Jordie Spagnato was content raising her daughter on her own, and running a successful New York City hot spot. Enter Nathan Harper: tall, handsome, full of charisma and there to lend a hand when a drunken brawl almost lands Jordie in jail.
Late night walks, rooftop visits and breakfast quickly
become their routine until Nathan’s future and Jordie’s past threaten to ruin
their lives.
Finding
Jordie is told from Jordie's point of
view, which was nice to read a book from only one person's pov. It's been
awhile since I've read a book like this.
I loved this book right off the
bat and I kept picturing Coyote Ugly, without
the dancing girls and singing.
Jordie owns a bar in NYC, she's a tough, take no shit chick and can take care
of business without needing a man to do it for her. She has a nine year old
daughter named Emma, who had me laughing more than once. At times, I questioned
whether a nine year old would really know those things but let it slide because
it was hilarious.
Nathan comes in and saves her
from kicking some guys a**, which I'm sure she
would of won! From then on,
they both feel a connection that they just can't
ignore. Nathan has a bit of a
secret that he wasn't able to keep from her. It
seems to be small hurdle they
need to jump over and hopefully all will calm
down.
Rachel!! Oh my god that woman
is hilarious and would be a perfect BFF to have! Hollerrr!
Everything seems to be going
falling into place until they realize Jordie has a stalker...
"You,
Jordan Marie Spagnato, are the first person in many years whose intentions I am
one hundred percent sure of. I trust you completely."
- Nathan
"I have
no words how I feel for you, Nathan. I didn't know I was capable of
loving
someone this way."
- Jordie
I give Finding Jordie 3.5 "Nut Job" stars!
HJ grew up in Bricktown New Jersey, less than an hour away
from New York City. As a teenager and early twenties, she loved hanging out in
the glamor of NYC. She was a "City Brat" so it was pretty difficult
for her to pack her stuff and three cats in 2005, for a life changing road
trip, moving to California. She's travelled around the country until she met
her better half in 2005.
After serving twelve years in the Air Force, the man of her
dreams ended his military career and they moved to Georgia in 2007. Since then,
they've settled down in Leesburg GA, and had their first child.
No place has ever come close to replacing the magic of New
York City for HJ. So when it was decided to try this romance writing gig out,
naturally her first book 'Finding Jordie' would be set there.
HJ enjoys reading, and spending time with her family.
Reality TV is a guilty pleasure and she's a sucker for romantic comedies and
Robert Pattinson. HJ is a pro at goofing off, She talks with my hands, (She's
Italian!) She drinks way too much coffee, and gets too little sleep. Oh, and
she has a thing for Jackie-O sized sunglasses. HJ's has five furry kids and
most importantly, one beautiful daughter. HJ is always striving to be the best
Mom possible.
HJ's very passionate about the things she loves, that's why
she was outraged when they cancelled SMASH and Southland! It should be
considered a small miracle if you ever get to see a serious or pic of her
posing all nice and pretty...She's not that girl. She's a spontaneous goof and
believes the best things in life come naturally. Yes, that includes random no
make-up selfies during a 2:00a.m. writing marathon.
