Cute story!!

When Farrah catches her photographer boyfriend, Justin, in a compromising position with one of his models at Farrah's company Christmas party; she walks out. She's convinced that he's cheating on her and she's done with him. She's so upset that she leaves the party without her winter coat in the snow. She decides to walk and ends up in a questionable neighborhood and gets harassed by a strange man, so she goes into the closest bar. There she meets Caleb.

Caleb is a student at Georgetown University studying Architecture on a scholarship. He was just getting ready to leave the bar to go home to study and get up for one of his 2 jobs. That plan immediately dies when Farrah walks in without a coat, scared to death. He literally loses his breath when he sees the blonde hair, blue eyed beauty. He ends up taking her for coffee and pie, and because their chemistry is so intense, Farrah goes home with him.

After an amazing, passionate night together Caleb falls asleep expecting her to be there when he wakes up. Meanwhile, Farrah checks her phone and sees all the text messages from Justin and calls him. He gives her a logical explanation for his actions and she buys it; but she feels guilty for what she just did. So she sneaks out of Caleb's place in his sweatpants and sweatshirt, accidentally dropping her glove.

Caleb wakes up upset that she left, but he finds her glove. He doesn't have her last name or a phone number to call her. Farrah notices that her glove is gone and goes back to Caleb's looking for it. She even leaves a note with his concierge, but the girl never gives him the note because she likes him.

Now it's Valentine's Day and Justin comes in early to Caleb's second job, for dinner. When Caleb happens to overhear his conversation that he's cheating on his girlfriend with someone else because his girlfriend has the right connections he needs, he's disgusted. When Farrah walks in, Caleb's shocked that she's the girlfriend he's been talking about. Should he warn her?

Will these two ever reconnect?

A cute, must read!

A sweet story with great characters. Quite short but enjoyable. It is a bit like a Mills and Boon story so if you like that style, this is a good choice.

DNF 75%
It started out with her thinking her boyfriend cheated on her, then she basically run into the love-interest of the book`s arms and cheat on him and i don`t know - i just couldn`t go from there. i tried. I tried up til 75% and then i gave up. main character and her love interest had no chemistry and i just ended up disliking and almost resenting the main character. The love interest was boring at best. the main character`s boyfriend was meh too.

Farrah is attending a work holiday party with her boyfriend and thinks she catches her boyfriend cheating so she quickly leaves the party. Farrah winds up going into a random bar to escape some rude men outside. At that bar is where she meets Caleb. Next thing you know Farrah and Caleb are hooking up, but afterwards while Caleb is sleeping Farrah talks to her boyfriend and is convinced it was all a misunderstanding. Farrah sneaks out with some of Caleb's clothes, but also leaves behind a mitten. Over the next few days Caleb is desperate to find Farrah, worried that he did something wrong that made her leave even though they seemed to have a great connection.

I really enjoyed reading this book, I would give it 4 1/2 stars if I could! This is the first book in the series that I have read so far, but it was enough to pull me into the story and want to continue the series. I will definately be continuing in the series!

Interesting book. Fun characters and storyline. This was a new author to me and I enjoyed getting a chance to read the book.

This book was okay, but didn't grab me. The storyline was fine and I'm sure many readers will enjoy it overall. I'm not a fan of cheating and running off and having revenge sex and then forgiving her boyfriend based on a misunderstanding didn't sit well with me. Second, I found the goose references strange and not amusing. It just wasn't for me, not my style of humor.

I received a complimentary copy of Finders Keepers in exchange for an honest review. What a great way to spend an afternoon. I loved the plot, and Farrah & Caleb were just as fun. It's so refreshing to read about real life characters with day jobs vs the billionaire romances. The author did a great job slowing the romance pace down and making Farrah and Caleb work for it. Caleb is actually a dream come true. He really liked Farrah, and it was fun to read about the little things he did just for her. Just a good read all around. I'd definitely recommend this book to friends and family.

Fantastic writing ,witty ,engaging dialogue and a likable hero makes this an excellent pastime.Gullible heroine,duplicity,missed connections,conniving concierge and detestable supporting character Justin are the less savory parts of this story, but in no way detracted from the enjoyment of it.Hilarity and sensitivity surrounding the care of Little Fizz.Just have to say that the illustration was less interesting than the book and cost it one star.Loved this one, thank you Netgalley.

Farrah is girly-girl and I love her spunk.

Chloe Holiday draws an enjoyable tale in Finder's Keepers that runs with my favourable theme, food.
It is a chance happening but when Caleb and Farrah meet I begin to root for them and I am sure Farrah's friend roots for them too.
A well written book and an enjoyable read.

A Sexy, Delightful Treat!

I LOVE this story! The pace is fast and fun, and I adore the wordplay, which is clever but not intrusive or self-conscious. The characters are well-fleshed out, even the side characters, like the cook, the flower shop lady, and the friends of the hero and heroine, as well as the dirtbag boyfriend.

The sex scenes are steamy but not porny or crass, and I loved that they reflected the characters, rather than being like every other sex scene ever written.

This is a second-chance, missed connections story that's relatable, as is the gaslighting Farrah gets from her boyfriend.

It's a fast, wonderful read! I finished it in one setting and turned around and read it again. I can't wait to read more of her work!

A sweet sweet romance.

