**** I received an ARC copy of this book in exchange for an honest review ***I Found You, is Jane Lark's first attempt at writing a New Adult book, and after reading it, I was impressed and I really enjoyed it. It definitely has all the elements of what I like when it comes to reading a New Adult book.While out running one night across Manhattan Bridge Jason Macinlay meets and Rachel Shears, a girl who thinks she has nothing left to live for. When Jason offers her his help and Rachel takes it, it turns into something much more something that they both didn't expect."I didn't know Rachel, but I did know she'd got herself in a mess, somehow, and she needed help" ~ Jason"There was something about him that made me feel safer than I'd felt in an entire year, or maybe longer' ~ RachelI liked Rachel she had an air of mystery about her, and I curious to know what, and why lead her to be on that bridge that night. As the story unfolded, and I discover more about her childhood, her past, her lifestyle, and her secret my heart went out to her, and I was glad that Jason had found her that night."I felt good with him. I could even fell normal with him. In a way I hadn't felt normal for years"~ RachelJason was a good guy, and I really liked him. He was kind, sweet, protective, and caring. I liked the way he was with Rachel at the start and how he went with his own feelings and ignoring the pressures he was getting from his family and friends. I loved the way he always stood by her even when things got tough."We'd begun something tonight and for the first time in my life, I'd had no idea when I was going or what would happen next? But I'd got on a roller coaster I didn't want to stop. I couldn't get off."~ JasonRachel and Jason were great characters. I liked the connection they had, the friendship that first develop. When it turns into something more it isn't insta love, but their feelings are intense, and things in the relationship do move fast, and that's mainly to do with the circumstances that they face."We're right for each other, we both know it. So don't start fighting it, and for god sake do not regret me. I'm not regretting anything. I know us getting together has been sudden, too sudden to know each other properly. But so what. I know this is right, Rachel. Don't you? I'm not wrong, am I" ~ JasonRachel and Jason are sweet together, good together. They find each other easy to talk too; and even thought both come from very different backgrounds, different worlds they are comfortable around each other, and they have what each other needed both physically and emotionally."We were probably the most unlikely couple; if I could call us that. Our meeting had been accidental, and we were poles apart. But I wanted to see if could work, if I could succeed in like with a nice guy" ~ RachelI wanted to take every hurt from her. The emotion was a living being in my chest, it roared and breathed fire and grew hungry with need. ~ JasonJason gives Rachel the stability and the unconditional love that she has never had from anyone before. Rachel makes Jason take life less serious, and brings his more carefree side. I definitely got that soul mate feeling with these two. The attraction and chemistry between Rachel and Jason is hot, and lead to some steamy sexy scenes."I'd changed. I know I had. I hadn't quite yet found my new fit, but this good guy, had rubbed off on me" ~ RachelI enjoy the storyline it was sweet, romantic, heartbreak and heart warming. The drama; angst, and twist and turns a kept the story interesting. Rachel and Jason do go through some obstacles due to family, a fiancée, and an ex, and I couldn't help but root for them.Told from both points of view, I liked the author style of switching between Rachel and Jason during some of the intense scenes, so you get to see what they are both thing at that moment, their feelings for each other, their fears and worries. Both are emotional thinkers, and I like that as their emotions pulled on my emotions.There were secondary characters that added to the story, and while they annoyed me with some of their actions, at the same time I could understand them.Overall I really enjoyed I Found You, and while I guess some of the twist there were some that I didn't. I would also say a couple of parts I find myself wanting some more information, but that being said it was only a few and it didn't take away my enjoyment of the book as I was hooked from the beginning.I liked Jane Lark's writing style I found it really engaging. I felt the story flowed well I really liked the ending I have to say I was a little anxious for a while as the story could have gone two ways, and I was pleased with the way it went no cliffhanger just a sweet epilogue.I have not read any of Jane's previous books, but after reading this one, I will definitely be added them and future ones, which include some more NA to my TBR list. I recommend this book as I think New Adult fans won't be disappointedI Loved the cover
