I have been a avid reader of Caitlyn O’Leary’s Fate Harbor collection since its debut. This sexy ménage series, with emotional baggage and HOT Alpha men, is always a thoroughly enjoyable read.

So for me the introduction of a new series based on naked children appearing out of nowhere with extraordinary abilities, and the events that transpire as they reach adulthood, was intriguing to say the least.

While the two series couldn’t be any more different, the capable and cohesive writing style of Ms O’Leary is still in abundance and once again provides her fans with a compelling and addictive read.

I’m not one for spoilers, but I will say that this first book is the whole package. Suspense, mystery, corruption and danger, are just a few words that come to mind when describing REVEALED; and no story is complete without a healthy dose of off the charts passion.

I challenge anyone not to shed a tear for the tortured Kali; and the captivating Noah is ALL that a hero should be. So along with this endearing couple and the wealth of characters and scenarios yet to come into play, THE FOUND series is sure to be a resounding success for this talented author, and I for one, am eagerly awaiting book 2!!

Caitlyn O'Leary has written Another Huge Hit Series!

I bought this book as part of the Holiday Fever collection. And was very excited to start reading it when I realized Caitlyn O'Learys contribution was book one of her Found Series! I have been wanting to review this series! I fell in love with Caitlyn O'Leary's Fate Harbor series and now this one too. Her unique style of writing builds layer upon layer to the worlds she creates. Her plot layers are revealed one layer at a time with infinite skill. Her character development is strong and leaves you believing your apart of their lives Her ability to pull you into her stories is what makes her one of the Master Storytellers!

Book 1 of the Found Series has us meeting Kelli/Kali and Sam/Noah two of the "Found" children that just suddenly appeared over twenty years ago. Each of these children holds a unique ability that helps them in their mission on earth... That is to save us from our own stupidity.
The story is complex and full of plot twists and turns. Intense drama, mystery, and some very hot steamy sex. The love story is full of emotions and has spanned two lifetimes. Caitlyn O'Leary has another successful series in the making! A must have for every enthusiast! 5 Stars all the way!

**ARC RECEIVED FOR HONEST REVIEW**
Wow !! I've read all of Caitlyn's Fate Harbour Series so when i was asked if i'd like an arc of a new series i jumped at the chance, and BOY am i glad i did !!
This was an amazing story, it's slightly dark as it covers subjects such as torture and kidnap but, is done in such a way that you don't realise it's dark. Caitlyn's writing style in this really pulls you in, you feel the emotions of each character and can empathise with them at times.
It tells the tale of a group of people called "The Found", most of them have no recollection of where they were prior to being "found" in different places across the world, but they all have a connection and power which , when they meet with others who are "found" emphasises each others ability.
I didn't want to stop reading this it was truly amazing !!

"Revealed" is book one in the Found series by Caitlyn O'Leary. When a young woman kidnapped, Naval Officer Noah and his team rushed home to save her. During her ordeal, Kelly kept herself alive was her dream about Noah. Together Kelly and Noah started to investigate their past to ensure they have a future. The readers of The Found will continue to follow Noah and Kelly to find out what happens.

Revealed is a paranormal romantic suspense book and an enjoyable book to read. "Revealed" is the first book I have read of Caitlyn O'Leary. I did engage with the plot and the characters of Revealed from the first page. However, Revealed did start slowly, but it is a fantastic book to read if you preserved. I love Caitlyn O'Leary portrayal of her characters and the way they interacted together throughout this book. Revealed is well written and researched by Caitlyn O'Leary. I like Caitlyn O'Leary description of the settings of Revealed that complimented the book's plot.

The readers of Revealed will learn the importance of allowing adoption and fostering abandoned children. The readers of Revealed will know that dreaming can provide insight into trauma in your past.

I recommend this book.

Typically, I do not read other posted reviews because I do not want my thoughts about the book to be influenced by other readers' perceptions. Well, there is no chance of that happening. As I was about to write this review, I was curious. Yes, the storyline was quite unique, with a lot of mystery thrown-in. I even loved the characters in the book, especially Kali and Sarah. So that part was decent; however, I really struggled to get through this book---there was so much gratuitous sex between Noah & Kali, that I just skipped over most of it. Don't get me wrong; I love strong sexual encounters, the hotter, the better. What I hate is contrived, manufactured scenarios that led Noah and Kali to have sex. Last, the editing was atrocious. Throughout the book, run-on sentences abounded. Just pick a page, any page. Initially, I was excited about this new and different paranormal romance; however, as much as it pains me, I've decided not to continue with book 2 of the Found series. While this review may not be popular among all of those glowing 5-star reviews, it is an honest review.

