I received a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review. Thank you NetGalley!

I absolutely adore Lexi Ryan's work. This book was no different.

Relatable characters. Realistic storyline. Well written.

Where can I find a Nate? I could use one of those. :)

I do not currently have comments for this novel though I thoroughly enjoyed it. This was unputadownable and I highly recommend the novel.

When Emma’s husband passed away, she felt her life was over. Even thou it’s been several years, she must move forward in her writing project they had both started. Writing steamy romance novels is difficult when you haven’t had sex in a while. However, in the process of searching for a male narrator for her latest book, Emma meets Austin, a man with a voice made for sex and also very mysterious. When she’s around him, she’s drawn to him in a way that confuses her. When it rains it pours it seems. Now someone from her past shows up at her door, Parker, her brother in law.

It seems that Parker has been bidding his time, since he wants to be in her life permanently and take her to Australia. How can she be drawn to two men at the same time. Austin has the mysterious aura about him that appeals to Emma, with smoldering eyes she could drown in. When Parker tells her she was destined to marry him instead of his brother and he was planning to propose to her but his brother asked first, Emma is blown away. What is she going to do.

The only negative comment I will say about this book, is the abrupt ending. I felt I needed more. Since I’m unable to rate half stars, it is actually a three and a half stars.

First off, this book ends in a cliff hanger. Hanna wakes up in the hospital with a slimmer figure and an engagement ring on. But, she doesn't remember any of it. It kept me interested. Can't wait to find out what's next!!

I fell in love! My heart ist still racing from the ending and I already baught the 2. book. I read it within a few hours, it just grabbed me and didn't let go until I got to the end. The writing is great, the pace fast, the characters are great. It's a really good book. But the cliffhanger was not fair! Luckily the next 2 books are already out. But damit I'd be lying if I didn't admit that my heard broke a little when Nate and Hannah broke up. I can't wait to read how their story continues.

Okay, so that ending was ridiculous. I'm so glad that I'm reading this book now and not when the other books weren't published yet. That cliffhanger needs a resolution NOW!

Hanna wakes up in the hospital, not remembering anything from the last year of her life. Right away, I knew that something shady was just beyond her memory. She's wearing an engagement ring, signifying that her lifelong crush on Max finally led somewhere, but I was so confused by her actions. I didn't trust Max (and later found my skepticism justified) and wondered why she let herself be led into something she didn't understand. Who wakes up not remembering what happened and just goes with the flow? Hanna does. But then there's Nate, a man her heart knows but she can't remember. He looks at her like she sets the sun and holds the moon. He calls to her, but she has Max, who is everything any woman could want. So why not play with both of them?

"If he's into your sister, why are you with him? Why not be into a guy who's into you?"

I think Hanna was one of the most unsympathetic big girl heroines I've ever come across. She was a doormat for every person in her life. She allowed her mother to still dictate to her, force her into situations she didn't want, and continue to criticize her. She let her childish feelings for a man lead her down a road of drama and didn't see anything wrong with it. The only hint that she may have a backbone came at the end and I'm looking forward to seeing what she does with her newfound strength. BTW, I'm totally #TeamNate!!

Book one in the Here and Now series.

Hannah wakes up from an accident not remembering the last year of life. Now she's left trying to put back the pieces of the last year back together. She woke to a completely different life. Now she's skinnier, engaged, and owns a bakery with her sister. Said sister who she is now longer close to as she once was. Yet there's also this mystery guy who snuck into her bed one night. Once the memories and secrets start to come out how will she handle it?

This book is filled with lots of suspense. A page turner leaving me wanting more. Plus that ending like OMG. I know need to read book like ASAP.

A friend had told me good things about this author but up until now, I hadn't read any of her books. After reading the description for Lost In Me I thought the story premise seemed a little cliche, but still, I was intrigued enough to give it a try. Boy, oh boy did Lexi Ryan prove me wrong. She took the cliche and spun it into a great story. Each time I thought I knew what would happen the plot took a totally unexpected path.

I loved Hanna's story. The Author's choice to share only Hannah's POV added to the conflict and put me in the heroine's skin. This was an easy read that I couldn't put down. I read it in a single sitting. Can't wait to read the rest of this series as well as Lexi Ryans other stories.

I've never really seen the appeal of amnesia as a storyline, but there's something to be said with the way this is woven that drags you in. You truly feel like when Hanna uncovers her memories that it's opening up all the pieces for the first time. And a love triangle with a hot rock God... Sign me up! But did it have to end on a flipping cliffy, sigh.

The many twists and turns found in this novel made it hard to put down. The characters where well thought out and the writing was fluid. However, I hate a cliffhanger.

Another great book from Lexi Ryan. I’ve read other books by this author this one was just as good as those. I really enjoyed the story and the characters were well thought out.

This was an awesome read!
However, I hate cliff hangers with a passion! Had I of know this is book 1 of a 3 book trilogy, I doubt I would have chose to read it. Luckily, all 3 books are already out.
Again, I hate cliffhangers. I need a happily ever after at the end of each book.
Yes, I should have noticed this didn’t end with a HEA, but I blame the book. I did read the blurb. Guess I need to go back and look again.

Overall, very good story.

Thank you for the opportunity to read this ARC. To be honest, I didn’t love the book, and I’d prefer not to leave a negative review.

This book! You have to read it! I was on edge and read it in one sitting. The author is new to me. I enjoyed this story so much. I hate love triangles but this was so well written.. Cliff hanger!! I recommend this book. I will have to read book 2 and 3!!

This book ends in a cliffhanger! I did not know that this was a three book series with a cliffhager at the end of book one.


Hanna wakes up in a hospital bed with Amnesia. She doesn’t remember owning and working in a bakery. She’s lost a lot of weight and apparently is engaged to the guy she’s had a crush on 9 months ago. Because that’s the last she can remember is a night out with her sister. She doesn’t remember falling down the stairs and hitting her head. She also doesn’t remember Nate, who sneaks into her bed after she’s back from the hospital and gets her all worked up...

This had drama, some twists and turns and was an overall good read.

I received this ebook copy from the publisher and NetGalley for an honest review.

This is the first book in the Here and Now series. It does end up in a cliffhanger. This story has many twists and turns, drama, and a love triangle in it. It does have some cheating. It was a page turner and kept my interest through out the story. I enjoyed reading about the characters.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an Advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

"How can I trust a decision I don't remember making?"

What the WHAT? The cover caught my eye, then the synopsis closed the deal. I couldn't not read Lost in Me. Once I turned the first page I was in for the duration, out of commission, unavailable to everyone. I devoured this story knowing it was only the first book in the series, knowing I wouldn't get all the answers to the questions bouncing around my head. I was right, but I wouldn't change a thing. I enjoyed the hell out of it and I can't wait to read Fall to You.

I tried to feel sorry for her, but the truth was that I was kinda jealous that she went to sleep and woke up with everything she ever wanted, including a thin body minus the hunger pains. But, that only lasted a few chapters. When I realized how much it must suck to have a big black hole where your memories used to be I changed my mind. I tend to question everything and I would not have just been able to accept the obvious, I would have to dig deeper.

When people and secrets started popping up it became obvious that there was more to her past than she was aware of. I was hanging on the edge of my seat as this installment closed with a jaw-dropping revelation that has me shaking with excitement. What a ride!
