Finding You is book three in the Destination Love series. It can be read as a standalone. I didn't realized that it was part of a series until after I finished reading it.

Jane Smith was adopted and unlike the rest of her family. She wakes up one day and feels off. She ends up booking a trip to Greece to find her birth father. That right there hooked me to the story. Jane is a great character. She's a little unpredictable and funny. My heart went out to Jane is her journey to find her place in the world. All she know about her dad is that he was a tour guide in Greece named Dimitri. Well Dimitri is a common name in Greece. Jane meets a Dimitri that's a tour guide right away. This Dimitri is not her dad, instead he a super sexy guy near her age. Dimitri is a good guy. He's definitely swoon-worthy. This is one story that swept me away and I really enjoyed reading it.

*An ending that made the book*

Finding You is a cute romantic comedy wherein a rigid heroine is repeatedly forced from her comfort zone during a spur of the moment trip to Greece in search of her birth father. My favorite aspect of this series of standalones is the different settings they take place in. Each heroine from a lively group of friends meets her Mr. Right while abroad, and while they’re falling in love the reader gets treated to descriptions of the beautiful surrounding location. As a person who loves to travel and explore new places, getting to do so through a book is fantastic. Although Miss Watson always includes vivid imageries, Finding You has that and more. The hero is a tour guide in the region, so it fits perfectly with the travel and exploration theme. This time the reader is treated to more than the resort experience in a beautiful locale. There’s tourist details, historical insights, and many glimpses of the Greek culture that made this a fun and interesting immersive read.

The book plays out much like a made for TV romantic comedy. And while I enjoyed the descriptions of Santorini, the romance and plot is fairly predictable. Coupled with an overly critical heroine who exhausted me with her pessimism at times, I struggled to fully connect. The humor is largely based around random events that unfold during Janes’ travel- sometimes cultural misunderstandings, lodging issues, and extreme but unlikely mishaps, all while Jane desperately clings to her attempts to control every aspect of her life and appearance. There were many moments that were silly and left me grinning, but it was heading to a good, not great rating when the ending took a turn I hadn’t expected. The events and the subsequent discoveries pulled on my emotions, developed the characters, and made for a lovely, heart-warming conclusion. Before those final handful of chapters, I would have said that though this wasn’t my personal cup of tea, I think plenty of readers will enjoy this title and series. However, after the ending, I would most definitely recommend this title to fans of light-hearted, comedy of errors plots that includes some soul-searching moments. In fact, I just pre-purchased a copy for my mom because I think she’ll absolutely love it.

Finding You is a fun, sweet, beautiful and at times sad romance that had me right in the story with the characters from cover to cover.

I think there is a little bit of Jane in all of us. She feels different from her family, she is filled with self doubt, she feels that she doesn't fit in.

When she takes off on a whim to Greece, she definitely finds more than she bargained for. Through all kinds of chaos and catastrophe, we are taken on an adventure of a life time along with Jane.

Dimitri -it is like that scene in My Big Fat Greek Wedding - meet Nick, Nick, cousin Nick and Nicky. Every man is a Dimitri. But this Dimitri is all kinds of swoonworthy.

Ms Watson has written with such vivid imagery that I could feel myself dipping my toe in the Aegean, walking the streets filled with whitewashed yet colourful homes. I may have had a craving for gyros whilst reading.

What I wasn't expecting in this book was how heartfelt and emotional it would be. I wasn't expecting the shimmering eyes and the ache in my heart.

I really enjoyed this jaunt to Santorini

**Blog post to come on release day**

Although this story can be read as a stand-alone, I wished I had of read the first two books before this one, just so I could learn more about Jane's friends, why they have such a wonderfully strong bond of friendship and how a couple of those friends managed to achieve their own happy ever after. However, in saying that, I totally enjoyed this story, despite the fact that it's only told from the heroine's point-of-view. The way this story started had me concerned for the heroine. Why was she acting the way she is? Is something wrong with her?

As for the dialogue, it was interesting and drew me into this story, because of the heroine's back story and all that she goes through within this book. Should she stay in Greece when it seems nothing is going her way? Will she give Dimitri a chance, especially when he keeps proving himself to be a good guy? Like he did when they first met and Jane completely embarrassed herself. Moreover, I liked how Dimitri won her over with his friendliness and his desire to show her all that Greece has to offer and which makes people never want to leave. He's kind, caring, persuasive and takes her on a wonderful adventure where she does things she never thought she'd do.

Truly, Jane and Dimitri bring out the best in each other and for the first time Jane realizes how much she's closed herself off to love and how much she's isolated herself from her own family in order to protect herself. Then again, being adopted and rejected by a mother that doesn't want anything to do with her makes it understandable why Jane is the way she is. Still, she's strong and brave by going on the adventure she does, even if it doesn't end with the outcome she hoped for. I also liked that she didn't give up hope, even when it seemed her chances of finding her biological father were hopeless.

