Finding Serenity is book two in the Seeking Serenity series by Eden Butler. There is one full length novel (Chasing Serenity- Declan & Autumn’s story), as well as one companion novella (Behind the Pitch- Declan’s POV in Chasing Serenity). I highly suggest reading, at least Chasing Serenity, both of these before beginning Finding Serenity. Behind the Pitch is not a necessity to understand the story but it gives readers another side to Declan that they wouldn’t be introduced to otherwise.Finding Serenity is Mollie and Vaughn’s story and what a story it is! Mollie is one tough as hell woman. She’s independent and despite a tough situation, she never falters. Being born into the world of bikers, she was taught to defend herself. She just never realized exactly how much she’d need those instincts to keep her going, until it all began to crumble.Vaughn Winchester is a Marine. Just because you leave the service does not mean that you stop being a Marine. When he meets Mollie, he isn’t ready for the undeniable chemistry between them. But, there is a job he has to accomplish before he can even think of going there. When things begin to heat up their peaceful serenity is shattered and both of them have to ftheir greatest demons.I have no idea how Eden managed to do it once again. Somehow she was able to make her sequel even better than the first book. I think it’s partly due to the fact that she’s managed to combine hot rugby players, nerds and now hot Marines into the Seeking Serenity series. I mean, you’re drooling just thinking about that right? I knew it!I’m literally at a loss for words, I’m still reeling from this book. Finding Serenity definitely has a slightly...darker edge to it than the previous ones. I absolutely love Mollie and Vaughn, we were mildly introduced to both of them previously. We go through the ups and downs with Mollie as she treads through her present situation with Vaughn. Mollie is a bulldog when it comes to something she wants. There are a few curve-balls throughout this book that made me want to reach into my kindle and strangle somebody! I was muttering like a bloody crazy woman about Marines and their stubborn a** personalities.Finding Serenity is full of suspense, steamy sex scenes and enough Marine action to make your toes curl. You will instantly fall in love with both of these amazing characters and their heartfelt situations. Eden will make you feel everything, especially a Marine’s demons. Everyone has a story and each will eventually find their Serenity.
