Finding Him is like reading 3 stories in one...

Finding Him is a tale that is told in 3 parts: Julian, Keaton, and Noah's. I managed to hold onto my waterworks but just barely. Noah is the kind of person we all hope we can be when faced with the end of our lives too soon. Having witnessed the decline cancer causes, I can say RVD went easy on us. Its not about Noah's end though, but Keaton and Julian's beginning.

She found him, and like a fungal infection, she can't seem to get rid of him.

Keaton is torn between the world of social media and real life.
Julian is teting to be real for his new "life".
Both are struggling. This is their story.


I'm swooning like an overheated 18th century debutante. Know for all his flaws, Julian's heart and honesty are not counted correctly. People assume the worse and it's a shame. This beautifully damaged man is more than people give him credit for. Finding Him is Keaton's chance to love again. Its also Julian's chance to love right.


I enjoyed this journey. I was so worried- not the writing but my own hang ups. I think reading a teaser on Facebook gave me too much insight and I panicked. I have a hard time with terminal cancer books. I appreciate the way Rachel Van Dyken hit us with the feels with out killing us with the details of Noah's pain. I can't help but wonder about the cat though...lol. (Sometime you need to laugh so you won't cry.)

Finding Him may be the end of a series but clearly its just the beginning.

I can’t say enough amazing things about Rachel’s writing. The book is the 2nd in a series but can be read alone. I hated the main Hero from the first book and wasn’t sure he could redeem himself but boy did he! Rachel can make you love and hate a character all at the same time! It was a beautiful story of 2 people who were hurt and kind still muddle through.

This was such a great book, there were so many emotions to this great love story. Both characters came from rough pasts that they wanted to move on from and they were able to do that with each other.

Finding Him is the second book in this series and the story of the other twin brother, Julian. Although this could be read as a standalone, I'd suggest for you to read the first book since the characters and the story, pretty much connects with this book.

The story started with Julian post-coma that happened on book one. He was in for a lot of changes and it slowly changed him as a person. When he was forced by his brother to take a vacation to their family cabin, he didn't know that he will meet Keaton, a woman who, like him is dealing with loss.

Oh god! This book made me cry- as in rivers of tears with snot running through my nose-cry. There were a lot of emotional, heartbreaking scenes relating Keaton's past and how it affected her relationship with Julian. I never thought that Julian's story will be this angsty, but I should have known from the start that there is more to this man than his playboy/ jerk attitude.

The story will reaffirm your belief that it really is a small world and fate (or was it love?) moves in mysterious ways. It's a tale of healing- one agonizing step at a time; finding love when and where you least expect it and celebrating the beauty of life. I simply loved it and couldn't wait for more from the author!

Loved this book so much!! Anything Rachel Van Dyken writes instantly becomes my favorite. She gives me a "Book Hangover" every time!

Having fallen in love with the beginning of this story in Stealing Her, I wasn’t sure what to expect in Julian’s book. From what we first learned of him in book 1, I was very curious to see where RVD was going to take his story. This story pulled me in from the first sentence! His snarky attitude and persona that we first learned of from his family, friends, and now former fiancé, left me interested

In this sequel to Stealing Her, we explore Julian’s future as he begins to wrap his head around the events that have transpired since him falling into a coma and his fiancé falling for his twin brother. He escapes the routine of what was his life, to get some much-needed R&R at his family’s cabin in the woods. What he doesn’t expect is to find their cabin occupied by a very tempting Keaton. Keaton is escaping her own nightmares from her past, and as the two begin to peel the layers away and get down to the core of each other, it’s simply fascinating to watch. As Julian has been through a near death experience, he ventures down a path to discover a new side of himself and this side of him with Keaton is simply a sight to behold.

This was an amazing story from cover to cover and I’m so excited we got to see Julian redeem himself in a way I never anticipated!

