Musings
Found in You is the second book in the Fixed
trilogy. It is another riveting read. I am so glad I found these books. I am
enjoying them immensely. This second book continues the story of Alayna and
Hudson’s complicated relationship. Both characters have a great many issues
they are learning to cope with caused by events that happened to them in the
past.
Hudson takes Alayna to his penthouse. He has never
brought a woman there before, other than family and Celia (she decorated it for
him). He begins to realize how deep his feelings are becoming for Alayna.
Alayna feels their relationship is moving too fast
and tries to slow it down, but Hudson is like a steamroller, and since he is as
manipulative as his mother, although not in a mean way, he convinces Alayna to
move in with him.
As Hudson and Alayne’s secrets unfold, will they
destroy their budding relationship, or show them they can weather any storm
that comes their way?
Hudson Pierce was raised in a completely
dysfunctional family. His mother is vindictive and manipulative and is
determined that Hudson marry her best friend’s daughter. There is a huge scene
in this one that brings the truth to light on an issue that has determined the
course of her determination. I can’t wait to see how this plays out in the last
book. Hudson is beginning to acknowledge
how deep his feelings are for Alayna. I’m glad to see he doesn’t seem to be
running in fear.
Alayna chooses to confide in Celia Werner, not a
wise move on her part, and it definitely blows up in her face, threatening her
fragile relationship with Hudson. She has such trust issues with men.
Unfortunately, she doesn’t have them with women, which causes her a great deal
of trouble in this second book. Celia is as manipulative as Hudson’s mother and
this comes out loud and clear.
Now, let’s talk about the erotic scenes in this
book. They are gritty and raw most of the time, but Hudson can also be tender.
I like the contrast between the ones where they are combustible and the ones
where they are making love. I think it shows growth in their relationship. Any
way you look at it, the scenes are extremely erotic and highly entertaining.
I am still struggling with the narration by Carly
Robins. At times, I have a difficult time figuring out who is speaking with any
tags to go along with the dialogue. Her voice tone just is not varied enough
for my taste. However, she does read with a great deal of emotion.
If you enjoy stories with a lot of emotional angst
and complex personalities, then you will want to add this series to your
reading list. I am loving it. Happy reading!
