Finding You

When Lillian arrived in Drake island twenty years ago she was single,broke and pregnant. She has twins. She then meets the very rich Trey. Emmy has had a hard life before Blake showed up and she had Hope. I like the name Hope. Emmy is soon to be married. Lillian is to make an offer on her saloon building

This is the second book in the Drake isle series and it is as awesome as the first one. The characters were sweet and that kept me hooked up till the end. It is well written, from its overall writing style to editorial quality to it's formatting and structure. Also, the story is very thorough, easy to read having simple language with an ease of understanding and the pages just fly. These are the things I like the most about the book. The book cover is catchy and so is the story.
I would recommend this book to people who love romance. Just go for it.

Finding You is a great read. The scenery on an island symbolizes the separation from bitter events and memories to choices to create a better life, a safe haven filled with friends who become family. The heroine arrives alone as a poor, pregnant teen with twins. Almost two decades later, the twins are young adults, and it’s time for the single mother to chose to enjoy the independent natures she instilled in her twins. She takes steps to create her own new beginnings. When obstacles come along, as they do in real life, she faces them and regroups. She firms her roots in the island and finds “cougar” love in the process. The added decades old mystery that shut down the old college that is finally reopening is a great subplot! To be continued and hopefully solved in the next book. . .

“ Drake Isle makes everything more magical than it could ever be on the mainland .”

Welcome back to Drake Isle, where you can smell the ocean air and feel the salt air on your face.
Welcome back to the people that make this place so unique !

Lillian arrived on this Island 20 years ago , alone and pregnant with twins, with friends and determination she built a nice life for her and her children.
Trey arrived years ago, alone on a scholarship to the Islands college, leaving his past behind him.
Trey lives in a world that is foreign to Lillian , but Trey will do anything to win Lillian.
This book is about Second chances, falling in love, Island mysteries, great people, fantastic views!
This is one of my favorite series, written as only Allie Boniface can write !

A very well written story about two people who have been hurt in the past and coming to grips with the hurt they’ve experienced. I loved Lilian and Trey, and really believed in their relationship despite the 8 year age gap, the author put a lot of barriers in their way but they overcame everyone and learnt to believe in each other. The story of Piper who died, has gotten more interesting and I believe the teacher who has moved the island might know more than he’s saying. Can’t wait for the next one

Thanks Netgalley for allowing me to read this book. This is the second book in the Drake isle series. Sparks fly when Lillian who is a single mother of twins meets Trey who is enjoying his carefree lifestyle. THis book was well written and i cant wait to read the next book in the series.

Lillian & Trey seem to be like two ships crisscrossing each other in the ocean and never connecting for one reason or another! They truly have places in each other’s hearts, but something or someone seems to keep them apart.

For a lighthearted romance this is actually a very enjoyable and captivating storyline. It has intrigue with twists and turns that you don’t see coming and they are not as predictable as you think. I love the characters and they are fresh and spark with life.

I would read more books from this author and recommend this book!

I received an advanced copy from NetGalley and these are my willingly given thoughts and opinions.

Lilian, a single mother who run a hair salon found herself to be attracted to Trey, a successful businessman. Lilian giving her background, staying in a small town, is skeptical on her attraction to Trey. What more this is the only attraction that she found herself unable to walk away from. Trey have his secret. It is also where he is unable to commit himself, not until he met Lilian. There are many knots tangled in his life too. Just like Lilian, he wonder too whether this relationship between them will work.

It was a good read for me and the storyline have kept me going into the night.

A great story. I was sucked into this book by the first chapter. I couldn't put down my Kindle until I finished the book. Can't wait for the next one.

Lillian Santini has a rough life until the day she accidentally gets on the wrong ferry and ends up in Drake Isle. That was 20 years ago, when she was pregnant, alone, and down to her last dollar. Today she's raised her twins and owns a successful beauty salon all in her own. She has no interest in settling down again or risking her heart. Then she meets Trey.

Trey is a billionaire, his different lifestyle, not to mention his age 8 years younger than her, doesn't appeal to her. That is until he starts letting his guard down and sharing his secrets. He comes from a childhood similar to hers. She begins to fall for him.

Until his old life plays catches up and threatens to destroy everything he's built with Lil.

A must read!

This is the second book in this series, but it can be read as a standalone easily because I didn't have the opportunity to read the first book yet, but I intend to based on my enjoyment of this book. Very descriptive narrative of the island that was the setting for these two lost souls. This was a sweet and thought-provoking read that I enjoyed and found hard to put down. I voluntarily read and reviewed an ARC for NetGalley.

A gentle story of finding love a second time around. Lil has had a difficult time of things in her life, being a young single mom and starting her own business, but has done well for herself. Trey had a very rough start in life, but is now running his own company and is a millionaire. They meet when Trey comes for a wedding to the island on which Lil lives and where Trey went to college. Sparks fly and then they don’t. There’s a lot of back and forth in the relationship, especially on Lil’s part. I felt like we saw more of how Trey felt about Lil than Lil’s interest in Trey. She seemed slow to be invested, and didn’t display the same level of interest and commitment we see from Trey. The descriptions of the island and small town living were delightful. It made me want to move there. Although the ending felt a bit rushed, things were tied up nicely and set up for the next book in the series. I received a complimentary copy of this book from NetGalley. This is my freely given, honest review.

Lillian Santini has lived on Drake Island for the past twenty years. She arrived on the island when she was six months pregnant and desperate, but found good friends and has a good life. She has raised her twins, Sarah and Matt, while opening her own successful beauty salon. When she meets Trey Jeffries, her feelings for him are totally unexpected. He is somewhat younger than her, but he pursues her in a slow and gentle way. Trey knew from the first time he saw Lillian that she could be the one. He has never wanted commitment of any kind, but now his thoughts go to Lillian and a life with her. A beautiful and sensual story of a younger man and an older woman…a woman who never expected what life still had in store for her. I received an advance review copy at no cost and without obligation for an honest review. (by paytonpuppy)

This was a quick read. Pleasant romance with interesting back stories. I skipped over the intimate details. I was sorry to see the mystery is a cliff hanger. I do look forward to reading the next one. I have not read book one. Thanks to the publisher for providing a copy via NetGalley.

This is book two in The Drake Island Series and it is Lillian and Trey's story and what an emotional story it is. I really enjoyed reading this book and I really conected with the characters. I can't wait to continue this series.

Lovely romantic story. A little different to your typical romance.
Older woman, struggles her whole life, raised twins on her own on a wonderful Island community.
She meets a younger man and 5hey fall in love. But there are things in their way, keeping them apart.
Lovely light story. Looking forward to reading the next book. Thankyou.

I enjoyed reading Finding You, as we spend a summer on Drake Island. Our story revolves around Trey and Lillian who have plenty of chemistry and plenty of baggage. Both are settling in life until they meet, yet opposites find a way to attract. The island is simple living and a small town at its finest, and Lillian is doing well with her kids, shop, and good friends. Trey is a mainland or city guy, lived on the island during his college years, self-made. With each other, life is better. While Trey and Lillian are overcoming their pasts we have secondary characters who are very present in the story, plus the undercurrent of a mystery. As life on the island moves on we get more to the Piper mystery and Sebastion returns to the College, not a fan of him. Looking forward to the next book and getting another peek at what is happening on the island.

Thank you to NetGalley and DFM Publishing for the advanced copy in exchange for my honest review.
