An alternative cover edition for this ASIN can be found here.
Family is more than shared DNA. . . and a home is more than a nice house.
Cole's mother married the Hereditary Prince of Liechtenstein when he was only three years old. When his step-father’s failing health requires Cole to step in and help out, he does it without complaint, knowing he can never ascend the throne. When his step-father offers to adopt him, Cole knows it's unlikely the other members of the Princely Family will ever accept an adopted heir. Even so, part of him wants to try.
Beth grew up surrounded by loving siblings and doting parents, but she wasn't born into this idyllic family. When her biological mother reaches out, explaining that she’s a huge star in Europe, Beth feels as if fate has orchestrated their reunion. Her bio mom is impressed with Beth's skill at the piano and invites her to join the European tour. Beth jumps at the chance, but the reality isn't quite the dream she imagined.
When Beth finds herself in a jam in the middle of Europe, can Cole rescue the damsel in distress, even though he's not technically a prince? And can Cole and Beth find the true meaning of home. . . together?

"Only once have I ever felt completely at home...
When I'm texting you, when I'm talking to you, and especially when I'm with you, I'm finally home."
Last year I thought book 5, Finding Holly would be the last book in this series. It was a bittersweet goodbye. I was happy to have read the whole series, and for one of the beloved characters, Paisley to finally get her happy beginning, but a little sad that there would be no more books to read. Shortly after I finished that book Bridget Baker announced that she had decided to write one more. This time it would be Cole's story. Cole was introduced in book 5 as Paisley's brother. He was an interesting character so I was happy to read more about him and find out who he falls in love with. Little did I know it would be Rob's sister. Rob from previous books, but namely Finding Liberty, my favorite book in the whole series and my very favorite guy from the series. Needless to say, I gobbled this book up. I enjoyed getting to know both Cole and Beth more, and their beautiful love story. This book is set mostly in picturesque Liechtenstein, and I'm not gonna lie, it kind of made me want to visit that place.
Bridget knows how to write endearing characters that seem real, but at the same time I always feel like I've escaped to somewhere else. I know I've said this before, but this reminded me a lot of a Hallmark movie, only better. The characters have more depth, and I can relate to the way they feel.
Thanks to the author for giving me an ARC of this book.

I love this series and these characters. We've met both Cole and Beth before since they're siblings to the main characters of earlier books. They share something in common besides that though--they're both adopted. That provides them with a depth of understanding for each other's situation which people don't usually have. The chemistry between them is quick, in spite of poor Beth's dreadful mascara-smeared face and frizzy hair when they first meet. I loved how they ended up encouraging each other to go after their dreams.
There's also some fun updates on other characters, including cameos. Thoroughly satisfying read.

