Prepare yourself to be completely owned once again by a Tennyson brother.
I didn't think I could love anyone more than I loved Bridge in Stealing Her (Covet, #1) but boy did RVD give it all to me when she gave me Julian and Keaton's story. My God, my heart could not survive another Tennyson so thank goodness there is just the two of them.

"Our pain collided with that kiss. And like setting fire to gasoline. We were ignited whole"

Julian has woken from a coma to find his world turned completely upside down. He's definitely not the man he was before. Not only has the accident changed him but his grief, a grief that he doesn't know if he can ever come back from. This is not something he can beat alone but who would ever want him when sometimes it's hard for him to reconcile the man he was before.

"Because it was him. Because he made me laugh. Because he made me feel safe and alive."

Keaton was always in the limelight because of her celeb parents and also because of her own social media status. She was trying to deal with her loss, the grief of losing her first love and trying to write their story for the masses. How would she ever get the story done on her own when the weight of the grief was just too much to bear alone.

"Julian had no idea, did he? That as he was writing the end of Noah's story- he was writing the beginning of ours."

These are two people who know deep down they've found something special, they've found someone who gets them , gets their grief and their story. But can they get through it all to find at the end they are just beginning.

**Received ARC through NetGalley. Voluntarily reviewed.**

This book (like all this authors stories), has heart, wonderful characters and an interesting plot. I enjoyed most of the story and found it entertaining. This is a really sad story wrapped around romance but I did have trouble connecting to the characters. I enjoyed the plot and think the author did an amazing job of getting these characters through their angst. I simply didn’t care for either of them. There are steamy scenes and romance within the heart and pain so the author did a nice job of balancing out that sadness.

I read and loved Stealing Her and think that this story is a great complement to that read. It wraps up the “other side” of the brother’s story and I really enjoyed that aspect. I think if I had read these together, back to back, then I would have liked this story more. I do recommend this story to readers as I think others will very much enjoy the story. I received an ARC via NetGalley and I am leaving my honest review.

I loved it. I'm so glad Julian got his redemption and a happy ending, too. These characters are great and the emotion is always so well written. I cried!

I devoured this book within 24 hours, but it will stay with me a bit longer.

I loved this story of grief, pain, angst and “forbidden” love.
Max and Keaton were great together from the beginning. I cried for Noah and then for Max. It reminded me how life can change from one moment to the next.

I’m so glad that I was able to read this story that RvD kept teasing us with!
Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for this ebook copy in exchange for an honest review.

I was immediately hooked by this book based on the cover, it's so beautiful!

I was hesitant going into it as it's the second book in a duology, but based on reviews you didn't need to read the first book to understand the second - which I can agree with.
Obviously there was some character development from the first book that I missed, but a lot of that is the development of the main male character who was in a coma, but I imagine you understand his personality more if you read book 1.

Anyway, moving on from that.
This story started out alright, right up until the two characters meet and I felt it became very, very unrealistic. Shortly after they meet, things progress, events happen and I just felt everything was forced and unnatural.

Once the two characters leave the cabin, they progress their relationship and I think I was at a point that I didn't really care for them. I was upset because I really wanted to like this, it had the care free feeling that I've been enjoying in other books recently, but I really didn't feel a realistic connection between the two MC. I felt that Julian was an asshole through the through, there were literally no redeeming qualities about him aside from the fact he was willing to write the novel for Keaton because she was unable to (due to events that I don't think were his fault but we were forced to believe were his fault).

Keaton was very shallow and wasn't fleshed out, she had issues dealing with the death of her ex-boyfriend (fiancee? idk) but it really wasn't explored in detail and I couldn't get behind how she was really feeling. I couldn't feel sad for her and I couldn't root for her because there was a lack of development there.

Finally, I really don't think that the authors writing style is for me, which definitely helped push my dislike for this. I can totally see how people would enjoy this, but the characters and writing style wasn't for me - that's if I ignore the actual plot which I think was crazy.

Finding Him picks up where Stealing Her ended. Julian is awake from his coma and still trying to get to grips with the new reality: basically nobody missed him since Bridge stepped into his footsteps. Including Izzy, his fiancee, now wife of his brother. So, Julian is having a hard time and he decides to take a time out in his secluded family cabin up in the mountains.
He didn't expect to find the cabin rented out to a stubborn female, who wants nothing to do with him. Keaton Westbrook needed to get away from everything and everyone. She needs time to fulfill her promise to Noah: to write their story. But putting their story to paper will also make his story so final. Because Noah is dead.
So, she is not in the mood for the handsome stranger who wants her to leave his cabin. And while it is refreshing to have a guy not drooling over her, she doesn't need the company.
Julian is used to getting his way. But when Keaton isn't budging on leaving, he feels she is a spoiled princess. However, when he finds out her real reason for her need of solitude, he realizes he can't make her leave. Instead her proposed to help her write the book. And during this process both of them learn a lot about each other and about themselves. A wonderful, tragic, gripping and heartwarming story. About love, second chances, family and tragedy. Five out of five stars from me and a special thank you to Netgalley for providing the arc.

