Everything We Found!

Everything We Found by Kerry Lonsdale

(Everything #4)

Women's Fiction, 364 pages

Published August 3, 2026 by Bookouture

From multi-million copy bestselling author Kerry Lonsdale comes a heart-pounding and suspenseful romance full of longing, heat and a second chance at love against the odds…

On the outside, Nadia Jacobs is a cool, confident architect at the top of her game. But for the past decade, she’s been quietly building walls to keep the people she loves most at arm’s length. All because of him.

Thomas Donato sacrificed everything when he forced Nadia to keep a dangerous secret from everyone they knew. He did it to protect his family. But it cost him the woman he’s secretly loved since they were kids.

Now he wants back into Nadia’s life. Nadia’s heart does a familiar skip-and-stumble when met with his hesitant smile, but she sees through his Thomas is achingly alone. And letting him in risks losing everyone and everything she holds dear.

When his past abruptly crashes into their present, they are both suddenly on the run. Not only are they forced to confront the price of a secret they’ve kept for a decade, but a truth even more their feelings for each other.

With time running out and nowhere to hide, will their love heal what darkness broke in them all those years ago, or will it shatter them forever?

My thoughts about Everything We Found ~~

(I love to note the first lines of the books I'm reading. First lines can really grab a reader's attention and I love seeing where the author takes the reader after their first line.)

First line—"The night before the funeral, as he gazed into the belly of  a casket weighed down with sandbags in place of his younger brother's body, Thomas Donato accepted his fate. He was the villain of this story."

I am absolutely in love with this series—the Everything series by Kerry Lonsdale. But I have to say that Everything We Found might be my favorite of all of these stories. This one just hits different. It was a rollercoaster of a ride with an edge-of-my-seat vibe that the other ones did not have. I loved it!! 

The truth about Nadia and Thomas' lives—and lies—is finally revealed and boy, did I have it all wrong. Nothing about their past was at all what it seemed to be, hence the rollercoaster ride. And I couldn't read fast enough to get to the exciting conclusion! So intense!!

This was the perfect ending to this amazing series. I highly recommend each and every story! 

I received a copy of Everything We Found from the author and this is my honest opinion.

Read my thoughts about Everything We Keep, Everything We Left Behind, and Everything We Give.

Release Day! A Crimson Rose by Grace Greene ~ My Thoughts #ACrimsonRose

Happy Release Day!

Congratulations Grace

on the release today of

A Crimson Rose!

A Crimson Rose by Grace Greene

(Crimson Grove #3)

Multigenerational Fiction, 132 pages
Published July 16, 2026 by Kersey Creek Books

A Crimson Rose is the third story in the heartwarming women's fiction series, Crimson Grove, about family, second chances, and the unexpected ways in which love can reshape lives.

Amelia Hennipen lives in the small town of Crimson Grove, Virginia, where she has devoted herself to caring for Aunt Henny, the elderly grandmother of her late husband, Simon. Years earlier, Simon abruptly left their marriage, and shortly afterward he died, leaving Amelia with unanswered questions and a life centered on responsibility rather than personal happiness.

Everything changes when eleven-year-old Sybil Rose arrives unexpectedly at Hennipen House. But is the change for the worse or the better?

Amelia’s life is already full of responsibilities. Aunt Henny’s Alzheimer’s won’t get better. The house and property need serious attention. And now there’s a girl who’s grieving and who doesn’t want to be at Hennipen House. And what about Nathan Shaw? Is there room in Amelia’s life for him and their growing feelings for each other?

A Crimson Rose is a story about discovering that love often arrives in unexpected forms and at unexpected times, and endures in the most unlikely circumstances.

My thoughts about A Crimson Rose ~~

(I love to note the first lines of the books I'm reading. First lines can really grab a reader's attention and I love seeing where the author takes the reader after their first line.)

First line—"There have been many nevers in my life."

A Crimson Rose took me on another trip back to the interesting world of  Amelia, Henny, Sybil, and the rest of the gang. I love all of these wonderful characters and enjoy all of the interactions and support they have for one another. 

I have enjoyed all of Grace Greene's stories and this series is right up there at the top. I love everything about it and am always excited when I get to take a trip back to see the crew. You can just feel the love and compassion that comes from each one of them. 

Check out the Crimson Grove series if you want a pleasurable experience that will fill your heart with love and hope. I love all of the stories and highly recommend this series!

I received an ARC of A Crimson Rose and this is my honest opinion of the book. 

************************

A Crimson Heart was released this past November for a holiday visit at Hennipen House with Amelia and Henny. It was a time of stress for them, yes, but also a time of unexpected blessings. But when the holidays ended, Amelia and Henny said there was more to their story, and I agreed, so Crimson Grove became a series. 

A Crimson Promise, the 2nd novella in the series, is another story of the perils of heartbreak, unexpected blessings, and of love reshaping our lives and the joy of recreating family. 

The hardest promise to keep is the one you never in-a-million-years dreamed you’d have to make.

A Crimson Rose will release on July 16th. Preorder here.