This is a very compelling story of different families with similar pasts and could be true.
There is two families mainly involved in this story, however, their histories and present day lives could not be further apart even though one family lives in Atlanta USA and the other in Liechtenstein close to being central Europe.
The main story characters from each family is Cole from the Princely House of Liechenstein, although for reasons described in the story he does not feel so and the other is Beth living in Atlanta in the USA. Both young people have backgrounds that have left them very sad because of events in them and even though they have a loving group of siblings and parents surrounding and supporting them, deep down they both have something missing and are very intent to find out what it is and how to feel complete. Both have a lovely life where they are, however, this missing part forms a major part in their lives.
Beth is a hairdresser and highly valued by her friends and clients, but she does not feel she is as good at her job as they say. Her confidence and self worth are undervalued by her own attitude of her worth which has been influenced by events in her past life. Additionally, she is an excellent piano player and singer but again she feels far less accomplished at this art than her friends and family believe and say she is. However, a telephone call out of the blue one day is about the change her life dramatically and help her become and recognize the extremely confident and talented young girl she is. In her wildest dreams she could not imagine the wonderful life ahead of her but only after much sole searching and heart breaks that seemed to want her to fail again, but unbeknown to her there were people who recognised just who she really was and her hidden talents that needed to be bought to the front. It was not an easy journey, however, coupled with another person the journey to home and finally belonging begins.
Cole was part of the Princely House of Liechenstein being the son of the Prince, however, this country had strange and different laws that meant because of who he was he could not become the Principal of the country unless dramatic changes occurred to the constitution of the country and it seemed unlikely to change for several reasons. He became involved by accident, with this lovely American girl and his life had many different directions in the future, many of which he had no idea they were coming and others were from conversations he had with the American lass. Where was he going with this girl and would he follow his head, his heart or her??
This story has many twists and turns along the journey with Beth, Cole and their families especially on Cole's side of events. It is a really interesting and compelling read and one that once you start you don't want to put it down, well not for long anyway. There are many directions this story engages in and just when you think it is going in this way the writer causally but purposely takes you in another direction to really make the story interesting and keeps you guessing.
It is another great Bridget B story and I really do enjoy her writing very much, must confess this is the first of this series that I have read but my appetite has been well and truly watered by her many other books I have read. I find her writing never disappoints me and am sure if you are a BB fan you will not be disappointed either and if you have not read any of her books then I recommend if you want some of the best get busy.
I am a member of the BB ARC club and as always we are requested to make our reviews honest and unconditional and I have not been offered any incentive or inducement to provide my honest review of Finding Home.
Happy enjoyable reading.

This book was another five star read, something I’ve come to expect from this author. I really enjoyed the elements of adoption that were incorporated into the story. As an adoptive mom myself, I loved how the author portrayed family as all about being loved and not about blood. Of course the love story was wonderful as well. As couples should, Cole and Beth both pushed each other to overcome fears and challenges to achieve their dreams.

In “Finding Home”, the sixth book in the series ‘Almost a Billionaire’, you find a wonderfully written clean romance novel with a happy ending that can also be read as a standalone.
This book is the story of Beth and Cole. Beth, or Elizabeth, as her parents call her, has been adopted as an infant. She has gone to school to become a beautician and is incredible in cutting people’s hair and making them beautiful. Her hobby is to play the piano and make people feel good with her music. She lives in Atlanta and sees the world in notes. Beth composes and writes her feelings down as songs. Deep down she knows something is missing but can’t put her finger on what it might be. When she finally meets her birth mom, she thinks she might have found what is missing in her live and she agrees to go on tour with her rather famous mother.
Cole has lost his father as an infant. His mother married the Prince of Liechtenstein when he was only 3 years old. He has seen a lot of tragedy in his life and has always handled it with grace. Cole has come to see what is expected of him and what he can handle but realizes that it isn’t enough as no matter how hard he tries he will never be able to ascend to the throne. His sister Holly Paisley has taken the easy way out by escaping their home and moving to Atlanta. Cole still stuck in Liechtenstein is trying to find himself and see a future he can live with.
When the path of Beth and Cole cross, they are both at a time in their life where all they try to do is determining their future. Will they be able to help each other to see what is needed to find their way home and even be able to define what actually is home?
Bridget E Baker once again has blown me away with her incredible writing style. While reading this book I was enthralled, I laughed, I cried, I giggled, I got angry, and I was clenching my teeth hoping for the correct outcome. The way this book describes details and takes care to notice the little things makes you open your eyes. I have never been to Liechtenstein, the home of Cole, but I will put it on my bucket list for sure. The fact that Bridget E Baker takes the time to do the research, to ensure that her information is correct, is what makes her an auto buy for me. If you like a very entertaining romance novel that is written in a way to keep you captivated this is the book for you as with any of the books written by Bridget E Baker.

