Hallie was the heart of this book. although I loved her, there was nothing surprising about it since she is a female main character of Catherine Cowles. she was a dedicated, altruistic, kind, and empathic woman, but her personality was also shaped by her anterior fights, demons and flaws.

her relationship with the kids broke me into thousands of taters and then stitched me back together in every scene, sketching how the kids were falling gradually in love her and how she was falling irrevocably in love with them. Hallie was given a different approach with each child by the author, which I absolutely loved. she managed to develop an unique and unbreakable bond with Luke, Drew, and Charlie, whom had distinct personalities that were greatly influenced by their ages.

I fell slowly for all the tiny parts of Lawson's character scattered throughout the 'Lost & Found Series'. the overbearing protective brother, the devoted and selfless son, the loving and caring father. the heroic chef of police. this book regrouped so harmonically every bit and piece of his personality that blossomed in the manner he fell head over heels with Hallie. their very first encounter bruised and marked their souls and i found that it just built on some layers of depth to their bond. their relationship was the epitome of pure. it was all caricatured in the way he treated her, the way he cared for her, the way they trusted each other so fearlessly, the way their attraction and love burn slowly but with such beauty throughout the storytelling. they redefined the cursed line 'right person, wrong time' and give each other a second chance by healing each other hearts.
