"Life's greatest treasures will never be held, purchased, or bartered for. They will only be felt."
Parker Bale has is a gentlemen is all respects. After graduating college and beginning the exhausting search for a job, he’s offered employment, unlimited expenses, and a new BMW by an extremely wealthy eccentric stranger. His new job?
Finding a woman to love. Not a particular woman, but he must look in a particular place. And he must sign a contract. Eagerly, he signs the contract without reading it.
Victoria Fisker’s father died immediately after her birth. Her bed-ridden mother’s addiction to pain pills requires her to be at home every moment she isn’t working as a prep cook. She has never been in love, nor does she feel loved at home. She doesn’t particularly trust people, has no faith in the male species in general, and lives a quiet life keeping to herself.
When Parker meets Victoria, he’s immediately intrigued by her lack of interest in people and her comfort in being alone. Victoria, on the other hand, only recognizes Parker as being a male and believes therefore he can’t be trusted.
Finding Parker’s characters embark on a journey. A journey in which they soon realize they’re finding love where they least expect it. Love for friends, love for family which may not be blood related, and for that one person…
The one who gives you reason to believe for the first time love just may actually exist.
"We fear what we don't understand, and we find serenity in what we're incapable of understanding..."
"Having the ability to feel is the greatest gift God has ever given..."
"Ask yourself through the course of each day, if this were my last day on earth, would I do anything different?"
"Live every day as if you're going to die at midnight..."
"The greatest rewards in life are provided to those who take the greatest risks..."
"One moment of unwelcomed silence is more disheartening than a lifetime of incessant screaming… And the silence deafens me..."
Review by Gia:
Finding Parker is a great read. The prologue drew me into the story. How could I not want to continue reading it after that prologue. We know from the prologue that someone has anywhere from 6 months to a year to live. It kept me guessing who was sick. I didn't want to put Finding Parker down until I finished it.
The story is told in Parker and Victoria's POVs. Parker is a college graduate who finds employment with Keaton Ward. He signs a contract with Keaton that he hasn't read. Parker's employment seems weird. Parker's job is to find the perfect woman for himself. Keaton covers most of Parker's expenses. It's such a weird job that it had me wondering if Keaton had a hidden agenda.
Parker is great. He's attractive and sweet. He's the type of guy you would want to bring home and introduce him to your parents. I loved Victoria. She's a down to earth girl and says what's on her mind. Parker and Victoria are perfect together. The interaction between everyone in the story was great to read. None of the relationships seemed forced. Even though Keaton was employing Parker, he and Parker had more of a father son relationship.
There were some surprises towards the end of the story. Finding Parker is a definite must one click book.
