Finding #2
Finding Me
The lines are blurred between what is real and what isn't, the darkness that was once a place I feared was now a place of safety.
If I stayed in the darkness, the hellish reality of what was truly happening no longer seemed real.
But I was about to be pulled from beneath the consuming blanket of dark shadows, and plunged into the murky depths of my past.
I was about to be shown my demons and all their evil sides, all of their pain and grief. I could only hope I survive it.
What happens when the world you once knew crumbles and falls at your feet?
Who will find me? Who will save me from my demons?
My dark prince or my white knight...
And will I find myself in the process?

January 17, 2014
I was able to get an ARC of this awesome book.You will not get spoilers out of me, so you can read this if you would like.
OMG!!!! I dont think I can say that enough times about this book.
This book is filled with so much emotion, anger, hate, rage, fright, feelings, healing, love, love and more love. I cried, I screamed, I wanted to throw my Kindle. I wanted to hug Neva and make her better. I wanted to hug Logan and make him better. I wanted to take Angel home with me and make him not hurt anymore.
I fell in love with ALL of the characters in book one, and I was very happy to find out what happened with them in book two. I was very pleased with the outcome and will recommend this to everyone! :)
Im looking forward to book three. I cant wait to find out what happens with Tate and Low! They need their Happily Ever After :)

Review to come with my tour post on 1/31...
**FULL REVIEW**
“Death is one of life’s biggest weakness, it is the one thing that will break even the strongest of people.�
Neva honestly didn’t think she’d ever come out of this situation alive. Beaten and bound, at the mercy of a certified lunatic, Neva struggles to come to peace with not only what is about to happen but the betrayal of how she ended up in her current situation to begin with�
“Suddenly, pain shredded through my chest, pulling all of the air from my lungs. But it wasn’t the pain that coursed through my limbs, it was the pain I was all too familiar with. Deceit, betrayal, pain, fear. The pain was terrifying, no demon I conjured within the pit of hell compared to the pain I feel right now.�
Doing the only thing she can think to do, in order to have a chance of surviving…taunt the sick man who has plotted revenge for over ten years. Find a way to get help…her cell phone, luckily still in her pocket. Even the smartest of criminals� slip-up sometimes.
“You came.� Her voice was husky and sounded painful. Christ, what has he done to her? Her eyes are fluttering, as if she was falling asleep. I need to keep her awake. I slowly rain soft kisses across her beautiful face, careful not to hurt her. Her body responds immediately to my touch, covering her from head to toe in goose bumps. I trail my lips to her swollen red cheeks to her ear, hoping to god she will understand me. “I will always find you, Neva. Always.� I whisper.�
Logan. Once again, Logan comes to her rescue. Every time she has needed him for over the last ten years, he has always been there. The love he feels for Neva knows no bounds and he will do whatever it takes to prove that he is the one for her…but when is enough, enough? How many times can one man stand to have his heart ripped from his chest because the woman he loves runs away the minute things get tough?
The fight is no longer for Neva’s heart though, it’s for her sanity. How much hell can one person really go through before they succumb to the demons and wallow in their own personal pits of hell? Fighting for her heart was easy, Logan never thought getting through to Neva’s mind would be the real challenge. He knows her, has known her forever…and loves her. Every broken piece. Problem is, can she love herself enough push through the demons keeping her from fully living a life of love and happiness? Or will she pull everyone down into her own personal hell of the past she can’t seem to escape.
“I don’t want to hurt you, Logan.� She whispers, her breath caressing the skin on my cheek. She doesn’t want to hurt me? Too late. She has done it too many times to count, but yet I still love her. I still need her. I need to love her. “You already have.� I say on a shaky breath.�
What a fabulous tale about fighting the internal battles of PTSD. Neva has got to be one of the strongest, yet stubborn women I’ve read about. After reading Finding You, I was floored with the way things were left�
Finding Me picked right up and threw me face-first into the hell she faced…not just physically, but mentally and emotionally as well. While I wasn’t gripped into this story like I was the first, I definitely didn’t want to stop reading. Logan is a dream and a true “alpha�, especially when it comes to Neva. I love them together. Finding your soul mate is one thing, finding it in your best friend is just pure gold.

