Wow. Sara these books keep getting better and better. This was a continuation of Katie and Jackson’s story. This had a lot more come out in this book. Especially with Katie’s parents. Conrad opened up about things when he was younger and met Katie’s mom. I loved everyone in the Holt family. I can’t wait to read the next book. This ended on a cliffhanger so be prepared same as the other books. But it was so worth the read.

My Heart Aches!
For most of this book, my heart ached. It ached badly for Katie and Jackson, however, seeing them start to heal brought it back to life. This author is so talented in making the reader experience the feels. I just could not put this down and ended up reading it in one sitting. I loved every word, page and chapter. I’m so happy she has decided to write a fourth, because I need more from this couple and am dying for them to get the full story that they deserve!

I received an Advanced Reader Copy and am voluntarily reviewing it. Ms. Hurst, thank you so much for allowing us to read your book. This series is everything. This book picks up exactly where book two finishes. Jackson and Katie go through it in this book. Jackson was to deal with feeling of inadequacy. Can he protect Katie? Will she ever forgive him for this?
I think this is exactly what most couples go through when they have something traumatic happen in their relationship. I think that’s why this book is so relatable. Jackson and Katie could be anybody. Readers will feel every hurt, shout and tear. Ms. Hurst definitely knows how to convey her characters feelings.
As usual, Jackson’s family is there for it all. Katie is family now. Katie becomes the woman readers knew she could be. She takes a stand and handles not only Jackson but her family as well. All I am going to say is get ready for a ride. If you have been reading this series, you know this couple is going through a lot. The revelations keep coming. Will they stick it out or will the lies and secrets finally pull them apart?

OMG, what a book this was. The third instalment in our journey of Jackson and Katie – for any new readers, books need to be read in order and do check the trigger warnings on this.
This book will have your heart pulled out due to the raw emotion that seeps of the pages as you feel everything that both Katie and Jackson go through, the aftermath of book 2, and how they come to deal with what happened to each of them and how they can move on and move forward and get back to what they had before. We have to remember that these two only have been together for eight weeks and can the ordeal that they went through which would put anyone on edge, come out the other end.
these two have a pure connection of love, two souls meant for each other and they will fight through the pain of the emotional and physical torture that they endured to get back to what they had before. Their fight together is not easy, it’s not straight forward and we are taken on a journey with Katie and Jackson as they try to rebuild themselves and their relationship.
Sara Hurst is an amazing author that has put so much love and emotion into this book that it grips you in so many ways. To deal with a sensitive subject matter of trauma from both a male and female perspective that is not briefly addressed but how you would expect this couple to feel was so well done.
I honestly can’t wait for more.

Reading this book shattered my heart, then slowly mended it back together. Katie and Jackson are two characters that will be hard to forget. The love, the inner strength and resilience of these two can only be admired. Though they haven’t been together long, there is already a soul-deep connection between them and a love that can withstand the worst situations. Unfortunately, it has to withstand the depravity and torture that their twisted stalkers heaped upon them. Beyond their physical injuries, Katie and Jackson must confront and deal with the emotional and mental injuries as well. Both are tortured by shame, guilt and fears that nothing will ever be the same again, that their relationship might not survive this horrific situation. Even with family and friends rallying around them for protection and to offer unwavering support, both Katie and Jackson are struggling with the heavy burden of emotional turmoil. Will they survive this crisis as a couple or push each other away?
Reading this very compelling and intense book required multiple tissues and having to pause to calm myself before continuing. The one thing that shines brightly through this book is the deep abiding love between Jackson and Katie. I can’t wait to read the next book, the conclusion of their story as well as their well deserved happily ever after.

Wow. The way Sara writes how trauma affected the two main characters is incredible. The details of how day to day things become scary when you were a hostage is insane. I have never been so impressed on how a writer writes on trauma. I love the suspense and thrill. Hursts writing is hard to put down as she leaves you wanting more at the end of each chapter. The entire book was incredible. Not once did I find it boring. I loved how Sara writes with such great detail that you feel like you know the characters. Sara makes you not only fall in love with the story line but the characters as well even if they are small characters. The last few chapters made my heart swell with joy for Katie and Jackson. The ending was so unexpected in such a good way as I’m stuck having to read the last book as I need to know what happens!!

BOOKS 1 & 2 HAVE TO BE READ FIRST. AND LOTS OF TISSUES!!!
Oh man, I have read a lot of trilogies but this one took the cake for me. We are back again with Jackson and Katie and their survival is like no other. Jackson and Katie have been through hell and back literally. The torture and stuff done to them is so heart-wrenching that I didn't think they would survive. Now these two have to fight like hell to get back to the love they know is there. Jackson is fighting to protect Katie at all costs no matter what, but in the process, he starts to lose himself. What I love though is Katie is tough as nails and she is right there having his back. This book is so emotional and it does have triggers so please be mindful. But the way Sara finished their story was so beautiful. Find out how they survived.