A gorgeous, inspirational, upbeat romance
5 stars overall, 5 stars story, 5 stars narration
This fifth book in the series was just as brilliant, vivacious, and addictive as the previous books. I love the characters, and I love Bridget E. Bakers’s way with a romance! In this book, we get an adventure in Europe with a female American pianist and a handsome, chivalrous European marquess. Cole is real gem of a man, with a heart of gold and a hot accent. We met him briefly in “Finding Spring” and “Finding Holly”. Beth is a regular American woman with hidden talents and underutilized intelligence. She had missed out on her opportunity to go to Julliard for college, and she has been a hairdresser and helping out her family ever since. Beth suddenly gets stranded penniless in Germany, and it came in handy that her friend Paisley is the princess of Lichtenstein. Paisley sent her step-brother Cole to go pick up Beth and let her stay at the palace. The rest is a beautiful, upbeat romance made in Lichtenstein!
I love the meet-cute between Cole and Beth, and the entire audiobook kept me riveted to its charming, lively story. I loved every minute of it. There was a little angst from Beth and Cole’s personal problems, but everything was solved before the happy ending. Even the minor characters are vivid and add to the story. This “Almost a Billionaire” series never fails to cheer me up and entertain me. I totally recommend the entire series to everyone who likes low-steam (just kissing) contemporary romance. If you’ve never listened to Bridget E. Baker’s books, you are missing out! Also, Jennifer Jill Araya and Connor Crais delivered another flawless performance. This narrator team is amazing!

Cole is not the heir or the spare - he's the step-son of the Hereditary Prince of Liechtenstein, who he has called, dad, since he was three years old when his mother married Hans-Michael. But Cole is not a quitter - he has taken on the job of keeping the family foundation above water for the past several years when his dad's eyesight became a problem. The real problem is that the job can never be his real job as he is not Hans-Michael's true heir. He must decide what to do and comes to the conclusion he must move on and get a real job away from the family. But without an heir to run the foundation (Noel passed away 10 years ago and Holly (Paisley) does not want to rule) - the decision opens the way for his Uncle Franz to take over.
Meanwhile - back in Atlanta - Beth is just finishing her day job (cosmetologist) and heading to her piano playing gig at a local restaurant. Little does she know she will meet her birth mom and possibly the opportunity of a lifetime.
When circumstances change for Beth and Paisley insists that Cole make a detour on his trip to pick up Beth - everything might just change again. . . for both of them.
There is so much more to this book and I tend to rattle on in my reviews - so I will will just say this. . .Adopted or not - Cole and Beth find out what real family is and what true love really is...
Read this book - this series - and as I've said before, you won't be disappointed.

Finding Home is book six in the Finding Series. I have loved every book in this series, and this book did not disappoint. This audiobook is narrated by Jennifer Jill Araya and Connor Crais.
Cole because a part of Liechtenstein's royal family when he was three years old. To him, the King of Liechtentstein has always been his father. According to royal law in order to rule the country you must be a blood descendant of the King. Cole never even knew his real father. Beth gave up her dream of going to Julliard due to a family emergency and never looked back until one day fateful day she meets her birth mom who just so happens to be a famous singer.
Connor Crais sustains a remarkable "English" accent with a hint of German in it throughout the whole story. Jennifer is also amazing with all of her accents she portrays throughout the novel! Both narrators have been quite remarkable with all the various accents they have portrayed throughout this entire series!
Bridget has written another sweet, heartwarming and emotional romance set in the Finding world. I love seeing all the character's relationships grow! I love how Bridget links past characters to this story as well. Bridget has this amazing ability to create characters that leave a last impression on your heart and mind. Overall, I loved Cole and Beth's story! Looking forward to more in this series.

This is my first book in this series. Now, I will look forward to reading the rest of them. This book is a clean, wonderfully romantic story about Cole and Beth.
Without giving away the story. . . Beth finds herself in Europe lost, alone and having the worst day of her life. She calls a friend for help. The friend sends her older brother, Cole, to rescue Beth. When he arrives, he is all kinds of handsome and not really happy to have been called upon to change his plans to rescue his sister's friend. Cole and Beth begin a friendship that turns into more.
Both Cole and Beth are a little lost. Is it possible for them to provide a safe place to land for each other. Will they become each other's "home"?
This was a beautiful story. I found myself cheering them on and hoping that their relationship would work out and they would both get everything they wanted. The secondary characters were wonderful and well-developed, adding depth to the story.
I was given an arc copy of this book and I willingly offer my honest review.

