Finding Us (Finding Love #3) by J.L. Perry is Jacinta's story. We met her in Finding Forever, which is book 2. This book can be read as a stand-alone, but do not mis out on books 1 and 2. They are well worth the read. Plus, you will already now Jacinta's back story and all the players. Now, on the verge of being 21, Jacinta is still a virgin. Due to her past, she has a hard time trusting a man, especially to the point of having sex. Now, it has become her best friend's mission for Jacinta to get her V card punched for her 21st birthday. Just so happens Jacinta's best friend picks the guy she ran into when dropping off her brother's keys at the gym. There is already an instant connection, and what is the harm since this will be a one and done situation. Jacinta has no plans of ever seeing him again. Imagine both Jacinta and Mason's surprise when Jacinta finds out her brother's best friend is Mason, and Mason discovers his one night of passion after over a year of celibacy is his best friend's little sister. This definitely makes for an awkward situation, especially since they both feel the attraction. So now Mason and Jacinta have to deal with their feelings, the brother's feelings, their similar dark traumatic past, and Mason's 5 year old son. This made for a recipe for a really good story. The sexual tension between the two was off the charts. Mason is not only good-looking but has a heart of gold. Jacinta, too, is a natural beauty that is there for everyone with a heart of gold. Considering their past, which we learn via flashbacks, had me in tears at time. If domestic violence is a trigger for you, then this book is rough. If not, then their struggle only enhances the resilience of these 2 people. A heart warming story with a lot of steamy sex. And the next door!! Ba-by, I can't wait. The teaser at the end was everything. 5 stars for me
