It was a very good short story!!..
Lacy and Dex are very intriguing and I can't wait for what they'll do next..I'm kinda hoping for Lacy going away and Dex coming after her..
When it ended,I admit it was very cruel..I was like "What?Why??I want more!!"...It wasn't enough...
Lacy is fearless..She has more guts than most...Going to the UK alone...wow...
And Dex?...I would like to know more about that hot protective sexy-voiced man...
Waiting for #2...

You know a novella is good, when it leaves you wanting to know more! That is what happened to me after hitting the end of this book. I wanted more! I wasn’t ready for the story to end, and it was my disappointment that the second one isn’t out yet! (Hint hint ;) )
While this is a shorter novella, there was still plenty that happened in it, but not enough at the same time. We meet Lacy, who is trying to find her past. During the beginning of that search we are introduced to Dex, who seems to have that Dominate side to him. They both seem to hit it off, but when the real world kicks in it throws them off balance.
There were small things about this book that bugged me, and one of those is how fast paced the story went. I don’t want to say too much because I don’t want to give anything away, but I wish that the story would have been spread out more. But that is the “downfall” of reading a serial, the books give you just enough to bring you in and then leave you wanting to know more.
I can’t wait to read the next part in this serial and see if it lives up to the expectations that I have!

Oh. Em. Gee.
Ooh so not where I thought this was going!
Where do I begin?
Let's start with a "fudge brownie macchiato with extra caramel, chocolate shavings and whipped cream." Where do I get one of those and can I pour all the "extras" on Dex? "HOT"
I could almost highlight the whole book. "...not so much relax as melt on the man." Oh my!
-If only my first time could have been so poetic.
-And I don't even know his last name, my mama would be so ashamed.
Although the novella/serial concept leaves me wanting, I actually kind of like it. At least then I may actually get some things done while waiting on the next installment instead of just being glued to my Kindle. But the waiting still sucks ;0}
There were a few editing issues, really beginning to think that should be my next job, but nothing that really interferes with the flow of the story.
Good Job Danielle! (Im)Patiently awaiting the next installment.

First of all I would like to thank the author for providing me a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
Finding Me is the story of 19 year old Lacy an American native who finds herself in London, trying to find herself after being dumped as a 2 year old in Texas and Dex and Londoner who finds himself drawn in by Lacy.
I loved this novella. Danielle pulls no punches getting to the point in this book. I have been left wanting more with this book but not unsatisfied by how the book was left.
The emotions that are showcased in the book really grab you and you find yourself being drawn in on the emotional roller-coaster.
The characters are relatable and the storyline flows nicely. A enjoyable read.

OH. EM. GEE. I feel like I need a cigarette after reading this. HAHA
Just give me a moment to try and calm down. My heart is racing like I've been running a marathon. I don't even know what to say besides DAMN! Danielle has gone and done it again. I love how I can be sitting in front of my computer reading, yet it feels like I'm there experiencing everything Lacy is. Which just goes to show it's some AMAZING writing. So I rate this a 5 out of 5!
I'll have my full review up later today.

I enjoyed this short episode. Fast paced and steamy. Now right now, I only see three episodes. So far they have been 99 cents which is a good thing. Can't see spending more than that on a 34 to 40 page book. Like the leads so far. Hopefully, if she can get the episodes out in a timely manner, I will continue the series. Here's to hoping.

I cannot begin to explain how surprised I was halfway through the first page. The writing is tight, it flows, and you are drawn in to Lacey's character. You're not just watching but feeling what she is, thinking what she is. Danielle Taylor really has a knack for drawing the reader in, I was incredibly impressed and I am moving quickly onto the second story...now.
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS!!!!

I received this book for an honest review.
Since I was given all 3 of these books together, I plan on doing one review for all 3. I absolutely enjoyed these stories. They had mystery, laughs and some hot moments and all of those are just right up my alley. I liked the characters. Here we have Lacy, who just turned 18 and is ready to find out who she is. And she does that by hauling her but across the world to London, her birthplace. You find out she was adopted and no one knows anything about her story. But she is bound and determined to find out. Now at times Lacy seemed a little awkward to me, I really wish there would have been more personality to her character. I did find her pretty hilarious at times. On her first stop in London she meets Dex. Sweet baby grasshoppers this man was a walking cupcake with sprinkles. Yummmmmm! He had an accent, tattoos and could play the guitar and sing. I am now packing my bags and headed to London. Do they all look like this there? This man was all sugary sweet with a dash of dominant possessive that had me drooling at times. Let me tell you by 4% I was already confessing my undying love for Dex and by 7% I was handing him my first born. The one thing I didn't like about him was the way he introduced his BDSM side to Lacy, I felt like he skipped passed steps 1-5 and jumped on right to step 22. It was way to much, way to fast. I kind of have to question his DOMiness here. Plus there is just something that he is hiding that is making me not fully be in love with this man, warning bells are going off here. I must know this mans story. And oh my sweet author lady Danielle, did you have to tease us with Mr Pissy Ryhs right there at the end? I may have to consider cheating on Dex with what little bit you gave us of this man. Mmmmm
So after all that, on to the story. I really did enjoy this story. I did come across a couple of parts that made me go "Huh?" though. There were a couple of holes or maybe just some unanswered questions. But let me just tell you the sex in this book was just hot and all the teasing leading up to it almost had me going up in flames. Make sure you keep a fire extinguisher handy just in case. Everything I have read from this author has been great and she has a skill for always leaving you wanting more. I am so ready for the next book in this little series.
My song for this book: Take me Away by Killswitch Engage
(It took me forever to find a song even somewhat close to what I was looking for)

This book took me by surprise as I was following her other story Falling for you, which I am so intrigued by. This book also took me by storm as soon as I realized it wasn't another addition to her previous book I am working on. I love how this story starts out having someone follow the aspirations and dreams in her life, so many people are afraid of the risks now matter how much they want something and this book takes you along as this journey starts out, risks and all! Grab it today to find out more!
