Finding Him is the second book in Rachel Van Dyken's Covet series and is the first book I've read by her. It's the story of Julian and Keaton and the struggle to accept a relationship with each other. Julian is a wealthy bachelor who recently woke up from a month long coma to find that his fiancée has fallen in love with his twin brother, on top of that he is also still dealing with his mother's death. He decides with some pressure from his brother to retreat to his families cabin where he finds Keaton already staying there much to his anger. Keaton is a media figure who lost her first love a year ago to cancer and is escaping to the cabin to write a story about their love. Both of them trying to escape but they find each other. A beautiful romance novel that I enjoyed from start to finish.

I truly enjoyed the second book in the Covet series by Rachel Van Dyken. In book one, Julian was made out to be an insensitive, greedy, selfish man who cared about one thing - himself. In this book, we get to meet the real Julian, and see that perhaps he isn't so bad after all. After waking up from a coma, Julian realized that he was no longer in a position to make all the decisions. His brother Bridge, along with the support of the board, forces him to get away to find himself again. It's at this point, upon confusion and a misunderstanding, that Julian meets Keaton, a woman who, like Julian, needs to find herself. This unlikely duo settle down after butting heads, realizing they have more in common than initially thought. The emotion that Rachel Van Dyken is able to portray through her writing makes this yet again, a book I just couldn't put down. I can't wait to see what else she has in store for her readers!

Finding Him by RVD was definitely a favorite. I loved every minute of it. I loved the sweet swoon of Julian. I love the heartbreaking story within a story. My heart bled for Keaton and the horrendous heartbreak she had to face of losing her first love. I devoured it like a warm chocolate chip cookie! ;)

“I, Julian Tennyson, had a fucking crush.”

RVD shows she’s not just a mafia queen, but she pulls all the stops when writing this emotional and heartwarming tale of finding the one when you least expect it. Cue tears, Jesus I tell you RVD didn’t hold back. I was captivated and couldn’t put the book down even when I had tears streaming down my face. Honest moment, Julian blew Bridge right out the water. Talk about a favorite twin.

“Because . . .” He sighed and wrapped an arm around me, pulling me close. “When I touch you, I don’t feel so alone.”

All in all, this was an amazing read. I love the writing. I love the characters. I enjoyed the drama so much. My heart was ripped out my chest at parts and healed at the end. RVD has always been a favorite author and very rarely does she disappoint.

This was my first Rachel Van Dyken book and it was wonderful! I am now tempted to go back and read the first book in the Covet series.

Now you do not HAVE to read the first book to enjoy this one, but I’m sure it probably gives the characters more of a background. Van Dyken still did a fantastic job of giving you enough history to enjoy her characters in this book.

Keaton and Julian are the MCs and they were both likable and understandable leaders. The circumstances in which they are thrown together are sad, but the strength is delicious. It almost gives the reader strength for themselves. The dialogue is well written and it was not cheesy like other romance books can be.

I enjoyed this book so much that I think I will add Rachel Van Dyken to my favorite authors list now!!
This is definitely a book I would recommend to other romance readers.

“I knew, clear as day. My job was to help her. And maybe, just maybe, by doing that, I would earn a bit of myself back. If I stopped her hurt—maybe I’d stop bleeding.”

This book has soooo many emotions intertwined throughout...loss, heartache, redemption, closure, healing, anger, jealousy, love, humor, forgiveness, guilt...get ready for your heart to get tugged at.

“I didn’t let people get close to me for a reason; I was afraid to trust them with things that mattered. And there were things, so many things. Things I hadn’t even admitted to myself.”

As you are devouring the pages you will feel like you have actually lived through the feel goods, heartache, new beginnings, closing chapters, finding self worth, seeing past the facade, pursuing dreams, finding self-worth, illness, living, grieving and a struggle to find a happily ever after.

“..you fight for love because the minute you have a taste of it, you realize why wars are fought in honor of it. It’s the most precious thing in the world, and it’s worth waiting for . . . and fighting for.”

Keaton Westbrook is a social media superstar struggling with her own private grief of losing her boyfriend to cancer. Julian just woke up from a coma and found out his estranged twin brother Bridge had basically replaced him in life and even taken his fiancée. Well that would be a lot for anyone he also recently lost his mom.

This book was hard for me to read. I just lost my mom this year from cancer. It's still a grieving process for me and I liked that it showed Julian and Keaton going through their own grief. It showed how hard it is to move on after losing someone, how sometimes anger is easier than showing how sad you are and that even though someone died those that are left behind still have to move on and live their lives. How much of an impact it is losing your mom.

I liked how the relationship between Keaton and Julian was slower than the last few relationships Rachel has written. I love that they bonded over their grief and let it heal them together. I loved the witty banter between the two and just how realistic this book was. When I read the first book I felt bad for Julian so I am glad he got his own book. He deserved it. Overall, this book hurt me and healed me while reading it.