Beth and Prince Cole's Musical Love! 3.0***** Spoiler Alert
Beth Graham, musically, adopted sister of Rob's, met her musically famous bio-mom and joined her on her Euro tour, where she learnt to appreciate her adopted parents and the support and unconditional love they gave her. She met Cole, Paisley's older half brother who rescued her, and provided her the opportunity to perform at Adler's Hotel and the village square in Liechtenstein, his Princely family's home, her songs and to earn extra cash. She encourage him to use his citizenry to amend the laws so he can official continue to rule and benefit his people. Yep they created their HEA, with plans to stay in Europe, while Rob and Brekka and Paisley and James had kids.
Fair plot with a fairy tale ending, still puzzled as to how Cole knew she was on tour, unless he had surveillance on her. The theme money does not buy you happiness flowed. A Meh-Read!

Finding Home
I really enjoyed this story. Rebecca was an adopted child and she loved playing in the piano and was very good at playing. She had an usual call from unknown number p, but decided to answer anyway. It was her biological mother and she told Becca that she had been trying to find her. Her mother was a famous singer and she heard Becca playing and met with and talked her into going to Europe to play for her since her piano player was pregnant and couldn’t travel for a while. After she got to Europe, the show was cancelled. Becca was stuck, little or no money, and was desperate. She called her friend Holly, to see if she could visit for a few days. Holly was glad to hear from her and was sending her brother to pick her up. His name was Cole, and they have some struggles to get together. Great story, you will enjoy this one.

We get to see more of Rob’s unassuming little sister, Beth, in this book. She reminds me of my fun/awkward baby sister. The missing puzzle piece, the baby of four. So I really loved this story. Beth was content enough in her life as a hair stylist with her weekly piano gig. In the far back of her mind she had been searching for something else, a belonging, someone she had hoped would want her. She expected that to be her birth mother when she showed up, but that dream blew up almost as quickly as it had appeared. Thank goodness for her friend Paisley! She steps in and changes the winds of fate just enough to help improve Beth’s hair, immediate outlook, and turns out, even her life. Beth and Cole both mature throughout some very large events in their lives and manage to find the true meaning of home, together.

I'm gradually getting through this series, but I love that even though it's been a while since I read the previous books, the series characters are memorable enough that I don't really need a refresher. I really liked the premise of this story. Stories about royals aren't usually my favorites, but this one felt a little more realistic and believable, and I think it's because it was set in a real country (Lichtenstein), and their opulence and lives weren't overblown. I liked the story of 2 adopted people finding home and belonging, and I felt like Beth's rise in musical fame was relatable and interesting. The whole series is clean and sweet, no bad language, but really good story lines and character development.

I enjoyed this series in audio, mostly through my library's Hoopla app.
It has some greatly flawed but good characters, some that seemed bad but were redeemed by love and personal growth later in the series. Kids were great characters in this series, plus pets were included, thought I would have loved more. Some of the plot directions were surprising such as the Europe connections and the Santa legend. Some book endings seemed a bit rushed at the time, but then the characters recurred throughout the series, adding to their stories. I learned a little about living with paralysis, and walked in an author's shoes for a short distance. Glad I finally got this series.
Same review added to each book.

I loved Finding Home, the sixth book in Bridget E. Baker’s Almost a Billionaire series! I think this is my new favorite in the series. The relationship that grew between Beth and Cole is very unique in the way they could relate to each other so well through their mutually having been adopted and both having similar feelings of not belonging, or missing something. I liked their support of each other and also their desires of being liked for who they were. The ending was perfect and the romance was sweet and clean. A great contemporary romance story!

