Synopsis
My name is Melodi White, I had a dream once like every other girl does.
Then one day, my dream was torn to shreds, by my sister’s evil boyfriend, Jacob. It’s been three years since she was ripped from my life. She wasn’t just any sister; no, she was my twin, my best friend.
 
Deciding to follow our childhood dream of moving to New York, I head for a life of adventure and fun. A night on the town and I find myself wrapped in the arms of one gorgeous, drop-dead-sexy man, Corban. He has literally swept me off my feet, taken my breath away with a single kiss and left me wanting more, a feeling completely alien to me.
 
Corban Andrews, CEO of Case Construction, rich, sexy and ravishing is set to make my world come undone. I allow myself to put my trust in him, but will his rules and my trust issues let us explore what we could have together? It’s either that or am I at risk of staying lost and alone.
When a blast from my past reappears, I know I may be pushed so far down the rabbit hole, Corban and I just may not survive. It all comes down to survival and choices. I have no idea which I will choose.

Review

The Lost One (Lost Series, #1)The Lost One by Liz Lovelock

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

this is a really good book especially considering it’s a debut novel. it was well written and somewhat suspenseful although some of the happenings were a bit predictable – especially when i discovered it was book 1 to a series. i knew to expect the cliffhanger ending. i honestly love that not every scene included a graphic sex scene…i usually skip over most of them because they become tired. liz handled the sex scenes beautifully!

melodi is strong at times but seems a bit weepy at other times – obviously some of it is to be expected. she is funny and quirky. corban seems a bit too good to be true. throughout the entire book i kept waiting for him to be the bad guy or surprise us with information regarding abby or somehow be involved but he never was. i do think their love affair escalated unrealistically quickly. i also think he changed his tune too quickly – going from boss/employee to lover. maybe if we had his POV it would have helped that.

there is a great twist at the end, leaving us starving for book 2 already!

Excerpt
A huge playful smile swipes across his face, which sets my chest racing.  “I’m sure you will be fine. Anyway, Melodi, I would love to stay and get to  know you a little better, but unfortunately, I have a meeting in about twenty minutes, which I probably shouldn’t be late for.” He reaches his hand out like he is about to shake my hand. You’re seriously not just going to shake my hand!
Surprising me for the second time, he takes my hand, placing a gentle kiss across my knuckles, and then pulls me close, pressing his lips to mine. I taste him; boy, he tastes good. It’s nothing like our kiss the other night.  This is more…more sensual.
Savouring the moment, until his cologne drifting around me drives me crazy, igniting a raging fire within me. My arms wrap around his neck, pulling him closer to me. Our kiss becomes more heated.
I remember we are standing in the middle of the footpath when a car goes past blasting its horn. I’m not sure if it’s at us or something else. I slowly pull away, placing one more gentle kiss to his warm lips. Mine already ache from the loss. We stay where we are, holding each other, neither of us wanting to move.

His eyes blaze brighter; I can even see a sparkle. Leaning into me, he whispers, “Until next time, my sweet Melodi.” Feeling his breath on my cheek sends goose bumps over my entire body.
