Millions of readers/listeners have fallen in love with the San Francisco and Seattle Sullivans. Now get ready to fall head over heels for the New York Sullivans!
World-renowned artist Drake Sullivan doesn't paint women. Ever. Not when he knows all too well just how destructive painter/muse relationships can be. But on the day Rosa Bouchard walks onto the cliffs outside his Montauk cottage, Drake is so captivated that he can't stop himself from bringing her to life on canvas.
Shocked and horrified by the nude photos of her that have just hit the Internet, reality TV star Rosa's every instinct is to run from her Miami home and hide. After driving all night, she ends up in Montauk, New York, where she doesn't know a soul and plans to lie low until she can figure out how to deal with the media firestorm - and her own mother, who seems all too happy to sell out Rosa's happiness for more fame, more fans, and more money. The very last thing Rosa expects is to find, and to fall for, a sinfully sexy man like Drake Sullivan.
Drake has never felt this way about anything he's painted...and he's definitely never felt this way about a woman. When they kiss, everything but sweet, breathless desire melts away. But can he convince Rosa to trust - and to love - again after such a devastating betrayal?

Okay, back to the book itself. I may love rockstars to a fault, but an artist in a funk? *fans self* Whoo, Drake is something. I hate what Rosa was going through, on top of missing her father. Terrible! But like everything in life, there's a light in the darkness to help her forget everything. Absolutely love it.
Fell in love within the first few minutes.

Drake Sullivan, a painter experiencing painter’s block is starting to panic. All his brothers are filthy rich and successful. He is, too, but if this painter’s block continues… Will he ever be able to paint again with the passion necessary to create a great piece?
When he meets Rosa Bouchard, he is captured by her beauty, both in physical form and the spirit which lays beneath her skin. Dying to paint her, he needs to coax her into not running from him. He finds much more in this beauty than he expected, and feels something he never has before.
Rosa is running from past decisions, made to keep her family together, but now the game has turned nasty. Money can’t buy the peace of mind she needs. She’s an emotionally intriguing character who is easy to relate to because many have done things in the past to stave off the worst — a means of survival and don’t know the next step to freedom. Rosa and her mom and brothers have risen to the top of society only to realize how fragile and lonely that apex could be. The changes she needs to make in her life don’t come easily. The story is written compellingly with several threads of rich secondary characters and subplots which gear to the continuation of the series.
Drake is a multi-textured characters, with his own strengths and his inner fragility. Where he is there to support Rosa, he has his own demons to overcome. I really like the way the author brings how important family is into the story.
The narrator is an animated storyteller, with a girl-next-door energy and down-to-earth portrayal of feelings which found me nodding in perfect understanding and sympathy. The author certainly has captured my interest in this most charming series.

This is #01 of the New York Sullivan's Series, and #15 of the Sullivan's Series by Bella Andre.
HEA, NO cheating, NO cliffhangers!
Even though these are listed as being able to be read as standalones, they are connected by characters. I always advise to read in order to get the most out of the experience

♥ Story ♥
This is technically #01 in a spin-off series, but it is also part of the bigger Sullivan world. I did not have any problem starting with this one, but I did feel like I was missing out of some of the back story details. I now want to go back to the beginning and read the prior 14.
Drake Sullivan is some-what of recluse with painter-block. He hates being asked uncomfortable questions about his parents, as that seems to be the topic the press fixate on instead of his very successful art career. Drake spots Rosa on the cliffs by his house in a distressed state and he wants her, both to paint and to rescue. He has sworn never to paint a woman as that is what made his father lose his mind, but he can't help himself.
Rosa Bouchard is trying to hide from the world and the relentless press. She is part of a reality show with her family similar to the Kardashians, with her being the equivalent to Kim. Pictures were taken of her illegally getting in and out of the bath, and have made their way into all the papers and magazines. She goes to the cliffs because they remind her of her deceased father and meets a sexy painter that offers to take care of her for the opportunity to paint her. He encourages her to pursue her own art en-devours of painting with thread, which sounds totally awesome!
This story has a lot of heart as well as steam, which is the best kind of story. It also has an adorable dog named Oscar who totally steals the show! It ends somewhat abruptly, but I think it may pick up close to where this ends in the next book as they were laying the ground work for it. I would recommend you get #02 upfront so you don't have to wait to continue reading.

Bella Andre is quickly winning my heart and I am looking forward to more as well as want to go back to the first Sullivan book and read the whole series.
♥ Narrator(s) ♥
Eva Kaminsky performance was excellent. There were clear distinctions between her male and female characters. I did pick up a smidge of Irish accent in the recording. It is not very noticeable and it didn't interfere with my listening enjoyment. If anything it made me giggle.
♥ Audio Production ♥
Normal speed was fine.

Now That I Found You, is Book One in the New York Sullivans series, technically - but book fifteen in the Bella Andre Sullivans world. For readers who have followed this large well connected family of siblings and cousins across the country from California to Washington, Maine and now New York, returning to the Sullivans is like a return to your family fold. Only everyone is beautiful, and talented, and wonderful and they all love each other. Which shouldn't deter the reader because the stories are rich and the characters are really, fully developed and the romances deliciously anticipated.
Drake Sullivan and Rosa Bouchard couldn't be more perfect for one another. From the outset, their connection is like the storm that introduces them. Rosa's internal dialogue, self loathing and non-stop fear of being discovered get overwhelming and drag the story down in places. However, Bella Andre manages to craft a story that carries the reader through those points to get to the romance, the steamy fan-your-face hot stuff. And there's plenty of that.
Eve Kaminsky does an outstanding job narrating the story - breathing life into both male and female characters and keeping a pace that helps move the reader through the extensive internal monologues and narrative world building pieces. Her pitch is perfect during dialogue scenes and captures the sexy sensuality of the romance scene.
The world needs more Sullivans

"Now That I've Found You" by Bella Andre
My Thoughts...
This novel was right up there with all the other Sullivan novels by this author...and this one "Now That I've Found You was simply excellent! And yes, I have read them all. Truly Drake Sullivan [sexy and intense] and Rosa Bouchard [sweet and passionate] were definitely meant for each other ...a 'Reality TV Star and a Artist.' But getting there will not be a easy ride with each of these two characters who had some flaws to get over. This was a beautifully well written story of just how that will happen. Not wanting to spoil anything but only to say you must pick up the well written story and listen or read it for yourself. The setting where this story takes place is simply beautiful....in the 'Montauk and the Adirondacks.' The characters..Drake, Rosa, with the New York Sullivans [Suzanne, Harry, Alex and William] were simply well developed, defined and oh so believable giving the reader one interesting read. Now, we Sullivan fans will be waiting for the next novel about another NY Sullivan series.
Good NY Sullivan Read!
