PRETTY INSTINCT (FINALLY FOUND 1) by S.E. HALLThis is truly a beautiful story. I thought at first this will be a smooth sailing, all giddy kind of story but it's not. It was so much more. It was about love, friends and family. My first S.E. Hall book and after I read this one I regret not reading other of her works in my TBR list. The writing was fantastic. She nailed it and gave her readers more than what they are expecting or should I say (as in my case) without any expectation about this book.The premise of the story is simple and even the blurb is short and you would not expect this story to be so good and beautiful but it was. I didn't even have any expectations when I was about to start this book but halfway through the story, I was blown away. A band on tour, Liz with her best friends Rhett and Jarrett plus her uncle who is also their driver and her adorable brother, Conner is in need of  a bass player asap. One stop and they found him, Cannon who gladly agrees to tag along and play with em since his fiancee just dropped him off the park with nothing with him. Not even a cellphone.A tour that suddenly turned into something Liz did not expect. Her feelings and emotions are suddenly blurred since Cannon joined em. They have something in common but they also compliments each other with their differences. Cannon is someone who is polite, sweet, caring and someone Liz didn't expect she'll have feelings for. She has a lot on her plate and the last thing she needs is to be attracted to someone. Cannon makes her want to want more for herself and he makes her open up her feelings and frustrations and at the same time he can calm her. Days of spending more time with each other, Cannon sees the unselfish love Liz has for her family inside the tour bus they are living in and he wants to be someone Liz can hold on to. Someone she can rely on and Cannon is not subtle to let Liz know his feelings.The bond and the interaction they have throughout the story shows how opposite yet similar they are and how much they are attracted to each other. I like the balance they give to each other and how much love there is between them though Liz is doubtful, Cannon eventually won her heart and made her rely onto him (in a good way). I love the fact that Cannon is frank and doesn't hold back when it comes to what he feels towards Liz and how he shows her that she can rely to him. That for once, she is not the one who people rely to.The story is quite long but it didn't feel dragging and there was not even a dull moment in the story. Every chapter you get the whole thing and not less and the story just keeps getting better and better til the very end. What I like most about this book is that it's not just about romantic love but also about family and how a person will do anything to protect the person she loves most.S.E. Hall showed that in Liz's character and how strong a person with so much love can be. And not only she created a main character that is selfless, she also created other characters that will make you want to know em more and the story behind why they are the way they are and what they want as a person. And since this is a series, I am sure we will get more Jarrett and Rhett in the future.A story not just about romance and love but more about family, forgiveness and acceptance. Finally Found will make your heart swell with joy and will make you want more. Superb story from S.E. Hall and I promise you will not be disappointed.** Also posted on my TUMBLR account & AMAZON
