Find Her
A chance sighting leads to second chances – for hope, for family, and for love.
Five years ago, teenager Antonia disappeared. With no compelling evidence, the police eventually called her a run-away, and dropped the case. Her teacher, Jax, has always regretted not speaking up about the rumours she heard circling the school that day, but a random sighting at a train station raises the possibility that Antonia is still alive – and not too far away.
Antonia’s father, Connor has never given up hope that his daughter will be found and returned to her family. When her old teacher, Jax, calls him with a small spark of a lead, he seizes it with both hands, determined to chase it down.
But there’s more at play than simple teenage rebellion and the path Jax and Connor travel rapidly becomes more dangerous than either could have imagined, and opens up new possibilities that neither could have expected.

Find Her is the first book I have read by Elisabeth Rose. While thinking that the beginning started strong and then became bogged down in dialogue. By the time, I had finished the book, I understood the beginning family search and conversations was needed to see into the mind of Jax; seeing how meticulously and logically she approach things. It is that quality that ensures that she does not give up even though the police seem to at times.
The mystery of the missing student and daughter of Connor is the start of this suspenseful and dangerous journey that Jax and Connor take. There are twists and turns that I did not imagine but found to be believable. It is an edge of the seat thriller right up to the climatic fight scene. I loved how that all played out.
Romance book, yes, but stronger in the suspense part of the story. I will be looking for more to read from this author.
An ARC of the book was given to me by the publisher through Net Galley.

Romantic thriller builds to non-stop finale
This book reads much like a movie script. It sets the stage, introduces the characters, makes things go wrong (more than they were), and then as the mystery gets solved, makes more and more things go wrong. I really enjoyed the little touches that built the characters, especially the bits of Jax being a teacher.
There were a few moments that annoyed me; mostly the characters being too stupid to live and the police being particularly obtuse at times. The second half went way faster than the first – a lot was packed in but it felt a little repetitive.
I felt this was more thriller than romance but both led to a satisfying conclusion.

Find Her by Elisabeth Rose begins with a teacher who sees a former student that went missing five years ago. Jax, the teacher, is coming back from a holiday on public transportation. Across the train station, she sees Antonia for the first time in five years. Jax partners with Antonia’s father Owen and they enter a dangerous world to find his daughter. This Australian book has great suspense, twists and turns, and even some romance. It is a fun weekend read. I received a digital copy of this book from the publisher in exchange for my honest review.

This is a real page turner. I started this novel on a car journey (as a passenger!) and finished it by the time we had made a two day round trip....I just couldn't stop reading! Very exciting, at times scary. I became so involved with the main heroine, Jax and later had such compassion for the other women characters. I must say the romance angle was so obvious from the first couple of chapters and the story could have been improved by holding back a bit on that angle but all in all a great read! Thanks.

Liked it till the end where I felt it was just left hanging. If there is a sequel I will read it just to find out what happens next.

I received an ARC from Netgalley and this is my unbiased review.
Find Her is a very well written suspense/romance. I loved it and was pulled immediately into the story. Ms. Rose is a new to me author and I enjoyed her style of writing and will be reading more of her work.
