I absolutely loved Hallie & Lawson's story.

I loved their initial connection and how they were brought together again. The protective fierceness that Law had for Hallie and the way Hallie fit into not only his life, but that of the boys too. Loved seeing everyone find the best versions of themselves.

Finally a series saves the best book for last! This whole series was phenomenal, but Law and Hallie take the best couple award. I’d been looking forward to Lawson’s book since the very beginning of the series and it didn’t disappoint! It did the age gap and nanny tropes so well and also the mystery was one of Cowles best EVER!

Ashes of You is the fifth and final book in The Lost & Found series. This book is about Lawson and Hallie and is told from both of their points of view.

Lawson is a single father to three boys. He needs help and hires a nanny and Hallie shows up for the job. She's the perfect candidate.

Lawson and Hallie have met in the past, and this past keeps showing up for these two characters. Something is happening that could put Hallie at risk.

Hallie has a lot of love to show even with everything she has gone though. I loved seeing how she acts around Lawson's sons, and how they have grown and bonded with her.

Will Lawson and Hallie get their happy ending? I loved every moment of this book, and couldn’t put it down. I'm sad to see this series go, but I'm excited to see what's next from this author!
