Branford aspires to lead his kingdom with both wisdom and a firm hand while Alexandra fervently wishes to give her husband an heir.

It seems as though their lives have finally rewarded them with the happiness they have sought.
But happiness comes at a price, for war is on the horizon.
The neighboring kingdom of Hadebrand has amassed an army, and against insurmountable odds, Branford must lead the fight for his people. Alexandra is terrified but cannot let her fear show for she must serve as an example to their kingdom.
The war must eventually end, but there is only one thing on Branford’s mind—to continue the royal lineage. But how will Alexandra overcome her heartache when she can’t give her husband the one thing he must have?

 

Carla’s 5 Star Review:

*I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review for Stephanie’s Book Reports.

The Shortcoming is the fourth book in the Unexpected Circumstances series. In this installment, Branford and Alexandra are growing closer and learning what it means to really be there for one another. When war breaks out, Branford must leave Alexandra, and neither one of them deal with being separated very well. However, it is during this absence that Alexandra realizes just how important her role is. She knows that she must be strong for the people of the kingdom. When the war is over, Branford places his sole focus on creating an heir to the throne, but nothing seems to be happening in that department. For fear of spoilers, that is all I can share.

I tell ya this series has become an addiction for me! I just can’t get enough of Branford and Alexandra! Their relationship is real and heartwarming! I would be remiss if I didn’t tell you that this one ends with a whopper of a cliffhanger! This may leave you wanting to toss your kindle out the window. All I can say is bring on the next book ASAP!

Renee’s 5 Star Review:

I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review for Stephanie’s Book Reports.

Unexpected Circumstances:The Shortcoming is the fourth book in this historical romance series from Shay Savage. You must read the first three books to not be really lost. There are seven books total in the Unexpected Circumstances Series each releasing two weeks apart.

As Branford and Alexandra’s relationship continues to grow Alexandra finds friendship with a girl Branford saved from slavery and her master and was made her handmaid. Alexandra is learning and things could not be going better. But with all smooth sailing war is the bump in the road along with the need to produce an heir.

I am so addicted to this series!! It’s absolutely amazing. Branford is becoming one of my favorite male characters and it’s so much fun to watch Alexandra learn and grow in her role of being a noble. Their relationship is just one you can’t help but have high expectations for and watching them fall in love is a beautiful thing. I think we see that growth so much in this book. So much so it lulls you into your comfortable bliss spot and then bam slaps you right up the side of the head. HARD!!!! Kindle throwing, bad words flying, oh no she didn’t hard. Needless to say I want that fifth book now even though it has the potential to change my whole Unexpected Circumstances world.

If you’ve not started this series your missing out and have four books out now to read. I’ve never been a fan of historical romance but this series is at the top of my list as favorite all time. Don’t let the historical keep you away or your missing out on something absolutely amazing. If anyone can make you love a historical romance if it’s not your thing it’s Shay Savage.
