This was the perfect ending to the Lost & Found Series. I’ve loved the way Lawson shows up for his family in the other books of this series, so I was excited to read his story. Hallie was strong, brave, and sweet. Lawson had so much baggage and the biggest heart. I loved watching them fall for each other. However, the romance did seem to be a little rushed for how hard Lawson was fighting his attraction to Hallie. Luke, Drew, and Charlie were an adorable addition to the story. They added depth and heart to it. The banter between Lawson and Hallie was perfect. Their spice was well timed. I loved the glimpses of all the other couples from the previous books. The plot hooked me quickly, and I had a hard time putting the book down. I was shocked by the big reveal. It wasn’t what I was expecting to happen. The ending wrapped up the story nicely and fit the characters. As always, I loved the epilogue and getting to see how it all worked out. I loved Lawson, but I think Roan is still my favorite Hartley!
