With more curves than a country road, Madeline Young makes me want to take a slow ride around every bend and dip of her body. And her husband Hudson has that sexy silver fox thing going on that clicks all my needy buttons his wife can’t reach.
They share a marriage found only in fairytales and make me want the same. When I find out the Youngs are on Missing Link, I think my dreams have come true.
The problem?
They just want to play…and I’m looking for love.
The masochist in me agrees to one last hookup before searching out my forever couple, and while wounds from their past keep their hearts locked up tight, I fall in deep.
But there’s a ticking bomb manipulating behind the scenes, one that makes emotions run high and bares vulnerability.
Will Madeline and Hudson allow me the opportunity to help them rebuild what they lost, or will the explosion of truth lay waste to my heart?

I was waiting for this book. I have been obsessed with Hudson and Madeline ever since we met then earlier in the series and I was so happy to finally read their story. I have been super into every book in this series so far and it was the same for this book, which I read fairly quicky because I was so into the story in this book.
It’s no secrets that past hurt, healing and hurt/comfort is like my favourite topic of all time, and I adored how it was done in this book. I loved the mix of harder to read moments that were full of trauma they were and the lighter and much cuter comfort scenes. I really liked reading about the commitment issues that were caused by past hurt that Hudson and Madeline had, I could really relate to them and I thought that it was shown in a brillant way.
I loved the romance in this one. I loved seeing how Hudson and Madeline were super scared to open their hearts to Colton but how they tried to do it regardless becajse they just really appreciated Colton and they really wanted him. I just found the romance in this book super sweet and I had a lovely time reading it.
This book was also super hot, which is always something that I appreciate in my books.
This was a wonderful reading experience and I had the best time reading this one. I was really looking forward to this book and it ended up being everything I wanted it to be.
I cannot get over how good this series is! I loved the characters in this one and the age gap was HOT! This was a little difficult for me as the issues they face hit close to home but I absolutely loved the book and really enjoyed the MM scenes especially. Definitely a must read.
Looking for Love is a beautiful sweet and steamy finale to the wonderful Missing Link series.
I loved how all 3 characters complemented each other perfectly, and I really connected with them throughout the story.
Madeline and Hudson were the model married couple, who had a true understanding of each other. He was the Alpha taciturn protector to her nurturing nature. They had suffered through trauma and deception, and were understandable reluctant to have a permanent addition in their lives.
Enter Colton (who is now another of my BBF). He added so much to the story. It was heart-breaking to read about his childhood, he only wanted to be loved!
There are so many great moments to treasure, lots of steamy scenes, and holy hotness MM scenes.
If like me, you enjoy MMF with spice and heart, then this is definitely for you.
This was such an easy read, that made my heart so happy! Yes there were moments of frustration but wow did these characters earn their HEA.
Our main couple Madeline and Hudson Young, have been through things no one ever should.. but they were intent on rebuilding as much as they could. I love the care they put into one another..
“The most unselfish woman, letting me love on you in the middle of the day even though you probably have a hundred things to do—I don’t deserve you, Mads.”
Colton is looking for more, for love, for a family, he wants to be the middle of a Young sandwich. I loved how he took the time to let them come to terms what with what was happening between them, never pressuring.
Yet another incredible story in the Missing Link world! Having met Colton in the previous book, Desiring an Angel, it was exciting to get to see his story play out!
This story was just as emotionally riveting as all of the other Missing Link books while maintaining a unique storyline and characters to help build the series’ world. Colton is playful and fun while also genuine with a past that gives him flaws and doubts. Madeline and Hudson are just as relatable, struggling to overcome issues that arose after the end of their last poly relationship. Watching this trio learn how to work together to overcome those doubts/traumas was dream worthy! Add in a hefty splash of swoon worthy spice and this book was an absolute page turner!!
I’m just as hooked on this series as ever and I hope we get to see even more Missing Link stories in the future!
