The Lost Daughters #7
De Noorse dochter
Londen, heden. Wanneer ze een geheimzinnig kistje ontvangt dat bestemd is voor haar geliefde overgrootmoeder Amalie, met een diamanten ring en een Noors familiewapen, weet Charlotte dat het tijd is om terug te keren naar Noorwegen. Als chef-kok heeft ze altijd haar carrière op de eerste plek gezet, en zo de pijn uit haar jeugd op afstand gehouden. Maar wanneer Charlotte in Noorwegen Harrison ontmoet, die ook op de vlucht is voor zijn verleden, durft ze voor het eerst haar hart te openen.
Noorwegen, 1951. ‘Je moet weten hoeveel ik van je houd, Amalie. Ik wilde nooit bij je weg, en ik zal er alles aan doen om terug te komen bij jou en ons kind. Wacht alsjeblieft op me.’

I received a copy for review purposes. All opinions are honest and mine alone.
Amalie is a maid at the finest hotel in Oslo, Norway. Oskar works in the kitchen. They are deeply in love but his family takes every opportunity to keep them apart. What results is one half of this dual timeline, multi POV story that starts in 1950 and progresses to modern day.
Charlotte is a chef in London and Amalie’s great granddaughter. She’s been given an opportunity to be executive chef at a new, world class hotel in Oslo. She meets Harrison, the architect for the impressive building, while in Norway interviewing for the job and seeing her great grandmother in a hospice care facility. They are drawn towards each other but both have painful memories complicating a new relationship. This is the second half, current timeline of THE HIDDEN DAUGHTER.
Character development and relationships are two of author, Soraya Lane’s, strongest skills. From early in the first chapter, I found it easy to feel the love, longing, fear, hope and desires of these realistic characters. Two couples are primary in the story but the secondary characters are also well established and fill out the storylines well. Amalie’s mother-in-law is one of these characters that is incredibly complex. She evolves throughout the story from antagonist to becoming self aware enough to salvage her family. This part of the story was an intricate, three generations of mothers and daughters; done exceptionally well and far from the usual.
Dialogue is another high point for Lane. It’s unique to each character and moves the story forward nicely. Rounding out the positive aspects is the lovely, descriptive prose. I’ve never been to Norway nor seen a fjord but after reading this book, there’s no doubt in my mind I’d recognize a photograph of one.
“Some things are just never meant to be forgotten” - Amalie whispers this to Charlotte, after receiving the little box she’d left at Hope’s House many years ago. That’s true of of this book, the series and what I hope/believe the subject of the finale of the series will be - a story about the character, Hope.

Ik vond het leuk dat dit boek een andere opzet had en dat dit boek je nog iets nieuwsgieriger maakte naar het verhaal van Mia en Hope 🤗. De band tussen Charlotte, Aina en Amalie is geweldig en vond ik prachtig.
Toch blijven het vooral heerlijke wegleesboeken waarbij je niet hoeft na te denken. Ze zijn zo kort en ondanks dat er wel belangrijke en zware onderwerpen in zitten, voelt het vaak iets te snel en net iets te oppervlakkig. Terwijl ik me wel prima vermaak. Ik hoop dat het laatste deel alles compleet maakt 🥰.

My new favorite book. This story was incredible moving as the past comes to meet the present and all the lives touched.
The Hidden Daughter
By: Soraya M. Lane
A dual time line and a hidden secret come to light in the next novel of Soraya M. Lane, The Lost Daughter series. I have read this entire series and they are all amazing, but this is my favorite.
Present day London finds Charlotte discovering a box which will unlock the past. She travels to her great-grandmother Amalie and the rest of her Norwegian family. Amalie finds the articles in the box and begins to share her story.
Charlotte is a chef and she gets this dream job. When she arrives, she meets Harrison who is the designer for the hotel she will be working out. Sparks happen, but obstacles might keep them apart.
This one tugs at your heart and pulls you in right away. The relationships, struggles, sacrifices and words were heartfelt and I was immersed in their story.
Thank you Bookouture for having me on tour.