I loved LOVED Stealing her, it was a perfect contemporary romance read that had me so engrossed I had to read in one go. I knew Finding him would have to be amazing to live up to my expectation.

It wasn't as good as the first book BUT it was still a great read full of angst and romance in it.
Rachel's writing is, as usual, amazing and the dialogue is brilliant.
Julian is amazing, ah Julian, he was so wonderful and thoughtful and just so, so... perfect which made me a bit angry at Keaton even though I somewhat understood her reluctance.
Either way, it was still a 4 star book and I totally recommend it.
Can be read as part of the series or as a stand alone. Although would definitely recommend reading Stealing her first.

Finding Him takes place four months after Stealing Her, which is four months after Julian wakes up from his coma to find his world has completely changed. He is still trying to deal with this new change and the grief of losing his mom when his company forces him to take a three-week vacation. He decided to visit his old family cabin where he had a lot of great memories with his mom.


Keaton Westbrook is the daughter of A-list celebrities. She is known for being the girlfriend of a regular guy with cancer. Noah, her boyfriend, passed away earlier in the year, and she is determined to complete Noah’s dying wish: to tell their story. She rented a cabin for thirty days to get away from the world so she could grieve and write their story. 


Julian and Keaton find themselves in the same cabin, and when a storm comes in, they are forced to spend the night together. They end up opening up to each other, and Julian helps Keaton write her story, falling in love along the way; however, he doesn’t think he can compete with Noah and Keaton doesn’t want her reputation tarnished by being seen with a playboy.


I loved this story more than I thought I would. It was definitely a lot better than the first book in the series. I enjoyed Julian and Keaton together, and I loved how they were both struggling with grief, and could understand what the other person was going through. I thought the author did a great job writing this story and writing from the characters' perspectives. I liked that every chapter alternated between Julian and Keaton. It was nice seeing how Julian completely changed as a person while he was with Keaton. Instead of being angry that his life was taken from him while he was in a coma, he was finally happy. 


I did find the book predictable, but that didn’t stop me from loving it. I would recommend this series if you enjoy contemporary romances about millionaires/billionaires. There was some things in the book that did not seem accurate; however, it is a huge spoiler, so I will not say exactly what it was. Besides that, I really enjoyed the book and could not put it down. I will definitely be reading more books by this author, even though I don’t typically read a lot of books from their genre. (I normally read New Adult and Young Adult).

This BOOK!!!! I cried. I do not cry. Ugh, it was just so good and it hurt my heart! There was just so much emotion with these characters. I absolutely loved every word!

After reading and loving the first book, I was so excited to get my hands on Finding Him! I needed to know what happens with Julian! I was NOT disappointed! This book is sexy and tons of fun! It also has a lot of heart and sweet moments. I wasn't sure about Keaton at first but I loved her! Her story brought heart to this book. It made her connection with Julian feel more real and vulnerable.

What a shocker... i liked it... very, very much.

I have to say that whenever i see a new book of Rachel van Dyken my finger automatically finds the "buy now" - button ^^ *wavesalittlefangirlflag*

So after reading "Stealing her", the first installement in this series, i had to also have "Finding him".
And it was even better than the first one.

The story between Julian and Keaton, their tragic past, the dark side of the media and how the together overcome their fear and guilt was really beautiful. Sure the ending is a little bit on the fairytale side (therefore "only" 4 stars), but hey who doesn't need some fairy dust?

Thanks Rachel (and keep on hitting the keys *flagwavingagain*^^)

Wow, this book was so much more that I could have imagined! I was so excited to finally read it, and it did not disappoint! It was beautiful, and heartbreaking and just gave me a lot of feels!
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own

I've been impatiently waiting for Julian's story since I finished Stealing Her. I have to admit that I had a bit of a bad taste in my mouth when it came Julian's ultimate betrayal. It just didn't sit well with me, even in the name of love, it was tough for me to get through his brother's book. And that just fueled my need to have his story.

Where do I even begin? I never craved someone's happily ever after until I met Julian Tennyson. We get to know quite a bit about him from the first book in the Covet series, Stealing Her. And my goodness, my heart was completely broken for him. A man who was in a coma and come to realize that he needed to become a better person and to not be like his father. And then he wakes up and everything he was ready to face, completely shattered him. My heart could not handle it.

His path towards healing was absolutely everything that I needed and more. Being stuck in a cabin with Keaton was the best thing that could have ever happened to him. Maybe the best thing that could have happened to the both of them. Both very broken and dealing with their grief.

RVD really brought out all the stops for this one and it comes out entirely through her words. The pain, the grief and the absolute heartache. I felt every bit of it down to my soul. And I could not tell you the amount of times I had to take a break to have a little cry sesh.

Such a beautifully written story that I simply couldn't get enough of. Finding Him definitely makes my top favorite for 2020.

