Blurb:
Deliah Lopez Dreser’s in town to take care of family business. They say the apple doesn't fall far from the tree, but there’s more to Lilah than meets the eye. Cole’s in danger of losing his heart when this firestorm throws sparks his way. However, is she simply playing him for the fool in order to exact revenge for her brother’s murders? Maggie and Seth’s reaction when the truth is revealed pushes friendship to the limit. And this time around it won’t be a Dreser causing an uproar in Port Fare. It will be Cole's good friend Booker. But does Booker have it all wrong? Usually not!
My Review:
Wow! Oh wow! Ms. Gammon delivered yet again like she did in Unbelievable. When I finished reading Unlovable first book in series, I was blown away and couldn't wait to dig into the next one. But as much as I wanted the next book, I didn't think I could love another character like I loved the first two. I'm one of those girls that when I start reading a series I fall in love with my characters. So Ms. Gammon outdid herself. I absolutely LOVED Lilah. She was just as a victim as Maggie was. She was a sweet girl. One thing about Gammon is that she writes very descriptive. So descriptive I can actually see everything I read vividly in my head. And I really enjoyed that about this book, every paragraph I read was a vivid scene.
Unbelievable is Cole's story. If you read Unlovable, then you know who Cole is. Cole is the sexy yet very clumsy doctor. He won my heart with his kindness and his sweetness. He's definitely a guy you have to snatch up if given the chance before someone else does. And that's what Lilah did. She couldn't help but fall for his charm. But will her family history let her keep the new love of her life?
In Unbelievable you get a spend time with the characters and see how they interact with one another. You can feel their chemistry and their concerns. You get to fall in love with Cole like Lilah did. You also get to find out what has Booker over the edge which causes him to behave the way he does. And you get to witness the love between Seth and Maggie.
Unbelievable sucked me in immediately. I knew from the beginning that I liked Lilah and I liked her for Cole. I understand her motives and felt a lot of compassion for her. Deep down inside she's a good person who doesn't know how to disappoint her father. I enjoyed reading how their relationship blossomed. I also enjoyed the back story and reading about Maggie and Seth. I can't wait to read Booker's story, which I'm sure it's next in series. I love Unbelievable as much as I loved Unlovable. I give Unbelievable a 4.5 stars and a definite Good Choice for Reading.

I took a bite of chicken. Delicious. I needed to learn how to cook. “And I’d appreciate it if you two would stop trying to fix me up. I’m more than capable of finding my own woman when I’m ready. Why don’t you fix Booker up?” I suggested.
“Yeah, right. Where do you suggest we find a woman for Booker? I can’t wait to see the woman who finally nails him down,” Maggie said with a laugh. “She’ll have to be a saint.”
“True, a mere mortal will never do for me,” Booker said, waltzing into the room.
“Hello, Book,” Seth said. “How did you get out of work already?”
“I can do whatever I want. Remember, I’m sleeping with the captain, my friend,” he grinned.
“You are the captain,” I laughed.
“And I sleep with myself every night.” His eyes darted to the table. “Hey, I’m just in time. Lemon chicken.” He grabbed a piece, but paused before putting it in his mouth. He sniffed at it, as if testing a fine wine. “Wait, who made this?” He eyeballed Maggie playfully. “You did, didn't you, Magpie?” Booker guessed.
“I ’m not telling, Sylvester,” she retorted as he scooped a second piece and slipped it into his mouth. “Bad kitty. It’s terrible manners to eat from the serving plate. Sit.” Maggie pulled out his chair.
He grabbed the plate and serviced up a larger portion than Maggie had already given him. The guy could pack it away...
...“So, Cole, how’s your girlfriend doing?” Booker asked, taking a large bite.
“She’s not my girlfriend. She’s a nice girl you hired to redo my office,” I said, slightly exasperated with all this Lilah talk. I’d been fighting to keep her off my mind. I certainly didn’t need everyone bringing her front and center into the conversation. “Seth’s trying to convince me to ask her out.”
“How come you never try and fix me up?” Booker complained.
“We haven’t found anyone special enough,” Seth answered. We all laughed, even Booker.
“Good, I’ll never marry ever again. Never. Mark my words. I don’t even want to date. I’m enjoying the carefree life I live. No woman around to demand I fix this, or watch some silly chick flick.” He shuddered playfully.
“Going home to an empty house, and sleeping in an empty bed. No one to talk with at night or go on long walks with in the fall,” I added softly.
Everyone got quiet.
“I am so fixing you up with Lilah,” Maggie said, breaking the awkward silence.
