Publisher's Summary:

Where one story ends, often another begins. For some reason, Adam Davenport can't see past the ending. The hit and run has forced him to slow down and stop running from the pain of losing his parents. He has tried to hide behind meaningless, superficial relationships and even more shallow friendships, but the time has come to face his loneliness. Now he is finally ready to start being a family with his brother Sam.

However, Sam and Haley, who was once Sam's personal assistant, are too busy basking in their newfound love. Though breaking the rules for the first time ever has changed Sam's life for the better, Adam has always broken the rules, strayed from responsibility, and done as little as he could get away with.

One of the main reasons that he refused to believe that Cammie was more than friend material was because she was impervious to his charms. She was so driven and determined to make her new catering company a success that she couldn't see past her own dreams. Suddenly, Adam found himself behaving in ways he never imagined. He was working to impress a woman, but more than that, he was working to help make her dreams come true.

He soon realizes that there are times in life when giving is more important than taking and when helping someone else is more important than what that person can do to reciprocate. He also learns there are times that the biggest risk is to stop hiding from emotions and to start allowing love to finally be found.

Adam faces the music

Finally Found is a follow on from Hiding Out and picks up where Adam is recovering from the hit-and-run when he saved Haley's life. Having been in a coma and going through a long convalescence, has given Adam a new perspective on life and the direction he is taking. Unfortunately, it is only Adam who is aware of the changes that have taken place, as everyone else still sees him as the trust fund playboy. When Adam coerces Cammy into assisting him in his great escape, she treats him with the disdain he earned from her previous experience of him, not realising that her premise is based on a lie.

Despite Adam's bad reputation, he is actually a thoughtful and caring person as is brought out in his relationship with his future sister-in-law Haley. One cannot help but feel for him as he tries to reach out to Cammy, and is met with one rebuff after another. Despite the unfairness of Cammy's rejection, Adam still maintains his humour and continues trying to break through her defences, whilst at the same time working together with her in putting together her business plan. The attraction between Adam and Cammy was strong but tense, and I felt all of the angst and tension between them. I felt the unfairness of the lies told about Adam and would have liked to shake Cammy into seeing what was in front of her eyes. An enjoyable read.

A story that makes you laugh and cry

Members Reviews:

A beautiful love story...

This story grabbed my attention from the first page and continued to do so to the very last page. Joe ( A famous writer) and Meg ( a very famous & gifted Photographer) who hadn't known a thing about each other at all until they met at the funeral services that were held for Anna, were named to carry on the legacy.

Years ago Anna had started a foundation and a village for gifted artist from all over the world. Joe and Meg were both part of that village, although they were there 6 years apart from one another. The village was for artists from all walks of life and they all had very different sorts of special talented gifts. Some were musically inclined, then there were the authors, the painter's, the sculptor's, the photographers, and then there were also the singers and dancers.

But Joe and Meg were the ones that had really captured Anna's heart. So when she realized that her time on earth was coming soon, she chose these two to be the ones to carry on her legacy of the "Artists Village" that she had built over the years. She had also left them joint ownership of both the mansion she had lived in, as well as the Artist's Village itself.

While trying to finish the work Anna had left behind, these two fall deeply in love with one another in the process.

Would I recommend this book? Yes!

Really, really good

I loved this story. Our hero writes romance novels as a woman. Mainly because men writers don't sell. I am guilty of that sin myself. I just don't figure men really get it!! However, this guy is something else. He meets the love of his life and they set out to work their way through their issues. A good story, good characters, no bad guys (thank goodness) and a happy ending. My favorite kind of story. I highly recommend this very entertaining read. I finished in one day. Not a short story, I just don't do much but read.

Beautiful romance

If you're a hopeless romantic looking for a beautifully written love story this is a must read. The characters are real and you can believe on the storyline.

Got to be one of my favorites!!

Within just the first few pages I knew this book was going to be amazing. The story line was great! It was such an easy read and an enjoyable one at that. There was nothing unrealistic and it made the book feel more real. Just a great read and I hope you take the time to read it as well!!

Always a Romantic xoxo

Wonderful!

This is one of my favorite books. I'll come back to read it over and over again. I'll definitely recommend this book to my friends. Please keep writing these feel good, happy ending stories. When I'm down these really pick me up!!!!

Members Reviews:

Another great Julie Miller book

Another great book by Julie Miller! I am a big fan of hers. The last couple of books weren't fully to my liking but this was exactly what I like, minus one thing.

I loved the character of Robin. She is a single mother, who has adopted a baby girl she calls Emma. She is successful in her business and at the same time always has Emma foremost on her mind. When she is attacked and then saved by Jake, she feels there is much more to the man than what he presents himself as. I liked how they both felt that there was also something more to their attraction for each other.

