My Review:

The second book in a series, but this can stand alone. The author did a great job of filling in things at the start of the book. Otherwise, it connects just fine and we pick up with Mark, and his very happy life. Finally, he's got it all going well. His job is good, he's starting a new family, and things look like smooth "normal" sailing. Does that honestly ever really last? Not for Mark, because here comes trouble. Jess and Mark are helping with two little boys who need care, in addition to the fact that Jess is expecting a baby. With both of them having been FBI agents, they aren't stupid concerning dumb risks, but that isn't stopping things from happening. This story has romance, children, suspense, danger, faith, hope, love, and a full range of emotions as they deal with grief and loss from the past as well as trying to have a secure and healthy future. Over and over again their steps are guided by God, as they find themselves in places and situations they didn't anticipate. 

I found this to be a very strong read and it passed my expectations that I had from the cover and description.

More from Jennifer

The Lost and Found is the second book of the No Matter What series but can be read as a standalone. I needed to make sure my characters were happy and healthy after their adventures in the book one so the day I sent No Matter What to my editor, I started writing The Lost and Found.

I love to bake and when I was pregnant with our daughter, I craved all things sweet. One of the characters in the book has a similar craving so I created a recipe for her to enjoy. I’d love to share it with you.
