About this listen
I've always been lost . . .
Abandoned by a father who didn't want me. Cherished by a stepfather, though I wasn't his. Shattered by a boy who swore he loved me. But I belonged nowhere, to no one. Then I met Owen, the sweet-talking hockey player who made me love him. He gave me the courage to trust in someone besides myself. He showed me a love I longed for. When an unwanted ghost comes knocking on my door, my heartbreaking history threatens to repeat itself. But where do I turn if I lose everyone? And how do I find where I belong, when I'm still Finding Me?

Story
My accidental solo vacation takes a turn for the less depressing after a drink that leads to a date with a brawny bedroom-eyed firefighter. I’m 42, divorced, with two daughters at home. I thought romance was in my rearview mirror until the mysteriously intense Leo made me feel like I was the only woman in the Florida Keys. I know better than to get attached. But between midnight kisses and dirty talk under starry skies, our connection feels so real. So right.

Story
The annoying jerk my parents forced me to play with as a kid grew up to be a sexy, grumpy baker who still can’t stand me. Sure, maybe I enjoy our bitter banter, his cocky smirk, his chocolate chip cookies. But there’s a reason I can’t play nice. You’re wondering why—if I hate the guy so much—did I agree to be his fake date to his cousin’s wedding? Look. Just because I love being a pain in the man’s well-formed butt doesn’t mean I want someone else torturing him. Especially not the ex-fiancée who left him for his best friend.

Once upon a time, a girl loved a boy and he loved her back. They lived happily ever after. But our story was never that simple. I loved Josh with all I had, right until the day he left. Now, all these years later, he was back - and wanting me the way I'd always longed for him. Except now, I belonged to someone else. Someone who never left me the way Josh had. I figured that was the end of our story. I couldn't alter the past. I didn't want to rewrite my future.

My heart opens to Cooper Haywood the moment we meet. How can it resist? He's charming, devastatingly handsome, and sweeps me off my feet before I realize the impact he's making. And then it's too late. We fall too fast to worry about the consequences. We love so hard that we ache when we're apart.

My life was always at a simmer… only stewing, never going anywhere. I was left to fend for myself when it came to affection or love, so I learned to go without. I refused to let them see how broken and lonely I was; it was much easier to hide behind a false reality. I didn't want anyone's pity. I didn't need it. Pity wouldn't put food on the table or keep a roof over our heads. That was all me. Now, I have a second chance at a dream long forgotten. It demands hard work and sacrifice - with absolutely no distractions. A recipe I already know all too well, raising a daughter on my own.

It was supposed to be simple—dinner with my best friend’s little brother as a favor. No big deal, right? Wrong. That lanky boy I remember from our college graduation is nowhere to be found. When I meet him at his sister’s apartment, I’m facing a sexy, broad-shouldered, absolutely gorgeous man. And we’re supposed to spend the evening together. Maybe have a drink. And then go home. Separately. Instead, I take Mason home.

If Renn Brewer would’ve asked me to marry him, I would’ve said no. Why? One, his reputation precedes him. His name is in the headlines at least once a month. Two, he’s not just my brother’s best friend. They’re teammates. And three, I’m in my self-care era. Unfortunately, a version of me equates self-care with bad choices.

#OwenIsMINE
I've been in love with Stephanie Rose's books ever since her debut, Always You. This is her first foray into the audible world and hopefully not her last. When I read Finding Me I fell fast and hard for Owen, and of course loved Bella from the time she was a little girl. I've never been one for listening to books but this... Every spare moment I had I listened. It helped me enjoy mundane household chores and it opened my mind to the wonderful world that Ms. Rose created. The narrator of this book did a terrific job of blending the characters and making them come to life. I think I may now become an audible junkie!

Finding Me
4.5 Stars rounded up.
This was so sweet. I loved Owen from the start, his true feelings for Bella were obvious. They were fun and flirty and (eventually sexy). And since I just finished Always You I was super excited to see Lucas and Sam again. (This could be a stand alone but I highly recommend at least reading Always You first)

Sassy Bronx Meets Southern Sexy!
It was so much fun catching up with Bella after I fell for the adorable little girl in Always You and the emerging young teen in the novella Always Us. This can definitely be read/listened to as a standalone though. In Finding Me, Bella is off to her freshman year of college. She is attending a school 4 hrs away from home to re-invent herself after a terribly embarrassing breakup with her ex-boyfriend. He made her believe she wasn't enough for him. This raised all kinds of insecurities of always being left behind, first from her father when she was small and now her first crush. When she meets Owen, a cocky hockey player with a sexy southern accent, she doesn't believe she is good enough for him. Owen was sick of girls only wanting him because he was on the hockey team. He liked that Bella was smart, independent, and beautiful. She didn't care how many goals he scored, she liked him for who he was and wouldn't let him get away with anything. He was patient and determined to break through her defenses and make her his. I liked how their relationship grew naturally, first as friends and study partners, then gradually into more. Bella liked how funny and sweet Owen was and enjoyed his teasing so much that she would finally give in to his southern charm. They were really great together and their chemistry was combustible. This story had several events and plot twists that tested their bonds, added suspense, and kept me engaged. The narrator, Lauren Sweet, had the perfect voice for young adult females but she was also able to effortlessly move to the male voices. She is a wonderful story teller. I thoroughly enjoyed this sweet, sexy, and exhilarating story.

Sweet Contemporary Romance
Bella has been burned by her Dad & Ex-boyfriend. Her Dad left her when she was young but her stepfather has taken care of her like she is his own. Her ex-boyfriend has humiliated her in front of her whole high school by cheating on her while away at college and having pics posted online where everyone could see.
When Bella leaves for college, she decides to keep guys at a distance but Owen slowly breaks her wall piece by piece. Owen is a sweet hockey player that steals her heart. There are some ups and downs but it concludes with a sweet HEA.
The narrator does a fairly good job bringing the story to life. Owen's accent was great and very fitting.
I'm looking forward to listening to more books by this talented author.

Not bad, not great, but good
A good read. This just felt very young adult to me. I tend to lean towards more mature adult romance these days.
The hero is a good guy and displayed some jealous, possessive behavior that I like to see in my heroes. Nothing over the top.
There is a little bit of other woman drama. While I didn't like her character, the author did a good job of not overdoing her part.
The heroine is a sweet girl. She had a couple immature behavior moments but nothing too bad. There wasn't anything exceptional about her. I do tend to care more about the hero in books though.
I think overall the author did a good job of not making anything too much in this story. While I liked that, it also didn't make the story stand out for me either. Again, that could be because this couple felt too young for what I normally like.
I did struggle a bit with the audiobook. The narration part of the story was spoke in low tones but when it came time for the characters speak, it was louder. I could not adjust the volume to cater to both. I either couldn't hear the quiet parts or the loud parts were too loud.