After years of hookups with nothing to show for it, Colton is finally ready to settle down. But his dream is to find a man and woman he can share -- and lately his fantasies have revolved around a certain couple he's been working for while putting in their deck for the construction company he works for.
But while Hudson and Madeline are no strangers to sharing a man between them, they have put that part of their lives in their past because of being hurt by their ex.
However, sparks are flying between the three of them. And when they happen upon each other on the Missing Link app, they decide to give things a try -- even if it's just for a few nights of play.
This was okay. Not bad like the last one (Desiring an Angel), but not as good as the first two books in the series either.
We first met Colton in the last book, Desiring an Angel. He is friends with Rhett and he mentions wanting to find a couple for himself. Some of the phone conversations he has with him in that book overlap to this book, which was kind of cool.
I liked Colton. He came across a little desperate, but for the most part I liked him.
Hudson was very hot and cold. One minute he's all in and the next he is pushing Colton away. It was a little alarming and hard to connect with him.
I liked Madeline alright. I don't have any real complaints about her.
I can't say I felt the chemistry between them all very much though. The sex was hot, but a deep seated connection? Meh. I didn't really feel it.
I also don't really think the connection to the Missing Link app was strong enough in this one. All the other books in this series have really centered around that app. But in this one it's such a small part of them finding each other considering they had already met beforehand. But oh well.
I did like how they ended up adopting in the end. Considering Colton's background I thought this was such a sweet solution to Madeline's unwanted infertility and I was happy to see it.
Overall it was just okay. I'd highly recommend the first two books in this series (Seeking Two Lovers and Finding Their Place). Those two were so good with a great balance of story, emotional connection, and smut. The last two in the series (this one included) just didn't live up to the first two. Too bad, but oh well. I'd still definitely read more by this author, though -- especially more mmf romances!
This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.
Sweat dripping, sliding skin, smoldering glances, and sighs. There's something about this one that was smoking hot. It could be the silver fox hubby and his baker wife. It could be the hot young carpenter looking for his first love. No, it's the combination of the three of them finally finding what they have been looking for, what had been missing from their lives. Hudson, Madeline, and Colton complete each other in a way that is utter perfection. I had to stop and fan myself, cool the blush on my face. The pages were burned to a crisp by the flames between these three. The mutual attraction was so strong even though Hudson tried to deny it. The writing is so descriptive that you can easily picture the scene as if it were happening before you. This book was my absolute favourite in the series. I felt more drawn in by the characters, their stories more heart-wrenching. Coming back from a loss to living is no easy thing to accomplish. This is a story of love lost and love found, of building a stronger foundation to carry on to a brighter future for them all.
Colton wants what he sees through the patio door; a husband loving his sexy wife. He's come to know the couple while building the deck on the back of their house. Talking baseball with Hudson and baking with Madeline, getting to know the two of them while completing this job, has been so easy. It makes him realize that he's tired of the one-night stands. He doesn't see love the way other people might. He doesn't care whether it's a man or a woman; he doesn't discriminate. Both are exciting to him, and Hudson hits all his buttons just as much as Madeline does. All three have been eyeing what they want, hoping not to be caught doing so. Hudson wants to get his hands on Colton but is wary after the last man invited into their bed burns them badly. Madeline is very attracted to Colton, who is close to her age, fit as can be, and makes her feel the first hints of arousal after suffering a tragic loss. Hudson wants to see his beautiful wife come to life again under the hands of another man while he watches. He will only allow it to happen through a one-and-done meeting. He turns to the Missing Link app to try and find the mystery man who will help bring a spark back to his wife's eyes and sees Colton's profile. He knows he will either make the worst mistake of his life by clicking on the profile or the best thing in the world to help Mads find herself again.
This whole series is not to be missed. Finding true love through any of life's difficulties is a triumph to be celebrated. I loved reading about Hudson's, Madeline's, and Colton's journey to that amazing happily ever after.
A great addition to the Missing Link series! I get so excited when I see another book being released in this series! All unique with just the right amount of drama, angst, steam and the push and pull of a new relationship. Always ending with a happy and fulfilled threesome.
