Dr. Lissa Morgan has a great career, family, and friends. She also has been harboring a huge crush on her best friend's brother, Cam. One night Cam unexpectedly shows up, battered, bruised, and cut and needs medical attention. After a glorious weekend together, Cam tells Lissa this can never happen again. Devastated, Lissa continues on and says she understands. He cares for her, deeply, but feels he does not deserve her.
Then a stalker enters the picture and Cam realizes that he needs to save her - what happens next is for you to read.
I wish I had realized this book was part of a series prior to reading it. I felt like I was missing something when they would reference other people. However, the book was enjoyable and kept me engaged.

To say Lissa Morgan's life has been hard would be an understatement. Losing her parents and surviving the crash that took them, is just one facet of her life. Committed to saving lives, Lissa is not a doctor and also a flight doctor. After her parents death Lissa goes to live with her best friend Dani Taylor's family.
Cam Taylor has always been dark and broody. Never one to see a future with a wife and kids, something inside Cam is broken. Deciding to ask someone he doesn't love to marry him seems like the right move. When it is engagement party time Lissa and Cam are in the same room for the first time in a very long time.
Lissa and Cam are electric! There is no denying the attraction and the underlying crush that Lissa has had for years is still present.
They back and forth between Cam and Lissa is short lived , which is nice. As a stalker keeps taunting Lissa, Cam and his Tactical Solutions International buddies get involved and are determined to get to the bottom of this.
For me I need this story to be longer (145 pages) I felt at times that this all just happened so fast. I will give the author a little leeway since they Cam and Lissa have known each other for a while. But man, I just need a little bit more of something.
It was a pleasant read , just too short for my liking. Will I be back for the rest of the guys stories, yes!

Lost and Found is a marvelous addition to the Tactical Solutions International series. This book features the boss man at TSI, Cam Taylor. He starts out as a bit of a jerk but ends up a total softy. Dr. Lissa Morgan’s biggest flaw is her big heart and her ability to forgive Cam for being a jerk. This is all going on as Lissa is being harassed by a stalker. If you like redeemed alphaholes, smart women, action, intrigue and love this is the book and the series for you. Fast paced, energetic and engrossing.

A good read with steam and some suspense and I did enjoy these two and would have given it 5 stars if not for one part that had me shaking my head and thinking that Cam is not so great.
The story starts out strong and these two do have sparks, the suspense and the flow of the story is also good but Cam I liked, then I didn’t.
The author didn’t make it clear whether he cheated or not, just that he went back to his old dating habits and it wasn’t clear whether he did cheat on Lissa or not before his date with the woman he ended up in the hospital with. I am willing to give the benefit of the doubt to the author and that s why I give it 3.5 stars instead of a 1 because I can’t stand cheating in a book. If a couple get together and then breaks it off and unless they have been apart for years, it’s cheating in my eyes.
I really liked Lissa, she was strong, independent and had a backbone as well as the suspense, bit of mystery and the flow of the read.

I just love it when I read a great story that leads me to a new author. Yeah! That is what happened when I began to read Lost and Found. Dr. Lissa Morgan has had a crush on Cameron Taylor, but knows it is hopeless when she is invited to his engagement party…to another woman. Cam realizes that he may be making a mistake when he sees Lissa at the party. Such a great cast of characters and a story that is not really new, but was unique in its own way and a wonderful read. Lissa has a stalker and Cam wants and needs to keep her safe. When she recognizes her stalker, it is too late and Cam and his Tactical Solutions team must race the clock to save her. Loved it and look forward to the first two books in this series along with the promise of more. I received an advance review copy at no cost and without obligation for an honest review.

This is the 3rd book in the Tactical Solutions International Series, but the 1st book I've read by this author and judging by this one, I'll be reading the first two very soon! This was a surprisingly quick, fast and very easy read although it's a full-length novel. The story flows easily and moves quickly which I find quite enjoyable in a romantic suspense -- it's not long and drawn out with unnecessary information. At first I found Cam to be a bit detached but once I got into the storyline and understood his background with Lissa and his family, it all made sense. And the chemistry between these two is palpable! If you're a fan of romantic suspense, I would definitely recommend this series. I voluntarily read and reviewed an ARC for NetGalley.

Dr. Lissa Morgan is disappointed to discover that her long time crush Cam Taylor is engaged to be married. When his engagement ends, Lissa find him at her door. After spending a beautiful night together, Cam lets her know that there is no future for them. When he discovers that Lissa has a stalker, he drops everything and is there to protect her. I received a free copy of this ebook from the publisher through Netgallery. This is my honest and voluntarily given review. This is a good romantic suspense book. Cam is really drawn to Lissa, but he does have a reason to hold back. With the stalker's action escalate, this story becomes very suspenseful. Lissa and Cam make a terrific couple. I would love to see this book made into a movie. This is an enjoyable and quick read.

