CW: kidnapping, panic attack, stalking, violence, murder

I got teary at several spots in this one. I enjoyed reading how Hallie worked with the boys. I enjoyed how supportive the women in Lawson's life were of Hallie. The mystery was well hidden. Not a lot of hints were dropped about the villain. I liked watching Lawson fall for Hallie.

What a beautiful ending to this beautiful series 😭 I've been waiting for Law's story since book 1 and this delivered!

Law and Hallie are so so perfect and I'm so happy they found eachother. They were both so sweet with the boys too 🥹 Big probs to Cowles for not only writing >10 y/os but teenagers and also writing them well, as a bigger sister to a 17 y/o boy, I can confirm the accuracy.

I found this series at a very dark and weird place in my life (in the hospital xoxo) and while things aren't perfect now, they're better and I'm so glad these books were there for me during it. The Hartleys definitely found their way into my heart ❤

P.S.: I feel like I can't really rate this book lower because of it (bc every romance has it) but jfc, does EVERY couple in EVERY romance have to end up w kids 🙃

MY HEART 😭 a million stars for hallie and lawson. their love and connection was perfectly perfect and what an epic conclusion to the lost and found series.

in this book we get single dad, she’s the nanny, age gap, and a tortured past. plus the way these kids crack me up🥹 i can’t say it enough, perfection.

if you haven’t already, add this series to your TBR! available on KU, although i think i need to buy the physical copies

5 🌟

Another 5 stars for Catherine Cowles. Her books are always great romantic suspense and what a way to finish the series. 

But... After binge reading for of her books, I can say that the end starts to be a little bit repetitive.