A beautiful, heart-tugging story of love, sacrifice, and second chances — I couldn’t put it down!
December 31, 2025
1951: A chef of one of the most luxurious hotels of the time. And a future full of uncertainties. It tells the story of Amalie.
Present Day: Charlotte is hired as a chef in her hometown of Oslo. In the city she once longed to escape, her path forward will open up doors long forgotten and closed.
~
In my opinion, this installment in the Lost Daughters Series has the most soul to it.
The descriptions of the beautiful land of Norway is alone worth the full read.
Lane is one author you can count on to deliver emotional punches without doubt.
I'm really looking forward to Hope and Mia's story, I think it'll be the last one!

I absolutely adore the Lost Daughter series. Soraya Lane continues to impress, inspire and stir up my emotions every time I read one of her books, and this one really captured and, at times, shattered my heart. I was deeply invested in the characters’ lives and their challenges. I felt their disappointments and losses. Many moments I had tears in my eyes. This is an incredibly moving novel and one I will not forget. I think it is my favourite of the Lost Daughter series (though I’ve loved them all).
The Hidden Daughter is set mostly in the beautiful country of Norway with stunning descriptions of the breathtaking fjords. There are two timelines with Amalie in both. The story of her life, her tragic romance and what follows over the years. Charlotte, her great niece, shares the plotline of the present and helps with the unravelling of the past. She is a renowned chef who has been living in London. When she left her birth home in Norway to pursue her dreams, she was also fleeing her father’s expectations and control. A rift had developed between them after her mother’s sudden departure. Charlotte never saw her father for eight years but stayed in contact with her brother, the surgeon (who followed in their father’s professional footsteps).
Charlotte receives a call from her grandmother that a special mystery item is to be dropped off to her, so when it arrives she opens the small box to find a diamond ring, a Norwegian crest and a photo within. Her grandmother suspects the items hold a family mystery and this leads Charlotte to consider going home for a visit. This trip is two-fold in purpose as she also must explore a new job offer, at a new prestigious Norwegian hotel. So her return to Norway is both professional and personal as it also allows her to re-unite with her grandmother and great grandmother Amalie. And possibly provide the chance to see her father again after eight years of silence. Maybe it is time to make amends as her brother has often encouraged her to do?
While in Norway, she meets the architect of the new hotel and an unexpected spark happens between them. Harrison is charming and well-liked by the Hotel owner. But he burns hot and cold around Charlotte sending her confusing signals. Charlotte has kept her heart guarded due to some past events but once meeting Harrison, she cannot help her attraction and comfortableness in his presence and lets down her defences. But will this sudden relaxed attitude lead to more hurt or healing? Will navigating her executive chef dream job and romantic relationship at the same time become too much? Maybe but her trip home will give her precious time with her grandmother and also her great grandmother who has a tragic romantic story to tell. Charlotte will learn many great lessons from talking to Amalie that will guide her through her own personal and professional dramas.
Unveiling secrets of the past from Amalie in the 1950s and onwards was intriguing. This generational tangled plot sees the women and men of both eras bound and then freed. One reminder surfaced that we never know how much time we will have with our loved ones and it is best not to procrastinate but rather mend fences while we can. For one day it may be too late. This story also deals with the dire consequences of class snobbery. Views on status differences and expectations can cause great damage, and it did particularly in the 1950s.
I was very moved by Amalie’s story. Learning about her struggles in the past timeline, certainly squeezed my heart and the tissue box was used readily! What that woman endured was sad but her strength and determination to continue after all she lost was admirable. As a result of her willingness to adapt and move in an unexpected direction for the love of her child, she gained so much—that resulted in a happy life.
This is a beautifully written, uplifting, inspiring story about sacrifice, motherhood, family, second chances, maturity, reunions and so much more. The characters are complex, real and perfectly developed. Their growth is easily seen over the course of the plot. They face challenges, fears and have set-backs but eventually rise from the ashes of their trials to learn, love and let-go. The descriptions are vivid and the dialogue revealing. Soraya is a great story teller in all areas but she is particularly a master of conveying emotion. So often my heart was bursting at the seams with various feelings while I was immersed in The Hidden Daughter.
I truly loved this touching novel and look forward to the next instalment. Do yourselves a favour and read it! But keep the tissues close at hand—you’ll need them! There is heartbreaking sadness but also triumphant joy. 5 Stars. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