I loved Run and Hide and knew I was in for a treat with this new story in the series. Boy, was I right.
This story centers around Dr. Lissa Morgan and Cam Taylor, owner of Tactical Solutions Int’l. Liss is ER physician whose teenage life was changed the day her parents were killed in an accident. She was adopted by her neighbors and best friend’s family. She always crushed on her older brother, Cam. But he was 7 years older and didn’t even notice her. That is, until he sees her the night of his engagement party. Weeks later when his life was turned upside down, she would be there for him to heal him physically and emotionally. But he has issues and each goes their separate ways, until a stalker’s threats escalate and she needs the help of his security company.
When Liss is in danger, Cam realizes he’ll do anything and everything to save her.
This emotional and action packed story will keep you turning the pages, and your heart pounding.
Another winner by this talented author and a story that will leaving anxious to read the next story in the series.

I really enjoyed this book a lot. It’s the third book in the series, but can easily be read as a stand alone novel.

I loved Liss. She’s an ER doctor and an all around great woman. She’s smart and strong. I’ll admit, I couldn’t stand Cam at first. He was a grade A jerk that didn’t deserve Liss, but he totally turned it around and redeemed himself!!

Liss has had a crush on Cam since they were kids, but he’s 7 years older and never looked at her that way, until now. But he’s got some childhood trauma and guilt built up and believes he doesn’t deserve good things.

When Liss has a stalker Cam sets his security team up to protect her - and he starts to realize that Liss is the perfect woman for him.

5 Stars for this action-packed romance!

WOW ... I just loved Cam and Lissa! I could not put this book down. It checked all the boxes for me ... it was a slow burn romance with lots of action in and out of the bedroom and you never knew what was going to happen next. It was very realistic as not only did it show the good side of life, but it also showed the dark side that resides in some of the characters.

Lissa lived with Cam's parents after her parents died. Cam was like her older brother even though he had already left home by the time she moved in. Lissa has always had a crush on Cam and he hardly noticed her. That is until years later, when she attends his engagement party dressed to kill in a little black dress. When Lyssa's apartment is broken into and Cam finds out she has a stalker, he feels this possessive need to protect her.

I really like how the author brought in characters from the previous books and I can just tell that there are a lot more stores with other characters in the book. This book is a fantastic addition to the series and I can't wait for the next book!

I received an early copy in exchange for a honest review.

This is the third book in a series, and I hadn’t read the first two, but I really didn’t need to. These work well as a standalone, although I did notice characters that were featured in the first two books that make an appearance here, and I will definitely go back and pick up the other two. I’m not a huge suspense reader, but this book hit all the sweet spots. Lissa lost her parents at a young age and was taken in by Dani and Cam’s family. Cam was older, and already off to college when Lissa moved in, and although they knew each other, they didn’t hang out together much, but Dani was Lissa’s sister in every way except blood.

When this book throws the two of them back together, Cam will see Lissa as an accomplished adult, a doctor in an ER that works brutal hours. This book is packed with action, danger, violence, suspense with a few twists I didn’t see coming, romance and love and loyalty from Cam’s amazing team. Romantic suspense lovers will enjoy this one.

This was a good book to read. Cam and Liss had grown up together but were not related. Cam gets engaged to someone he knew he didn't want to marry and realized it pretty quickly. Liss had a stalker that escalated when she started seeing Cam. When it gets out of hand with the stalker, Cam realizes how much Liss means to him. I liked the characters and how they worked together. Very likeable. I haven't read the other books in the series, but I will look them up now.

I got this book from NetGalley for an honest review

I haven't read any of the other books in the series yet but that hasn't dimmed my enjoyment of this book. (Edit. I have now added them all to my HUUUUGE TBR list!)

Lissa is an amazing doctor but she has a love life than needs emergency attention itself! Her childhood crush on Cam has always been present but she has done her best to ignore her feelings for him. Attending his engagement party pretty much has put paid to any glimmer of hope for them.

Cam has had feelings for Lissa for a while. But she is his sister's bestie, an excellent doctor and all-around nice person. She essentially lived with them growing up but he never saw her as another sister. But when his engagement ends in a burning ball of embarrassment, it ties in with stalking activity against Lissa. Enter Cam, Knight in Shining Armour. A chance to be around Lissa is just a bonus.