Yeah this definitely could've been put along with the first book to make one whole book. Instead they're short, choppy and the first ended on a cliffhanger for dramatic effect. (That's unnecessary, just put all that shit together) Well done, you obviously sucked me in because I read the second. 80% of this book was talking to a therapist or arguing with herself. While I understand why, I didn't want to read about it for so long. Bleh

"You are my sea, and I am addicted to drowning in you. When I fell in love with you, I went in feet first and I never want to come back up for air."
I enjoyed the first book in this series, but there was something about it that didn't make me love it! Well... until I got to the end! The ending of the first book was insane and so unexpected that I couldn't get it out of my head for days after I finished reading it! So to say I was desperate for this book, was an understatement! I definitely preferred this book over the first book! I'm not sure why, but I connected more with the characters in this book than the first book! The plot of this book was about the aftermath of the big secret that was revealed at the end of the first book! I loved every second of reading it! It was so emotional and really tugged at my heartstrings! The plot was also developed on from the first book amazingly! I read this book in two sittings because it hard for me to put down! The plot just drew me right in and even though it was really sad, it was beautiful at the same time! The plot was really dark, but there was light to it at certain times as well! It was full of sadness as well, but it was also about realisation as well! The characters were even more amazing than what they were in the first book! Neva was again the main female character and I loved her in this book! My heart completely went out to her as she tried to process her life and all the information that she had found out! Watching Neva struggle to come to terms with everything really was heart-breaking! She was such a strong character though, but she just didn't know it! She was definitely the kind of character I just wanted to grab in a hug and not let go of them! What happened to Nova affected her so much and it took a lot of this book for her to process it and start to learn how to come to terms with it! Logan was again the love interest of Neva and he was again so hot in this book! I do think he was hotter in this book than what he was in the first book ;) Logan went through some internal struggles in this book as well and watching him struggle was equally as hard as watching Neva struggle! They were both such broken characters, but together they made each other whole! I loved that this book was written from both Neva and Logan's point of views! Logan's head was such an interesting place to be able to go into and seeing his true feelings for Neva really was beautiful! I also enjoyed that there wasn't a love triangle in this book like there was in the first book! I'm so excited for the next book in this series! I thought that it wasn't going to be about Neva and Logan when I started this book, and I was right lol! It's actually going to be Tate and Low's story and I cannot wait to read it! Plus, I'm sure Neva and Logan will make some appearances in it! The cover for this book is stunning! It suits the new cover for the first book perfectly and the guy on the front really suits the character of Angel! Well, I'm assuming it's Angel lol! Big thank you to S.K. Hartley for an ARC of Finding Me and to Enticing Journey Book Promotions for having me on the Blog Tour!

Finding Me by S.K. Hartley
4.5 Stars
If you loved the first book Finding You, then you will love this follow up book. It basically starts where the first one finishes. Neva wakes up to find herself beaten and kidnapped but worse than that is when she realizes who has done this to her. When she comes face to face with the one person she never thought she would see. Not only that but her heart is crushed when she see’s his accomplice. Her life changes in a matter of seconds. I don’t want to throw out any spoilers but I wanted to cry for her. This poor girl has been through the friggin ringer and I just wanted to reach through my kindle and hug her. But, she is one tough b*&ch!
Logan. UGH!! I just love him. I honestly do. I love him with Neva. I love his soft side. What he does by sacrificing what he does, is just pure love. It was soooooo hard to read all the struggles these two have to go through to deal with the fallout of Neva’s kidnapping as well as dealing and healing of the realization that comes about with the accident that killed her father. My head was actually spinning once all the facts are divulged!! Could there be anymore twists to this story? Damn! LOL.
By the end of the book, I loved watching Neva heal and start to come to life again. It was refreshing and made me smile so much! Although it was heartbreaking, frustrating and a little angsty at times, it just flowed so well that I couldn’t put it down. I highly recommend this book, it is so much more then I have touched upon. I also can NOT wait for Low and Tate’s book to come out!!

My ARC review. I loved it! I felt both Logan and Neva's pain. Logan's strength was amazing. Forgiveness is hard to give but in order to keep your sanity you have to give it. I love that Neva could give that and help herself heal.
Sofie promised to give us an awesome second book and she delivered. I couldn't put it down. You will love Logan and Neva and Tate. Oh and Low is badass!!!! I give this book 10 stars!this was beautifully written. it pulls you in you will cry, yell and get pissed off with these characters. But most of all you will learn how to heal with both Logan and Neva.