Overall, Ms. Watson has penned a really good read in this book where the chemistry between this pair was strong and had me cheering that Jane and Dimitri would be able to overcome the moment where they part ways, because of Dimitri's secret and the fact that it makes Jane believe she can no longer trust him. The way this story ended was wonderful, as Dimitri isn't about to let anything stop him from winning Jane back and if he has to use any means necessary -- such as getting help from someone close to her -- than he will. I would recommend Finding You by Jo Watson, if you enjoy holiday romances or books by authors Rachel Van Dyken, Cindy Kirk, Marina Adair or Jennifer Probst.

Finding You was a great book, this one has been my favorite of the series. It's an adventure where the main character goes to find her biological family, while on this grand adventure she finds more than she was looking for. I truly enjoyed this book, I love the author's writing style. I can't wait for more.

Fantastic story of finding yourself, finding your true love and learning about your heritage all set to a magnificent back drop of Santorini in Greece.

Some of how Jane is feeling at the start of the book, the feelings of not really fitting in with her adoptive family, reminded me of how the main character in My Big Fat Greek Wedding felt initially. Not really sure of her looks, and doesn't feel quite connected with the rest of the family.

Completely out of character for Jane she out of the blue decides to hop on a plane and find her birth father. All she knows is he is from Greece, used to work a tour guide and his name is Dimitri. If you have ever been to Greece you will know that Dimitri is a reasonably common name, and tour guides are rather plentiful too, just to give some idea of the task ahead of her.

The first greek man she meets is a Dimitri and also a tour guide/model and a ridiculously hot greek guy and from here her hormones and womanly impulses are slightly out of control. I loved how whenever Jane was nervous she would either start churning out various scientific facts, or occasionally would start rambling lots of odd things that afterwards she would be embarrassed by, but in the meantime amused me greatly.

The descriptions of Santorini match the pictures I've seen of the place, and some of the slightly more touristy things that Jane and Dimitri do, have given me some ideas for my own day on the island later this summer, when I visit on a cruise. I loved meeting Dimitri's big family, and also how he was trying his hardest to make Jane embrace her long dormant inner Greek!

Watching Jane grow in the time she is in Santorini was really enjoyable to see, and I just thoroughly enjoyed every minute of this story. This is the second of the Destination Love books I have read and am really enjoying the series and Jo Watson's writing.

Thank you so much to Netgalley and Grand Central Publishing for this copy which I have reviewed honestly and voluntarily.

I've been a fan of Jo Watson's Destination Love series ever since I read the first book, Burning Moon. She has a way of taking you both on a physical and emotional journey in her books. Each book brings to life another gorgeous setting and wonderful woman. I love that these women are friends looking for themselves, but each one's life and destination is very different. The characters' journeys to finding themselves and love are filled with so many fun and awkward moments.

Jane is as plain as her name. She's completely okay with that until her next birthday starts to sneak up on her. All of a sudden, Jane's in a tizzy. Nothing seems right until she sees a tour sign advertising a trip to Greece. Soon, Jane's on her way there to look for the birth father she's never met. His name is Dimitri and he's a local tour guide.

Nothing goes as planned when Jane arrives in Greece. Instead of meeting her father, Jane meets a completely different tour guide named Dimitri. This Dimitri is the most gorgeous man Jane's ever met. Soon, he's helping Jane look for her father and herself.

Finding You felt a little different from the first two novels in the Destination Love series. It was more serious, not quite as over the top funny. That wasn't a bad thing. Finding You dealt with some very serious emotions regarding being adopted and Jane not knowing who she was. It's a very real situation. Jo Watson mentions in her acknowledgements that she's adopted and has felt these very real emotions. I am also adopted, and could relate to what Jane was going through. I've always been secure in my adopted family, but there are moments growing up where you have to deal with who you are compared to your adopted family. Jo Watson did an outstanding job translating these feelings and needs into Jane's story. Jane had a lot of fun and interesting thing happen along her journey, but nothing was as important as her coming to terms with who she was. I really loved that part of the book.

Don't worry, there was still a ton of humorous moments in this romance. Jane had a knack for being in the wrong place at the wrong time for silly things to happen to her. I loved how Dimitri was always there, right by her side, making Jane comfortable. They had such a sweet dynamic between them. I loved how easily their relationship fell together. It was perfect.

Finding You was a great addition to the Destination Love series. I absolutely loved it, and I'm looking forward to reading the next book in the series. (I'm really hoping it's Stormy-Rain's story!) If you're a fan of contemporary romance filled with beautiful settings, humorous moments and sweet romances, you really need to read this series!

Finding You by Jo Watson is a fun romance that takes readers on an adventure right alongside the characters. The setting is picturesque and the author has no problems with describing everything which allows us to feel like we are there visiting too. The romance, while a little bit of a slow build-up, is completely swoon worthy. And the little added mystery (the heroine is looking for her father) is an added bonus! Overall, I really enjoyed this novel and have enjoyed her previous books as well. So I am looking forward to reading many more of her books in the future. Jo Watson knows how to write!