Jake is definitely honorable and shows true integrity. Having lost his memory 2 years ago, he keeps to himself rather than become close to others and later have them hurt because of him and regret their friendship with him. He also does not have any relationship with women since he doesn't remember anything about his past life, except that he might have committed a major crime. Too many books show men spending meaningless nights with women despite having a strong feeling that they might have done something really bad which could come back and cause real trouble for them and those close to them. He is so caring of Robin and Emma. I LOVED how Jake was so afraid of the baby in the beginning, handling her with extra care. I found it hilarious how his thoughts were described as he thought of everything that could happen to her.

The only thing that I was upset with was that I was expecting a bit more focus throughout the book on the revelation of the mystery behind Jake's memory loss. Since that was a major characteristic of his character, I wanted that to hold the same importance as the mystery of who was after Robin and Emma. The truth about his past just came out in the last few pages at the end. It seemed like the word limit for Harlequin made it hard to fully develop the story with both ideas as I mentioned. This is similar to the reason why the previous book ended so abruptly.

I had a great time reading Robin and Jake's story with a hint of the two characters that will be in the next book. I can't wait to read Pike Taylor's story with Robin's friend, Hope. September is just too far away...

Assumed Identiy

I didn't realize when I started this book that it's really the 3rd in a series. I do have the previous 2 books that I am now going back to read, though this one stood well on its own.

Jake Lonergran is a man without a memory of who he was previous to waking up two years ago.

Members Reviews:

Good young adult story.

This is a story that is about two college age kids who are from different sides of the track. The story doesn't get too deep that it ends up beating a dead horse but does touch on current issues that one might face. It's refreshing to see that they can weed through things to find out what really matters in life. Not too deep, not too light young adult story. I'm old enough to be their parents so consider the source. As a parent, it's nice to see characters that reflect maturity and depth that readers/listeners the same age as the characters involved can look at as examples. I can see how it could get 5 stars depending on the listener and their life experiences. It held my interest and the narrators did a good job which is always a deal breaker for me.

Great Book and Narration, some problems

Any additional comments?

Chapter 3 (Chapter 4 in Audible app) is incomplete. Dylan's Narration has a lower volume than Alex throughout the novel. Both could be a little higher.

Slow to start but great ending

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I enjoyed this book although it started slow.

What about Nicholas Vennekotter and Emily Eldridge s performance did you like?

I love the different voices it made the story enjoyable.

Any additional comments?

I did like this book I would think anyone liking a good love story would like this book.

Welcome to Whitetail, Wisconsin, future home of Weddings that WOW!

As acting mayor, Annika will do anything to revive the economy of the town that's been her refuge ever since her art career imploded and her fiancé walked out. Even if it means crashing an engagement party to talk business with the bride's billionaire father. But the evening starts with a kiss from a gorgeous stranger - and ends with a night in jail.

Finn Callahan can't believe his sister is getting married, not after their parents' disastrous track record. And he'd rather be anywhere than working from his family's vacation home. Until he catches a leggy blonde sneaking in the window, and suddenly telecommuting for the season is very appealing.

Unable to resist their mutual attraction, Annika and Finn are soon mixing business and pleasure - just for the summer. Too bad Annika's heart missed the memo about not falling in love.

Bad Narrator

What disappointed you about Saved by the Bride?

Could not even get 1/4 of the way through the book. I think the story was OK but I could not bring myself to listen to the narrator one more minute.

How could the performance have been better?

Members Reviews:

Oh Danny Blue

Another amazing story from Kailin Gow. I wouldn't expect anything less.

I Love a story with a rock and roll background. Never is the type of female character that I love. She is strong and self confident, for the most part. She is a girl who knows what she wants to acheive, however, Never's decisions don't only affect her but her band. In this second book in the series things are getting Hot and messy. Everything has turned from good to bad in a matter of days.

Danny Blue is my favorite book boyfriend right now. I just love him. From the good looks to the talent to the British accent, I am a goner. I can see the appeal but Never has been heartbroken one too many times by this heart throb that I'm not sure if they will last. I am holding out hope for them but there are others that want to be Never's man. We'll just have to wait and see how everything will play out. There is definitely more to come in the series and I for one will be right there rooting for the Hot mess that is Danny Blue.

Loved it!

Kailin Gow has done it again! Waiting on pins and needles for the next book.

Detailing Danny's past more but yet still leaving enough out to keep you hanging on. I was a huge Team Danny in the first book but how she has givin light to Luc just makes me want to switch teams.! I love how she has made Never a strong willed women and not some weak girl who feels the need to " hide" the troubles she is getting from everywhere. Only complaint is I wish she didn't make her out to be so quick to jump ship to one from the other. Seemed a bit out of character for Never.

