Found Underneath by K.L. Kreig

5.0

⭐️ 5+ STARS ⭐️
K.L. Kreig always steals every single emotion straight from my soul with her mesmerising prose. Found Underneath utterly, breakingly, beautifully consumed me. I didn’t think I could love Willow and Shaw more than I already did, but they are another level of perfection in this second and installment of the Finding Me Duet.

Found Underneath starts right where Lost in Between ended, with Shaw in an impasse with the secret he now holds that could break his blossoming relationship with Willow. He’s really torn between protecting his sister Annabelle’s future and sheltering the woman he unexpectedly fell in love with from the hard truth he’s now holding about her past. Shaw really struggles with this dilemma he’s faced with and it’s only a matter of time before everything crumble and he knows it. But his feelings for Willow are so overwhelming and awe-inspiring that they eclipse reason.

I loved how in this story their passion is as intense as it previously was, but now with a high dose of romantic feelings too. You feel the desperation they have for each other and it’s absolutely stunning. Both protagonists grow so much since the beginning of the duet. It’s not easy for them to bare their heart and reveal their most private feelings and torment to each other, but they gradually overcome these difficulties and embrace their relationship for what it is.

Shaw’s dirty mouth is once again pure bliss. He’s so dreamy, the epitome of alpha hero and I could fangirl on and on about this hot specimen of a man. He’s seriously that commanding and appealing to read about. But as much as he can ooze maleness and dominant sensuality, he’s at his best when he exposes his heart. Willow still possesses secrets of her own, but every single day her reticence to expose them to Shaw weakens. The intimacy they share is so combustible that it’s heating up the place and every single moment they spend together exudes longing, desire, possession and definite adoration! This couple is a fiery duo I worshiped wholly.

The side characters once again bring strength to the story that is already mighty solid. The accumulation of secrets mixed with Willow’s ex fiancé return only raises the tension all read long and makes it even more thrilling.

This epic conclusion is so heartfelt and astonished me. It’s undeniably in my top favorite reads this year and K.L. Kreig’s impressive talent is once again proved. She’s a master at stirring emotions from her readers and Found Underneath has them all. I couldn’t have hoped for a better ending than this for the Finding Me Duet. It’s a masterpiece a will treasure!