Such a great start to a unique series. We start off with Kelly (Kali) and she is literally being tortured. People want information from her but she has no idea what they want. We also have Sam (Noah) who is on the mission to rescue her. As soon as he sees her picture, he knows her. How could he know a complete stranger? Why is she having flashes of a boy fitting his descriptiion? It seems Kali and Noah, as they knew each other as kids, are Found. They're part of a group of kids sent to earth with special abilities. They recognize each other once they come into some form of contact. This is their story and it also introduces us to more Found. I highly recommend this series. I love Noah and Kali together. Their journey is dangerous, but it's so worth it. Happy reading.

[Lynne James · Rating 5 out of 5]

I've read most of Ms. O'Leary's Fate Harbor series and really enjoyed them, but I have to say Revealed knocked it out of the park! I loved this story, couldn't gobble up the words fast enough and now I can't wait to get my hot little hands on Forsaken. The characters drew me in, and the story gripped my heart and twisted while dragging me up and down on a rollercoaster of "What the heck?"

Revealed covers it all, sci-fi, fantasy, romantic suspense, romance, you name it, this story has it. Ms. O'Leary nailed it with this book and the first chapter of Forsaken left me craving more. Brava!

4.5 stars
This book has a great plot. I enjoyed the diversity of the characters. Kali and Noah were so cute together. Their passion was HOT! I would love to have some of their skills. ;)
I am looking forward to more stories in this world and getting to know the secondary characters better as well.

[Danni · Rating 5 out of 5]

I've just added Caitlyn O'Leary to my must read list on the strength of Revealed. A really good mix of the erotic, adventure and paranormal it had me hooked from the first page. The characters come across really well and there was lots of pace too. It looks like I have a bit of catching up to do!

[Cyn Mistress Kitty · Rating 4 out of 5]

Very nice start to this new series. I liked all the characters. At times the story was choppy and difficult to understand but overall it was good.

[Gucci 35 · Rating 4 out of 5]

Noah and Kali

Revealed is the first story in O'Leary's Found series. I enjoyed the characters, storyline, drama. The book starts of very intense and is filled with angst. Noah is the male lead and he is one sexy beast. This a paranormal romance set in a military world. Noah, Kali, Sarah, Joe, Seth, Annie and Niko were children when they left their world and arrived on earth. As they get older and start to meet eachother they grow into their powers. Only five of the found were shown to the public when they arrived but now the found is being hunted by multiple groups. Kali is the female lead she is take once but Noah will rescue her. Together along with Noah's SeaLs and a few new friends along the way they will hunt the evil hunting them. While they try and find the other found. Leary gives us romance, suspense, angst, mystery, paranormal all rolled into one good book. Happy Reading!!

[Michelle · Rating 4 out of 5]

I enjoyed the story and loved the connection between Kali and Noah and their history. I adored Noah's protective nature and how it overflowed where Kali was concerned (loved her parents had that same drive, her dad was awesome). I also loved getting to journey with Kali as she discovered herself.

So much to love, but there was just something about this story that didn't mesh well with me like most other of her books. Struggling to find the words, but really it was a good story, maybe just bad timing on my part to read it. I still want to try the rest of the series, but will hold off and circle back later.

[Belinda · Rating 4 out of 5]

I came to the party late. Caitlyn wrote a scene from a possible Book 4 and shared it on Facebook. It intrigued me so much I downloaded books 1-3. Revealed is Book 1 where we meet Kali and Noah and are introduced to the "Found", a group of children from another world who materialized on earth in various places. Kali & Noah are adults now and have reunited under dire circumstances. Caitlyn tales us on n emotional adventure full of action, conspiracies, lust, and love. I am looking forward to reading books 2 & 3.

[Madm007 · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was pretty intense. The first few pages really grab you and take you right into the story. The need to see what's going to happen next and the need to see justice won't let up until the very end.
The story was very intriguing, even upsetting. The interactions between Noah and Kali were so HOT.
I loved every bit of it. Ms O'Leary wrote an awesome journey that leaves us with more to be found with the rest of the characters.

[Kathy · Rating 5 out of 5]

A new series from Caitlyn O'Leary. This series involves paranormal characters (a group of people who appeared as children and have special skills). In the first book Noah and his team rescue Kali. The people found within the pages are written with rich details and with a view to family under chosen circumstances. This story, actually this series, is written with humor, protectiveness, and intrigue. It is a page turner. Bravo!

[Ginny · Rating 5 out of 5]

I listened to the audio version of this book. I really enjoyed the narrator you really felt what the characters were feeling in his presentation of the story. I am generally not into paranormal books but I enjoyed this one. Loved the development of the characters and the suspense and action. Can't wait to read the others in the series.

