[DRC was in a format I couldn't read, so bought and read after publication.]

FOCUS LOST is a very well-written novel of Hollywood, celebrity, and privacy. It's quickly-paced without being rushed, and the story will hook you from the start. Engaging and well-drawn characters. My first read by Doug Cooper, and it won't be my last. Recommended.

Wow Doug Cooper sure knows how to suck you in on one hell of a ride! This was such a good read. Full of suspense and twists. I love how everyone's lives were tangled up and what started as something innocent turned into so much drama.
What started off as an innocent trip to a waterfall with his Co star soon turns Levi's world upside down when the pair get photographed by Gabe who is trying to make a living selling his photos to support himself and his sister. Gabe has gone out to shoot the waterfall and has no idea who has got in his shots untill his sister points out it no other than a pair of celebrities from a recent blockbuster. Things soon get messy and everyone's life will never be the same.
This book exceeded my expectations it was fast paced and I didn't want to stop once I got going. Doug really knows how to use his descriptive scene setting to his advantage as it draws you in. Loved it!

Focus Lost is definitely a page turner and while there were a few disturbing points in the plot, I enjoyed it overall. I felt that there characters were well developed and the book portrayed fame, paparazzi, etc accurately. An enjoyable read!

I thoroughly enjoyed this book and really didn't expect to! The premise of the book is that a photographer accidentally takes photographs of two people having sex at a waterfall to later discover that they are celebrities and one of the participants is underage.

The book takes the reader on a crazy ride as events spin more and more out of control after the photographs are released and I enjoyed every moment of it.

The fact that the book is written in present tense threw me a little at first but it worked really well at building suspense.

Thank you Netgalley and Rare Bird Books for the ARC of focus lost. This book really intrigued me. It is definitely a lot different then the books I usually read but in a good way. I really enjoyed this book full of stardom and lies and manipulation. It was a fun ride and I definitely recommend.

Thank s to NET GALLEY fro an ARC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So in the story Levi Combs and Emily James remind us as the Bible says your sins will find yo out. A different story with a lot of moving parts with interesting themes of love and betrayal. Parts will remind yo that lady justice is blindfolded!!!

A story about two superstars who have a days' affair and learn to regret it. Emily James and Levi Combs are literally caught with their pants down. Problem is: Emily is only 17.

Gabe happens upon the two frolicking in the water - and more. An honest guy, Gabe, had to raise his teenage sister, Abbie, due to the untimely death of their parents. He is taking pictures (as he does for a living) and - not intending to - gets a few snapshots of Levi & Emily in compromising positions.

The real fun begins when Abbie sells the pics to an online tabloid for $10,000 without Abe's consent. He thinks the police should have been called, instead.
Yes, the Deputy DA has had an eye on Levi. He's a little old to be a "bad boy" but Levi already has a shaky status with law enforcement.

We weave through the lives of the haves and have nots. This story does not disappoint! I found it to be interesting and surprising all the way! Recommend!!!

Many Thanks to Rare Bird Books and NetGalley for a fine read.
