Found in You  (Laurelin Paige)

SUMMARY

Alayna Withers has only had one kind of relationship: the kind that makes her obsessive and stalker-crazy. Now that Hudson Pierce has let her into his heart, she’s determined to break down the remaining walls between them so they can build a foundation that’s based on more than just amazing sex. Except Hudson’s not the only one with secrets.

With their pasts pulling them into a web of unfounded mistrust, Alayna turns to the one person who knows Hudson the best—Celia, the woman he almost married. Hoping for insight from someone who understands all sides of the story, Alayna forms a bond with Celia that goes too far—revealing things about Hudson that could end their love for good.

This is the first relationship where Alayna hasn’t spiraled out of control. And she might lose Hudson anyway…

MY REVIEW

Second book for the obsessive stalker Alayna, sociopath Hudson and Celia Werner, his childhood friend and ex-fiancée who is a mystery.
The scene has been set in book 1. All the major players are around and now it is the time to wonder: if everything ended up greatly in book 1 without a cliffhanger and Alayna and Hudson are happy together, then which is the reason for the existence of “Found In You”?

This was real, a big step—a giant step—moving deeper into Hudson’s life than anyone had ever been before. I was excited, of course. I loved the man. But did I really even know him?

No you didn't!!!

More lies
More deception
More secrets

And yes everything is too good to be true.

“It’s okay, Hudson. It’s—”
He cut me off. “It’s not. But I need you to know that I’m trying and I’m not going to stop trying until I get there. Do you hear me? Don’t give up on me.” He was vehement, his expression frantic.
“I’m not giving up on you.” I reached my palm up to caress his face and he leaned into my touch. “Why would I do that? I love you, Hudson. So much.”
His eyes closed tight, almost as if my statement were painful to him. “I don’t deserve your love. I don’t think I ever will.”

No matter the amount of angst, the book ends once more with a kind of happy ending.
However, don't be too relieved! There is always book 3.

I have to say that this is one of those rare trilogies that finish without cliffhangers between books, but you still feel exhausted every time a book finishes. And in no way you can feel any kind of closure.
