Review of Finding Us by Debra Presley

by Debra Presley

Pop star Abby Murphy is living every girl’s dream. She has fame, fortune, and a handsome boyfriend, a guitar player named Sean. That changes the night she finds him in the arms of another woman. Hurt and betrayed, Abby ends their relationship. But Sean won’t accept the breakup, and she soon learns that he’s had a hidden agenda all along. Overnight, Sean transforms from loving boyfriend to dangerous adversary, and Abby no longer knows who she can trust among her friends and family.

Abby turns to her bodyguard, Danny Nucci, a man who will do everything in his power to keep her safe. But when Abby realizes her feelings for Danny run much deeper than she thought, she refuses to give in to her attraction in order to preserve her new found independence as well as protect Danny from Sean’s machinations.

When Abby finally finds the strength to reclaim her life and acknowledge her growing love for Danny, will she be able to let him in? And will Danny be able to overcome his own demons to be the man she needs him to be? Or will she be forced to let him go forever?

Debra is a native New Yorker who made her escape to the suburbs. She often returns to her hometown to visit her favorite deli for a bagel with butter, because there’s no better bagel than a New York bagel. When not in search of bagels, Debra spends her time running Book Enthusiast Promotions, an online promotions company that helps indie authors spread the word about their books. She’s also the owner of The Book Enthusiast blog.

She started writing lyrics in her wall-to-wall NKOTB bedroom at the tender age of thirteen while dreaming of the day she’d become Mrs. Jordan Knight. That dream never came to fruition, but she has continued to write.

Renee’s Review:

I received a copy of this book as a gift from the author for an honest review for Stephanie’s Book Reports .

Finding Us is the debut novel of Debra Presley and the first book in the Nucci Securities Series.

Abby Murphy is a pop star She’s has the fame, the fortune, the guitarist boyfriend Sean, best friend and assistant Sophie, her mom Vivien is her manager, and one hot bodyguard Danny Nucci. All that changes in the blink of an eye when she catches Sean in her dressing room with a groupie and breaks up with him. Unbeknownst to Abby Sean is not who he seems. He has a hidden agenda and is slightly off his rocker. Danny will protect Sean with his own life if need be. He also has feelings for her as she does for him. Sophie feels the need to protect Danny and struggles with her feelings. Can Sophie find her independence, safety and true love.

I devoured this book. I absolutely loved Abby. She’s got a lot going on and needed to learn to deal with her own business since she’s always micromanaged. I loved going on this journey with her and rooted for her and the things she wanted the entire way. I also loved Danny and Sophie and some other characters but boy oh boy did I hate Sean and Viviene. Talk about some twisted evil people. This book has everything you look for in a great read. Heart stopping moments, love, lust, hold your breathe moments. Don miss this book. Debra Presley has written an amazing debut novel I didn’t want to end. I cannot wait to get my hands on the other books in the series as soon as they come out.
