Book Review - Lost in Me by Lexi Ryan




My Thoughts

Hannah wakes up in the hospital after a nasty fall down the stairs with a case of amnesia and doesn't remember the last year of her life. What she finds out is that she is engaged to a man she has been infatuated with forever, owns and runs a successful bakery, and has lost all the weight she struggled with for so long. She was living the life she had always wanted. Or was she? As she begins to retrieve some of her memories she realizes that maybe her life was completely different.

My heart just broke for Hannah as she wrestled with empty memories of her life. I kept wishing that someone would just tell her what was happening in her life, but the truth is that most of the people in her life really didn't know. It was like they each knew bits and pieces, but none could string them together. Those that knew the really important stuff held back for their own agenda which made me want to smack them really hard (MAX-hole).

I really liked Nate then he did that whole "I love you but I can't give you what you need." thing. Boo! I do want to hear more about their time together though. And he did get some redeem points for the moment when he made the plane wait.

Oh and holy freakin' cliffhanger!
Can't wait to read the next book for sure now!

I give Lost in Me 5 hearts!



About the Book

The last thing I remember is having drinks at Brady’s and trying to avoid eye-contact with my life-long crush—the gorgeous, unattainable Maximilian Hallowell. They tell me that was a year ago, but I have no memories of anything since then. What I do have is this ring on my finger that Max says he gave me, and this much-thinner body I’ve dreamed of most of my life. Aside from a case of retrograde amnesia, everything seems almost...perfect. 

 But the deeper I immerse myself into this new world of mine—planning a wedding to a man I don't remember dating, attempting to run a business I don't remember starting—the clearer it becomes that nothing is as it seems. Do I have the life I’ve always wanted or is it a facade propped up by secrets I don't even know I have? I need answers before I marry Max, and the only person who seems to have them is the angry, tatted, sexy-as-sin rocker Nate Crane. And Nate wants me for himself.

About the Author 

 Once a college English professor, I now write full time. I live in rural Indiana, where, when I'm not writing, I get to hang out with my husband and two kids--a six-year-old boy and a two-year-old hellion, er, girl. Not surprisingly, reading and writing remain my favorite activities, though both come in bits and pieces these days, not the big hunks of time I enjoyed before I had children. When I'm feeling virtuous, I like to go running (I use that word liberally. I'm really, really slow) or do yoga. Don't worry, I'm always careful to balance out such activities with a hearty serving of ice cream or a chocolate martini.
