Everything We Give

Everything We Give by Kerry Lonsdale 
Series: Everything #3
Print and e-book, 300 pages
Published July 3rd 2018 by Lake Union Publishing

From the author of Everything We Keep comes the final novel in the Amazon Charts and Wall Street Journal bestselling Everything Series. Brimming with suspense, mystery, and romance, Everything We Give brings to a powerful close the gripping series of love, lies, and the secrets families keep.

Award-winning photographer Ian Collins made only one mistake in life, but it cost his mother her freedom and destroyed their family, leaving Ian to practically raise himself. For years he’s been estranged from his father, and his mother has lived off the grid. For just as long, he has searched for her.

Now, Ian seemingly has it all—national recognition for his photographs; his loving wife, Aimee; and their adoring daughter, Caty. Only two things elude him: a feature in National Geographic and finding his mother. When the prized magazine offers him his dream project on the same day that Aimee’s ex-fiancé, James, returns bearing a message for Ian but putting a strain on his marriage, Ian must make a choice: chase after a coveted assignment or reconnect with a mysterious woman who might hold the key to putting his past to rest. But the stakes are high, because Ian could lose the one thing he holds most dear: his family.

Another busy week and weekend. Summer has definitely arrived with temps in the 90's. I shouldn't complain, with other parts of the country above 100 for long stretches. We traveled to Nebraska on Friday to spend the weekend with my 86 year old mother-in-law. We had a good time, which sometimes isn't the case, depending on how the she is feeling. Got back late Sunday night and had to head into work this morning. Days like this make me a little envious of hubby, who is retired. Oh well, my time will come, right? 

Thanks for stopping by. I hope you all have a great week. Happy reading!

Everything We Left Behind by Kerry Lonsdale ~ My Thoughts

Everything We Left Behind

Everything We Left Behind  by Kerry Lonsdale
Series: Everything We Keep #2
Print and ebook, 348 pages
Published July 4th 2017 by Lake Union Publishing

From the Wall Street Journal bestselling author of Everything We Keep comes the highly anticipated sequel. Told from one man’s two perspectives, Everything We Left Behind effortlessly blends suspense, mystery, and romance in an exploration of loss, resilience, and the compelling need to protect the ones we love at all cost.

Two months before his wedding, financial executive James Donato chased his trade-laundering brother Phil to Mexico, only to be lost at sea and presumed dead. Six and a half years later, he emerges from a dissociative fugue state to find he’s been living in Oaxaca as artist Carlos Dominguez, widower and father of two sons, with his sister-in-law Natalya Hayes, a retired professional surfer, helping to keep his life afloat. But his fiancée, Aimee Tierney, the love of his life, has moved on. She’s married and has a child of her own.

Devastated, James and his sons return to California. But Phil is scheduled for release from prison, and he’s determined to find James, who witnessed something in Mexico that could land Phil back in confinement. Under mounting family pressure, James flees with his sons to Kauai, seeking refuge with Natalya. As James begins to unravel the mystery of his fractured identity, danger is never far behind, and Natalya may be the only person he can trust.

My thoughts about Everything We Left Behind ~~

(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—"He dreamed about her again. Blue eyes so bright and hot they branded his soul."

I recently read, and loved, Kerry's first book Everything We Keep and immediately jumped into this one. The first book is from the perspective of Aimee, the women who buries her fiancé on their wedding day. She is heartbroken but tries to carry on with her life, never forgetting the love of her life.

Everything We Left Behind is a continuation of this beautiful but heartbreaking love story, this time told from the perspective of James, the man who was buried all those years ago. I read these two books back to back and loved every minute of them. I was totally drawn into the character's lives and love and devoured both books.

Kerry is a new-to-me author but has now been added to my must-read list. I love these stories! And it looks like Everything We Give is coming in July 2018. Yay!! I am so excited to continue this series.

I received an ARC of Everything We Left Behind in exchange for my honest opinion.

What a blissful week! Hubby was out of town for an entire week. I love him and missed him but it's sometimes nice to have the house to myself, know what I mean? I even got in a couple of girls-only evenings. And lots of reading! Now I'm enjoying a 4-day weekend because for the 4th of July holiday. We never do much for this holiday, maybe we'll see some of the kids, maybe we won't, but it's nice to have the time off to just relax.  

If you are celebrating the 4th of July here in the US, have a fun, safe time! 

Thanks for stopping by. I hope you all have a great week. Happy reading!