****received this arc for exchange for my honest review***
Ok I will be honest here, I’m not even sure where to start this review. I don’t know if I want to tell you I cried, and I’m not talking little sniffles here. I am talking big fat ugly tears that made my family think I was going insane. Or do I start with the fact that I couldn’t put this book down, I ignored my kids and husband while reading it? Or do I tell you how much more I fell in love with Logan? I may have a slight obsession with him now! Or do I tell you about the non cliffhanger ending that still left me open mouthed, sad and wanting more…now!
I will start with how the book started, I was so scared to start this story as I remember the cliff hanger from the last book, but I dove straight in as I more needed to know what happened than I was scared. OMG� I was right to be scared. It went straight in with such hard hitting emotions I was instantly hooked. I mean what can I say, I am an angst whore…so this book was perfect for me! After the first few chapters I felt raw and worn out, the emotions that S.K brings out in her characters is just overwhelming and it leaves you shredded!
And then just when I thought it was safe to continue reading Logan happened! OMG! Logan’s pain just tore me apart, to see him suffer the way he did for love was just hard! Is it ok to want to hug someone as much as kick their ass for being stupid? You say the strength of character more in this book, you got a little in the first part but he was so unselfish and dedicated to the recovery of Neva it was just impressive.
So I have mentioned Neva so I will tell you my thoughts on her. I know in the first part of the series people found her weak and living in the past too much but I didn’t. I thought she has been through so much from such a young age that she was doing well being able to get out of bed to live at all. She came into her own in this book, a lot from her past is brought to the forefront and she is faced with having to deal with the trauma of it all. You discover that she is suffering from PTSD, which totally makes sense, and she makes big leaps in recovering from it. But the one thing she needs more than anything is Logan…and he isn’t there for her!
Angel is in this story a little and man do I just want to wrap him up in my arms and run away with him! He has been through so much in his past, and I think we are just scraping the surface with what he went through. He is living with so much pain and this book gives you a little insight into his past.
Ok I maybe mentioned this before but I LOVED this book! I mean I loved the first one but this gave me such a better understanding of the characters and their past. Once I got over the shock of the beginning there were many feelings this book caused. There were times I was scared to breath as the pain the characters were suffering was just so intense. But it wasn’t all intense�..some bits really made me giggle. Low trying to get Logan into the shower�.well lets just say that was funny! Their were tears, laughter, hot bits and heart melting moments in this book so it will give everyone a little something to enjoy! Ok I think I have gushed enough about this book and you are probably bored by now reading this review so I will just say one more thing……READ THIS BOOK!! You will not regret it! <3

After reading Finding You last year, I was anxiously waiting the sequel as it was left on a cliff-hanger. To say I was disappointed after months of waiting would be putting it lightly. looking back I can see that the first book also had the same mistakes as this one, but I was way to excited about the New Adult Genre to actually notice.
I feel really terrible for leaving behind a one star review therefore I will state my reasons in this review for why I have given it a one star. Throughout both books, Neva is whiney and acts like a victim who has had the worst kind of pain inflicted upon her. I get that her dad died and she feels guilty, and I may see insensitive for saying this but people have suffered worse. If the author wanted us to actually feel sorry for her than no offense she should have gone through something worse, personally speaking some people have had to witness people dying in front of them and have managed to continue life. So I don't understand why she thought she was to "broken" for Logan. It seems like a girl begging for attention to me. Even though the author may have not done it intentionally, that is what it came across as.
Furthermore, this book took me little over an hour to finish, that's how insubstantial it was. The book revolved around Neva and Logan running away from each other, this time he decided he wasn't good enough for her. They was no resolution between Neva and Angel, when he was a major character in the first book. And the secondary characters frankly did not interest me at all, it seemed that the boys in this book especially Neva's brother and his friends were trying too hard to seem cool, it was the way the author wrote them. They came across as idiotic and annoying, and the writing was not exactly the best either.
Books like these are the reason, why the New Adult genre is getting a lot of hate, if the authors didn't rush writing them or spend more time building their characters and world, then they would be much more better books available.

ARC provided for honest review.
I can't say enough about this series. I was hooked on the characters while reading Finding You and with that cliffhanger I knew that I had to know what happens. Don't worry.. you won't find out in my review!! You will have to read this awesome follow up to find out. There were times that I wanted to shake Neva and scream WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU, but she redeemed herself by the end. Poor Logan.. I felt so bad for him. I just wanted to jump through my kindle and give him a hug. This book pulled at every emotion. I was laughing at Low, crying for Angel & Logan, angry (at times) with Neva. Speaking of Low.. that girl has a story and I can't wait to read it! How in the world does she know how to bust a door of the hinges?!?
You don't want to miss out on this book!

You don't want to miss out on this book!