My favourite of the series, even if I must admit, it was difficult to make a favourite list. Every book was beautiful so far. I love how the author linked every book to the past ones and at the same times she never repeats herself and brings us brand new stories. Once again, she talks about real issues that affect people in the real world. the narrators were both brilliant. i love both voices and they were able to switch between characters very easily and effortlessly. they acted both in a very believable way. i have received a free copy of this audiobook and i am leaving an honest review in exchange.

Once again I've found my "favorite" book in this series. LOL! They are all so good!
I fell in love with Cole in the previous book -- Finding Holly. I adored how he loved his family and how they loved him. I was moved by is unwavering support and service to his father and his country. Cole is one of the most self-less and humble characters I've ever met on the pages of a book, and so I was thrilled to find he had his own story in this series.
I had my moments with Beth. I understood her desire to know more about her beginnings, but I felt she was harsh at times or at least inconsiderate of her adoptive parents who loved her unconditionally. She was also a bit blind when it came to her biological mother and her actions and attitude. In spite of that, my heart hurt for Beth as she found herself in difficult circumstances and as her expectations were shattered.
I loved watching her friendship with Cole develop. Shook my head and rolled my eyes at the two of them and their lack of communication and honesty with each other. And was thankful that B E Baker had a HEA coming for these 2 despite the rough and winding path it took to get there.

I loved how characters from previous stories weave in and out of the current stories. Beth (Elizabeth) feels like she has drifted through her life ever since she found out she was adopted. Then, a stranger calls her and identifies herself as Beth’s birth mother and invites her to Europe to perform as her pianist while she tours. One event leads to another. She meets Cole at one of the worst times but he is smitten. They become friends, not sure of the other’s feelings, yet love wins out in the end. Each drew strength and confidence from the other and got their HEA.

I love Cole and Beth's story! I am not adopted but my father was. I am grateful for the birth mother who chose to give birth to him and give him to loving parents that could not conceive children. No matter how selfish Beth's birth parents were, they gave her a gift: The gift of parents that chose her to be their daughter. Thank you B. E. Baker for helping us see inside the heads and hearts of both the adopted and the parents and siblings that adopt them. This story has wonderfully complex and realistic characters. I highly recommend it.

This is a clean romance - no steamy scenes. The characters had depth and were interesting. Adoption is a big theme in this story which I love. The storyline does seem somewhat unrealistic (e.g., meeting birth mother and immediately going on tour with her, suddenly becoming a music star), but it offers a great escape from reality which is oftentimes why I read. The relationships were all believable though.

Cute love story from a couple who have been adopted and have always wanted to belong. They fight to succeed and fight for what they want in a family business and in spite of the terrible person who gave her up for adoption. Not thinking they were worthy enough for love on their own, they both seek out to succeed in what they think the other one would want them to be. Full Novel, no cliffhanger and a HEA.

Being an adopted child myself I found this story very interesting. As always Bridget E. Baker has given us an interesting story line, well developed characters, humor, romance and a bit of conflict, mental, not physical. Cole definitely took a step of faith. I was glad to read that we would at some time get Ethan’s story.

Another winner! This book captured my attention right from the start & held it clear to the end! I love how a theme runs through each book in this series, & this one for me was dyslexia. This was addressed with sensitivity, & didn’t detract from the romance! I’m looking forward to the next book in this series!

Another great book in the Finding Home Series
I loved that Cole and Beth got their own story. The way the different novels in this series blend together is delightful. Music is a key element in this story (as are puzzles with missing pieces) and is something that I love so this story resonated with me more than most.

Home is not a place but a person that you feel safe with...
Another one for the books! I know that the next one will be the last in the series but you know, dear Bridget, there are novellas....

I didn't think I was going to like it, because I was getting tired of the "Prince" romance stories, but I loved this one. It has a little different take on it. The story is beautifully written with well-developed character throughout story and series. I highly recommend this series.

Loved loved loved Cole and Beth's story. She isn't a character in much of the series but I really like her. She is down to earth, talented and loving. Cole is also down to earth and loving. They make a great couple and the book is a wonderful clean read.