I wait for Julian story and is worth it. Keaton is a sweetheart Hollywood daughter, julian is a billionaire bachelor in the city, with a broken heart. They meet in a cabin in the woods, a stormy night bring them together and that's how their story begins.
I enjoy reading this book and recommend it. I cry and laugh with Keaton and Julian. Also enjoy the interactions with Izzy and Bridge.

2.5 Stars

Julian Tennyson woke up from a coma to discover that his twin brother was now engaged to his fiancee and they were expecting a baby together. To add insult to injury, then his beloved mother passed away. Julian has to get away, so he heads for his family's isolated cabin hoping for some time to himself...only to discover someone else is there, too. Keaton Westbrook is a social media darling thanks to the fact that her parents are famous actors, and the world watched her fall in love with a cancer patient in the hospital where she was volunteering. She needs some time to herself, too, to keep her final promise to Noah and write down their story. She didn't count on a spoiled, cocky rich guy ruining her escape to the isolated cabin she and Noah had picked off a rental site as perfect for the honeymoon they never got to take. So now Julia and Keaton are stuck together in the cabin in a blizzard with no cell reception, and they're both pretty upset about it. Until they kind of get to know each other a little and realize the other person isn't nearly as bad as they first thought and might just become someone they can't live without.

I read the first book in this series. I was pleasantly surprised at what a good story it was and how sympathetic the characters were despite doing things that were a little hard to defend (like stealing your brother's fiancee while he's in a coma). I'm disappointed to say that for me, this one didn't love up to the promise of Stealing Her. First of all, it could benefit from a few more rounds of editing (which are most likely still to come since what I read was an ARC) to check for continuity. During their time in the cabin, the timeline was very disjointed and it was hard to tell what was happening when. Second, and this is a SPOILER, I personally found it a little too manipulative (not to mention repetitive since it happens in the first book, too) that the heroine winds up pregnant and that's a big factor in the two characters realizing their "forever-love" for each other.

I will say that the second half of the book was far stronger than the first (which is why I gave it an extra half star back), so the finished product might end up as a much better Book #2 than what I read. I do enjoy a lot of the story ideas this author comes up with, so I'll keep checking out her books.

**Thank you to NetGalley for the ARC in exchange for my honest review.**

Coming out of a coma was one hell of a wake-up call. While I was in the dark, my estranged twin brother, Bridge, had replaced me in the company I owned and swept up my fiancée in the takeover. With my ruthless reputation, can I blame them for falling in love? I have to look long and hard at where I’ve been and where I’m headed. Alone time? The universe has other plans.

Our family’s secluded Vermont cabin comes with a gorgeous—if at first, unwelcoming—surprise. She’s renter Keaton Westbrook, a social media superstar struggling with her own private grief. As a winter storm bears down, we’ve found something to keep us warm—an intimacy neither of us expected and both of us need.

After we say goodbye, what happens then? Keaton and I are longing to reconcile with our painful pasts. I can’t bear to do it without her. Is it too much to ask of fate to give us a second chance at life and love?

After reading the first book in the Covet series, Stealing Her, I wasn’t really sure I wanted to read Julian’s story. However, while I liked Stealing Her, I absolutely loved Finding Him!!! Once I started reading this book, I didn’t stop until I had finished because I was so wrapped up in the story.

When we last saw Julian, he had just awoken from a coma to find that his twin brother was marrying his fiancé and had taken his place in the family company. He did reunite with his mom, but she dies shortly after and he’s struggling with his grief. Bridge suggests a trip to their family cabin so Julian to could try to get peace and heal.

Keaton Westbrooke is dealing with grief of her own. She was a social influencer who had fallen in love with a cancer patient, Noah and she was supposed to be writing their story. She rented the Tennyhill cabin because that’s where Noah had always wanted to visit. When Julian shows up, they hate each other immediately, but after being forced to spend time together at the cabin due to a blizzard, feelings begin to change and Julian offers to help Keaton write her book.

This was truly a redemption story for Julian. You began to understand his actions in Stealing Her and you could see why he was so broken. When he began helping Keaton write her story, he found his peace and was able to grieve his mom and rediscover his true self. The Julian that was revealed was swoonworthy

Writing the book helped Keaton grieve Noah and come to terms with his death, but she was still afraid of what people thought about her. I loved watching her evolve and become stronger. I’ll admit I was also frustrated with her at times as well.

Finding Him was a wonderful story of redemption and two people coming together despite their grief. The story comes full circle and the ending was perfection. I highly recommend this book.

Wow. This book. I definitely had tears in my eyes when I finished Finding Him at midnight (hence the coffee). The real, raw emotion was spot on. I think I liked it even more than the first book. I loved the continuation of the story from book one but with a new focus on Julian. I loved the relationship between Julian and Keaton and how it progressed. I am a sucker for an epilogue and this one perfectly encapsulated both books and relationships.

Another great one from Rachel Van Dyken, I couldn’t put this one down. I wasn’t sure how I was going to feel about Julian but the story made you fall in love with him. Him and Keaton made an adorable couple. I think I loved it more than the first