Spoilers ahead, Proceed with caution.
I litterally just finished this book in about two hours...I have to admit I really liked the first book but I didnt really care for this one at all. I feel like the cliffhanger was useless from the first book cause it could have easily been tweeked and a bit longer and have been one long standalone. All Neva and Logan do is run from one another in this book. There isn't true closure between Angel and Neva except somewhat through his Mom. Then WTF kind of Epilogue is that? Angel is like a non exsistent character in this book and then he's the epilogue? ugh! Im sorry I hate giving bad reviews esspecially when book one was good and I really looked forward to this. These are just my thoughts for now, I'll post more in a few.

I normally don't give bad reviews but I have to say I really struggled to finish this. The writing was terrible with the constant change of tense. If it wasn't for my pure stubbornness that I wouldn't leave the book unfinished then I would have put it down half way through. I also found a lot of inconsistencies, spelling and grammatical errors, it really felt as though this book was very rushed. It is such a shame as the series has been good but this book has let it down badly.

Absolutely loved this
A continuation from the first book so book 1 to be read first.
Although frustrated with neva at times when logan was going through hell, I really felt for logan. thats what makes a good book it draws you in and you feel the emotion of the characters.
Will definitely read more from this author.

I quickly read this book but i didnt know if i really wanted to. I really dont care for Neva i thought she played to many games with Logan and he kept chasing her. He gave in to easy when it came to Neva she never had to fight for anything. I still dont know how to feel about Angel either overall i couldve did without this book.

I received an ARC of this book in exchange for a honest review. I LOVED this book! S.K. delivers yet again. You will NOT be sorry you started this series! I am looking forward to the rest of the series as much as I was looking forward to this book! :) That's all you guys are getting out of me...

I had a LOVE / HATE relationship with Finding You � the first in the series (see my review ). I both loved and hated Neva, I love love LOVED Logan and I HATED Angel. With the passion of 10,000 fiery suns. I can tell you that Finding Me made me feel so much more connected to all the characters, and it left me wanting MORE of Angel. Can you believe it? No way. I know. I want him to get his own HEA, just not anywhere near Neva or Logan!
The ending of the first book had a crazy doozy cliffy that made me rage, so waiting for this book was torture. Needless to say, when this landed in my hot little hands I was more than ready for moreLogan Neva. I was also super apprehensive because I know how much the first book took out of me. Seriously there were parts *cough Angel cough* that made me feel violent. I understood why Neva made TERRIBLE decisions the first time around, but I didn’t have to like it.
There was nothing for me to be anxious about, except the hopeless situation Neva was in when we started off where we took off from last time. And anxious I was. I was reading. I was pacing. I was wondering how in the hell she was going to survive this. Would her knight be able to save her in time?
Holy shit, when that girl needed to, she found her inner strength and I was her loudest cheerleader. Neva had so much to work through before this latest event � 10 years worth of PTSD but add this latest trauma and I wondered how she would ever come out the other side living her life especially after her knight makes a decision that rocks her foundations.
Told in dual point of view I devoured Logan’s chapters. They gave me even more insight into the devotion, love and determination he’s felt for a decade. And Neva’s chapters laying out all her demons made me understand and feel her. Root for her. Cheer for her happy ending. Both of their internal struggles had them pulling them away from their friends, family and most importantly, each other.
Can I say, thank goodness there was NO LOVE TRIANGLE here. I was wondering all the way through if it would be back and I’m so glad there wasn’t.
Do you wanna know if they make it out of the dark tunnels that have consumed them? You will have to read and find out if Neva can overcome her fears and heal from her traumatic past and if Logan will risk his heart again after being so thoroughly shot down the first time.
This book takes you on an incredible journey. Secrets are uncovered, emotions pour from the pages � anger, fear, love, acceptance, forgiveness � add in some angst, some heartbreak, frustration and a smattering of family and friends you get this. A girl fighting to live her life away from the demons that stalk her and the boy that loves her, every broken piece. Bravo Ms Hartley...
"You are my sea, and I am addicted to drowning in you. When I fell in love with you, I went in feet first and I never want to come back up for air."
The ending of the first book had a crazy doozy cliffy that made me rage, so waiting for this book was torture. Needless to say, when this landed in my hot little hands I was more than ready for more
" “Suddenly, pain shredded through my chest, pulling all of the air from my lungs. But it wasn’t the pain that coursed through my limbs, it was the pain I was all too familiar with. Deceit, betrayal, pain, fear. The pain was terrifying, no demon I conjured within the pit of hell compared to the pain I feel right now.�

As long as death is a certainty, life will always be cruel. But right now, death seemed like one of the kindest certainties there is.

