Finders Keepers

De: Nicole Lenz

Narrado por: Rachel Dane

Bailey Monroe knows one thing for certain. She had to leave. With her young daughter Sophie in tow, she flees from the nightmare of her abusive husband under the cover of darkness, finding safety in the quiet Texas town of Pine Grove. There, she finds refuge in the warmth of the town folk and kindness from Ms. Lucille, a spirited widowed woman who takes them in and offers hope when Bailey needs it most.

Determined to give Sophie the stable life she deserves, Bailey begins to rebuild. But opening her heart again is another story, especially when Gavin Mitchell, the town's charming veterinarian, steps into her life. Patient and kind, Gavin sees the cracks in Bailey’s armor and is willing to do whatever it takes to earn her trust. Yet no matter how safe Pine Grove feels, Bailey can’t shake the feeling that her past is only a step behind her.

the emotions 😪

trigger warning: domestic violence
but such an amazing, emotional, and healing story 💜
and Gavin 🥵

Amazing!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️ Small town romance that’s calling your name.

This book was so wonderful, Nicole did such a great job to fully share or tell the true effect of domestic violence from some one who is a survivor of DV it was a little hard to read without having mine own triggers come up but the strength of Bailey and the mothers love for Sophia just brings you back to the true reasons you leave Gavin is just a breath of fresh air. Also Mrs Lucy role is just the most perfect role anyone who is going thru this is what they need. I cried I yelled I smiled and I just absolutely love the audio book as well such a great read. So proud of Nicole to write such a fun romantic read that the true reasons you leave even when it’s the hardest thing you will ever do. You will not regret reading this book. NIcole also did a fantastic job with the tigger warning. Rachel did such a wonderful job bring these characters to life with her voice and Nicole did such a fantastic job writing this novel ❤️

Loved it!

The audio narration had so much emotion! Haven't heard or felt it before. The book was great and I enjoyed the storyline! I did keep saying call the cops call the cops, but that led to the excited. Enjoy , please listen to the book!

amazing !

loved the book ! and the audio is just as amazing! Rachel definitely brought finders Keepers to life!

What a debut!

I went into this a little blind— I am a big fan of Rachel Dane and always add what she’s reading to my list! I wasn’t ready for this one but ready or not— I read a beautiful book about finding one’s self again, overcoming, and just surviving!

I haven’t read many books that walk you through the process of leaving an abusive relationship and dealing with the anxiety and all of the fears the way Nicole Lenz covered this—
It was beautifully written.
I had terrible panic attacks when my kids had to go to their fathers house for the weekend and my now husband would hold me and pray for me and I’ll just never forget how patient he was with me while I had to figure all of that out. I latched onto Gavin and his sweet character so quick because he is so much like my Brad.
Ms. Lucy is a hero! I had a few of those in my hard times too. So grateful for my friends and those church members that had their eyes on me and my kids.
The whole time, I wanted to hug this momma. It was hard to read/listen at times. I am glad that I did it, but hearing some of her memories/fears, it just took me right back to the memories of the hell I had to survive. I had to take a couple breaks to cry!

Domestic Abuse has become so common. I am from Oklahoma and our state has the highest rate of DV. Statistics say 1 in 4 women will experience DV. 1 in 7 men will experience DV. If you are victim to this, I’m praying you find your way out. You can do it!
