Lost & Found - Emerson Reign

This series has broke and healed me. I fell in love Pasha back in the beginning of Kinsey’s story. Same with Isabella. I loved her before I knew her name. Same with Victoria and Winter. I love these characters so much. I enjoyed the growth and journey Bella goes through. I also liked that Pasha also had Marcel to help him and hold him accountable with his journey. Isabella and Pasha have great chemistry as well. I thought the friends to lovers dynamic. They are so cute and I love them together. The slow burn was just so good. I can’t wait for the family to see them together. I love this authors writing and I can’t wait to read more.

Vibes 💫 tense, melancholy

Moods ⭐️ amused, heartfelt, and worried for part 2

[Hay Boardman · Rating 5 out of 5]

From the very first chapter, I was sucked in. Just kept saying “one more chapter. Just one more chapter” until I realized it was 1am and I had to be up in four hours.

Part 1 starts with Isabella’s story from the moment she got kidnapped, her time with the Mask and the collector, to being rescued. Emerson does a great job of pulling at your heart strings but not making it so “pitch black” that you need to take a little menty B. There’s definitely hard scenes to read, so check your TW but it was beautifully written. And whoever X is. Gosh I just wanna give that girl a hug. I hope she gets a book or two and finds herself a man who loves her despite everything done to her.

Part 2
-the slow burn….freaking chefs kiss
- the banter between all the characters, and how they all have just become a big family who love each other deeply….another chefs kiss
- Not going to lie, sometimes I just wanted to shake Isabella and tell her to just jump Pasha bones, and stop overthinking things. But when she finally did (sleepy time Pasha- iykyk) it was freaking HOT. Like hot hot. There aren’t many spicy scenes this book BUT when there was it was steamyyyg
- Pasha you are just a top tier book boyfriend. You’re the perfect mix of golden retriever but will quickly be a German shepherd when needed. You are just perfect. Obsessed with her, possessive, caring, can actually communicate and express feelings. 10/10
- The scenes where Isabella takes no shit from stupid ex Hannah, LOVED IT! I was smiling at her witty comebacks and one liners.
- I was just so happy when I finished the last chapter. Pasha just being ready and willing to go to battle with Isabella without a second thought, them already acknowledging that they were pretty much a couple and the feelings were real. I finished with just a snails on my face, just thinking yesss! Book 2 is going to be just them two falling more in love, going on their road trip, “slaying demons” in a sense. And then I read the afterword…….

The afterword: I’m unwell by what was said on that entire page. WHAT DO YOU MEAN “it will hurt” ??????? What do you meannnnnnnn???

5⭐|4🌶️|18%🌶️frequency

I don't beta read for a lot of authors. Only a very small amount. Emerson is one of them because I absolutely love her books. She has me in a chokehold with her season sisters. I knew from the very beginning that I needed to read the stories of every single one.
Their stories are dark. Very dark. Their shared past broke not only my heart, it broke so much more inside me 💔 Getting k!ddnaped at the age of 8/10 and held capt!ve for 2 years is already bad enough, but it wasn't. It was so much worse. Really really worse 😭
I don't want to say more right now. I'd rather talk about Isabella and Pasha 🩷

I felt a connection between them from the very beginning. And yes, I believe they are more than just soulmates. Luckily, Pasha got rid of his horrible girlfriend. I couldn't stand her. Hannah was always jealous of Kinsley, and that's the last person to be jealous of. I mean, Kinsley has three 🔥 men already 😉
Hannah is history now, and I hope she stays that way, because she's obsessed with Pasha 😖

This book is again a duet, so it ends in the middle of the story. It's not a breathtaking cliffhanger, but still...
I'm definitely afraid of the next book 🙈 It will be so heavy. We only know what Kinsley and Victoria told about the past, but Isabella experienced a few other things too 😱

This book might not have a lot of 🌶️y scenes, but ooh, the last one 🥵🥵🥵 it's sooo 🔥

Sorry, I have to stop, but the good thing about duets is, there will be another review, and I can put more into that one 😉


Thanks to the author for trusting me with a BETA🩷

Lost&Found-Emerson Reign
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
🌶🌶🌶