This was an emotional, heart wrenching story about a married couple who has had the most traumatic experience of their lives. That could cause any marriage to falter. It has driven a wedge between them. It hadn’t stopped the deep love that they had for each other but Madeline is depressed and not trying to move forward. But how can she when she went through one of the worst things that could happen to a woman. She’s broken and her husband Hudson wants to do anything in his power to help her.
Colton is a carpenter and has been hired to build a deck at the sexy couples home. There is an instant connection but Hudson is not bending but he wants what is best for his wife. If she wants to play with Colton then he will just watch.
Their ex had done a doozy on this married couple. They thought he was going to be their third forever until he betrayed them in the worst way on the day of a catastrophic event in Madeline and Hudson’s life. Colton was determined to show Hudson that he wasn’t their ex and he wanted them both. Hudson was stubborn and had his head up his butt for a bit. Hudson had walls all around his heart and he was afraid to even let them down an inch.
Colton had his own traumatic past that led to his needing them way more then they realized. There is some OM angst that causes some drama but Colton and Madeline are determined to make Hudson see that Colton is the man for them today, tomorrow and forever.
Colton, Hudson and Madeline do finally earn their well deserved HEA proving that family is not always about blood, it’s about the love you have to give another person unconditionally.
Looking for Love is book #4 in the Missing Link series. Make sure to check the trigger warning.
Lynn knows how to write a perfect book!!!
Looking for Love is Madeline, Hudson and Colton's story. Madeleine and Hudson are married and have been thru so much and they are dealing with a lot and Colton is the guy working on their patio that has caught both husband and wife's eye, but they are afraid to open their hearts again and all Colton wants is to be a part of what they have.
When Hudson decides to join Missing Link to help bring some happiness to his wife, and Colton joins wanting to find love, they end up matching and the sparks you guys!!! These 3 are seriously made for each other and I loved them.
This is an emotional, beautiful, spicy story and I never want this series to end!
What can I say? Lynn Burke has become my "go to" when I want a MMF storyline. She does them so well and every one she has written has been so good. This one is no exception. Book 4 in the Missing Link series is probably going to become one of those that I will get in print and put on my "special" shelf for books that touched something in me. This story was everything I wanted and more. 3 people finding each other through some rough times in their lives, but will those rough times stop them from achieving the dream all three want? This is so good and so heart touching that I couldn't stop reading it. If you love MMF, you NEED to get this book and the first three in the series. All are beautifully written!
This was such an amazing story, as Lynn Burke always does, her storytelling is such that it keeps you glued to the book, wanting the story to go on and on. I absolutely love Hudson, Mads and Colton’s story.
The emotions I went through as I went from page to page, from seeing a committed couple and their love for each other, to welcoming a third which is something they had but their trust was broken. So they are hesitant but it’s something they need to make their life complete.
These three are perfect for each other, they just had to work through some issues but that ending and epilogue….how sweet it was! I highly recommend this story and the whole series.
I voluntarily reviewed an advanced copy of this book.
This MMF book is about Hudson Young and his wife Madeline Young and Colton Payne.
I didn’t like the promises Madeline and Colton made to Peter just to trick him into confessing what he had done. A promise should mean something and promises should not have been made when they knew they were lying to Peter ( even though Peter is a little worm ).
I was glad Peter finally got clean and moved on with his life living far away from Madeline, Hudson and Colton.
Colton’s emotional neglect and issues that came from being bounced around in foster care really helped the Youngs understand the importance of adopting children and giving unwanted or orphaned children a home.
I liked the HEA for this committed throuple.
I eagerly await the next book in the Missing Link series.
The Missing Link series has been amazing since book one. This is the fourth installment and in my opinion this one takes the cupcake! Raw emotions at every turn. You will grieve, swoon, melt, get angry, fall madly in love and you are going to cry. This author has a special talent where she grabs your heart and takes it on a non stop journey. Her characters come to life on the pages. I felt as if I was there with them, man do I wish that I was. A married couple looking to add some excitement back into their lives, a sexy as sin contractor who is tired of random hook ups and is looking for love. They are each looking for something different...or are they? This is one amazing ride!
