Finding Mia

I actually laughed out loud a few times. Moments my heart was crushed, my jaw had dropped to the floor. There were tears of sorrow and tears of joy. Parts were I was beyond frustrated, and then parts where I felt so whole and complete just by reading.

So many quotes that just hit a cord with me. I highlighted so much. Or was that the very thing that defined real beauty- light after darkness? And maybe that was the whole point. To put it simply- I fell in love with this book and I fell in love with the characters. The writing was incredible and painfully beautiful. This is a series that will stay with you. You'll be thinking about it for days after you read. I would highly recommend these to all readers. Because people defined by bitterness end up destroying themselves from the inside out, and eventually the destroy everyone who tries to love them, too.

Finding Eden picks up just after the shocking ending to Becoming Calder and we see how Calder and Eden are now having to face living in a world that they never imagined existed, struggling with loss and heartache and pain and what they have to face before being reunited again.

What I wish to convey is how this enchanting story made me feel, and the quality of the writing. I wish to offer a glimpse of the wonder that is Finding Eden. We learn the reasons and motivations for everything…. It's compassionate and sensitively written with complex layers of emotions, thoughts and feelings. So much attention and care is given as to how our beloved characters find themselves in their given situations.

We learn the extent of Hectors wrong doings. The way time moved, hurt my heart. Finding Eden has page upon page of beautiful words packed with meaningful and thought provoking content. I was so entranced and involved in the happenings that the mere mention of a past event, the simple thought in a characters mind could set my emotions off. It felt real, tangible, never sensationalized I saw pictures in the writing, I felt a real sense of time, placement and human feeling.

So many emotions are explored and all of them are truthful and honest. There's beauty and love even in the darkest places There is one point in the book and I literally could not read it or turn the page quick enough through my tears of heartache, joy and hope. The anticipation of what was happening, and what I hoped was about to happen, was immense.

Finding Eden is sensually HOT! Calder and Eden have grown up and it shows. I felt their closeness and intense connection deep inside my book heart. I smiled, laughed and cried with them, I felt like I was part of their inner circle Finding Eden is truly exquisite and left me with that perfect, contented book feeling. Finding Eden is the second part in a two book series in which we're given a dual point of view. It's essential to read Becoming Calder first.

They're trying to get on with their lives but finding it hard because their other half is gone. Eden meets a very generous man who takes her in and hires her as his grand daughter's piano teacher. He grows fond of her and in the end helps her to find her real mother. She and Calder run into each other at an art gallery exhibit where his paintings are being sold.

All the paintings are of their Spring from Acadia and of her silhouette. I just about cried my eyes out during their reunion. The way the author describes the scene, it was so very easy to visualize the joy and the pain these two were feeling. It was one of my favorite parts of the story. There are a few minor conflicts that come up but they manage to face them head on and prove that nothing can ever tear them apart.

Calder and Eden will uncover the truth about Acadia and Hector's past. What inspired him to create Acadia and what eventually drove him to madness. Calder will also find out his true identity. I loved how everything comes full circle at the end and that these two beautiful people end up with the HEA they so justly deserved! View all 51 comments.

I can always count on her to give me unique plots and one-of-a-kind characters. View all 42 comments. Aug 01, Lady Vigilante Feifei rated it really liked it Shelves: This story was all about dealing with the aftermath of the events in book 1 and very much a journey of self-discovery for both Eden and Calder as individuals as opposed to a couple. Calder needed to find a way to cope with all the guilt he harbors and Eden has to combat the loneliness and sorrow within her in order for both of them to move on. There are several heartfelt and touching moments sprinkled in the story, enough to induce tears.

But sadly, I was unfazed by most of their poignant moments and even got a little tired of their dialogues professing eternal love for one another I get it, they love each other. If I am to be completely honest with you, no one but myself is to blame for me not feeling the story. I picked this book up while I was in the middle of the Mortal Instrument series and my heart was with that book couple the entire time. These two books tell a story of an enduring and unconditional love between two beautiful characters and revealed depths about the beauty of forgiveness and second chances.

While BC made me cry at every turn this one just made me swoon and filled me with so much sugar that will probably last me a lifetime Oh Well! I will be consuming sugar like a maniac probably tomorrow.. In other circumstances, I would have hated so much fluff and "Love Explosion" but here, I lapped it up. Because Calder and Eden deserved every single moment of their happiness after what they ha 5 "Hearts and Flowers" Stars!!!!

