Book Synopsis
“Lydia was supposed to have an adventurous and exciting summer. Instead she’s done nothing more than read and eat takeout. Now it’s time to go home, and what does she have to show for it? A big fat nothing. Unless, of course, her trip to the airport somehow turns into something more than just a flight home.
Blake feels like he’s been sent on a wild goose chase. While work is piling up back in Denver, he’s on the other side of the country, hunting for some mysterious box that his grandfather left him. Well, no more. Nothing inside that box could possibly be more important than the opportunity to make it as the youngest partner at his firm. So he’s going home, and that’s that. But that’s before he discovers his flight has been cancelled.
When these two strangers meet at the airport, they make a split-second decision to search for the box together. Maybe with both of them on the hunt, Lydia can have her adventure and Blake can find the box. And maybe, if they’re lucky, they’ll even find some romance.”
The Ripple Effect Romance Series
“Like a pebble tossed into calm water, a simple act can ripple outward and have a far-reaching effect on those we meet, perhaps setting a life on a different course — one filled with excitement, adventure, and sometimes even love.”
Silver Linings is the second book in the Ripple Effect Romance Series. Come back in exactly two weeks for a review of Righting a Wrong and then every two weeks after that I will review the other books in the series. I will link the list below with all the reviews as I release them if you’d like to bookmark this page for future reference!”

My Review
Lydia is Jace’s sister from Righting a Wrong, which ends with her going to Charlotte, NC to take over the lease on Cambri’s condo for the rest of the summer. While she’s there she’s supposed to have grand adventures and a summer fling. Lost and Found picks up with Lydia at the airport…ready to head home at the end of summer. Don’t worry you didn’t miss much because all Lydia did all summer was read. However, that all quickly changes when she meets Blake, a fellow Coloradan on his way back home as well.
Blake’s story is that he’s a workaholic, always has been, on a mission from a beloved grandfather who has recently passed away. Blake’s grandfather has sent him to North Carolina to retrieve a box from a lady, however, after a quick look Blake quickly gives up eager to head back to work. When their flight is cancelled Blake and Lydia talk each other into staying in North Carolina for a few extra days for him to find this mystery woman and for her to find her adventure. Along the way they might find something else.
This book was seriously one of my favorites of the series. It was so good that I couldn’t want to see how it ended and read it less than an hour. The relationship between Lydia and Blake is one that grows fast but that you can see has real depth. I found myself pulling for not only Blake an Lydia but for his grandfather as well. If you don’t read any other book in the series this is the one you need to read!
