Maddie and Nash deserved all the happiness after all the crazy that went down trying to keep them apart.
The story kept me on my toes. I wasn't sure when the next hit was gonna come. I loved how protective Nash was of Maddie even before he realized the extent of what she had been through.
It was everything when they finally got to that point of breaking and just couldn't fight their love for each other anymore.
Excited to see more from this series!

Book 2 in the lost and found series was a wild ride. My heart hurt for maddie and everything she had been through but watching Nash put her pieces back together was beautiful. I think what made their relationship so captivating was their friendship prior, though at times i did want to throttle them for not seeing how completely head over heals they were for each other. The suspense aspect was absolutely wild though! It literally seemed like so many people were out to make sure these two were never happy butttt as they say karma has a way of coming back around. This book gave me some super feel good found family vibes and im so happy everything worked out for these two!

The Queen of romantic suspense has done it again!
Nash and Maddie have been friends for more than 20 years. After a traumatic event with her abusive ex, Maddie runs back to cedar ridge.
Nash wants to protect her but not ruin their friendship.
This one takes us past the 50% mark for them to admit their feelings, but it’s worth it!
-childhood friends to lovers
-one bed
-Who Did This To You
-stalker ex
-cute dog
Loved this! And did y’all see the next one is fake dating ?!?!?!

a fact : the suspense facet of the intrigue is not as refreshing as it used to.
the storyline walks through an identical and classic scheming with a succession of actions that culminates in the end and your typical small town romance filled with attaching characters —who have been through a lot, — family dramas and a breathtaking settings. it’s understandable that a redundant skeleton and plot-shape might.. bore? but I frankly don’t mind.
Maddie attempted to escape a violent and abusive ex by running to her natal town. back in Cidar Ridge she had no alternative but to confront her best friend, Nash, whom she somewhat brushed aside in the course of the two years that occupied her last relationship. but after some impromptu, disturbing, apparitions and revelations concerning her past, Nash made the decision to stay with Maddie in her rental cabin to protect her from any potential reprisals.
I loved both the protagonists. despite the friends to lovers arc not being one of my favorites, their bond was the cry of soulmates in the manner in which they acted with care and support toward one another.
the romance wasn’t fast passed, they took some time to act on their feelings and mutual attraction. the surprising part of their relationship was the smut scenes, and I was pleased that the author put in the effort to add more spice to her usual writing.
as always, the plot-line was well-complemented by the family dynamics and supporting characters.
i can’t wait to read roan and aspen book! still wondering with who lawson will end up but i just know im gonna love his book as well.

is it going to be the same ol’ recycled plot? yes. imma eat it up and love it? also yes.
❛Even when you were gone, the echoes of you still lived inside me, and I would play them over and over in my mind just so I wouldn’t lose the sound. I’ve loved you in every incarnation, and that will never end.❜

" Some part of me had thought something innate inside me called out for abuse.”(this quote broke me)
