Warning: This book contains mature content and is not recommended for listeners under 17.

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....

Another great book!

21 chapters that went by oh so quickly! Paige is an author that quickly gets you into the storyline and begging for more!

My new "book" power couple!

Would you listen to Found in You again? Why?

Absolutely! Even though this was a very emotional journey so many good things came from all the gut wrenching plot. I think I would fall in love a little more with Hudson each time I listen to this trilogy. Alayna and Hudson are my "book" power couple!

What was one of the most memorable moments of Found in You?

Definitely Alayna trying to find that perfect outfit to wear once she got to Japan to surprise Hudson. Only to find out Hudson had come home and rented out the club and had decorated it with rose petals, candles and his hot self!

What does Carly Robins bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

I like Ms. Robins voice for all the ladies but her voice for Hudson is just all wrong. I'm sorry to say.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

I was glad Alayna and Brian were able to mend fences.

Any additional comments?

This is a wonderful series that I am so glad I took a chance on!!

Intensely passionate Hudson and Laynie Wow!!!

Ooooomg if I loved Hudson Pierce before I'm officially uncurably obsessed. So obsessed I think I make Laynie look sane. I have to say I was a very complicated mess thru most of this book...bouncing between anxious and horny. Yeah...I told you...mess! This series is like my crack...I cannot deny the hypnotic hold it has on me and I love it so much. First of all...if you have not read Fixed on You, please...stop whatever you're doing and read it. It blew me away...plus none of this will make sense!

Laynie...wow, I feel like a proud momma or something. My girl is growing up and I'm so proud! There was so much growth for her in this book...necessary growth...good growth...positive growth. She becomes the healthy non-obsessive person she always knew she could be, in a healthy relationship with the man of her dreams (and mine!). She is logical and rational...analytical in good ways...she just blew my mind with how much more I fell in love with her as a character. She's stronger, braver...she's doing what is in her best interest rather than acting irrationally or impulsively. She still makes mistakes and some that had me screaming at my kindle trying to get her to stop...but she's learning from them - which is key.

`Hudson lifted my chin to meet his stare. "I want you."
The look on his face - he wasn't upset by my outburst at all. Other men had been scared away by similar unfounded accusations. But Hudson-not only did his expression show an absence of fear, it showed hunger, desire. Almost as though my paranoia was a turn-on.
"You have me," I whispered.'

Hudson Alexander Pierce - there are no words for him. My love knows no bounds for this man and if it was possible for me to fall in love with him any more...mission accomplished. And just as much as Laynie grew, so did he! He's nothing like the cold heartless manipulator he once was. He's a changed man and it's all thanks to Alayna. He still has a long way to go but Laynie has brought him light years away from where he once was. He needs her...so badly and my heart just melts at the thought of his emotions for her. Watching him be in a relationship is...different. I can't lie and say that a part of me was waiting for the possible moment that he got scared or changed his mind or let his past get the better of him - but it never happened. Which just made him even more perfect.

`He leaned back in to rub his nose against mine. "If you acted as smart as you are, you would have stood me up weeks ago."
"Good thing I don't act smart."
"Good thing for me, yes."'

So Found In You picks up right where Fixed On You left off. No overlapping, no redundancy, just smooth transition from one to the other. Same fabulous characters continuing their delicious story. And oh my...Alayna and Hudson together are more than just delicious. Hello...I think I need another word for hot! Just... Wow ! Set the pages of my kindle on fire, panty disintegrating, sweet baby jeebus HOT! They're sexy and passionate and that is all part of their connection. It's the way Hudson shows his love for her, the best way he shows his love because he can't say it. Or maybe not that he can't say it...maybe that he doesn't want to admit it? But I felt it. OMG with every piece of my heart, in every action that Hudson makes, every word he says to her, it just bleeds love. Their sexual connection isn't all they have but when all else is failing it's what brings them back to 'them'. To what they have and how they can't love without each other.

`He growled - actually growled - and I shivered at the sound. But despite how his sounds and reactions made me completely weak and dizzy, I suddenly felt powerful. There was nothing in the world that I could imagine that would be strong enough to cause Hudson Pierce to relinquish his authority - nothing in the universe that could make him yield to anyone.
Yet here he was giving in to me.
Yes, I felt very powerful.'

So...Hudson is not the hearts and flowers type and it's easy enough to get me to swoon when he's so f^@%in sexy and says some of the hottest things ever...but he really did make me swoon with some über romantic lines! See?!! I told you he was changing! He has some pretty romantic gestures too...and then he turns around and f^@%s her on the rooftop of a restaurant - so thru and thru, he's still Hudson...he's just an improved version! :-) But you can never take the hot alpha cave man out of Hudson Pierce...and Thank God for that!

`His gray eyes searched mine for long seconds. "How does it feel to belong to me?"
I didn't know if he was still playing or not. For me, the game was over. It was with sincerity that I answered. "Perfect."'

Alright, the reason I was anxious...you would think it might have been Sophia...well not that the wicked b!tch from the east didn't raise her ugly head every now and then and give me heart burn...but she wasn't the main reason! And it wasn't even the little lies that developed into bigger lies and things started getting sticky...though that didn't help either! No...the cause for 90% of my anxiety was a certain back stabbing ho-bag...Celia! F^@%in c^nt! I knew I didn't like her for a reason and she just gave me a s*** ton more. If any b!tch in the world deserves to get slapped/c^nt punted/cut...this b!tch is top of the list. I swear my stomach was in knots through more than 50% of the book just waiting for that moment when I was going to be crushed...and then when it happened, it was worse than I thought. But I promise you, I could not have been more proud of the way Laynie handled herself.

