I finished reading Where I Found You recently and was really happy that I had a chance to read more about these two not too long after that. Ellie and Callum are two characters who really find a place in your heart after the first book. Getting to enjoy them a little longer isn't something I'll ever complain about. Novellas can be a hit or miss though. They're pretty short, so I've had many times where I felt like there was a lot of story missing or that it was rushed. That wasn't the case with Now That I Found You! This story picks up some months after the ending of Where I Found You. Ellie and Callum have been through a lot in their relationship, but it seems like things are finally looking up for them. I love the two of them together and things can definitely get pretty steamy! Ellie had a heartbreaking childhood, so it's nice to see her get some happiness. It's clear the events from Where I Found You still have an impact, but Ellie is learning to deal. When a day at work turns Ellie's world upside down, we're not sure if she will get her happily ever after. I have to say that Brooke is really good at making you feel all the tension and suspense surrounding these events. I couldn't put this novella down. I don't want to give too much away, because this novella isn't really long. If you're a fan of characters who just fit together, romance, humor, steamy moments, great friends and some suspense, Now That I Found You is definitely the book for you! This author really knows how to pull on your heart strings!
