Author: Nicole Williams Title: Heart and Soul (Lost and Found, #5)
Love is what makes us. It’s also what breaks us.
If this is true, Rowen just became the proverbial wrecking ball to Jesse’s life.
Upon discovering Rowen is pregnant after taking every precaution to ensure otherwise due to a life-threatening heart condition, Jesse is forced to face too many harsh realities and they send him into a desperate, dark place. To consider the possibility that he might lose his wife and unborn child is too much for Jesse to bear.
The situation is out of his control, so he gloms on to the few things he can control. Like noting Rowen’s every move, or dialing the doctor whenever her face goes a shade pale, or even acknowledging the fact he’d be willing to make a deal with the devil in exchange for his wife’s and child’s lives. There’s nothing he wouldn’t do or give or sacrifice to keep them from harm.
But what happens when the devil takes that deal Jesse struck, and the tables turn? A life for a life. A soul for a soul. A heart for a heart. His life for theirs.
Love is what makes us. It’s also what breaks us.
Love’s made Jesse and Rowen. Love’s about to break them too.

The last book in the series was just a really long epilogue.
In the previous book Losers Weepers we've found out that Rowen is pregnant and that she also has heart condition. She should have had an operation, but she got knocked up before she could undergo it so her pregnacy is a highrisk one.
Jesse turned from an easy-going, hard-working, rational guy into someone who barely sleeps, is neurotic and tries to do everything for everyone.
The whole book covers the time she was pregnant and then a short epilogue jumps forward couple of time into the future.
It was too long for me. Every page was the same as the previous one it got a bit boring at times. If it were done as a novella instead of novel it could (and probably would) be better and higher rated.
This was the first book where I liked Rowen more than I liked Jesse.
But otherwise I liked seeing Jesse's & Rowen's and Garth's & Josie's endings.
This whole series was pretty great and I enjoyed myself immensely. I'll definitely look up more Nicole Williams' books.