Grab the tissues! I knew going into this book it was going to be special. This book dealt with promise, love, betrayal, healing, heartache and death. It was packed with so much emotion. Julian was so angry with betrayal and loss. He had woke up from a coma to find out that his entire life has changed. He was able to reconnect with his mom, only to loose her shortly after. He was so alone! His twin brother, Bridge told him he needed to take a much needed vacation to get his head together. So, he took off for the family cabin. However, it was not empty!

Keaton had just lost the love of her life and had made a promise to Noah that she would tell their story by writing a book. She needed to have peace and quite to deal with her grief and to be able to write the words down. But that peace and quiet didn’t last long. Julian showed up and stirred everything up!

Julian and Keaton tried to fight the attraction they had for one another. But Julian was not the same man he was before his coma. He was really trying to be a better man. And Keaton was so sad. The loneliness these two shared bloomed into more.

Their stay at the cabin was cut short when Keaton was injured. So they ended up back in the city. They ached for one another, but didn’t have a way to reach one another. When they do meet up, they pretty much became inseparable. Julian helped with the book, while Keaton helped fill Julian with hope.

Can these two make it together? Or is Keaton always going to have her heart with another? Will Julian remember to be this new reformed man he is becoming and not resort back to his playboy ways? These two help one another in ways they never thought possible.

Rachel wrote another fantastic book and it is a most definite read!! But make sure you read Stealing Her first!

Julian Tennyson woke up from a coma to find that his life was drastically different. Keaton Westbrook lost her first love and is struggling to write a book about it. When Julian gets to his family’s cabin and finds Keaton there, what will happen when they both let their guard down?

This book was another emotional roller coaster written by Rachel Van Dyken. She takes your heart and rips it out repeatedly throughout the book while, at the same time, mending it back together. Finding Him is a story about forgiveness, finding love and losing love.

Another great book by Rachel Van Dyken!

OMG! All the feels with this book! Find Him is book 2 and Julian and Keaton's story is heartbreaking and beautiful. I didn't think I could like this book more than Bridge and Izzy but it is so good! I loved how they met and what Julian does to help Keaton move on. Must read!

3.5 stars.
This one did not knock my socks off like the first story. It was still very sweet and had a great story line, but I didn't love it til the end. Not when it was over, just how it all wrapped up.
It could be because I didn't obviously love Julian in the first one and he kind of has to win you over in this book. His past isn't the prettiest. He has a lot to make up for in his own eyes.
Keaton is just getting over a love that didn't last long enough. I liked her character, but I wasn't into the book writing part of this story. That's kind of the whole thing.

Julian and Keaton are not what I expected at all! Keaton, who is coming off of a tragic loss and Julian, who in his own right just suffered a devastating loss are both tempted by fate when a blizzard strands the two in a cabin. The two of them working through their grief is a beautiful thing when they do it together.

I really enjoyed the story, it just felt so intimate to me. The moments of grief, of love and the ones of closure, just brought Julian and Keaton so much closer together and I just could not put it down!

Oh my me.  This story, this duet of books is going to give you all the feels.

This is Julian's story.  Waking up from a coma to find his whole world has changed.  To see and learn things so upheaving and mind-blowing that he is struggling to cope.

Now I will admit, I was a bit leery going into this story.  The first book in this series,  Stealing Her, had painted Julian in a twisted color.  He seemed arrogant and selfish and almost unredeemable.  

But a true testament to the talent and magic of Ms. Van Dkyen's writing and storytelling skills was this story, Finding Him. Because that is what this story is about.  Seeing and finding the real Julian.  And that's what Keaton did, she found the man, the beautiful soul behind all the drama and negativity.

Keaton is suffering too, she has had one of the most tragic losses anyone can face. Unfortunately being in the spotlight the way she has been all her life can create a whole new set of problems on how to proceed with tragedy and loss.

I absolutely loved this story, I cried, I laughed and I also cheered hard for Julain! Bravo sir for standing up for what your heart wanted and for not taking just "enough" but for demanding it all!

"When someone dies we don’t lose that love, we just make room for more"

After reading Stealing Her I wasn't the biggest fan of Julian. I get that he was hurt after what happened with his twin and his fiancé but he came across as a bit of an arse. Oh how my opinion has changed. Julian and Keaton are both running from hurt looking for a place of solitude to process their separate issues. Julian is dealing with losing his mum and the betrayal of his twin. Keaton is suffering from a broken heart after losing the love of her life to cancer and trying to write their story for the world to see. The two strangers weren't expecting to end up snowed in at Julian cabin. Julian does what he always does and tries to throw money at Keaton to get her to leave so he can have the cabin to herself but she isn't having any of it. After he is quite brash with her and she gets frostbite on her hands he offers a peace offering and helps her write the story of her love for Noah whilst slowly finding he's falling for her.
This story was so beautifully sad. Reading Keaton's recount of her time with Noah was painful to read and i cried so many times during this book especially when it was time to let go. Seeing the pair piece themselves and each other back together was equally emotional I dread to think how many tissues I went through whilst reading this book. A lovely story and beautifully written, very raw and emotional

This is another terrific story by Rachel Van Dyken. This is the second book in the series. The hero is in this book was mentioned in the first book but he wasn't very likable there. However, in this book, he is more fleshed out and we get to know him a lot more. The heroine is terrific as with all Rachel Van Dyken heroines. She is smart and resilient. I love how the heroine and hero balance each other out.

