Book Blurb
Sometimes you have to lose yourself to find where you truly belong...
Most girls would kill to spend months traveling around Europe after college graduation with no responsibility, no parents, and no-limit credit cards. Kelsey Summers is no exception. She's having the time of her life . . . or that's what she keeps telling herself.
It's a lonely business trying to find out who you are, especially when you're afraid you won't like what you discover. No amount of drinking or dancing can chase away Kelsey's loneliness, but maybe Jackson Hunt can. After a few chance meetings, he convinces her to take a journey of adventure instead of alcohol. With each new city and experience, Kelsey's mind becomes a little clearer and her heart a little less hers. Jackson helps her unravel her own dreams and desires. But the more she learns about herself, the more Kelsey realizes how little she knows about Jackson.
Toot's Review
Wow, so I just finished Finding it by Cora Carmack and I must say, I totally dug this book! I've read the other 2 books in the series and kinda thought I was getting more of the same but boy was I right and pleasantly wrong. Yep it's a CR/NA book, so you figure it's the same old, boy meets girl, boy falls for girl, boy looses girl, boy wins her back stuff....all with cute, sexy, young people.....total bubblegum for the brain. And yes, this is up that same alley but with a wonderful twist. So let me give you a synopsis before I tell you what's what.
So our heroine is Kelsey Summers. She's a total modern day spoiled, pampered, rich American girl. She has it all except parents whom truly love her. She's always been treated more as property then like a daughter. She acts and does all the things her powerful parents could ask for in a daughter in the social eye. They parade her out like a special doll, then put her away when the spotlight is gone. As she's gotten older, she realizes that there has to be more to life. She doesn't like being a shallow, self-centered person and wants to change. She's not sure how to do that but decides to "find herself" by going on the ultimate European vacation. As she treks around the country "finding herself", she finds herself falling into the same habits she did in the States and spirals into a deeper depression of self loathing. One night, while partying it up, she hears laughter. When she looks up, she sees a gorgeous military style guy laughing his butt off. She tries to ignore him but then realizes, he's laughing at her!
Guess what all?? I'm totally gonna stop the synopsis there......*evil cackle*. Ok I'll give you a little more. The laughing guy is the Hero, Jackson Hunt and yes, they end up traveling together acrossed the globe. Now that's all you get!!!
Why am I torturing you. Well first, this isn't rocket science, it's an NA novel. Yep they get together and yes there's a HEA but what I don't want you to know is the twist in the story. I actually guessed it right away but that doesn't mean I want you to know about it. Just know, it's a nice twist.
What I loved also about the story is the wonderfully vivid pictures that Cora Carmack paints as the two travel the globe. You really get a wonderful sense of the beautiful places the two visit all while they smolder with sexual tension and smoldering heat. I FREAKIN' LOVED THIS BOOK! I also really loved the ending because it's not typical or what you expect to happen. Basically the book takes the reader on a journey of self discovery while taking you around the globe to some breathtaking places and then wraps you up in a HEA.
What more do you want??
