ARC Review: Finding Sutton by Kristyn DeMaster
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Thank you Book Sirens for letting me read this early 🖤

Finding Sutton is one of those stories that slowly pulls you in and then refuses to let go. With an emotional core and a strong focus on healing, identity, and love, this book delivers a heartfelt journey that feels both raw and real.

Sutton is such a compelling character -watching her navigate her past while trying to figure out who she is and what she wants had me completely invested. The character development is definitely a highlight here, and the relationships (romantic and otherwise) feel layered and authentic.

And Ry? Honestly, every woman healing from bad past relationships wants someone like him. He’s patient, understanding, and so accepting of Sutton, even while navigating his own emotions and struggles. That balance made him feel incredibly real- not perfect, but exactly what Sutton needed.

The romance builds at a steady pace, giving you just enough tension and payoff to stay hooked without feeling rushed. It leans more emotional than spicy, but the connection between the characters is undeniable and beautifully written.

At times, the pacing dipped slightly in the middle, and I found myself wanting a bit more intensity in certain moments. But overall, the story still hits where it matters, leaving you with that satisfied, slightly emotional book hangover.

Overall: A touching, character-driven romance with depth and heart- perfect if you love stories about self-discovery and second chances

This is a good contemporary, workplace romance book. Because of the workplace elements, it’s a slow burn / off limits type romance. The characters are well developed and the difficulties they go through are actually realistic and could be relatable.

This is the 4th book in this series but the first one I had read. I don’t feel that I had any issues with understanding the character relationships from not reading the prior books. I’ve added the rest of the series to my TBR list because I want to know the other characters full stories!

A little bit of forbidden workplace, a seriously perfect book boyfriend, and a lot of drama with an ex-boyfriend - I loved Finding Sutton! Seriously, Sutton and Ry were endgame (to quote Emily). Ry was beyond perfect, and I loved Sutton’s character and style. I haven’t read all the books in this series, but I’ve read some and this is a great addition. The spice was a little lacking, I thought, and there was excessive use of the past perfect tense, which drove me a bit nutty, but overall, it was well done.

I received a copy of Finding Sutton from BookSirens. I am sharing this review voluntarily.

This was a slow burn temporarily forbidden romance due to Sutton being Ry’s PT instructor.
This was such a great read and Sutton and Ry’s chemistry was so hot. There was plenty to keep you interested in the story and the characters were entertaining. My only criticism was that Ry was sickenly perfect! He seemed too good to be true at times.

Loved this! Awesome characters. Lots of fun action packed scenes. Banter and lol moments throughout. Character interaction was entertaining. Their journey together wasn’t without hurdles. Read in one sitting. It was that good!!
