Lost
in Me is the first book in the Here and Now series, a spin-off of the New
York Times and USA Today bestselling New Hope series. This sexy amnesia love
triangle is intended for mature readers.
The last thing I remember is having drinks at Brady’s and trying to avoid eye-contact with my life-long crush—the gorgeous, unattainable Maximilian Hallowell. They tell me that was a year ago, but I have no memories of anything since then. What I do have is this ring on my finger that Max says he gave me, and this much-thinner body I’ve dreamed of most of my life. Aside from a case of retrograde amnesia, everything seems almost...perfect. But the deeper I immerse myself into this new world of mine—planning a wedding to a man I don't remember dating, attempting to run a business I don't remember starting—the clearer it becomes that nothing is as it seems. Do I have the life I’ve always wanted or is it a facade propped up by secrets I don't even know I have? I need answers before I marry Max, and the only person who seems to have them is the angry, tatted, sexy-as-sin rocker Nate Crane. And Nate wants me for himself. Lost in Me is not a standalone novel, as the story continues in Here and Now book two, Fall to You, releasing in June. |
I’ve always been intrigued when it came to stories of
women losing their memories and then suddenly finding themselves in a difficult
situation. Which is why this particular story got my interest.
Hanna wakes up in the hospital bruised and battered from a
supposed fall down the stairs with an engagement ring on her finger from fiancé
Max. The guy she has longed for since she was a teenager. As if having an
accident wasn’t enough, she wakes up with no memory of the past 11 months.
Hanna is a great character. She is sweet, loyal, would
want others to feel better before herself, and someone I would want to know in
real life. But she is also insecure about her weight…which she lost a lot of
over the last few months, and she’s insecure about her relationship with Max.
It’s tough trying to move forward in relationship when you can’t remember any
of it even occurring. But Hanna is determined to make the best of the
situation.
“I feel like the universe wants me to see everything, to not
take it for granted. The doctor said my memory will probably be back soon, so
maybe this is the luckiest thing that’s ever happened to me. How many of us get
to step back from our lives and see how perfect they really are?” “No one’s
life is perfect, Hanna.” “You know what I mean.” “I do know, and it worries me.
You’ve got stars in your eyes about your life, and in a couple of days you’re
going to start living it again. I just don’t want you to be disappointed if it
isn’t everything it seems.”
To make matters further complicated, there is a mysterious
and sexy rocker that she shares a connection with…one she can’t stop thinking
about. Plus her mom is very determined to make this wedding between her and Max
take place very quickly. But she is equally determined to remember.
There is an air of mystery to this story as we get to see
flashbacks of Hanna’s life months before her accident and try to fill in the
blanks of what happened. I
really enjoyed the story-line. More than I thought I would. The ending surprised me with something I in no way saw
coming. At. All. So if you are a reader who can’t stand cliff hanger books,
then at least hold off until the second book comes out in June.
RATING: 4 out of 5.