This book absolutely took my breath away. I have been impatiently waiting for Colton's book since Desiring an Angel, and Lynn did not disappoint! I went through all of the emotions while reading this. Not just for Madeline, like I find I normally do, but I felt it for Colton as well. I instantly fell in love with those two characters. Hudson took me a little bit longer to let into my heart since he was so gruff and resistant, but once I did, he just stole my heart right out of my chest. How many times have we as humans pushed someone away because we were afraid of being hurt again? Man did I love this story.
I very much enjoyed the story of Hudson, Madeline and Colton. This story had a lot of heart and healing in it. Each person healing and needing something different that they could only get from each person. Colt yearning to find a love he had never had before, Madeline healing and learning to feel again and Hudson wanting to help his wife heal and find a missing piece. All three fighting to move forward and find out what could become and the chance at happily ever after. It’s a heartwarming story adding a tally to the Missing Link’s success.
I loved this book!! You know when you connect with characters so much it feels like it’s you in the story and going through all the feels. Well, that was me with Madeline. The connection she has with her husband is beautiful, and the intimacy they openly share had all my bits fluttering. Because Colton is one hot addition to this beautiful couple, and fits like a missing puzzle piece they hadn’t been able to find. This book is hella hot and made me want to play 😉! So, do I recommend it? Yes!! I also recommend a comfy spot and someone or something to help you enjoy the flutters.
Just WOW my heart is so full right now I can't say enough how much I loved this story, the emotions, turmoil, trust and the fear these characters went through just breaks my heart and melts it all at the same time in their journey.
This was written to pure perfection I could feel it all like standing on the sidelines watching them and once started I couldnt stop. I loved it so so much and the steam is off the charts hottttt and I won't be forgetting them anytime soon they just stay with you and I love that in a story.
This started out slow and sweet with a hint of temptation and voyeurism. Colton working on the deck of Hudson and Madeline, feels drawn to them, but not sure if it would be reciprocated. Heartache for what was lost and anger at somebody who broke trust, depression and withdrawal each played a role and needed to be overcome to reach the full potential for this family and the fulfillment of dreams and yearning. As always this author has written this account as if we are right there, feeling every emotion and doubt. I received a copy and this is my honest and voluntary review.
This book was so emotional for me to read. Colton is a reformed player who lusts after a couple he is working for. Hudson and Madeline are a married couple that were hurt by their third and suffered a great loss because of it. When the three come together is hot and just perfect. A book you need to read anytime of the year.
This was such an easy read, that made my heart so happy! Yes there were moments of frustration but wow did these characters earn their HEA and i enjoyed every minute of this read
Our main couple Madeline and Hudson Young, have been through things no one ever should.. but they were intent on rebuilding as much as they could. I love the care they put into one another.. and the step they go through for one another. They aren’t afraid to call each other out.
Colton is looking for more, for love, for a family, he wants to be the middle of a Young sandwich. I loved how he took the time to let them come to terms what with what was happening between them, never pressuring. But read to handle business when called upon.
No one writes MMF Romance like Lynn Burke. This was amazing, had all my favorite tropes, just the right amount of heartbreak and rollercoaster and honestly, couldn't be beat! I am so hopeful this series will get another book because it deserves it!
Sometimes the answer to a broken heart is another broken heart that needs the promise of forever. Colton wished for a forever home his whole life while living in the system. When he meets Madeline and Hudson Young he soon realizes his wish is within his reach… if only he could convince them.
Madeline and Hudson have wounds that run deep and a loss that left scars that cannot be ignored or forgotten. Are they ready to explore love again? Taking the first step is the hardest. Using Missing link app Hudson finds a match and their healing begins. The steamy chemistry between the throuple is outer worldly!
