Awesome Story & Narration Captivating & Enjoyable!
Finding Rowena
Missing Pieces, Book 1
By: Rachel Blake
Narrated by: Krystal Klein
I enjoyed this book immensely, it is well written with interesting storylines that are captivating from start to end. The characters are likable and easy to relate to. I adored Rowena and her relationship with her husband Octavius aka Bear, there is great chemistry between them and their love life is a spicy Daddy Dom/submissive type. There is some light BDSM in the book all tastefully done. I loved the originality of the triplets storyline and how they are getting to know each other and finding out what their circumstances were and are in current day. The author fit an impressive amount of story into this book, it is plotted out nicely and there is never a dull moment, with plenty of drama, some humor, a touch of angst, some heartfelt moments and some hot ones. I am looking forward to what comes next in this series, I hope it comes to Audible soon. Rachel Blake, thank you for this awesome story.
I listened to the Audible edition, Krystal Klein is a wonderful narrator and voice artist. She did a great job portraying the characters, bringing each to life with their own voice and personality making it easy to follow them. You could hear how much heart she put into her work as she captures the characters emotions and projects them into her performance. She is an entertaining storyteller and a pleasure to listen to. Thank you for the awesome listen
On balance Finding Rowena is an engaging and enjoyable read and one that I recommend if your looking for a lighter BDSM/ DD read. The characters are likeable, Rowena and Octavius are already a couple so whilst there wasn’t so much of a romance there is plenty of steam both BDSM and discipline wise. The pace was good and there are some great supporting characters.
There were a few minor issues that meant I wasn’t able to rate this any higher than “liked it”. The first is that it felt as if I’d arrived in the middle of a story or series of books, characters and situations were spoken about as though I already had knowledge of them. This proved to be quite distracting at times and left me floundering a little.
The book also felt a little more tell than show. Since Octavius/O/Bear/Daddy (perhaps one name would have been sufficient?) and Ro were already in a dynamic and married this didn’t prove too much of an issue in terms of believing in their relationship. However it DID impact on what felt like a very abrupt and slightly out of left field decision at the end. Because we didn’t hear their ‘mental thought processes’ it felt like choices and actions came out of nowhere.
The final thing was that I wasn’t quite sure what the actual main focus of the book was, which also played into me being a little surprised by the ending. I thought the story was heading somewhere else altogether! There are quite a few loose ends left at the end of this book, which I assume will be picked up and form part of both Teagan and Evelyn’s stories.
I liked this enough that I do intend to continue reading about them all.
This is an interesting plot and a little bit different. The story moves along at a nice steady pace as everything is unraveled and revealed. The characters are wonderful, the men are dominant, and the women are feisty. A really great story and it has me looking forward to the rest of the series.

Wow is all I can say
Finding Rowena is the first book in the new Missing Pieces series by Rachel Blake. I have read the three books in her previous series and enjoyed each of them so I was expecting the same when I picked up this one. I was not disappointed as I really enjoyed adored this first book in the series and the way the story is set-up for the other two books. Let’s just say that what Rowena discovers would blow any woman’s mind and put her into counseling for years. But it also brings new hope, love and not feeling quite so untethered.
I received a free ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review. My opinions are all my own.
Loved the book it was great, the story was well written and the characters are interesting. Rowena was born one of the triplets, her other two sisters were separated at birth as well. Rowena is married to Octavia who is dominant alpha male that likes to be called daddy. Rowena wanted to find her real parents that is when she meets her sisters.
Thank you for allowing me to review your book.

Wow! Amazing story.
Oh my word I LOVED this book it’s the first I’ve read by this author & I’m hooked. This is such a wonderful story I couldn’t put it down, the characters are all amazing. The love O & Ro’s different aspects of their relationship being friends, husband/wife, lovers, dom/sub they are just beautiful together & they have you laughing, she’s sassy & cute but then have you tearing up over the loss of their babies. Their friends Luca & Jason are also protective of Ro & the dinamic they all have is serious but also hilarious then throw in Ro’s long lost triplet sisters on the mix & it entertainment, drama overload each different but also similar. I’ve not been excited like this for a while about wanting to read the next part of the story & how the other relationships work out.