De Noorse dochter – Soraya Lane
Londen, heden. Wanneer ze een geheimzinnig kistje ontvangt dat bestemd is voor haar geliefde overgrootmoeder Amalie, met een diamanten ring en een Noors familiewapen, weet Charlotte dat het tijd is om terug te keren naar Noorwegen. Als chef-kok heeft ze altijd haar carrière op de eerste plek gezet, en zo de pijn uit haar jeugd op afstand gehouden. Maar wanneer Charlotte in Noorwegen Harrison ontmoet, die ook op de vlucht is voor zijn verleden, durft ze voor het eerst haar hart te openen.
Noorwegen, 1951. ‘Je moet weten hoeveel ik van je houd, Amalie. Ik wilde nooit bij je weg, en ik zal er alles aan doen om terug te komen bij jou en ons kind. Wacht alsjeblieft op me.’
De Noorse dochter is het zevende deel in de achtdelige serie De verloren dochters, met meeslepende liefdesgeschiedenissen die zich over de hele wereld af spelen en juist dat maakt het zo’n boeiende serie.
Ondanks dat dit alweer het zevende deel is, blijft deze serie me boeien. Extra leuk dan ook dat dit deel weer een net iets andere insteek heeft dan de zes voorafgaande delen. Wat niet veranderd is dat je ook bij dit boek de tissues klaar moet zetten. De mooie, levendige schrijfstijl zorgt ervoor dat je mee leeft met de personages. Er zijn twee verhaallijnen: het verleden, 1951 met Amalie en het heden met Charlotte. Beide verhalen zijn boeiend en hartverwarmend, en alle emoties worden door de auteur zo goed weergegeven dat je echt wordt geraakt.
Vanaf de proloog zat ik al helemaal in het verhaal en tot en met de laatste bladzijde wist Soraya Lane mijn aandacht vast te houden. De Noorse dochter is een prachtige roman over familiegeheimen, verlies, rouw, tweede liefdes en persoonlijke groei. En nu kijk ik alweer uit naar het achtste en laatste deel van deze serie, het verhaal van Hope zelf. Al zeven boeken lang weet je dat het eraan zit te komen en nu is het dan bijna zover. Ik kan niet wachten!

Het boek is anders dan de andere boeken maar heerlijk in een ruk uitgelezen met een lach en een traan!
February 27, 2026
Alweer deel 7 van deze serie en elke keer voelt het zo comfortabel. De afwisseling tussen heden en verleden geeft het verhaal diepgang en hierdoor leest het vlot. Na ieder deel ben ik meer benieuwd geworden naar het verhaal van Hope, dus ik kan inmiddels niet wachten tot het 8e en laatste deel verschijnt.
February 5, 2026
Ik vond het heden niet zo goed dit keer, het verleden was weer fan, en ik vond het heerlijk dat het in Noorwegen plaatsvond. Korte review.

Another great installment in The Lost Daughter series by Soraya Lane.
The Hidden Daughterl follows a dual-timeline story centred on long-buried family secrets, where a contemporary search for identity is intertwined with a historical love story. As the past is slowly uncovered through letters, places, and inherited objects, the connections between generations begin to make sense. The story leans into romance, loss, and the way choices echo forward in time.
I loved this. It is very much in the Lucinda Riley mould, in the best possible way. An easy, immersive read that is emotionally satisfying without being heavy, and one I found genuinely captivating once I settled into it. Perfect comfort reading that still delivers on heart.

