I will start off by saying that if you haven't read the Bad Boys series yet you are seriously missing out! Finding Us was a brilliant addition to the series and I fell in love with all of the characters even more. This is book 3 in the series, focused on Tate and Low, and can be read as a standalone but I recommend reading the first two to have a better background of the secondary characters in this story.We know from the beginning that Low is hiding something...something big, dark, and dangerous. I couldn't wait to find out what it was and man was I shocked when it all came out! Low has lied and deceived everyone around her. She has spent the last six years running from her past and never expected to find the amazing group of friends that she did when she settled in to this college town. She also didn't expect to fall in love. While it may sound like she is a bad person, she is really just a loyal and protective person, and told those lies to protect her loved ones. She is strong and fierce, and a total bad *ss when she has to be. She doesn't take crap from anyone! But this is not the life she wants. She wants to be free from her past; be a normal girl in a normal relationship. And she needs to decide if she should follow her heart thats says go all in with Tate or follow her head which is telling her to back up and keep him safe.Tate, ***sigh***. He is just so amazing! He is so sweet and loving, caring, and protective and then totally alpha when it counts the most. He sees through the mask that Low wears everyday and he wants her just the same. He made it clear that he wouldn't push her but that he was there when she was ready. He worships Low and does everything he can to make her realize just how much she means to him. And man does he prove it!Finding Us is a captivating read full of suspense and secrets that will have you glued from start to finish. There was of course the WTF moments but nothing prepared me for the climax of the story. I actually messaged SK Hartley and said "Are you freaking kidding me right now, i can't believe this!!!" My heart was in my throat and I think i forgot to breathe. Yes, it was that crazy! And then it just kept going! A very well written, enjoyable book that I highly recommend. I loved that the whole gang was included in the story. The twins are absolutely hysterical as always, Neva and Logan are still very much in love, and Dex and Trix....well they are still up to their old ways. The banter between them makes me laugh! And Ace, man do I love him and I can only hope that we will hear more from him too. ;)I gave Finding Us 5 stars and it was so well deserved. I am a huge SK Hartley fan and am anxiously waiting to see what she will come up with for her next book which is Angel's story....I have a feeling that it's going to be an emotional one!