Brilliantly paced, engaging characters, action, adventure and oh so hot and steamy romance! Talk about a slow burner romance, these two have been on simmer for a decade at least! I admit I teared up when we found out the reason why Cam became Mr In Control and responsible for everyone.

**I receive a copy of Lost and Found (Tactical Solutions International) from Net Galley and Wave Equation Media in exchange for a voluntary and honest review. My opinions are my own and not solicited in any way**

Lost and Found by Maggie Clare is the third book in her TSI series and I have to say that this book is a non stop, pedal to the metal, fast paced ride to the end. I can't wait until the next book to come out so that being said I give this addition 4.8 stars. Fantastic story and I'd recommend reading the books in order as major characters appear in each book.

Dr. Lissa Morgan loves her job as a ER physician but lately there have been creepy notes in her locker and they're escalating.Meeting Cam Taylor at his engagement party has her remembering her crush on him. Cameron will show up when he's injured and be there when the threats escalate, he'll do everything to find her when she's kidnapped.

Cameron Taylor grew up with Lissa after his parents raised her after hers will killed in a car accident. But seeing her again years later rekindles memories he's tried to forget can Lissa help him move on so that they can see what the future holds? Will he find her in time after she's taken?

Lost and Found was a fantastic, action packed, romantic story. Our heroine Lissa is a successful, talented and dedicated ER doctor. Her long time crush Cam, who has always been our of reach finally notices her. However, when his interest in her is finally returned he couldnt possibly be more unattainable. I truly enjoyed this read. These two together were a combustible peer. This story had the perfect amount of drama, angst, intrigue and steam.

Lost and Found was a fast-paced, and genuinely readable story. That not only had a satisfying amount of suspense, but likable characters, and an interesting romance. Although I wasn't one hundred percent convinced by Cam's quick turn around when it came to his feelings and romance with his sister's best friend Liss. But nevertheless I enjoyed it, and I was completely engaged throughout. Plus, I'd definitely read more from this series and author in the future, and I'd happily recommend Lost and Found to others.

Captures your emotions and attention:
I really enjoyed this 3rd book in the Tactical Solutions International series (which can totally be read as a standalone). It was engaging and I felt an immediate connection to the main characters and was fully invested in their story.
Cam has known Lissa since childhood but has always seen her as a little sister. Now that she is in danger he can't deny or ignore his feelings for her any longer, even though he struggles with guilt and feelings of inadequacy. Meanwhile Lissa has been hurt in the past and I was so happy when things finally worked out for them.
I liked the tension and intrigue surrounding the stalker, although I wasn't totally on the edge of my seat. Overall a good book for fans of romantic suspense.
I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review. All opinions expressed are solely my own.

A sexy, fast paced read. I truly enjoyed this story. The relationship, the steamy sex scenes, and the intrigue, add to the storyline. This is the third book in the series, and I feel should be read in order since the previous characters in the other books are used in this one, and it'll make it easier to understand. I can't wait for the next one.

Lost and Found, a 4.5 star read for me, tells the story of Lissa, an ER doctor, and Cam, part owner of TSI, a private security firm. Lissa's best friend is Dani, Cam's little sister, who does a really good job at supporting two people she loves even when they're at odds. Lissa and Cam find each other as they recover from recent breakups. Cam's is very fresh while Lissa's is a little more distant. Lissa and Cam ultimately get to their happily ever after but there are some bumps along the way in the forms of a stalker, childhood trauma that rears its ugly head, and other relationships.

The only aspect of this book that I didn't enjoy (thus the loss of half a star) is that one earth wonderfully shattering thing happened unrealistically quickly after a not-so-pleasant one. That rebound was probably required to set-up some of the relationship conflict that needed to be worked through but it surprised me. There is well-written heat and it's descriptive so anyone who (unlike me) is more comfortable with leaving things to the imagination might want to take a pass. All of the characters are engaging, skilled in their professions and just genuinely nice people. This is true not only for Lissa and Cam but for the secondary characters including Dani. Derek, AJ, and (surprisingly) Melina. I appreciated that the author told the story through dialogue and action rather than through internal discussions in a character's head. The book is also well-edited.

I am grateful to Booksprout for providing the review copy of Lost and Found on which this review is based. I am more appreciative that they have introduced me to an author that I plan to read more in the future.

It was a good romance novel. I especially enjoyed how the discovery of the stalker was shrouded in mystery. It also feels quite medically researched.

I think the story was too expected and so it robbed of the intrigue I would have loved to feel.