De Noorse dochter is al weer het zevende deel in de Verloren dochters-serie. Tot nu toe heb ik echt van elk boek genoten en hoe verder ik in de serie komt hoe nieuwsgieriger ik word naar het laatste deel.
Net als de eerdere delen leest De Noorse dochter ook weer heerlijk weg. Het leest vlot, heeft makkelijk taalgebruik en vanaf de eerste bladzijde is het genieten met Charlotte en Amalie.
De verhaallijnen van Charlotte en Amalie wisselen elkaar af. Hierbij lezen we steeds in het heden en in het verleden. Zoals in alle delen brengt de auteur ook in dit deel de verschillende verhaallijnen weer op een prachtige manier bij elkaar. Mooi afgerond maar zeker nieuwsgierig naar het verhaal rond Hope in het achtste deel.
De personages zijn mooi uitgewerkt. Ondanks een moeilijk verleden weet Charlotte keuzes te maken en voor zichzelf op te komen. Het is een doorzetter maar ook een vrouw die durft te vergeven en aan zichzelf te denken. Amalie is de vrouw die je letterlijk aangrijpt. Haar verhaallijn is prachtig neergezet. Je blijft nieuwsgierig naar haar geschiedenis en wanneer de waarheid boven tafel komt is het even slikken.
Soraya weet ook in dit zevende deel de lezer weer tot het slot te boeien. De karakters zijn hartverwarmend en je sluit ze allemaal in je hart. Het verhaal is overgoten met een romantisch sausje en de prachtige Noorse fjorden laten je snakken naar het afreizen naar Noorwegen. Prachtige thema’s als verlies, rouw, familiebanden, vriendschap en vooral liefde maken dit deel helemaal af!
De Noorse dochter heb ik weer in mijn hart gesloten. Wat heb ik genoten van dit hartverwarmende en mooie verhaal. Het is nu uitkijken naar het afsluitende deel! Ik kan alleen maar hopen dat dit deel gauw aangekondigd wordt. Wat kijk ik daar naar uit!

Een prachtig, hartverwarmend en ontroerend verhaal. Net als de andere boeken in deze serie heb ik genoten van de verhaallijn in zowel het verleden als het heden
A beautiful, heartwarming and touching read. Just like the other books in this series I really loved the storyline in the past and present.

Waardige opvolger van de eerste 6 delen. kan niet wachten op boek nr 8.

De Noorse dochter van Soraya Lane is een prachtig verhaal dat je niet meer loslaat. Het is het zevende deel in De verloren dochters reeks en neemt je mee naar het mooie Denemarken.
Net als de andere boeken in deze reeks, had dit boek twee tijdlijnen; een volgt Charlotte in het heden in Londen en Noorwegen en de andere volgt Amalie in Noorwegen in de jaren 60. Deze tijdlijnen wisselen elkaar aanvullend af en zorgen ervoor dat je het boek onmogelijk kan wegleggen. Samen met Charlotte kom je erachter wat Amalie naar Hope’s House heeft gebracht.
Het boek leest heel prettig weg en Soraya Lane houdt continue je aandacht vast, waardoor je dit boek eigenlijk in een keer wil uitlezen. Ook wisselen heftigere onderwerpen en luchtig gesprekken elkaar goed af, waardoor het zeker niet te zwaar wordt. Daarnaast bouwt alle mysterie en geheimzinnigheid rondom Hope op naar het laatste deel van de reeks, waarin hopelijk alles op zijn plek valt en het verhaal helemaal compleet is.
Ik heb het boek uiteindelijk 4 sterren gegeven en ik ben super benieuwd naar hoe de serie gaat eindigen!
Heel erg bedankt Oceaan voor het recensie-exemplaar!

Ook wisselen heftigere onderwerpen en luchtig gesprekken elkaar goed af, waardoor het zeker niet te zwaar wordt. Daarnaast bouwt alle mysterie en geheimzinnigheid rondom Hope op naar het laatste deel van de reeks, waarin hopelijk alles op zijn plek valt en het verhaal helemaal compleet is.
Ik heb het boek uiteindelijk 4 sterren gegeven en ik ben super benieuwd naar hoe de serie gaat eindigen!
Heel erg bedankt Oceaan voor het recensie-exemplaar!