Neva had so much to work through before this latest event � 10 years worth of PTSD but add this latest trauma and I wondered how she would ever come out the other side living her life especially after her knight makes a decision that rocks her foundations.
" “I miss her so much it hurts.� I sigh, bowing my head. It hurts just fucking admitting it to her. “I miss her like I would miss my left arm. She is my alkies heel, my weakness, my addiction. My everything, and I damn well miss her.�
Told in dual point of view I devoured Logan’s chapters. They gave me even more insight into the devotion, love and determination he’s felt for a decade. And Neva’s chapters laying out all her demons made me understand and feel her. Root for her. Cheer for her happy ending. Both of their internal struggles had them pulling them away from their friends, family and most importantly, each other.
" “I don’t want to hurt you, Logan.� She whispers, her breath caressing the skin on my cheek. She doesn’t want to hurt me? Too late. She has done it too many times to count, but yet I still love her. I still need her. I need to love her. “You already have.� I say on a shaky breath.�
Can I say, thank goodness there was NO LOVE TRIANGLE here. I was wondering all the way through if it would be back and I’m so glad there wasn’t.
" “Sometimes the things we are running from, catch up.�
Do you wanna know if they make it out of the dark tunnels that have consumed them? You will have to read and find out if Neva can overcome her fears and heal from her traumatic past and if Logan will risk his heart again after being so thoroughly shot down the first time.
" “I love you. I know you’re scared right now, but I am here. I will protect you, Neva. Please don’t be afraid, I’ve got you. When you better, we are going to go somewhere. Just us, no one else. No more demons, no more fears. Just us. I will fight for you, in every way.�

I was privileged to receive an ARC of FINDING ME. I have been anxiously awaiting for this one after S.K. Hartley left me wanting more after book one. I was instantly hooked once I started reading this series. Logan is one of those characters that leaves you thinking about him for days after you're finished reading. I connected with Logan... I felt every emotion he felt. The mother in me wanted to go to him...to hold & comfort him for as long as he needed.
Finding Me starts off where book one left off. Neva finds herself in one hell of a situation. A situation where she is left wondering WHAT THE HELL, ANGEL. My heart broke for her. But, I must say that I did feel for Angel a little bit...but only a little. & learning a little about Angel's childhood & what he endured...My heart hurt for him. But, with that said... I just felt like he was a grown ass man so it's time to put the BIG BOY pants on!!! & His father was a SICK FREAK...a SICK FREAK INDEED!!
Ahhh, Logan. My beautiful Logan... He touched my heart so deep he melted me. I know that some will think that Logan was NOT the strong/alpha character that he was in book one... BUT, I have to disagree. What he went through for the LOVE OF HIS LIFE was a sacrifice that most men or women would NOT go through. The pain and sadness that HE felt...DANG IT...I felt it!! He wanted Neva to heal on her own & to learn how to come to terms with her past and present. It took everything he had to stay away. He suffered a lot and I admired him more for that & for what he sacrificed. He took a chance on losing his ONE & ONLY LOVE so she could heal & grow. To me...THAT'S A STRONG STRONG MAN...A REAL MAN!!!
I loved Neva's character & at times, she made me want to pull my hair out. But, I understand. I do. I didn't agree with her choice in book one but she redeemed herself in my eyes. It took her having to heal on her own without having the comfort & love of Logan that she had always depended on to heal & move on. This made her stronger & able to overcome what had tormented her & gave her the ability to offer forgiveness for what life had dealt her.
I have to mention my love for TATE & LOW. I love these two together and I love how they are so protective of the one's they love. It was very touching & EVERYONE needs friends like those two. Low has that feistiness that screams out to you!!! & Tate...oh sweet Tate!!! Love him!!! Can't wait for their story in book #3!!!
I highly recommend this series. You will connect & fall in love with these characters. FINDING ME is filled with a lot of emotions...Angst, sadness, forgiveness & lastly...LOVE!!
I give FINDING ME 5 Crazie Stars!!! ~KIM

