The possibilities are endless."
This book is about forgiveness, forgiveness from others but also more importantly, learning to forgive yourself and to accept forgiveness from others.
"How do you teach your heart to beat again, your lungs to breathe and find a new way to live?"
It's also about second chances even when you don't think you deserve it or even if you fight it or even if you don't see it right in front of you.
Mac and Porter's story isn't easy but it was so real and raw.
"...loving her like I'll only love her. Trying to share with her my every thought, my every heartbeat, my entire soul."
--Suzanne, Tied Up In Romance
There is always a book that comes along that sucks you in, a book that holds you hostage to every page, every sentence, every word.
The final book in the Unexpected series did just that.
This book needs to be savoured, as much as you want to flip the page to see what happens next, you want to savour every part as you know it's got to end at some point, but you want to delay the inevitable.
Undefeated was a true work of art.
Undefeated truly defeated all my emotions and just made me Porter Kendrick's #1 fan
--Monique, #Minx loves Books
Undefeated was an amazingly, sweet and romantic second chance at redemption, life and forgiveness love story.
This book felt bittersweet. I've wanted all of the characters in this story to have their HEA's since I first read about them, and now I feel as if I have closure to everyone's story. I'm more that satisfied with the ending of this book and if this is truly the end of the series, or if there is still more to come I'm satisfied either way. I didn't know what to expect from this author when I first started this series, but after reading all five books in this series I'm excited to see how she tops one.
There were some unconventional relationships in this series but they were done in the best ways. I highly recommend this series to all romance readers who are willing to go into this series with an open mind and experience the most amazing and unconditional love between family, not only through blood but through bonds.

"You three are the spark that ignited the flame and became my reason to become a better person."
I am so glad I was given the opportunity to read this book before its release. It is a wonderful addition to the Unexpected series.
Everyone deserves a second chance - a chance to prove that they are some much more than the mistakes of their past. For Porter Kendrick, that chance is now.
I will be honest, based on previous books, I wasn't sure how well I would take to Porter, but I found myself caring for him, listening to his story, and connecting with the various pieces of his heart and soul.
-- Erica
This was SUCH a wonderful story about redemption, forgiveness, family, second chances, and finding love again. It was really emotional and totally pulled at my heartstrings. A beautiful novel to end an engrossing series.
I love the Decker clan and I'm really going to miss them!!