The 7th book in the Lost Daughters series is a must read. It’s very moving and emotional. A captivating family saga set in Norway with plenty of drama and heartache. There’s two wonderful stories linked together across the years and generations, told as a dual timeline, starting in 1950 with Amalie and Oskar. The present day story starts in London, but continues in Oslo, with Charlotte, a chef, and Harrison, an architect. Highly recommend.

Another winner for Soraya M. Lane.
This book takes you through three generations. It's very heart wrenching and promising all at once. A love story for the ages. Two love stories actually. Both interconnected and both just as touching.
When Charlotte's grandmother calls her and tells her there will be something delivered to her Charlotte has no idea how much her life is going to change. Charlotte is a Chef at a very prestigious hotel in London. It's her last night and she is making a special dinner for her co-workers. She is also to be met by Mia. Mia is the woman who is bringing her a delivery. Meant for her grandmother but accepting for her.
In 1950 things were a bit different for females. In Norway a young couple meet and fall deeply in love. Oskar and Amalie. They met at the hotel Oskar's parents own. Oskar is from a very rich and influential family. Amalie's family have no money. They are hard workers but of very meager means. When Amalie finds herself in the family way she is frightened. Not of how Oskar will react. How his family will take it. How her family will take it.
Charlotte and Harrison meet when Charlotte goes to Norway to check out another Chef's position. This time at a brand new hotel that has not even opened yet. Harrison designed this one and the owner wanted Charlotte as the head Chef. Of course they meet and fall head over heels in love. But things are not so smooth.
You get to know the characters in this story well. You may not like some, at least one, at first. But most are great. The two love stories are perfection. Yes the one between Amalie and Oskar is so sad. The love between Charlotte and Harrison is not perfect either. This is one of those books that you have to put down so your eyes can recoup. At least I did. I cried so much reading this story. Sad tears and happy tears. Some angry tears too. It's just a great story that will keep you filled with so much hope for both couples. For all the family members.
I can't wait for the nest book. I've been wanting to know Hope's story and if you've read any of this series you know who Hope is.
Thank you Bookouture and Soraya Lane for this ARC.

The Hidden Daughter by Soraya Lane is the seventh book of The Lost Daughters Series. The series will consist of eight books and will soon come to a conclusion. Now is the time to start binge reading if that is what you like to do. I will be sad to see this series end. It has been very enjoyable. I think I have a couple of books to go back and read because life has gotten in my way a bit. Let me tell you what I love most about this series.
First of all, each book is a story unto itself and can be read as a standalone book. The common thread is a little box of mementos that a mother has left behind for her daughter when she is grown. The daughters are ones that are adopted out because the mother was not able to care for their baby for one reason or another.
The second thing I like is that each book takes place in a different country. You get fabulous descriptions of the surroundings. You learn a little of the culture. I love learning about things in a fun way and this is definitely a fun way to learn a little bit of each country. This book was about Norway. That really grabbed my interest since my Grandmother was born there and came to the United States with her mother and sister when she was six years old.
The mother in this story is about Amelie and her daughter’s name is Aina. Charlotte is the character in the book that received the little wooden box and was prompted to go back home to Norway. She is Aina’s granddaughter. The chapters rotate between 1950 in Norway and the present day. This book tells the story of the whole family and what they have all been through in the last 75 years. It was so good and had me in tears more than once.
If you love wonderful family saga’s and travels to different countries, I highly recommend The Lost Daughter Series. The Hidden Daughter is one of my favorite books so far in the series. They certainly deserve a spot on your nightstand especially if you love Historical Romance. Until next time…Happy Reading!

