Amazon.com Review
Thirteen years ago, Byron Frazer had faced the toughest decision a parent could ever face. When his young wife, Lori, died in childbirth, Byron chose to put his newborn son, Ian, up for adoption. Recovering from the grief of both losses, Byron turned his energies to finishing school and building his career. Now, years later, Byron has become a nationally known family therapist, and Ian needs a father. Though Byron had followed Ian's life, he had never felt the need to step in before. When Ian's adoptive parents die and he is sent to live with relatives in Cornwall, England, Byron knows he must go and see that Ian is all right. Finding Ian is fairly straightforward, but finding the right thing to do is much more difficult. Stella Cameron's novel carefully describes a wide spectrum of family relationships, with painfully accurate depictions of the worst ones. Pride and loyalty are the strongest emotions in the Cornwall community, but there are more complex layers of emotions below that. Though the language, actions, and dilemmas can be exhaustingly over the top, the down-to-earth character of Ian helps balance things out, and makes Finding Ian a satisfying read. --Nancy R.E. O'Brien

Courtesy of A Romance ReviewFinding Ian is realistic, touching and warm. The love between father and son is the main theme of the story and the romance between Jade and Byron is just an interlude. Not a standard romance but still a page-turner for a mainstream fiction.

Sleazy Sex

Does a man fall into deep, passionate, soul-scorching love with a woman after one night of sex? Lust, maybe, but never love, yet this is one of the premises of this inane book. Out of desperation for something to read, I attempted another Stella Cameron book--same scenario. This kind of sleazy sex is so boring. The author's fantasy that sleazy sex results in love and marriage is not only not realistic, its laughable. I hope no teenage girls get a hold of these books. They might then conclude that having sex after knowing a man only a few hours is the way to find a husband. And what about AIDS? This book is just really disgusting and really stupid.

another DON'T BOTHER love story
Rating (1)

The story seems interesting in the first chapter but quickly turns to painfully contrived nonsense to fill up the pages between frightfully awkward sex. Why can't romance writers turn out a real plot with believable characters and situations?

I personally read books to get away from my real life and live in a "fantasy" world even if just for a few days...
I couldn't stop reading this book from the moment I picked it up. I fell in love with Byron, Jade and Ian. It's heartwarming, funny, sad and sexy.I would definitely recommend it to anyone!
