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.

Holy mother of all cliffhangers! Lexi Ryan blew my mind with this book. I am barely picking up the pieces of my brain after I finished with Lost In Me. I am lost for words (in a good way!), one minute I was tearing up and the next I was stunned with an ending that falls into the category of: “WTH?”, “How in the world?” and “I am going to lose my mind if I don't get the next book”. This book had me at the edge of my seat full with anticipation. It had me speculating how the turns and twists and whatnot. Dont be fooled by the blurb, it so much more, it’s not predictable at ALL.
Hannah wakes up in a hospital with no memory of the past year. She is engaged to the guy that she has always had a crush on (Max), she owns her own bakery and she has a body that most people would kill for.On the surface her life seems perfect, everything she always wanted! But she has no recollection of how she accomplished any of that and who is the man that get in her bed in the middle of the night. She is torned between two guys and a present that she is not familiar with. Her life has taken a 360 turn and she is just trying to put all the pieces together.
I like Hannah, her character is very believable. All the issues and insecurities that she has made her seem more real. Now, I could not connect with neither of the male characters. I didn't like Max or Nate, they didn't seem to want to help Hannah in her process of re-immersing herself back into her life. Max is a deceiver and Nate is to hurt to tell her the truth. I wish there wasn't a love triangle in the book because those ones are a big turn off for me. All around I was rooting for Hannah when she started getting bits of her memory back and how she kept progressing throughout the story.
This book is a rollercoaster of emotions! Secrets, drama, lies, betrayals, romance and an ending that will leave you open mouthed. Lexi Ryan played my heart during the whole book, all my theories were off and everything that I learned about Hannah left me grasping my seat. The pacing is on point and the twists and turns will keep you turning pages like a mad man. Oh! There are some smexy scenes that will have you fanning yourself *sigh*. Ms. Ryan definitely hit a home-run with this story and I cant wait to see what happens in Fall To You. If you are looking for a good romance that will have you guessing this is the book for you.

Once a college English professor, I now write full time. I live in rural Indiana, where, when I’m not writing, I get to hang out with my husband and two kids–a six-year-old boy and a two-year-old hellion, er, girl. Not surprisingly, reading and writing remain my favorite activities, though both come in bits and pieces these days, not the big hunks of time I enjoyed before I had children. When I’m feeling virtuous, I like to go running (I use that word liberally. I’m really, really slow) or do yoga. Don’t worry, I’m always careful to balance out such activities with a hearty serving of ice cream or a chocolate martini.
