~Just cannot ignore what she feels~
Sam was a “love-‘em-then-leave-‘em-type” gal these days…until she runs into Jason again, a guy from her high school years who is all (and MOST deliciously) grown up now. And once she has had one bite, her heart tells her something she is not ready nor willing to listen. Will he be The One who will break her long streak using men for temporary satiation or can she chance dropping her tough-girl act and open herself up again?
A perfectly steamy little read!
Finding Forever is a short read that packs a punch with some of the best character development I’ve ever read. I love when it feels like your part of their world and the characters could be in your tribe of friends. Samantha is a survivor who will not be defined by her past or the people who tried to break her spirit. Jason is a man who has learned to accept who he is on the inside even it doesn’t match the Zeus physic on the outside. A captivating story of self-discovery, fate, and love.

This is a good quick read and a super start to the series. It was well written with wonderful characters that you cannot help but like and root for. I really enjoyed it and cannot wait for the next book.
Scorching hot short story! Sam has been hurt in the past and she keeps love away by kicking guys out before the night is over. Jason has had his eyes on Sam since they were kids, when he was just a scrawny nerd. Now he’s all grown up and Sam is gaving a hard time remembering why she should make him leave. This cover is absolutely gorgeous.

3.5 stars
Samantha’s closed her heart ever since her high school boyfriend did something so horrendous that she could barely comprehend it. She’s lived life casually and without emotional entanglements since he shredded her. Until Jason walks back into her life and somehow kickstarts her heart. Can she allow him inside her soul? Can she let him inside more than her bed?
This was way shorter than I wanted, but it was still entertaining and sucked me into Samantha and Jason’s world. I didn’t find myself liking or connecting with Samantha much, but I did love Jason. I’m hoping there’s more of their story to come because the ending was vague.
4 out of 5 stars
This is the first book in the Found by Fate series and is about three friends that work together . Samantha, Tess and Jade all work in the local grocery store and are all single. There are a few customers that they do like but alas each girl is not wanting strings . This first book is Samantha’s book , she is wanting no strings attached sex after being hurt really bad . She also remembers the skinny boy that dared to kiss her at a high school dance that rocked her world . Well her world is about to be rocked again when that young boy comes back as a sexy built baker . Who wants nothing more then to get with the girl he held a torch for since high school.
This is a fun fast read that you can read in an evening . The characters are well written and you will love them . The author can really write a great character and pack lots into them even if it is a novella. Each character is flawed but do get to heal from the past when they get back together . Yes this is a sexy book but you will be cheering them on through out and hoping that they finally leave the baggage behind. This will be a great read by the fire sipping a glass of wine , I can’t wait to start book two in the series . So check them out .
Really enjoyed the steamy short story and would’ve loved to see what happens next for them. Loved the character building and hot he just got under her skin. I just felt the story line was a bit unbelievable.
Friends Samantha, Jade and Tessa all work in a grocery store. Each of them have a customer or two that strike their fancy. Each book focuses on one of the ladies and how they “bag” their man/men.
In book 1, Samantha finds her own version of the ugly duckling story. Only the ugly duckling had left her remembering a kiss that was never replicated by anyone else.
In book 2, Tessa meets kindred spirits that bring her salvation from a life she didn’t want or choose.
In book 3, Jade finds the one man that can impact her life the way she has only dreamed of.
Each story is short, sweet, and steamy!
Only thing I wish I would have read was how Samantha was finally able to get rid of Bob and got the job she wanted!

This is a nice short read, good characters and a good storyline looking forward to reading more of the authors work.
