Powerless is a good fit for those seeking an emotionally charged, slow-burn romance that explores the complexities of past traumas and the challenges of opening up to love again.

Real and Vivid. I liked the way that Paris Hansen wove her tale.

Characterization was huge in this novel. The characters were all very well developed and had their own motivations and faults. It made them seem more real to me as the reader.

I also really liked the flow of this novel. It felt very smooth.

This is such an interesting romance. The heroine is such a strong person and I found her character so fascinating. And the hero … wow, what a guy! He rocks. Their connection is really wonderful. The focus on living a life in the public eye was really interesting and I like how the ending came together. There was nothing predictable or boring about this one for me. I really enjoyed it all.

This is Liam and Finley's story and was a pretty good read.Finley had a pretty rough start in life and left L.A as soon as she can now she has to go back and face her past to go to her best friends wedding,i think i might just of sent a present but thats me.
When she goes back she meets Liam and damn he is such a sweet and nice guy and the attraction between them is so strong.After a hot and steamy night together they have to figure out if they can make a relationship between them work.
I enjoyed getting to know these two and watching their relationship develop.they were believable and struggled like we all do,it was a good read and held my interest.

I just couldn't get into this book. Finley's character annoyed the crap out of me; she was constantly negative and not willing to give anything a chance. I also struggled feeling a connection beyond sex between Liam and Finley.

ARC - I voluntarily offered to review this book with no obligations and my opinions are honest!
Finley Blake Left LA + never looked back.
Liam is about to become famous.
When they meet, the chemistry is off the chart.
Will this be a one time thing or will this become more ?
I loved the storytelling.
The characters were well rounded.
They were cute together.

For me this is the first in the story and I'm very surprised how much I enjoyed it. Powerless is the story of Liam and Finely. Both are part of LA, hollywood scene even if Finely detests it. Growing up in the movie industry wasn't easy for her and she struggled until she was 18 when she was able to escape. She hasn't been back since except now her best friend in the whole wide world is engaged. She will return but what will it cost her?

Liam is a character who has lost a lot but has gained more. He has his sister and a career he loves, however going to his friend's wedding and meeting a woman who will change everything he thought he wanted.....well.... he handles it well. He is a great character and a great match for Fin's.

When a stalker starts harassing both, will they make it or be powerless to outside forces ??? So freaking good that now i want to read Savannah's story.

Super book. This book was important addition to the Finding Love series. The way that the author touched on and the explained Finley's earlier years and what she had against the city of L.A made the book that much more interesting. Finley must realize it is not the city that made the nightmares but those in her life that did. She meets Liam and realizes not everything is as she thought it should be; was love in her grasp or will the past ruin her present?
Thank you NetGalley and Paris Hansen for allowing me to read and give a honest review of this book.

Powerless is a good romance with a hero who for once is a nice guy. Finley has a pretty bad past. And now she's back in the town that she left all those years ago, the town that holds so many bad memories - LA. But, she's there for her best friend's wedding, so she'll suck it up somehow and deal. When she meets Liam at the wedding, it's lust at first night and they spend a hot night together. But, can they make a long distance relationship work when he lives in a town she hates? And he's on the cusp of stardom and she hates being in the spotlight?

I liked Powerless. Finley and Liam are likable, engaging characters and I enjoyed seeing their relationship develop at a reasonable pace, rather than rushing headlong and falling in love in a matter of days. Throw in a dash of suspense, and Powerless is just the kind of well rounded story I like - sexy, sweet and with just the right amount of suspense.
