Description

Dr. Lissa Morgan has had a crush on her best friend’s older brother since they were kids, but handsome, brooding Cam Taylor has never given her a second glance. When Cam unexpectedly shows up on Lissa’s doorstep bleeding and bruised, his personal life in shambles, things between them take a steamy turn.

After an incredible weekend with the sweet, sexy doctor, Cam realizes what he’s been missing. But he’s run from intimacy his whole life, sure he doesn’t deserve a woman like Lissa. He’s doing her a favor by walking away – or so he tells himself.

Frustrated and hurt by Cam’s distance, Lissa must nonetheless rely on his private security firm when an annoying admirer becomes a threat. The more time Cam spends with Lissa, the faster his defenses crumble. When the disturbed stalker finally makes his move, Cam will do whatever it takes to save the woman who’s slowly healing his wounded soul.

Lost and Found is the third book in the Tactical Solutions International series but can be read as a stand-alone.

Featured Reviews

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.

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?

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.

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.

I loved Cam and Lissa! Cam is big alpha male who has some serious baggage - and thinks he doesn't deserve love or happiness. He is the co-owner of a global security company based in Boston. He is a serious caregiver though - he seems to do everything he can to support the people he loves. When the book starts he is on the verge of getting engaged to a woman it is clear he really isn't in love with.

Lissa is an emergency room doctor who works incredibly hard. She just got out of a bad relationship with another doctor who seems like a serial cheater. She grew up with Cam's family after her parents died in a car crash. Cam was already out of the house by the time she moved in.

They reconnect when Cam gets engaged - and really connect on a new level when Cam finds his fiance cheating on him and needs Lissa to stitch him up after the fight.

There are a lot of moments of predictability in this book - Cam pushing Lissa away because he isn't good enough for her - Lissa being in danger. But the story is extremely engaging and has a lot of true strong emotion. Cam's history is really difficult to read - and deserves a content warning for <spoiler>child sexual abuse and suicide</spoiler>. Lissa's experience with her stalker is also particularly terrifying because of the nature of it.

The only thing that kept this from being a five star read for me was Cam's insta love for Lissa. It seemed to come out of the blue - even for a romantic suspense like this. I think some more time could have been spent showing their past connection to support the present love.

But overall - this is a great read that i couldn't put down!

I received this as an ARC from NetGalley, but these opinions are all my own.

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.

Lissa has loved Cam from afar for as long as she remembered - watching him with his perfect society fiance is just par for the course for her unrequited crush. But when he shows up to comfort her and then shows up for stitches - her unrequited crush becomes much more.

Fast-paced, steamy as heck and right on target for another TSI book (can't wait for more!). Liss is a great heroine with a giant heart who holds Cam accountable for being an idiot. Cam is bold and brave and hotter than sin. I wasn't totally sure how to take his about-face with his emotions but he was all in once he admitted them - I do love when a romance hero actually acknowledges his faults and his feelings. There was a great twist with the suspense aspect of the book that I definitely did not see coming and added more weight to the depth of the book.

I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.