Fast, fun read

Fast paced, engrossing story, a quick read that I couldn't put down. The characters were very well written. There were a couple moments that stretched credibility, but the overall story is so good that I can forgive the author for that. I don't buy books very often, but I am anxiously awaiting the release of the third book of the series, and I'll be buying it right away!

Not a must read

It's a good book. The only reason I bought it is because I read the first one which I got for free and wanted to see how the story played out. There is one more book after this one for a total of 3. The series is good and my 16 year old daughter liked it too

Love to read

I have a NookColor and the 1st book was available and the 2nd book was ONLY on Amazon..I could not find this book until I went into Barnes & Noble who researched it for me. It was a BIG inconvenience. Never Land was okay and a Qwick read.

Critic Reviews:

"Irresistible and satisfying...addictive and sexy romance at its best." (New York Times best-selling author Susan Mallery)

"Molly O'Keefe is a unique, not-to-be-missed voice in romantic fiction. Can't Hurry Love is an automatic must-read!" (New York Times best-selling author Susan Andersen)

Members Reviews:

Finding true love?

Susan Denakee is an outstanding narrator who makes the story so real, you forget she is reading it. This second book by Mollu O'Keefe, a follow-up to "Can't Buy Me Love", which deals with the brother's romance, now centres on the sister's romance, as well as the mother's. No matter what happened before, the women found true love the second time around.

Emotional Cripples

This is a novel about way too many emotional cripples that comes to unrealistic finish. The narration was good but the book really didn't do anything for me.

Disappointing

I was really looking forward to this book. The newsletter from "Writerspace" made it sound like an author I would like. It was good enough to finish, but that's it! I didn't care about the characters - they started out pretty unlikeable, and their contraditory behavior made them frustrating. So far there is a series of three books and all of the women are introduced in this book. However, the main character in the second book is such a snobbish ****, I can't imagine wanting to read about her in the next book.

Publisher's Summary:

"I do," the bride and groom said

and without love they wed.

Jonas Winslow knew nothing about fatherhood, yet he was determined to keep his orphaned nephew. But the boy's aunt, Robin Hampstead, wasn't about to let go of her only remaining family. The solution: a temporary - strictly platonic - marriageor so they thought.

Their agreement was to share the house and all child-rearing responsibilities, which seemed an uncomplicated arrangement untilJonas began seeing Robin in a new light, not as a pretend wife, but as a very real woman whose bedroom was enticingly close to his.

This book was previously published by Harlequin™ in 1996 as Daddy Down the Aisle under this award-winning author's pseudonym, Donna Clayton. It was published as part of both the popular 'Conveniently Wed' and 'Fabulous Fathers' campaigns. The book has been meticulously edited and updated, and was expanded by nearly 10,000 words.

Members Reviews:

Heartwarming and heartwrenching ...

Have you ever wondered why most romance stories are not laden with children, families and other assorted issues that real people face each day? Because we read to escape, we read to find potential in dreams penned of dashing heroes and damsels in distress, that hope for the happy ending. Its a difficult balance, because we all have those groundhog days in our relationships, when family is the overwhelming attention grabber, and the time for romance gets pushed to the side.

Donna Fasano has managed that delicate balance in An Accidental Family and creates a story that both entertains and realistically portrays many of the situations faced in todays relationships. Although Jonas and Robin are tossed into turmoil with the loss of family members and the responsibility of parenting their just one year old nephew, they also must learn to work together and deal with their own personal conflict while doing the best for young Tony.

While they are struggling with their own and the babys grief, the sleepless nights and the inevitable battles that all parents know, Fasano has also managed to give Robin and Jonas incredibly strong and well defined interior voices, some interesting and often humorous conflicts and dialogue that is real in tone and content. Both characters grow throughout the story, both personally and in their estimation and feelings for one another.

Beautifully narrated by Laura Jennings, you can hear her smile in the words that she is reading, especially in the parts that would strike a reader as humorous. A good combination of story and narration made for a perfect listen on a rainy and cold afternoon.

I received an AudioBook version from the author for purpose of honest review and feature on the Heard Word at I am, Indeed. I was not compensated for this review: all conclusions are my own responsibility.

A tear jerker

What did you like best about An Accidental Family? What did you like least?

The characters and their relationship through difficulty

Could you see An Accidental Family being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?

I think it already has been its very similar to the film life as we know it

Sweet and heartwarming

Jonas and Robin had only met a couple of times and didn't get along. Then his sister and her brother die, leaving their young son, so they get married in order to take care of their nephew together.
