I enjoyed “White Hot” by the same author- so I decided to give this book a try. It was okay. The mystery and how it tied together with the plane crash was definitely weird. Not something I would sit down and read but good for listening to.

Finding You
3 Stars

This is my second attempt at reading Neggers' works, and while she is a competent writer and her plotlines have potential, there is something missing. In this case, the romance does not fully live up to expectations, and the stalker storyline is predictable.

To begin with, there is a significant imbalance in the amount of backstory for the heroine as compared to the hero. In contrast to Cozie, whose childhood and family life are well-detailed, there is very little information about Daniel other than his family's wealth and his dare-devil nature (which is not on display in the book).

Daniel and Cozie are both likable characters, but their attraction is not believable, and the fact that Daniel is lying about his identity puts a damper on the relationship.

In terms of the suspense, the identity of Cozie's stalker is obvious, and the motive is convoluted and non-sensical. There is also no sense of closure as readers do not learn what happened to the villain after they were caught.

Overall, this book confirms that Neggers is not the writer for me.