Because Calder and Eden deserved every single moment of their happiness after what they had gone through in the previous book. It picks up right after where it ended in BC but then going forward we see a time gap. Now, I am not such a huge fan of time gaps. As a reader, I feel cheated because I miss so many years of a character's life but I went with it here because I just wanted C and E together, however I could get them. Some parts were heart breaking but then everything slowly turned into a giant pile of love and feelings. So for me it was easier to handle.

Those two characters have consumed my heart and my thoughts for the past 3 days. All I could think about was them and their HEA. And I can't believe it's over. BC was just something magical and miraculous and I am head over heals for that book. The part that made me give this a 5 star was the Epilogue That part brought back the magic for me.

I was laughing and crying and swooning all at the same time. It was the most memorable epilogue of all time for me. I am thoroughly satisfied with it. Will I recommend this book? A big and a loud YES!! If you loved the first book but at the same time that book made you mad and angry, then read this book because this book is a like a soothing balm. View all 58 comments. Sep 20, Amy Foxy Blogs rated it it was amazing Shelves: Finding Eden continues on where Becoming Calder left off.

Even though their circumstances are unfavorable these two continue to be some of the strongest characters I've read in a long time. Eden remains her genuine gentle spirit that we met in the first book. She has a quiet strength about her that endears others to her. Calder is a beautiful, tortured man. Although, he is free from his past he is still left feeling trapped and worthless.

Finding Mia

Their unwavering love is endearing and their story is captivating. I devoured this book in one sitting. The plot is so unforgettably unique. Even though, I've finished I still sometimes find myself daydreaming about these two books. Both books made me an emotional, jumbled-up mess. I went from smiling and laughing to crying and wanting to smash my kindle and then back to smiling. The jaw dropping moments made my heart clench and had tears spilling from my eyes. View all 49 comments. Oct 06, Brandi rated it it was amazing Shelves: The continuation of Calder and Eden's story is full of emotion and revelations.

Page after page, this book was filled with such raw, powerful, all-encompassing feelings, it truly was a heart pounding experience. For fear of revealing too much, all I will say is, Finding Eden was everything thing I hoped it to be. All my questions were answered and I was left with an overwhelming feeling of happiness for these two characters who have endured so much. View all 37 comments.

With new found family they learn to accept the second chance at life, with each other they learn to comfort and support in their struggle with the new world and to move on from their tragic loss. This story also unravels mysteries of their disappearance and their cult leader Hector. All in all it was an Epic conclusion to a wonderful love story and I loved it!

Mia Sheridan skillfully brought their story to a close as these two were left thinking the other had died in that mass suicide back in Arcadia. They struggle to acclimate to the modern world without the love of their lives. Our couple comes face to face and in fact it was a truly a heart stopping scene.

Their love is as strong as ever as is their need to be with together and help heal each other. Am I the only woman you want? I breathed out and then sniffled. During those three years, Calder has finally started painting but all he paints is his girl and their spring and through these paintings our couple unites. Eden and Calder do a lot of healing not only in the Bed of Healing but facing the truths of their pasts in the public eye while learning who they are now that the horror of Arcadia is over.

I was not disappointed, this was an amazing journey. Mia Sheridan is on her way to become the Jane Austen of our century. Well, I loved them in the first book, I loved them even more in this one. I love how they re-connect with each other. They were a new nice characters but I have on itch: What the hell, Mia?

I get it, I swear I get it. The way this girl was tied to the driftwood suggests a botched pick-up. How can he protect her when the agency tasked with protective custody appears to be anything but protective? Desperate to save little Mia, Liam takes her to her rescuer, Isobel, and basically forces her to keep her. He has no idea of the demons Isobel fights regarding children in general. All he knows is, as a newcomer to town and a concerned citizen, she is a safe place for Mia while he and his friend, Detective Nass, work to ferret out the child traffickers.

As danger stalks Isobel and Mia, can Liam keep them safe? The more time he spends with them, the more he realizes that his heart is just as endangered as the little girl is. Will Liam and Isobel be able to keep Mia out of the clutches of those who seek to steal her? I guarantee that once you start this book, you will NOT be able to put it down!

Both main characters come into the relationship with damaged hearts, grieving unimaginable losses, but both are willing to do what is needed to protect a little girl. Readers of romantic suspense will find a new author to add to their favorites list. With themes of redemption and Jesus Rescues, this story sucked me in and held me until the very end.

Oct 20, Barbara rated it it was amazing. This story touched my heart in so many ways. The sorrow and pain that is revealed in the hurts that others have inflicted on the characters are hard to read. But this story is one that deals with events that are really happening in our world. The terrors that many go through are something we need to be aware of and guard against such evil.

This is a very good story and I am so glad I read this! Peace A great story about a lady whom life was anguished. She finds a child on the beach. This child and a dr help her find peace in her life.