Great story!

What an amazing book!!!!

When I realized this book was going to be about the evil twin, I wasn’t really sure I was going to enjoy it, as I am a sucker for the good guy or under dog, but as with most things in life, I decided to give it a shot, and let me tell you, I was not disappointed!

This book will take you through the ups and downs that everyone loves in a story and ultimately will show you that even the “evil” we see may just really be a misunderstood man, seeking love and belonging!

I voluntarily read and reviewed an ARC of this book. This is the second book in the series. You don't have to read the first book but I would highly recommend it in order to understand Julian's full story.
Keaton is America's sweetheart and has just been through one of the most public and tragic events. She promised him she would right their story but she can't because she knows she will have to eventually write "the end". She hopes going to the place he dreamed off will help her.
Julian has been ordered by the board to take a mandatory vacation. His mother's death has been harder on him than he thought. So he runs to the place where her memories are the strongest. What he doesn't expect is to run straight into a woman holding a knife threatening him.
This book was so good. I absolutely loved it. I made me cry and also made me laugh. Get those tissues ready and be prepared to fall in love with Julian. 5+⭐

I loved this book more than book one and I didn’t think I would. I disliked Julian in book one but fell in love with him in book two. I loved Keaton and Julian together. This book had a lot of crying moments for me, have tissues ready. Thank you Rachel Van Dyken for all the feels. I received this book free from Net Galley for my honest opinion.

Emotionally, this was a HARD one for me to get through. Having just lost my own husband nearly a year ago (in fact, this book is being released on the one year anniversary of his death), and being in the process of writing my own story of our journey - Finding Him hit far too close to home for me. Keaton could have been me.

It was easy to understand her grief, her guilt, her anger. The funny thing about being able to so closely relate to her? I was also able to be both somewhat angry with her for moving on while at the same time being angry that she was putting so much stock in what other people thought about HER life. Seriously, the way her fans were written was very over the top and hostile - freaking out when she posted a simple photo of herself and called it moving on. Sadly? Keyboard warriors and Internet trolls are very much like that.

Complicated doesn't begin to cover this story. These are two very different people who have been broken in very different ways. Unfortunately, given the ways that they were broken, I feel like the majority of this story is very depressing, and that is not an emotion I want to feel when reading a book. I wish we could have seen more of them without the grief hanging over their heads. Sure, we get a glimpse of their future at the very end, but it wasn't nearly enough to make their romance believable.


***SPOILER ALERT***
I was definitely not a fan of the author using pregnancy to make Keaton realize that she was "in love" with Julian after knowing him what a month at best? No, what she is is grieving, and rebounding and that means any future relationships are going to take time. Yes, I believe these two had a certain kind of chemistry between them, but I'm not convinced that they would have lasted based on what we got to see of them.
***END SPOILER***

Overall, I have no doubt that people will enjoy this novel. And maybe once my own wounds have healed more, I will come back and give this a second read and write an updated review. I would, however, read more from this author.

DISCLAIMER: I received a complimentary copy of this novel in exchange for my honest review. This has not affected my review in any way. All thoughts and opinions expressed in this review are 100% my own.

Finding Him is the second book in the Covet series by Rachel Van Dyken and it currently scheduled for release on February 25 2020. . I think each book does stand fine on its own, however those that read the series in order will get more from the larger story arc than those reading them separately.

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?

Finding Him is a contemporary romance with two emotionally wounded souls finding each other, and healing in the process. Julian is coming to terms with his own mistakes and trying to find a new normal after waking up from a coma and then losing his mother. Forced to take a vacation he is not thrilled to find someone else in the cabin where he expected to find solitude. Some entertaining conversation and attraction aside neither is really looking for intimacy, a relationship, or anything else. However, their wounded edges seem to fit together perfectly- and they find healing while dealing with their individual scars. While some of the trauma they face may seem a little over the top (comas, twins, and paparazzi) I think the individual characters and their pain is thought out and well written. The over the top nature just made the one on one conversations and realizations more poignant and meaningful to me as a reader. It was a great weekend read to escape the real world but still suffer from some serious feels.

Finding Him is a roller coaster ride of feels, and is worth the ride.

I'm honestly really lost for words and it took me a while to figure out what I want to say to do this book justice!
You can tell by the words written how much heart and soul the author put into the story!
There was many a moment I felt so many emotions go through me and quite a few where I was reading with tears in my eyes!
We learn about Julian in Stealing Him, the first book in this series! I really think he has redeemed himself in this book!
Can a person change after something life threatening happens?
Keaton was a woman that I just wanted to give a big hug to. She was lost, trying to live but not quite there yet. Can opening up about things that happened really help her see her worth?I loved how they both brought out complex sides of each other! Learning, talking and helping each other, will there be hope for them both?
I loved every aspect of this book! It touched my heart something big and some of the words were inspirational!Definitely a must read!