This book is every bit as traumatic. Healing beautifully written as the first five books. I think this book has a special place in my heart because I have read all the previous books and I've built up these 2 characters and I'm so happy to see them finally getting a more happy ending. Now, this book left off in a cliff. Anger, so we shall see how it goes in the next book. But i'm very excited to see how their journey takes them
I also really love that. They have the other characters in these books and how we're finally making headway towards meeting the last season's sister, winter.
This one was more of a slow burn then, the previous books. It creates realistic boundaries with some slight miscommunication, but honestly, they really focused on the found family aspect and the talking things out, and I find that very enjoyable for a book

So if you enjoy kind of a darker traumatic story that pulls on the heartstrings, but also will heal you in their journey towards their own goals and healing, also a found family aspect. This is the series for you. This is the newest book, and it is not a standalone. They are all connected, so you would have to go. Read the first books. But I highly encourage anyone who enjoys these aspects of books to do it because this series is just amazing

[Robin · Rating 5 out of 5]

I would give this so many more stars than 5! I am so invested in the Season Sisters Saga. I love every bit of every book in the series. The good, the bad, the sweet, the sexy, the traumatic - ALL. OF. IT. Emerson’s writing is so beautiful, the bigger story she has woven through each book, each sister, each relationship in such an amazing way. Every time I read another book in the series, it brings a sadness knowing it will all come to an end at some point. Isabella and Pasha’s relationship has the time and space to develop into something soul deep. I know that part 2 of their story will be incredible. I just hope they will survive what’s to come. Please note that these books are riddled with triggers, but if you can handle that it will be so worth it in the end. The books show what incredibly supportive friends/found family can do to help the sisters through the trauma of their lives. I appreciate receiving this early copy from the author.

Lost & Found, the next book in the Season Sisters series, is that good. Simply put. Izzy and Pasha are more than I expected. I never turn down a good friend’s to lovers story, and watching them fall, while also intimately experiencing Izzy taking her power and voice back, was something else.

And the cliff hanger… torture. I know it’s going to get, dark. Really dark. But I’m so ready.

I could go on… but really, anyone reading this review… go read these books. Start at the beginning so you experience it all, and I promise, you will fall in love with these stories and all of these characters.

Be prepared for some dark and spicy stories with heavy themes. And read your trigger warnings.

Thank you for the advanced read. This series is really something special.

[Reba Densley · Rating 5 out of 5]

Oh man I wish I could give this whole series more than 5 stars. I have loved this ride. I have waited impatiently for Isabella's story for awhile. I wanted to know her on a deeper level. Know why she is the way she is. And knowing just makes me want to cry for her. She is quiet, and affraid of new things but she's trying. And I love her for it.
Pasha is Pasha and that man is on my list of men I wish I had in my life. He is so sweet, fun, but yet serious when it counts. He's someone you want on your side.
I can't believe that this ended on the cliffhanger it did. I don't have the patients to wait because it's Isabells and Pasha and I was secretly hoping for these two.

[Joely · Rating 5 out of 5]

It is finally time for Isabella to shine- the first part of the duet for her story is lighter than some of the others in the series - but if you’ve made it this far into this series you know that heart ache and angst are just under the surface.

It was nice to explore the friends to lovers dynamic in this book. I’m ready for the next one!!!

I really enjoy that this series builds upon itself and that the other characters still play important roles - that does mean that it can’t really be read as a stand alone which could be intimidating for some readers, however this was worth the build up.

[Emily Fallow · Rating 5 out of 5]

I have grown to expect nothing less than exceptional writing from Emerson and I am never disappointed.

I love the way Isabella’s character develops and learns how to figure things out for herself. I love how she doesn’t ever back away from a challenge and I love how she is with Hannah.

I see pasha in a whole new light in this book and it makes me realize how perfect for eachother they always have been.

I cannot wait to find out what happens in the castle and how things evolve!

This book is 6 star by all means!

ARC Review

A Friends to Lovers romance, where intimacy is built on a solid foundation of friendship, trust, and loyalty.

We see Isabella's growth and healing journey and it is a beautiful thing. I am obsessed with her list and I love that Pasha is the one helping her with it.

Lost & Found felt like a different flavor of Emerson Reigns work. Not so trauma forward, but don't be fooled, she has been very clear that more is coming and it will be dark.

As always, read the TWs.
Emerson Reign has beautiful covers, dark trauma, and the cliff hangers are really steep.

[LINDSAY R · Rating 5 out of 5]

This series is my all time favorite. Every book is full of emotion and I truly love the characters. I often find myself, crying, laughing, hot & bothered and everything in between. This may be my favorite so far!
