Rue Allyn liked Clarissa Nicole's review of Finding Jordie: " Finding Jordie is unlike other romance novels I've read. The lead, Jordie, is tough and author, HJ Harley, shows that throughout the series. She's not a damsel in distress but she learns to connect with Nathan despite her being so tough. A great r...