I have read all the books in this series and can’t wait for the final book with Hope’s story - hopefully it will tie up the loose ends hinted at in The Hidden Daughter.
As with the other books this is a dual timeline story but differs in that the baby wasn’t put up for adoption and the modern day character- Charlotte - knew her great- grandmother.
This book was set partly in London and mostly in Oslo Norway - with added Fjords.
In some ways this was predictable and followed the previous books in the series. Love resulting in a baby - often outside wedlock - and a relative of that baby receiving a box from Hope and Hope’s House containing mementoes of that relationship. Charlotte rushes back to her grandmother and the thought of a new job as an executive chef in an executive new hotel in Oslo. Of course she meets the love of her life, for one reason or another they part then later they reconcile.
Much the pattern of the previous books
But nevertheless less an enjoyable read - heartbreaking, romantic and thought provoking. In some ways an easy read which sometimes one wants and this fitted the bill.
I won’t give too many details because it would be easy to give the storyline away completely. It can be read as a stand-alone but I recommend reading the whole delightful series.
Really looking forward to book 8 and the secrets Hope holds.

In De Noorse Dochter neemt Soraya Lane de lezer mee naar de betoverende, ruige landschappen van Noorwegen. Zoals gebruikelijk binnen deze reeks worden verleden en heden in een zorgvuldig opgebouwde dual timeline met elkaar verweven. In dit deel volgen we Charlotte, die voor haar carrière als kok haar geboorteland Noorwegen verruilde voor Londen. Daar ontvangt zij een mysterieus kistje dat haar overgrootmoeder ooit heeft achtergelaten in een tehuis voor ongehuwde moeders, bestemd voor haar oma.
Wanneer Charlotte vrijwel gelijktijdig een baan aangeboden krijgt in Oslo, besluit ze terug te keren naar Noorwegen. Met het kistje in haar bezit bezoekt ze haar stervende overgrootmoeder Amalie, die haar een aangrijpend familiegeheim toevertrouwt dat generaties lang verborgen is gebleven. Stap voor stap ontrafelt Charlotte het verleden en langzaam wordt duidelijk welke keuzes en offers het lot van haar familie hebben bepaald. Het motief van afkomst en de zoektocht naar identiteit vormen hierbij een krachtige rode draad door het verhaal.
Terwijl Charlotte zich verdiept in het liefdesverhaal van haar grootmoeder, ontmoet ze via haar nieuwe baan ook Harrison, de architect van het hotel waar zij als chef-kok aan de slag gaat. Ook hij draagt het gewicht van zijn verleden met zich mee. Tussen hen ontstaat direct een voelbare aantrekkingskracht, maar beiden worstelen ermee om zich volledig aan de ander te kunnen geven. Dankzij de gesprekken met Harrison vindt Charlotte de moed om, nu ze terug is in Noorwegen, ook voorzichtig te werken aan het herstel van de band met haar vader. Naarmate ze haar familiegeschiedenis beter begrijpt, maakt ze een geloofwaardige en ontroerende karakterontwikkeling door en leert ze ook haar eigen hart weer open te stellen.
Het verhaal, dat heel mooi meerdere generaties vrouwen en hun strubbelingen belicht, is soms hartverscheurend maar eindigt prachtig. Charlotte, Harrison en haar overgrootmoeder zijn daarbij realistische, gelaagde personages die elk een ontwikkeling doormaken. De setting wordt daarnaast zo beeldend beschreven dat de scènes zich voor mijn geestesoog ontvouwden als een film. Wat ik tot slot erg sterk vond, is de manier waarop in dialogen regelmatig ook de interne monoloog van de protagonist wordt belicht. Dit geeft het geheel extra diepgang.
Ik heb ontzettend van dit boek genoten. Voor liefhebbers van romans met een dual timeline, meeslepende liefdesverhalen en een vleugje mysterie is dit absoluut een aanrader!
Mijn rating: 4,5 sterren