I wish the was a more fitting term than WTF
Seriously, what did I just read?
What did I like????
The story itself � yes, it wasn't anything special but what is these days? I couldn’t stop reading and I hated the cliffhanger at the end of book 1. I wanted to know what will happen next. So it actually WAS a good book.
Tate � Oh yes, my favorite brother. Could there be anyone cooler than him? He is a good brother and a good friend. I really liked him.
Angel � Yes, even him. Maybe its because of the name, but I was surprised about his behavior around Nev. I guess I expected someone cute and innocent... which he is not. He is actually pretty cool. Not really the bad boy kind of cool, neither the I-would-love-to-introdoce-you-to-my-mom kind of cool. I don’t know... he was something in between.
What I didn’t like:
Honey,sweetheart........
Geez, there are so many nicknames in this book. Its okay when a mom gives their children nicknames, its okay when the boyfriend gives a nickname to his girlfriend and the other way around.
But a nurse giving a patient nicknames? And everyone else giving everyone nicknames???? No, just no. Waaay to much.
Epilogue of book 2 � why was it there?
Neva � Uum. I am not even sure what to say. At the beginning, there are no signs of her having a crush on Logan but since kiss no.1 she doesn’t say anything else. That was weird.
She is with Angel but thinks about Logan CONSTANTLY. She thinks about Logan when she is with Logan, she thinks about Logan when she is alone and she thinks about Logan when she is with boyfriend Angel. WTF Neva?
She wants to protect Logan from HER nightmares and that’s why she is not with him.
?????????????????????????????
Makes no sense.
She makes stupid decisions... to be honest, during the whole book 2 I seriously just waited for her to make up with Angel.
Logan � Yeah, I have no idea where to start. My advice for Logan: Grow some balls,dude.
Seriously.
The sentence: “I am broken� and “You hurt my feelings� don’t have a meaning anymore when he says it.
First of all, at the beginning of the book he is described as a man whore. I could not see that. During both books there was only ever this one girl, Georgia, mentioned. And they have been in a On-/Off Relationship. No man whoring here.....
Neva hurts his feelings, he pouts
Neva hurts his feelings again, he pouts harder
Neva hurts his feelings again and again and again and what does Logan do? Yes! He's pouting.
Wow.
PLUS:
He never stopped crying. He was crying the whole time. He is so whipped
And he is stupid enough to forgive her over and over again. Geez dude, you could do better
Don't get me wrong.
I am Team Logan here, but only because they know each other for so long, if this would be different, I would be Team Angel.
In fact, I liked him a lot better.
I know, it looks like I didn’t like the books, but that’s not true. I liked them. I just didn’t like the characters. Neva and Logan totally destroyed it.

I thought I was all “good to go� for FINDING ME but fuck me…I couldn’t be more wrong. My heart aches, my senses are on overdrive. I feel off kilter. I feel buzzed.
SK emotionally roofied me. It’s official.I have OD on emotion.
FINDING ME fucked with me from the get go. And did not let up.
I forgot how much I loved Neva and my beautiful Logan. Angel too, I guess.
Their journey of self-discovery, healing, and love continues @ the jaw dropping cliffhanger from book one, FINDING YOU.
Neva discovers who is responsible for her abduction. It knocks her on her ass. She is an emotional mess. It is heart shattering. This sets in motion a whirlwind of life changing events for the crew. Logan is less alpha this time around but still sexy as hell…so very loyal, loveable, and selfless. I love him. Hmmm. I’m not sure what to say about Angel. He had a bad childhood and daddy issues. He is trying to resolve them. But all I want to scream at him is MAN THE FUCK UP, BUTTERCUP. Angel is kinda on my shit list this time around. When you read FM, you will see why he licks hairy, shit covered dingleberrries off a fat chicks� sweaty ass. Idk, maybe there is more to him???
I am warning your ass to be prepared. For reals.
You will cry. Hard. Ugly.
You will white knuckle your kindle in fits of “WTF� while having a mini-turrets outburst “dumbass~onenut~cockeater~fucktard~ regurgitated-cum guzzling cunt�
You will find yourself smiling and giggling in certain “sweet spots� ;)
You will have more angst than you can handle at times. Damn, it hurts sooooo good.
You will have your heart beaten, bruised and broken but beautifully mended by the last page.
5+ STARS
SK Hartley is an extremely talented author with a gift for incredible story telling. Her characters are full of depth & growth, her writing style kicks ass, and the story flows effortlessly.
FINDING ME has left me wanting MORE!
Needing more.

