Finding Forever

Lost & Found #4

by Kristen Casey

Twelve years is a long time to wait for the one you love.

Mina’s husband Grey was a problem long before he died, but the realization that it’s been two years since she buried him still startles her. She’s been so busy learning to fend for herself—learning to leave Grey’s ugly legacy behind—that Mina’s barely noticed her efforts were turning her into an empty shell of a woman. However, when a sexy friend from her past comes to town, she can finally recognize that she isn’t the one who died. There might be a lot of life left to live—if she’s willing to look behind a door she’s never dared to open.

Mack has always maintained a strict hands-off policy when it came to his buddy’s delectable wife Mina. Sure, he noticed her—a guy would have to be dead not to notice Mina. That didn’t mean Mack could do anything about it, though. For twelve long and painful years, he’s had to sit on the sidelines, watching the lousy way Grey treated her. But now that Mina is free, Mack knows he won’t pass up the chance to be with her himself. He wants it all—except there’s a very real possibility that the woman he hungers for can’t give him what he needs. Mack has no idea what happens then.

Can Mina and Mack seize their shot at forever, once and for all? Or will the demons Grey left behind sink them both?

Mina O’Connell has been hurt by the ones she loved, first her alcoholic parents and then her emotionally abusive, controlling, cheating dead husband. Added to that is the secret life her husband Grey had, he wasn’t the golden Marine that everyone thought, but he always made her feel like she was less and everything was her fault. Mack Bolton has been in love with Mina ever since he first saw her 12 years ago, but he couldn’t do anything about it because she was with his best friend. It’s been two years since Grey died in a car accident and Mina and Mack are alone together at her sister-in-law’s vacation house and they finally act on their feelings for each other. Mack was the supportive friend who took care of Mina, but he married another while he had feelings for Mina and kept talking about leaving their spouses and running away together. Mina has trouble trusting after years of abuse and she keeps pushing Mack away. But I was still rooting for them to find their HEA.

The author was right with this one when she said she writes heartfelt, steamy books.

There is a triangle of sorts with Grey one upping his friend Mack by hitting onto Mina & eventually marrying her. These two have an amazing friendship & they reconnect after Greys death.

Grey was in the military & he was glorified by everyone, but Mina was the probably the only one knowing his dark side. The story flits from past to present with the story unravelling one very complicated mess. A lot of this Mina had no hand in or knew of.

Mack is a real standup guy, being Minas rock but he has a long journey ahead of him so they both get their HEA as Minas past is constantly dragging her down. Add in a bit of steam as well.

After getting a hint of Mina’s story in book three, I couldn’t wait to get my hands on this book! Initially, I wondered what was wrong with Mina. Mack seemed like the perfect man - what was she doing?!? However, after the first few chapters, her whole story starts to reveal itself and I could not put this book down...I finished it in a day! Everything became clear and I felt sympathy for Mina’s situation. As always, Kristen Casey writes the best dialogue - full of humor and witty banter! And as for her male characters, that are so real I wish I knew them? I’m going to put Mack Bolton right on that list with the Hughes brothers from Finding Love!
You don’t want to miss this series!

I wrote this book, so I admit to being partial, but seriously --I adore Mack and Mina’s sexy, heartfelt, multi-layered love story and the way it unfolds piece by piece. As each new detail emerges, readers discover a bit more about this couple’s history and learn exactly what these two have been through – and just why they are meant to be! Mina has had a tough time, for sure, and she's the first to admit that her choices weren't always top-notch. Luckily, Mack is exactly the kind of steady, loyal, passionate man to take her rocky road and help set it straight. I can't get enough of this couple once they find their HEA, and I know you'll feel the same.

I received this as a gift from someone who knows how much I love intellectual and witty dialogue and a great beach read. I've bought and read the rest of Kristen Casey's books and really enjoyed them all but this is my favorite. Her books have a fresh and unique voice and for someone who reads as often as I do, I really appreciate that. I also liked the unexpected twists in this book. It was unpredictable which is refreshing! Best of all is her dry, laugh out loud humor. I rooted for the main character Mina all the way and loved the ending!

[Treasa · Rating 5 out of 5]

A book I was not putting down once I had started it, the fourth book in the Second Chances series. Mina's husband Grey was not a nice man from the moment she meets him what a lot came out after his death. She should have been Mack's twelve years before. I enjoyed reading this second chance story and I liked the way it turned out. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

This is the 1st book I’ve read written by Kristen Casey; she has done a great job at writing a good book. I can’t wait to read more of her books.

The story line caught my attention at the very beginning and kept me interested throughout the entire book.

I loved the chemistry between the characters.

[Deb · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book had everything I love about a book. A tortured female who is emotionally broken. The author wrote her very convincingly. Then we have her husband's friend who has had feelings for her for a long time. The story had an emotional connection with the reader and the characters. I wouldn't have thought that this book would have as much humor as it did given the blurb but it definitely was a wonderful addition to the story.

[Brenda Moser · Rating 5 out of 5]

Watching the evolution of the relationship between these two was a treat. Her writing draws you in and keeps you involved throughout the whole story.

This is a book about true love, making mistakes and fighting for what you want.

Fantastic read

I received a free copy of this book however all thoughts and opinions are 100% my own.
This is a brilliant read that grabs you from page one and keeps you firmly in place until the last page. I think this is all helped along by all the little witty outbursts sprinkled within.