The Hidden Daughter is the seventh book in Soraya Lane's Lost Daughters series and I was positively thrilled when NetGalley sent me an ARC to read and review (and yes, I did the happy dance!) All of the books in the series begin with someone - in this case, Charlotte, a chef living in London but a native of Norway - getting a phone call from someone named Mia who was cleaning out her deceased aunt's Hope's home in London. Her Aunt Hope had run Hope's House, a home for unwed mothers or mothers in need, where they could live comfortably to await the birth of their children. Mia said she had found little boxes labeled with names on them and one of the boxes was for Charlotte's grandmother. Opening that box led to their family learning the truth of her great grandmother Amalie's past. A dual timeline story, the tale unfolds in two voices - that of Charlotte in the present day and that of Amalie in the 1950s in Norway. No spoilers - but I will say that the story had the happy ending that I love so much - and also gave a clue that there may be more Lost Daughters books coming! Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for an ARC of this novel in exchange for an honest review.

This entire series has been unique because each individual story stands out.
Charlotte is estranged from her father and has been gone too long from her grandmother.
The box’s clues open up avenues of healing for both Charlotte and her family.
I love that most of the story is in Norway.
Lots of bumps and barricades to overcome but the ending is well worth it.
Thanks Bookouture and NetGalley for the advance read.

Charlotte holds in the palm of her hand a small box containing a diamond ring and a Norwegian crest. She must return home to see her great-grandmother Amalie and the rest of her family. Charlotte has accepted her dream job as head chef at Norway’s most prestigious hotel.
She soon meets Harrison, a designer at the hotel. He begins to show Charlotte the beauty of Norway she left behind a long time ago. Could this be the trip home for so many reasons including finding her happily ever after?
Charlotte returns the small box to Amalie. Amalie thought the ring had been lost forever. As Amalie begins to tell Charlotte of a love story and a never spoken of secret, she begins to question everything she knew about her family.
“The Hidden Daughter” by Soraya Lane is a wonderful and heartwarming tale of years gone by and the hope tomorrow holds. This amazing time slip novel was completely captivating. I was totally enthralled with this masterpiece of story.
This story is both heartbreaking and intriguing as I flipped through the page I couldn’t stop for even a second. I devoured this amazing book filled with characters I loved and felt a connection to. This brilliantly authored story is one that will resonate in my heart for a very long time. I highly recommend this ten star read.

The seventh book in the series with only one left! Such an adorable read. Charlotte is an amazing chef from London who goes back home to Oslo, Norway for a job opportunity. Her grandmother lives there which helps too and so does her estranged dad and great grandmother whose story we come to learn about.
She meets Harrison the architect of the hotel she will be working at as the chef and of course they fall in love. I really don’t like the abruptness in which Harrison ran off but at least he came back.
Charlotte’s great grandmother Amalie has a beautiful and sad story of her first love Oskar and finding out the family secrets was a great way to spend time with family. I definitely had a feeling about Oskar and his brother and I’m so glad I was right.
I really enjoyed this book and highly recommend The Lost Daughters series. Each book has a box that was found at Hope’s House and a relative finds them wanting to return them to their rightful owners. All for every relative to learn their great grandparent was adopted. Very interesting with a lot of heartbreak. I need The Last Daughter!

Excellent series
I loved all 7 books in The Lost Daughters series and am, really wanting there to be one more telling Hope's story. All 7 books were very well written and were such beautiful love stories! I highly recommend the entire series.

Wonderful Series
Really enjoyed this book. Charlotte and Harrison were meant to be. Such a story on how Charlottes great grandmother held a secret for many years from her daughter and great grand daughter. This book really makes me want to visit parts of Norway and see some of the sights written about in this book. I can't wait for last book in this series to be released.

This book was wonderful! Author Soraya Lane has a way to bring emotion to her characters that I can feel through the pages of the book. The journey of Charlotte and Harrison was relatable, as well as the relationship Charlotte had with her father was believable.
I have read four of the seven books in this series and absolutely MUST purchase the other books to read before the final book is published!
Thank you NetGalley and Bookouture for the eARC of this wonderful book in exchange for an honest review.
