Christian Romance Suspense books are a great genre. I have grown to love to read this genre over the past couple of years. The Lost and Found by Jennifer Carr is the latest in this genre that I have read. It is Book 2 in the No Matter What series. I have read Book 1 in this series and was excited to read this book also!

WOW, this storyline really touched my heart. Mark and Jess Collins are starting life over in a new town and a new job for Mark. Mark's new job as county sheriff takes an odd turn of events when he discovers 2 homeless boys and their murdered mother. Jess is pregnant, yet Mark and Jess are trying to solve the mystery of the murder and the well being of the boys. Mark finds there is so much more to the Murder Mystery and begins to see dangers arise as he investigates further. The book really keeps the reader on the edge of their seat and I was drawn into the storyline from beginning to end! The story is about Trusting God, Faith, Family. The real message in this story is about adoption and I LOVE how the author wrote that topic into the book. I HIGHLY recommend this book to anyone who enjoys Christian Romance with Suspense. WONDERFUL BOOK!

A wife, mom, author, marriage and family counselor, a former AP Psychology teacher, and a podcaster, Jennifer draws from her life experiences and imagination to connect with her readers and listeners through the written and spoken word.
Married to her childhood best friend and the mom of a creative daughter, Jennifer enjoys a quiet life on their farm in Alabama.
When she’s not wearing one of her many hats, you’ll find her tucked away with a book and what’s likely her third coffee of the day.

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.

Momentum Influencers Blog Tour: UnSung Hero Movie Review and Giveaway

When David Smallbone's successful music company collapses, he moves his family from Australia to the United States in search of a brighter future. With nothing more than their six children, their suitcases, and their love of music, David (for KING + COUNTRY's Joel Smallbone) and his pregnant wife Helen (Daisy Betts) set out to rebuild their lives from the ground up. Based on a remarkable true story, a mum's faith stands against all odds; and inspires her husband and children to hold onto theirs.

Directed by: Joel Smallbone, Richard L. Ramsey

Written by: Richard L. Ramsey, Joel Smallbone

Moms, celebrate your priceless role in your family by going to see the powerful film, Unsung Hero, in theaters starting April 26th! If you love the band FOR KING + COUNTRY, you have to see their new film in theaters soon!

I have always been a fan of the group For King and Country, so I was very interested in seeing this movie. I watched it with my 19yr old son and we LOVED it! There were many parts that are tear jerkers and many happy moments.

UnSung Hero is the journey of how For King and Country got their start in the Recording Industry. The family left their Native Country of Australia to come to the United States for a job that their Dad had lined up. Upon arriving in the US, they discovered the promised job was no longer. The determination of the family, especially the Mom Helen, was AMAZING. The family took on odd jobs: Lawn Care, House Cleaning and more to make ends meet while their Dad looked for a secure job. The family went through many difficult times in life, but they always had their Faith and prayed together as a family. I LOVE how they had a prayer wall and THANKS wall! The rise to "FAME" wasn't easy, but their endured. The movie is about God, Faith, Family and slow rise to fame! I found out a few weeks ago that Rebecca St. James is their sister! I HIGHLY recommend this movie for Families of all ages! FANTASTIC MOVIE!

Jayson Kamuela has spent his life climbing the corporate ladder and his upcoming promotion will give him the life of his dreams, but at what cost? His wife has left him. He’s hit rock bottom. Maybe it’s time for him to change.

When Jayson is forced to go on sabbatical, he goes to search for his wife. Leah, however, after seeing Sabrina’s business success, believes she could also have a successful business on the Suamalie Islands.

With Leah needing to start on a new path and Jayson finally seeing the errors in his ways, how will the two of them work it out to finally have a happily ever after?

I LOVE Christian Contemporary Romance books and Rachel Skatvold is one of my favorite authors for this genre. Treasured Keepsakes is Book 11 in the Suamalie Islands series which is written by 9 different authors. I have read many books in this series and I am always excited when a new book comes out.

I truly LOVED the storyline of this book from the very beginning. Leah and Jayson Kamula are struggling in their marriage. Leah decides to go visit her cousin in Laumua Island. Sometimes a refreshing start is what is needed to be appreciate by others, especially an unloving husband. Jayson realizes that he has been putting his job before his marriage after Leah has left. He quickly realizes he wants to find his wife and hopes it isn't too late. Leah and Jayson are reunited at Laumua Island. Leah has discovered she LOVES how her cousin has succeeded in creating a business and being happy in life on Laumua Island and wants to continue living on the Island. I LOVE that Leah and Jayson realized that distance makes the heart grow fonder. The book is one of LOVE, FORGIVENESS, HEALING, FAITH and so much more. I HIGHLY recommend this book to anyone who enjoys Christian Romance books! WONDERFUL BOOK!

Rachel Skatvold is a Christian author and stay-at-home mom from the Midwest. She enjoys writing Christian romance and devotionals. She has published over a dozen novels, including books in the Hart Ranch and Whispers in Wyoming Series. Other than writing, some of her hobbies include singing, reading and camping in the great outdoors with her husband and two young sons.

More from Rachel

Have you ever lost something you treasured?

A few years ago, I had an unexpected surgery and had to take off my wedding rings before the procedure. Everything went fine, but after I came home, my fingers were swollen, so I could not put my rings back on right away. I put them away for safe keeping, but several weeks later, when I started feeling better, I went looking for my rings and couldn’t find them. I panicked at first. Could I have forgotten them in the hospital and just thought I brought them home? All kinds of scenarios ran though my head.

Have you ever done this? Put something treasured away for “safe keeping” and then forgotten where the safe place was? I have to admit, I do this a lot.

To make a long story short, after some searching, I finally found my rings in a jewelry box in the bottom of my sock drawer. I was so relieved. While my rings are a material possession, the meaning behind them is what was most troubling when I thought they were lost. They symbolize the special relationship my husband and our promise to each other. My engagement ring is also a family heirloom from my husband’s side of the family, so it really was a treasured keepsake for me.

In my new book, Treasured Keepsakes, Jayson Kamuela doesn’t realize what he’s lost until it’s almost too late. He has been too busy climbing the corporate ladder to reach his dream job to realize his marriage has slipped through the cracks.

Leah still loves her husband, but through the years, they have become more like strangers. When she comes to her breaking point and realizes Jayson has no intention of changing, she feels trapped. Leah escapes to the only refuge she can think of— her cousin’s home on Suamalie. Will this couple be able to recover the treasure of their marriage before it is lost forever?