[karen · Rating 4 out of 5]

Different from Caitlyn’s other books. I am interested in reading the other books in the series to learn more about the found, where they came from, a d for what reason.
Noah and Kali were bonded from little. It would only be right for-them to find each other after all of this time and bond forever

[Delores · Rating 5 out of 5]

A different twist

Actually enjoyed this book. At first I wasn’t sure but as the story went on, all the parts came together and worked really well. The characters were developed and grew. It has intrigue, action, romance, and a little something extra. Can’t wait to read the next one!

[Annie Taylor · Rating 5 out of 5]

I loved this story, absolutely the best idea I've read about in a long time. I can't wait to see what's in store for these found children now that they are adults. The world built here is amazing. So glad I get to go on to book 2!

[Suszet Roberts · Rating 4 out of 5]

Good

OK I didn't read the blurb prior to starting this book as the cover wasa what grabbed my attention. I must saw it was surprisingly good Noah and Kali all that they have endured. The drama and suspense is thick, just makes the read keep turning the page to see what's next.

[Davia · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book is so different than what I have come to expect from one of my favorite authors. It wasn't a bad book at all, it was action packed and fast paced. I hope that with the next two books I will fall more in love with the story line.

Fun book I read on a trip. 3.5 stars. Review to follow.

[Cynthia · Rating 4 out of 5]

I have to say this was a very intriguing story that at times I got lost in. You have children all found unclothes on the same day at the same time that just appeared out of nowhere. Some in locked cars others in top secure places no one knows where they came from or how they got there. The absorb knowledge like a sponge. None saying a word until they hear the first words spoken, after a few words they can speak the language they have never heard. Years later they are grown this is where the story starts with some very intense action of the military trying to find one of The Found who has been kidnapped. When they find her there is nothing pretty about this scene and what these people do to this woman. Sam who is in charge of this military mission is also one of The Found with special gifts that make him the best at his job. Each child of The Found has special abilities that have grown overtime as they excel in their chosen jobs to better the world. They are adults but still do not know all they can do as the work through what coming together as a team means why finding more of their group before those that hunt them can find them, kill them or use them to whatever cause their sick minds wants.

Kelly is a delightful character who just feels out of place she feels she has no abilities like the others. She has no idea why they are hunting her or what they want with her. She is a very strong willed person at times very stubborn as Noah will find out. She is on the run for her life with Noah trying to find others that were found that day with no memories before the day they were found. She is a very caring and giving lady who has helped many students become better students bring out their best as she brings children and their families together to better understand what the child needs to grow to become the best they can. As she grows and learns more of what she can do with the help of the other founded children. Once she is rescued she has a hard time and feels she is a danger to those around her. She has some touch and goes as she works through her issues to find maybe things aren’t as they seem. In walks Noah and her whole world changes from what she knows, they have a past she thought she made up in her mind. What she finds is a passion like no other, the love of her life that has always been there even before she became one of The Found.

Noah is a very bright man who has risen in ranks very fast in the military. He has an ability to know danger, feel things and find things as he has saved his units behind more than once. Now he is on the hunt to find Kelly as he feels her pain as if it is his. Knowing they do not have much time she won’t last much longer he rushes to her secure. Noah is a very strong character in many ways, he is very alpha and takes control as he leads his team to their common goal to find The Found before others find them. I really liked this character he puts others first as he gives orders and works through their past bring them together and protecting them. His only goal is to protect, help and love Kelly as they bring memories of the life together from before knowing they were made for each other from a time long ago.

The author gives you a very intense read as Sam pulls Kelly out trying to bring her back to him. Her last words are Noah as Sam finds they have a past before they had a future. There are a lot of wonderful character each finding their way to out run the evil that is hunting them. Bring together a team who are learning their abilities but find that together they are more than if they are apart. The author gives you some hot passionate scenes as she builds a plot of books yet to come. It will be interesting to see how this group grows as they find out what they can together to make this world a better place. They have much to learn as they work through their past and remember a life from before. There are some grammatical and editing errors nothing that really bothered me. Lord knows I need an editor for my reviews I am the last one to judge on this issue. At times the author lost me but always brought me back with a very interesting plot with characters I could relate to. The ending will shock you as you say WOW REALLY that is why you did this, I would have to say the ending was so simple but with such an impact that it shocks you. I really love this ending. I am looking forward to seeing how this series unfolds as each learn more about themselves and other of The Found group.

[Pamela · Rating 5 out of 5]

Great read

Well I usually dont read book on this subject matter but let me say this was a very well written journey of a group who some thought didn't fit , some wanting what they had. But most of all a love that started as true friends but ended up being so very much more. Noah knew he was trying to rid the world of evil, Kali who was being severely brutalized by the evil of the world. Two people who finally found each other.. But yet it doesn't stop there you meet other amazing characters that you know has just as amazing journeys ahead of them and you can't wait to read them