Finders, Keepers is a sweet book with lots of romance. The perfect book for the closet romantic with a hint of naughty. The perfect mistake with a stranger! Drama and spice! If you're looking for romance with a blend of drama, spice, girl-love and soulmates, Finders, Keepers is it!

Love Love Love this book!
Could not put it down.
Literally devoured it within one sitting.
Cannot wait to read more from Chloe Holiday

It’s disappointing but it happens. This book just fell short for me and never got to that happy place of a romance novel.

I never developed that “feeling” about the characters. Other than their one night together (where they describe sex in terms of cooking and basting, HUH!) when I was 90% finished with the book, They. Still. Weren’t. Together. He was living in Denmark while she was still in the US and they were just texting back and forth.

Then, when he did arrive home I was all geared up for their reunion and you will not believe this, he walked into their apartment, said Hi, and went to take a shower. WHAT!!! Actually WTF!!!

Story was enjoyable. I was impatient from the get-go for main character to realize Justin was a sleaze and to connect with Caleb. Of course, that'd be quick and satisfying if it happens too quickly, so the author draws it out and how they build upon their relationship is kind of darling. I want to be wooed with a Question a Day!

Finders, Keepers by Chloe Holiday is a stand-alone intro book to The Helios Series. This is a novella has fun, drama, humor, and sexy points in the story. This is Caleb and Farrah’s story. Caleb discovers it is love at first sight, but Farrah is gone the next morning. The two have a hard time finding each other as only first names were exchanged. They find each again accidently, and each are full of doubts that the one night meant more to each other. The book was well written and was a good story. I enjoyed it and recommend it. Thanks to Netgalley for the advanced copy of the book so I could give my honest opinion.

*I received this book free from BooksGoSocial via NetGalley.*

Farrah is full of colorful personality. She's a sweetheart with a heart of gold, but ultimately she's confused over what she wants. Following what she believes she wants leaves her gullible and unfulfilled. 

Caleb is a student with multiple jobs and too busy for anything fun. One night in walked Farrah in her colorful hat and gloves with no coat on and he didn't want her to leave without him.

"Sucker-punched, he couldn't breathe. Brain on lockdown. An urge so strong that..."

What started as revenge sex for her, turned into something neither could walk away from...no matter the amount of time that went by between them seeing each other again.

Finders, Keepers is a quick romantic read. I enjoyed the characters, loved their personalities, and their chemistry, but most of the book was what each of them did to find the other one and that part made me lose interest. Thankfully the last part of the book picked back up into some of the heat and ultimately ended on a good note.

Disclaimer: I received this ARC in exchange for an unbiased review.

Finders, Keepers is touted as a "fast, fun novella: a sexy modern Cinderella story with a dash of humor, plenty of spice, and NO CLIFFHANGERS!" on the NetGalley website. I would agree that it really is all that, though Holiday plants a seed of doubt as to the veracity of the happily-ever-after ending, encouraging readers to continue on to the set-in-Greece sequel.

This was my first Chloe Holiday book, and the novella was a quick, light, fun read, perfect for a weekend. The characters weren't too over the top but seemed nearly believable. Of course there is a bad boyfriend, a put upon girlfriend, and a guy who is almost too good to be true. The latter two obviously must have a meet cute. The sex is steamy but not raunchy, there is a hint of maybe this is for real from the beginning, and it's all in good fun.

Romance isn't my usual go-to genre; I tend to read it when I don't want to get bogged down in anything too heavy. This was good enough that I'll read more of Holiday's work and look for other, similarly light romance fare in the future.

This was a really cute story about missed connections, trusting yourself and second chances. It’s got a sweet slow build to the story and was a fun easy read. I loved their sms exchanges & the fact Caleb wasn’t your usual arrogant player with an attitude. Nice change of pace.

This was a fun, enjoyable story with really good main characters.
I didn't like Farrah's boyfriend Justin though. For someone who loves her he sure was busy trying to change her. He didn't really like her fun, funky appearance and ways. I on the other hand did enjoy them. He appeared to be subtle about it but he really wasn't. Someone described him as a douche and it really seemed to fit. Also pretentious was mentioned and that seemed to be right on. I wasn't rooting for him at all. Farrah definitely deserved better. And the more I read about Caleb, he sure seemed to be the better man.
Caleb sure was a hardworking, honorable man who is gobsmacked when he met Farrah. I liked that he was holding two part time jobs as he continued his studies. He sure was more appreciative of Farrah than Justin was. In both his words and his actions.
There is miss after miss when it comes to the times that Caleb and Farrah try to catch up with each other. The one missing mitten made me smile and think it was reminiscent of Cinderella and her left behind shoe. It didn't overtake the story though which I felt was good.
I liked how the story ended with a well deserved H.E.A.

"I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.”

This is a cute enjoyable little romance.
It’s what I think of as the perfect 3* read (this is not a negative).

Farrah is a free spirit. She’s bubbly and colourful. Her boyfriend Justin is an artist. But let’s be clear. We’re not talking bohemian, free spirited, leather bracelets, unshaven casual sexy artist. He’s more the uptight all about appearances type.

Farrah catches Justin cheating. She runs and finds herself having her first one night stand.
Caleb is absolutely perfect for her. But she’s clouded by Justin. The time invested in their relationship and her inability to really see him. Plus she’s having trouble getting in touch with Caleb.

I liked both Farrah and Caleb. And I’m moving onto Helios next.
