Finding Forever

by Mayra Statham

As a private investigator, I’ve seen it all. When the woman who helped raise me asks for the impossible, I can’t turn her down. Not when she’s sick and her time is running out. My stepmom needs me to find the son she was forced to give up for adoption as a teenager.

Determined to find the son she lost, I’m headed to the Arizona desert with nothing more than a couple of leads and a hunch. I’m not prepared for what I find during a monsoon rainstorm outside a gas station. Josh Packard is everything I never thought I wanted. Love at first sight always sounded like something out of a book, until I bump into him, literally.

But life is funny sometimes. He’s the stepbrother I’ve been looking for. Love is messy and complicated. Being me, I make it so much worse when I’m pretty sure I’ve found forever in his blue eyes.

When Josh finds out the truth, will he still want to keep me?

Beautiful Story!!!

Ok just do yourself a favor and read this one. You won’t regret it. Josh and Jade stole my heart from their meet cute at the gas station and didn’t let up.

Jade is a PI and is searching for her stepmoms long lost son. What she didn’t realize was that she would casually bump into him and be completely smitten before she even realized it was him. Sometimes it only takes one look to realize your soulmate is looking back at you.

Josh and Jade just seamlessly fit together. I kept trying to read slow to savor the story but they captivated me to the point that I couldn’t put the story down. They had me with watery eyes but still smiling for their journey. It was absolutely beautiful.

I enjoyed these short novellas so much. This was a quick read, under 200 pages. Josh and Jade were awesome. Jade is tasked to find her step brother, which her stepmom was forced to give up when she was a teenager. She doesn’t have much time and wants to know what happened to her baby. Josh was a guy that grew up in the foster system and against all odds, found his now best friend and brother and they are awesome people that loved to give to the community. They met at a gas station and clicked right away. They fell fast for each other. Until secrets come out and now they need to figure out if they found in each other the forever they didn’t know they wanted and needed. Totally recommend this beautiful story about finding your person in the worst circumstances.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Finding Forever

What an amazing story! The storyline of this being finding a child given away when you were a teenager, parents who were domineering, never telling the truth, and doing things to intentionally hurt others. This story opens up a whole idea of what possibly happened to why a birth mother would have given up her child at birth for? Years of anger, resentment of her, now that she has been found can you open your heart to forgive. Beautiful story.😶❤️

Great book with all the feels

I really loved this book. This book has all the feels. There is Instalove and some drama - but not too much angst. It has some great depth and characters. You will not be disappointed.
