HE’S a hot actor with an image problem and I’M supposed to be his redemption??

Hollywood megastar Greyson Vaughn needs a girlfriend to help him combat rumours that he’s stalking his ex. I need a distraction from grad school, bills and my nonexistent love life. So when he offers me a job as his fake girlfriend for the weekend so the paparazzi can snap some cozy photos, I’m in.

But Greyson is either a better actor than I thought or I’ve fallen for the old bait and switch. Because there was nothing in our agreement about kissing. Or ending up in bed together. And those feelings he’s murmuring about…they’re for Hollywood romance, not real life. Aren’t they?

About the Author

Brenda is a displaced New Yorker living in the English countryside. She's lived in the UK long enough to gain dual citizenship, but still doesn't understand Celsius. However, she has learned the appropriate use of the word "pants". And how to order a proper bacon bap/barm/buttie. Because, well, bacon.

Brenda writes contemporary romance to make you giggle and swoon. When she's not writing, she enjoys hiking, running and reading. In theory, she also enjoys cooking, but it's more that she enjoys eating and, try as she might, she can't live on Doritos alone.

    Reviewed in the United States on April 14, 2017

    There is something about a modern day fairytale like love story that makes me swoon. Take a Hollywood heartthrob and an everyday girl, put them together in a humorous and passionate love story, and I am hooked. Brenda St. John Brown has yet another brilliant book in her Castle Calder series. This story has everything we love about new adult romantic stories. There is a man and a woman, two people finding themselves, who fall in love along the way.
    A Brit Unexpected feels like a glimpse into the beginning of a happily ever after. In the real world of Hollywood romances, there are ups and downs that make it hard. This book explores the raw uncertainty and hesitation two people can have in a new relationship. There is second guessing and frustration but the good times seem to outweigh the bad. These two click, allowing each other a safe place to see life in a fresh way. I love their chemistry and banter, something that livens their story.
    I appreciated how Brown takes this love story and creates a book that is fresh with a hint of vulnerability. She creates and environment for her two leads to find love and a safe place from the chaos of life. Nothing is perfect but it gives the reader hope that there are many more good times to come. Claire is a female lead that people will relate to; a woman that is both confident and wounded from what she has been through. Her fears and hesitation allows her authenticity to relate to the reader, giving this book an edge. Greyson adds a sense of appeal that draws you in and once he reveals a softer, real side, you want what is best for him; and that is Claire.
    This book is a wonderful combination of fairytale and hopeful realism. There is a constant tug and pull between both sides until these two find a place that is comfortable to be in. I am excited for more of the Castle Calder series and hope to see much more of these two in the future! I need more of their story and happily ever after.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Fake relationship stories are my favorite! Doing it for publicity
    Reviewed in the United States on April 10, 2017

    Fake relationship stories are my favorite! Doing it for publicity? Sprinkles on top of Nissa’s ideal trope cupcake. A Brit Unexpected was my first read by the author, and I enjoyed it very much. We have two reluctant people in a ruse of a relationship, often wondering if what they’re doing is an act and if their feelings are more than what they planned it to be.

    I like how Claire fangirled over Greyson at the beginning. It felt very realistic to have a heroine who isn’t totally immune to a famous celebrity’s star factor, especially since Claire was a fan of his. Despite that, she still preferred he didn’t flirt with her unnecessarily. When they’re not putting on a show, she’d rather avoid affection and endearment because she’s honest she might not know if it’s real or not.

    And Greyson is the sweetest! He knows exactly what to say to make a girl’s heart (and panties) melt. He goes into defensive mode when he thinks his privacy is being threatened and can tend to be a d*ck about it, but Claire calls him out on it and doesn’t let him off the hook.

    I also loved their banter when they were in Calder Castle. It was easy to see when they were getting comfortable with each other. Who knew a conversation about capers could be so engaging?

    However, when I first started reading A Brit Unexpected, I honestly thought they were in their early twenties. Their dialogue had an air of youth I didn’t expect from a twenty-eight-year-old guy like Greyson. If you asked me Claire’s age, I still wouldn’t be able to give a sure answer.

    Other than that, I still very much enjoyed A Brit Unexpected. Who hasn’t imagined being in a relationship with their celebrity crush? Makeovers, paparazzi, red carpet premieres? It’s like the author saw my doodles when I was still crushing hard on Tom Felton back in the old Half-Blood Prince, Deathly Hallows era.

    A Brit Unexpected is the second standalone in the Calder Castle series and is told in Claire’s POV. It was a fast-paced story with a slow burn romance, fun banter, and low angst; perfect for a weekend or light read.

    I love Claire and Greyson!!! This is a book I had to keep reading until the very end and then was completely gutted when it was finished. As a Brit it's nice to read something set on this side of the Atlantic and not too far away from where I live. I can even forget the slight slips like Hannah saying she started a course in the Fall, we don't really say that in the UK. I loved both castle Calder books and can't wait for Scarlett's book!!!

    A Brit Unexpected is book 2 in the Castle Calder series (3 books)...
    Enjoyed this read, humour all the way through. Characters are well formed (from bk 1) except Greyson who is new, and the love object of Claire. The author must have a brilliant sense of humour as the banter is fantastic between the characters.

    Well worth a read (the whole series).

    I loved this book. It was so easy to picture the characters and also really makes you think about the whole "celebrity fake relationship" scenario. I can't wait to read more of the Castle Calder series and think it would make a great TV idea although would have to be shown after 9pm as there is some very hot stuff going on!