I can’t begin to say how much I enjoyed this book! I loved almost everything about it. The characters were wonderful. The storyline sucked me in and there was just the right mix of heat and laughter. What clinched it for me though, was Octavius. What a wonderful complement to Rowena. My only criticism is that I found it difficult at the start to figure out the characters. Everyone had their name as well as a nickname and they were all introduced very close together.
It Grabbed My attention and focus so strong I could not put it down. A word of advice when you get your copy. Grab a snack, a comfy seat, kick back and relax. You will not be moving until you finish this bad boy here. Remarkable job. Thanks for sharing.

Rowena is a talented young lady who was adopted by loving people the Rosenblooms and she was home schooled until she got in high school. She became and environmental lawyer and she was married to her loving husband Octavius Erickson. O as Octavius was called belong to this security Agency called S.E.A.L. Their agency was headed Luca and Jason and O were part of the agency. O was a retired Navy Seal. They had a dog named trident who was a retired dog from the service and now was part of their agency. Ro happened to see this women who looked like her on TV. It seems that she had happened about her siblings by mistake and she found out that she had a sister named Evelyn who had been adopted by a family the Berkshires’ and then their was Tegan her other sibling who was never adopted so she went from foster home to foster home, but she had become a cop. They were all identical so their was triplets who had been left at a firehouse and none of them knew about each other until their sister Evelyn who was engaged to the governor elect of Oregon appeared at his side while he gave a speech and asked her to marry him. The story is mainly written with the most loving one, Rowena trying to get to know her siblings and eventually they all formed a tie because they were identical triplets and were all raised differently. It was a pretty good story it had issues of infertility within the story and abusive relationships and of course BDSM, which happened to be the most loving one and the one Rowena was involved with her husband and Dom Octavius. I thought it was pretty good. It probably should have a part two to see what happens with her two sisters Evelyn and Tegan

Captivating story with plenty of great discoveries. Rowena has a likable personality. I really liked the secondary characters and hope to read their stories as well. This is wonderfully written and very entertaining.

I enjoyed the book a lot. I liked the triplet storyline and the men and family in their lives. The ending was ok but the cliffhanger coukd have been so much more intense since there’s so much left unanswered.
This book is most definitely part of a series. Even though it’s tagged as being book one of a new series, the way it started made me wonder if I’d missed a prequel or something. A lot like the old: “we now rejoin our regularly scheduled programming already in progress”. And the ending is very abrupt. I felt like it stopped with the thought only partly complete. However, everything that happened in the middle was fantastic. The story is compelling, filled with lots of emotion and humor. I’m already half in love with these characters and I can’t wait to get my hands on the next book.

Rowena and her husband, security expert O, have a beautiful D/S relationship. She and her Sir/Daddy are very happy. Then, they realize that adopted Ro has siblings. Two sister and they are triplets. This sets off the story and it is a good one. As different as chalk and cheese, but still alike, they have to learn each other. A good spanking story. Can’t wait to read their stories.

I can’t even begin to say how much I loved this book. Rowena and Octavius are a very happily married couple when suddenly, Ro finds out she is one of triplet sisters. What follows is a journey for Rowena as her and her sisters try to forge a sibling relationship. There are tears of joy and happiness but there are also some tears of sadness. The emotions came through strong in this book and I honestly can’t wait to read Teagan and Evie’s stories. Octavius is a guy that is easy to fall for! Strong, dominant and you can feel how much he loves his wife. His friends are all great too and I have a feeling we will see them paired up with the other two sisters. I laughed, I got ticked off, I cheered and I cried. Can’t really say much because I don’t want to put any spoilers up but this is going to be a book I read several times over. Now I’m eagerly waiting for the next sister’s story.
The premise for this series is an immediate draw, and this first in series doesn’t disappoint at all. Ro has to be one of the most appealing characters I’ve read, possibly ever. She’s bouncy, exhausting, hugging, loving, vulnerable woman, and, when she finds out she is one of triplets, you almost feel sorry for them because she’s going to love the hell out of them, whether they want this or not. And her husband – gorgeous Dominant man that Octavius is – will be there to support, protect, and discipline her. We get tantalizing glimpses into the other triplets’ stories, and there is going to be heartache, albeit of different kinds, in both Teagan’s story and Evie’s. I can’t wait for more of these sisters, nor to see their happily ever afters – with dominant, rather than abusive, men. And I want to see Ro and her Bear have their much-wanted child – however that child becomes theirs.