Book 3 in the The Bad Boy Series
August 29, 2014
After reading Finding You last year, I was anxiously waiting the sequel as it was left on a cliff-hanger. To say I was disappointed after months of waiting would be putting it lightly. looking back I can see that the first book also had the same mistakes as this one, but I was way to excited about the New Adult Genre to actually notice.
I feel really terrible for leaving behind a one star review therefore I will state my reasons in this review for why I have given it a one star. Throughout both books, Neva is whiney and acts like a victim who has had the worst kind of pain inflicted upon her. I get that her dad died and she feels guilty, and I may see insensitive for saying this but people have suffered worse. If the author wanted us to actually feel sorry for her than no offense she should have gone through something worse, personally speaking some people have had to witness people dying in front of them and have managed to continue life. So I don't understand why she thought she was to "broken" for Logan. It seems like a girl begging for attention to me. Even though the author may have not done it intentionally, that is what it came across as.
Furthermore, this book took me little over an hour to finish, that's how insubstantial it was. The book revolved around Neva and Logan running away from each other, this time he decided he wasn't good enough for her. They was no resolution between Neva and Angel, when he was a major character in the first book. And the secondary characters frankly did not interest me at all, it seemed that the boys in this book especially Neva's brother and his friends were trying too hard to seem cool, it was the way the author wrote them. They came across as idiotic and annoying, and the writing was not exactly the best either.
Books like these are the reason, why the New Adult genre is getting a lot of hate, if the authors didn't rush writing them or spend more time building their characters and world, then they would be much more better books available.

ARC provided.
Thank goodness this book is here. The cliffhanger was KILLER and I was lost. Well now all is better and I am so happy. Reading this book was not easy and I wanted to run and hide from my iPad. Sophie really did a great job with this book.
We pick up right where we left off and it does not stop there. I was having a hard time reading the hell that Neva was going through and I was not sure that things were going to be ok. Crap, I wanted to jump out of my skin. This was only 3% into the book. The first few chapters are so intense. Is he going to kill her? Is she going to kill him? Are Angel and Neva going to make it out alive? Well Read on to find out.
After all that Neva had been through, Logan is having a hard time at the hospital. He was so scared and worried that this would be Neva's breaking point. She is so messed up and Logan is trying to reach her and I am not sure that he can. I just don't understand how she has processed everything from the last 10 years and now she is dealing with this.
Then Logan........That little F*cker. He does somethning that really pissed me off. I was so mad at him. Then I got to thinking and I see it from his POV that he made the right choice. Really he did. I mean what more can you do? Eventually she has got to learn to help herself, heal, cope and find a way to happy and love herself. So I get it, I just don't like it.
Tate and Low are really the best friends anyone can ask for. They both love Logan and Neva so much and are really supportive. Let me just say that Low is a little firecracker. I loved her character so much in this book. The way she handled Logan was funny and scary at the same time.
Anyways, Neva has a lot of work to do and is angry with Logan and Angel. Does she get back with Angel? Does she get back together with Logan? I can't tell you that. You have got to read the book.

So this is another 2-in-1 book review where I review 2 books in the same series following the same characters. Both books follow the antics of Neva, Logan and Angel.
This is the second books series I'm reading in less than a few weeks apart that involve love triangles and the third one in less than a month. And they all seem to involve new adult characters between 18 to 25 years old. The spate of similar stories seems to indicate there's a kind of epidemic going on among our young adults. The eat-your-cake-and-have-it syndrome.
So you have Neva who suffers from post traumatic stress disorder because of the death of her father. Logan who is her brother's best friend has been in her life since forever and has taken on the role of her protector in her mind. Logan is a playboy and Neva doesn't really take an interest in him until things suddenly change between them
Along comes Angel who is all shades of sin and offers the kind of escapism Neva thinks she's looking for since he seems to be as damaged as she is. But two damaged people together can't be a good thing, right?
Well, if you read Finding You, you'll know it ends on a cliff-hanger and I'm not a big fan of those. Luckily I had Finding Me to dive into straight away and I'm glad I did.
The start of Finding Me just took my breath away and for several pages all I could do was read...read...read. Seriously. The journey back together for Logan and Neva was heart-wrenching at times. But I was glad when they finally got their happy ending.
Both books are enjoyable reads and I'm happy with the way the author wrote about PTSD sympathetically. Seriously, if you enjoy new adult romance, then you have to read this series. But perhaps buy two of them together instead of having to wait.

Well, if you read Finding You, you'll know it ends on a cliff-hanger and I'm not a big fan of those. Luckily I had Finding Me to dive into straight away and I'm glad I did.
The start of Finding Me just took my breath away and for several pages all I could do was read...read...read. Seriously. The journey back together for Logan and Neva was heart-wrenching at times. But I was glad when they finally got their happy ending.
Both books are enjoyable reads and I'm happy with the way the author wrote about PTSD sympathetically. Seriously, if you enjoy new adult romance, then you have to read this series. But perhaps buy two of them together instead of having to wait.