Julian was such a different character from the first book and I love him for it. You get to see a completely different side to him and his emotions. Honestly you won't be able to not connect with him. Love changes a person and so does a broken heart. This book shows his journey on finding his true place in the world and embracing every amazing thing it has to offer. The book is truly amazing and the writing draws you in immediately. This is one series you need to get your hands on you won't be disappointed.

To give you an idea of how much this book wrecked me, I cried for the *first* time reading chapter two. Two! This was so well done and I was completely emotionally invested from the start. Julian and Keaton's relationship is amazing, but her relationship with Noah was also perfect, even though it ended tragically. The flashback stories with Noah are what really did me in. He was so perfect during those times and since he's gone, he'll always stay that way. Having Julian understand that and watch him struggle with his feelings for Keaton was rough yet beautiful.
This was well written and I couldn't get enough. I wish there was more!

I enjoyed this book and found it fast paced and an easy read. The characters were likeable and I liked how it was based on the theme of letting go and admitting the truth to yourself even if you don't always want to here it.

Made my little heart patter! I loved this story with so emotional yet not overdone. If you’re a crying have the tissues handy. I’m not and I still teared up a few times. This one is better than the first story about Julian’s twin, Bridge. The first story gave you insight to the before Julian who was not a nice guy. So glad that hit to the head did him good along with his mom’s influence. I love Keaton as the broken hearted social influencer living between her dead love and her future with the super sexy Julian. Girl, what’s there to think about? He’s so yummy and powerful and in the moment with you. I love the transformation of Julian from cold business mogul to a warm, loving human. He’s dealing with his grief also. The lost of his former life, his fiancé and then his mother. He’s a mess but he pushes it aside to be whatever Keaton needs. And he’s a sexy beast! His hotness was panty melting as he took the girl and made her his. There’s so much to love about this story. It’s more than just a romance between two exceptional hot people. There’s grief to overcome, hearts to heal, mending a relationship between brothers and finding a way past the pain to build a new life. It’s glorious when all the pieces fall into place. The only issue is with Julian’s physicality. In the last book he had so many injuries from his car wreck and there were scars on his face. I know a good plastic surgeon can work wonders but I still think there would gave been noticeable scars. Anyway, it’s still a beautiful love story and so worth the read! I voluntarily reviewed an ARC. 4.5 stars

Love a good redemption story and this one did not disappoint. It was great to see how this happily ever after played out. Sad to see the end of the duet.

I liked Covet #1 -- though there was plenty that made you suspend belief to go along -- and think Covet #2 is the better in this series. Likely because there had to be more in #1 to help set up #2. In #2, RVD was able to dive faster into Finding Him with Julian and Keaton.

Finding Him reminded me of Lauren Layne's Broken. It had that same kind of 2 lost souls finding each other story told from dual perspectives. Naturally, it's with a good looking guy who basically is jerky (but a goodie) because he feels so broken and a gal who is just so dang wholesome she's practically viewed as a saint (but also in need of fixing and it can only come from being with this guy). I realize these 2 are friends, so it's no surprise I read them both.

4 1/2 STARS

What a great book. It was a quick read with not much bullshit. There were a few times, my heart squeezed with sadness but it was well written. Can't wait to see what she has in stores next. Grab your copy. I enjoyed this series.

Unputdownable!!!!

My heart couldn’t handle the AMAZINGNESS of this story. Rachel completely hit it out of the park! Her books are always so good, but this one was brilliant. The story and how it goes full circle is exactly what is needed. Nothing was left out or wondered. The emotions that you felt, the content that was written about, was all fantastic and well thought out. I was waiting for this story adapter book 1 and it can be read as a complete standalone but OH, SO MUCH better read together!

This is a stand alone book but is so much better if you have read Stealing Her. Please read it you won’t be disappointed. As much as I was not a huge fan of Julian from the first book I loved him in this one. He started out as kind of a jerk but totally redeemed himself. Keaton I felt was stuck in the beginning of the story but her character grew so much throughout.

