Dilek VT's Reviews > Found Underneath

“Lost in Between” is the first part of the duet “Finding Me” and it ends in a cliffhanger. “Found Underneath” is the conclusion to the duet.

“Finding Me” is the story of Shaw and Willow, whose relationship begins on a contract and then, goes far beyond their plans and imagination.

This second book starts where the first book ends and the story slowly unfolds until all secrets are revealed.



The pace of this second book is also as slow as the first one but this book is also as hot and emotional as the first book with adorable characters, all of which make the book worth reading although it drags.



I need to reiterate that the main problem of this beautiful duet is its unnecessary length for me. This duet could easily have been one book with 350-400 pages and it would be a 5-star read for me. However, when it drags so much with its slow pace and repetitive content, it becomes boring at certain times no matter how sweet a love story theirs is.

Still, the story was heartwarming and I enjoyed it. Let me warn you that you shouldn’t compare this duet with Black Swan Affair from the same writer as this one doesn’t come close to its magnificence.

SAFETY - Cheating or sharing ?
Nope, Shaw doesn't cheat on her ever and he doesn't share Willow with anyone - even the idea of sharing her makes him crazy although it was something he always did in the past!

“You are not like anyone. You have changed me. You are all mine, you understand that? All fucking mine. Tell me you believe me.”

Believe that I wouldn’t let Noah touch one hair on your head, let alone hear the way your breath hitches when you unravel.

“I’m trying,” she whispers. Her hands now come to my forearms, curling around them. “I really am.”

Some more quotes from it...

Sometimes you find yourself in the middle of nowhere and sometimes in the middle of nowhere you find yourself.



But how do I tell her she’s the one I never saw coming? That she’s moved in. Taken up residence inside me without my knowledge, without my permission. Without even trying.
How do I make her understand I see something in her I’ve not seen in another woman? Hell, it’s something I never wanted to see in a woman before.
Me.

Our lives unfold a certain way for reasons that aren’t always apparent to us until the time is right.

In her, I found what was lost in me.
She’s color, she’s sun, she’s rain, she’s earth, she’s breath, she’s warmth, she’s salt, she’s sweet. She’s life. She’s mine.
Without Willow, I am nothing.
A ghost of the man I thought I was.