I didn't really enjoy the first book so I don't know why I read the follow-up. Probably because of the cliffhanger because it was really a huge surprise - Neva can't decide between Logan, her brother's best friend, a guy who majorly sleeps around but she has had a crush on for years, and Angel, a dark & dangerous boy she meets in music class. Neva chooses the wrong guy & Angel turns out to have been using her. I really feel for Angel in this book because his father traps Neva & she discovers all of the dark secrets of Angel's past. I don't think Angel had a lot of control of his situation with his father & it was too late to keep Neva away & I believe Angel really loved her. Logan loves Neva too but over the years she has leaned so heavily on him that he wants her to come to grips with what happened all on her own. What?? I can see his point, Neva does seem really needy, and maybe Logan needs her to stand on her own for once but also to prove that she loves Logan & doesn't just need him for support. I am a big advocate for therapy & it helps Neva immensely. There is just too much pushing away in this story - Logan & Neva love each other & are falling apart without each other. In the end, yes, both of them are stronger when they finally get together & it is super hot! Just an ok book.

I could not wait to read this book!
If you have not read "Finding You" you need to get on it, it is a heartbreaking love triangle then has this crazy ass twist at the end. The first part of this book is one ugly mess, but once again Logan swoops in and saves the day. Logan is the boy that has loved Neva for the past 10 years, holding her together and being there for her at every turn. Now Logan just recently told Neva he was in love with her, and from Neva's eyes Logan was your all American football playing man whore, even know he was her white knight. Neva decided she did not want to be that broken girl anymore, so she tried to become someone else and instead of giving her heart to Logan (which is where is belongs) she gave it to Angel. This turned out to be a grave mistake. As for Angel he does not get much play in this book, but even know what he did was unforgivable I can not help but feel sorry for him and hope that he heals and finds love. I honestly wanted to punch Neva mid way thru the book. She was thinking one thing, but when she came face to face with Logan she resisted and ran. Logan oh boy he is a hot mess that you just want to hug. Lucky for these two they have some good friends that force them to work things out once and for all- either be together or walk away for good. One hot sex scenes.
Fabulous ending.

At the end of Finding You Neva had finally made her choice between Logan & Angel.
Little did she know that it was to be a decision that would change her whole life. She literally walked into her worst nightmare and this book begins amidst that nightmare.
Logan is madly in love with her but has had to accept that she has chosen to be with Angel. Angel has completely fallen for her too but is caught up in his love for his mother and fear of his father.
Will she be able to escape this nightmare and if she does, who will save her? Is everything she believes a lie?
Even though Angel is kind of the baddy in the story, I felt so awful for him, he has a really sweet nature but is a victim of his Father's evilness and I really hope he finds his happiness eventually.
Neva frustrated me a lot in the first book because she seemed to flit from Logan to Angel and really screwed with Logan's head a lot. However, she is young and has left home for the first time and has Post Traumatic Stress Disorder after losing her father as a child.
She does grow a lot in this story and it's the people that truly love her and give her space to heal that finally gives her the peace she has needed so badly.

I really have no idea how to rate this book. I loved Finding You but this one was a huge let down. What the hell happened? I used to love everybody; Logan, Tate, Angel, Neva...but now? Everything changed. And It's not even the writing, it's the story that I have problems with.
I feel bad for writing this but I guess it just wasn't for me. I'm not satisfied with the ending...with how no one gave crap about Angel. I think I'm just gonna have to forget about this bad experience and keep in mind how much I loved the first book. Oh and I will read Angel's book. I hope it will be good. I need for him to be happy.

OMG!!! I waited a tortured few months for this book to see the next piece in the Angel-Neva-Logan triangle and damn did we get a resolution! What all three of them endure in this book to move forward from the pain of the past is just heart wrenching but necessary and the sacrifice Logan makes for Neva takes some kind of love most of us will never experience. I absolutely loved this book, tears and all. Must must must read- definitely worth all 5 of the stars it has been given. <3 Kellie

Have been eagerly awaiting the next instalment of the bad boys series after the HUGE cliffhanger at the end of book 1 and it didn't disappoint!!!
Didn't think it was possible to love Logan anymore then I did but I was wrong!!!
Although I found myself screaming at my kindle at times because didn't know how things were gonna pan out it was worth going through to get the end result!!!!
Am soooooooooooo looking forward to reading more in this series ( and hopefully more Logan!!! : ) )

Just what I needed after book 1. First chapter in and my heart was racing, by chapter 3 I was starting think I was going to emotionally combust. I don't want to say too much more to save from spoiling it but thank you for giving us more Neva & Logan. Bring on Tate & Low and I'd love to find out how the life of you know who pans out.