I read this book during a time of my life where I have so much going on so I feel like I didn’t get as much as I wanted out of it but plan on reading it again so I can enjoy it even more.

Julian and Keaton! I enjoyed this book so much but I have yet to not enjoy a Rachel Van Dyken book. Julian come out of his coma and life has changed. Due to his brother, Bridge, taking over the company why he was in a coma, the board makes him take a forced vacation. He goes to the family cabin and a blizzard hits where he finds a woman occupying his cabin. Now Keaton is here to write her book and she just wants to be alone. She is also here to grieve for her lost love. The emotional rollercoaster, the laughs, and finding love again brings this story together. Rachel has a unique way of bringing you in and keeping you there. A one-click buy for me and every book Rachel puts out. She is my top author for reading every genre she writes!

I never though I would love Julian, with how his character was painted. But in this one, he was so struggling, vulnerable, he felt lost and alone. This book is filled with so much emotion. There's like two greatest loves in this one! Your heart would just burst with feelings and emotions.

I'm still speechless, I don't know if I could form any words to describe this one! I'm still reeling in with the emotions from this book. This story was so beautifully sad, beautifully written, very raw and emotional

I really enjoyed this book!


I think I fell more for Julian in this book because if everything he’s been through.

After being separated from his mother and his twin brother Julian had to live a life that he really didn’t care for and because of that he lost everything and the accident didn’t help much either.


Being forced to take a much needed rest and some time to get his head on straight Julian’s world is about to take a turn and for him it may be the best thing ever!

Keaton’s life, well let’s just say this girl fell in love only for her to lose the love. Now she is on a mission to fulfill a loved one’s wish but Keaton’s heart cant seem to move on, until she goes to the cabin for some much needed alone time.

When she sees him and he sees her “oh boy”. The connection between these two and how they both need each other is simply amazing! These two bring out the best in each other and it’s exactly what they need.

I loved it from the moment she fought the elk. Lol

4.5 emotionally heart-wrenching stars

After reading Stealing Her the first book in this series I was quite intrigued by Julian and to me RVD honestly outdid herself with his story. Once I started this one I was completely hooked. It was so raw and emotional, honestly I read the most of the book through tears. The emotions she portrayed into this one was immense, heart and soul.

Our opinion of Julian changed throughout the first book as we got to know him, despite him being in a coma. In this one he's a broken man. He has woken to find his whole world tipped upside down and his fiancée is now with his estranged twin brother. He is struggling to deal with everything, he feels broken and is throwing himself into his work until his brother and the board force him to take a vacation.

Heading to his family cabin in the middle of nowhere he never expected to find someone else there in the shape of the hot and broken Keaton. She's grieving the loss of her boyfriend from Cancer and has promised to write his story.

Keaton is the complete opposite of Julian. Whereas he's the town playboy with a bad reputation thanks to his dads smear campaign, Keaton is the nations sweetheart and everyone loved her romance.

Stuck in the isolated cabin together Julian offers to help her write her story. This lead to them developing a connection between them that was raw, emotional and so much more then either ever thought it would be.

My heart honestly broke for both of them. Julian is desperate for someone to chose him, see the real him, love HIM whereas Keaton is struggling with the guilt over her feelings for Julian.

Can they both find their Forever Love the second time around.

Julian Tennyson has been through so much in the last few months, being in a coma, losing his fiancé to his twin brother and the loss of his mother. Now after being forced to take a leave of absence from his work, some rest and relaxation at his family secluded cabin is where he will find it...or will he? Keaton Westbrook, has mad a promise to her dead fiancé that she would write their story, and what better place to do it then in the cabin they always wanted to rent; the one thing that isn’t in Keaton’s plan is the unexpected visitor in for form of Julian Tennyson. Throw in a massive snow storm, and some electrifying chemistry and you the perfect recipe for Finding Him. This book was beautifully written, it has everything you want, it was funny, emotional (yes you will need Kleenex) and of course off the charts romance! An excellent read!
