About this ebook

Hudson

With no single females among the bridal party, I expect my best buddy’s wedding to be a bust. Then the beautiful bartender asks me if I could use something stiff.

Trust me, “getting something stiff” is the least of my worries. One touch of Jade’s silky-soft hand, and there’s a zing, just like in the movies. Somehow, I find the magic words that make her mine for the night.

And, just like that, I have the whole world in the palms of my hands. Figures that right when I meet the girl of my dreams, karma drops the other shoe.

Jade

Everything about Hudson—his pale green eyes, his charisma, his body—pulls me toward him. He’s different from the other men I’ve dated. One touch sends heat racing under my skin. And before the night is over, he sends my body up in flames that last well past dawn.

This one-night stand has second date written all over it. Except tomorrow I’m boarding a plane to study abroad. For three years. A fantasy-come-true infatuation like ours can’t last that long.

Can it?

Ratings and reviews

Oh my stars, Hudson Drago and Jade Vance are two broken souls who find each other. If anyone deserved to find love and happiness, then it was these two. I love friends to lovers stories, add in it was written by one of my favourite authors, Claudia Burgoa and it was a win/win for me. What starts off as a one night stand, quickly morphs into so much more. However, outside influences cause complications. Both Hudson and Jade have baggage and they both need to come to terms with it.

Finding My Reason is a very emotional, heart wrenching and intense story. It was hard to read/listen to this book because there is so much anguish, misunderstanding and unwillingness to bend. I found myself frustrated with both Jade and Hudson but understand them standing their ground. Jason Clarke and Lidia Dornet do a fantastic job with the narration. They bring so much emotion and depth to each of these characters. I received a complimentary copy and I am leaving my honest review.

I've read and/or listened to a fair number of Claudia Burgoa's books, and I've mentioned her characters and the journey they have to take to get their HEA. Well, Hudson and Jade take the cake when it comes to a journey - a journey away from each other, a journey to each other, a journey together... I'm sure you get the point. Anyway, their long and winding path is full of feels. Seriously, I think Claudia covered the whole range of emotions with this one.
