Book Review of The Unlikely Pair by Jax Calder

The Unlikely Pair by Jax Calder
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was a highly anticipated read for me and it did not disappoint! As always Jax Calder must be a research ninja because she always peppers for stories with amazing facts. While reading, I must have been highlighting every other page just vibing with the book. I love their snark as a way to calm each other down, and being stranded I would have thought Toby would be the more resourceful one, but in comes Harry and his survival skills and kicks ass. I think there were no one better to have been stranded in the dense forest on Finland, Toby with his gut and Harry with his levelheaded ness.

This truly felt like an enemies to lovers trope, it's so rare for me to feel that way, as most enemies to lovers trope walk a weird line of attraction, but from the start there was none on Toby's end, and Harry's political marriage was such a convincing front that I really thought he was straight and it was a cheating bi-awakening.

Some things that flitted through my mind as I read this book, there was no addressing the toilet/bodily functions part, but maybe that had no place in a romance such as this... But I sorta thought it would have been mentioned since that's often something people think about when thought of being stranded in the wild. I mean it's no biggie.

Also did they bathe? Or brush their teeth? I can't help but think about it as they enjoy the kissing and other acts in the wilderness. I guess they did fall into the water so that's cleansing of some sort.

All in all I really really really enjoyed this book and stayed awake way too late so I can finish the book.

Though this story is a HEA for the couple, the story continues in book 3 and I can not wait for it!!