`He lay beside me, wrapping his arms around me. Smoothing my hair with sensuous strokes, he spoke low at my ear. "I know it's scary and our situation hasn't been ideal, but you are everything good for me. Nothing in this world is important to me beyond you. I can be the same for you I know it. And I'm so grateful you've given me the chance to prove it."
I shifted to face him. "You have nothing to prove. You're already everything good for me, too."
"Shh." He kissed my forehead. "Not yet. I haven't been able to give you everything you need yet."'

Now that I've got that out of my system...I loved the ending. Perfection - I love that there wasn't a cliff again...leaving me a happy little camper but still anxious to continue Hudson and Alayna's journey. There are lots of pre-cursors...things that keep my mind thinking and anticipating! And there's a video that needs to be watched...that's all I do know! But it gives me something to crave and ponder. This was a perfect sequel to Fixed On You in every way possible - I don't think I could love it more if I tried. I feel like I need to send Laurelin Paige roses for creating the amazingness that is Hudson, because he is quickly climbing the charts towards the top of my BBF List. It surprised me, kept me on the edge of my seat with uncertainty, turned me on and warmed my heart - what more can you ask for?

Carly Robins was outstanding with the deivery of the story

twist and turns

surprised of the different games being played by the characters in the story. loved every minute of it.

The passion continues!

While the passion continues to escalate between Alayna and Hudson, in book two of the Fixed series, we also find our characters facing some unexpected turmoil, that neither saw coming.

Alayna and Hudson both seemed perfect for each other. They both approached relationships alike - in a dysfunctional type manner. So it was somewhat surprising to see them both evolve as they continued to grow closer. We see both characters giving up some of their control and even begin trusting one another. But, maybe they were better off staying guarded and having their suspicions about one another like they would have in previous relationships.

As they make strides with one another, outside influences begin to pierce the bubble of happiness that they are living in. Will the fact that our love birds are keeping secrets come to fruition in a natural manner? Or will their happiness be shattered by someone just outside of their bubble of happiness and by someone thought of as a friend nonetheless?

If you want to find out the answers to these queries, and get a first-hand look into the lives of two of the hottest couples that I have ever read, I strongly encourage you to read, Found in You. You owe it to yourself!

Addicting!

There is a whole lot of crazy going on in this series and I'm loving every minute of it. I'm completely enthralled with what is unfolding in this story. There is so many secrets, lies and sabotage. I think normally I would feel that would be too angsty of a read, but the way the author has written this series has made this a very exciting read.

I absolutely love Hudson. Alayna, not so much. She's way too emotional, but this wouldn't be what it is if she wasn't constantly questioning and seeking the truth. Celia is cray cray! I predicted I wanted to push her off a cliff in the first book and that still stands. How Alayna can't see the deception in Celia is beyond me. Celia is the perfect example of other women drama that is done right in a series.

Did I mention I love Hudson? I'm not sure I should. He has done some mean things in his past that should make any women in his life question if he is doing the same thing again. He says he isn't like that anymore and all signs point to Alayna being love at first sight for him, but I just know there is something that is about to hit the fan. On to book 3!

very good

Loved it !! this story. the narrator is so fantastic it's like your really there!! good overall

FROM THE VERY START I JUST COULDN'T STOP LISTENING

Sorry but I've got book 3 already downloaded and I'm DESPERATE to listen to exactly what's next in the gorgeous Hudson and lucky lucky Laynie's future so I'll have to make this review fairly quick but a warning... I'll be gushing about it.

This is book 2 of an intense, emotional, passionate, hot and truly wonderful trilogy which has plenty of angst, drama, character growth, surprises, suspense, jealousies, sex, interesting characters and, as Hudson and Laynie each struggle with their troubled pasts, insecurities, secrets and betrayals, is love going to be enough to keep them together.... Well I can't wait to find out what Laurelin Paige has in store next for the lovers and what bitter-sweet problems she has expertly written for them to overcome in order to finally get their HEA.

Worth a credit? Laurelin knows just how to write about a drool-worthy, powerful, sexy, handsome, Alpha Billionaire whose passionate, emotional and obsessive nature will have you swooning, drooling, fanning yourself and eagerly wanting to hear more. Oh, so so so creditworthy and I hope she will continue forever writing about their love story which would all be an auto download for this fan.

Think of something funny here....

Sorry, couldn't come up with a headliner.

This book is a continuation of the relationship for Lanie and Hudson. Now that she's moving in she has someone else set on breaking them up. Of course you don't have to throw stones very far as this series has several characters putting the odds against them, of course.

I thought it was a lot of the same. They get in a fight, they have sex and make up for 5 minutes. Then she's upset again and they fight and have sex again. It pretty much goes like that until the climax of this story.

I think if your looking for a lusty novel that keeps your ears and face burning, this will do it. Great series.

Must Read -Book 2

Always on the edge of my seat waiting to see what happens next for this young couple! Hudson & Alyanna have my heart! ***Need a movie on this!!!!***