Oh, my word! Fast-paced, hold your breath, white-knuckled reading! I was bawling my eyes out. I read this in one sitting!
Katie and Jackson need a break! I was cheering for these two the whole book. The old adage that if it weren't for bad luck, they'd have no luck at all applies to these two. The heartbreak they have been through is bringing them closer together, forging a stronger bond. They're not letting events break them, though it might be close. This third book has everything you want to pull you in and keep you going. Some shocking twists and turns will leave you hanging at the end.
You have to read the previous two books to get the whole story, and is it ever a whopper of a tale!

I have read each of Sara's books from books 1 and 2 of the Love and Survival series, as well as the spin-offs. This book is no exception to the phenomenal writing and storytelling that I've found in each and every one of Sara's books.
My heart bleeds for Jackson and Katie's experience and trauma. The way Sara has them healing and coping is so real that it makes the story even better, in my opinion. The shock at the end has me reeling for book 4.
I cannot wait to see what comes next, and I will continue to stop everything when Sara Hurst releases a book.
Honestly, I wish I could rate this higher than a 5 star.

Knowing before I started reading that this was going to be an emotional rollercoaster, I kept the Kleenex handy. That was a good call as I cried through most of the first chapter. Jackson and Katie have suffered so much but the strength within each of them merges to an even greater strength as they start healing.
Sara has done an amazing job working her reader through all that happens in this story. And I agree with Sara that this couple has so much more to say and am glad there will be a fourth book. I do not like cliffhangers but this one was exciting. Read the trigger warnings.

I love every book that I have read by Sara Hurst and Finding Us Again, book three of the Love and Survival Series, is no exception. The first two books need to be read before this one. I recommend you have several boxes of tissues for all three. This book was so emotional for me. I loved it so much. Katie and Jackson have gone through a lot and having to begin again is not easy when you both have trauma. I cannot wait to read more books by Sara!
As always be mindful of trigger warnings, what I like you may not.
Happy Reading!

I was so excited to dive back into Jackson & Katie’s world after what happened in book 2 and it didn’t disappoint. This book pulls at your heartstrings as we watch Jackson & Katie try to rebuild their lives after the trauma they suffered and I t was so good to see they didn’t just suddenly get over everything, we saw them struggle with what happened aswell as how to move on from it. This book made me cry but in the best way!! Can’t wait for book 4.

This is the third book in this series, and this is Jackson and Katie’s journey.
This is a well written story which is action packed, with emotions, family, friendships, revelations lies, secrets, survival, revenge, retribution, tension, betrayal, and love, which leads to an unpredictable and steamy page turner.

Get ready to go on an emotional ride with Jackson and Katie in this book! I felt like Hurst ripped my heart out with everything these two faced. I had tears in my eyes several times while reading this book but don’t worry there is happiness and some spice too. I can’t wait for the next book so these two can get the vengeance they deserve!!!

Katie and Jackson
What a journey. You know an author has done their job when you smile, laugh and shed a tear. The story of recovery, the anger, the hate for their captors but process to find themselves again. I can't wait for the next book.

This book is an emotional Rollercoaster of a read. It started off by breaking my heart but by the end everything was all better. Our main characters go through alot throughout this story. Be sure to read the first two before going into this one.
July 20, 2025
This third in the story.. Read the triggers before you proceed. There are a few.
This picks up after the kidnapping and assault. Two people trying to figure out how to move on, and overcome.
There is a lot of sorrow, trauma, and joy that happens in this story.

Oh Jackson and Katie!!! This couple has been thru it all and their love is stronger than ever.
In this book, you find them escaping from captivity and slowly healing themselves. The trauma from their abduction is not an easy thing for either of them to move on from. And there is a huge plot twist in the 2nd half that will either make or break Jackson and Katie as a couple. Hopefully, a HEA is in the works.

This series has done it again, i only gave a four star because I though the series would be finished, and I waited to read it because i didn't want it to end. (Im more mad at me) thank you for the warning at the start though
I love the topics disgust within the book, but something for me was missing; bring on book four

Revenge, retribution and recovery this series had it all and then some. Jackson and Katie need to fight through it all.
This series will shattered your heart in to a million pieces, you will go through every emotion possible. It's a wild rollercoaster ride that has twists and turns you don't see coming , you will be on the edge of your seat, with your heart racing, I know I was.
I ate it up, never putting it down for a minute I was hooked from the start.
Katie and Jackson have been through so much it's devastating and heartbreaking, but they are strong and will get through it. Their love for each other knows no bounds. It shines so bright and they can wether what ever is thrown their way. Highly recommend.
