Lost in Me

Here and Now

De: Lexi Ryan

Narrado por: Piper Goodeve

Lost in Me is the first book in the Here and Now trilogy, a spin-off of the New York Times and USA Today best-selling New Hope series. It is not a stand-alone and is intended to be enjoyed with books two and three, Fall to You and All for This.

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.

Lost in Me is not a standalone novel, as the story continues in Here and Now book two, Fall to You.

A pleasant surprise. And a great cliffhanger.

It is an interesting story plot and a great mystery through out the book. Great romance, and your not sure who to route for.

Fascinating Plot~ Kept Me Guessing!

What a twist on the common amnesia story line. I was absolutely enthralled with the entire book. The narrator, the characters and the plot continued to develop throughout. I could not put it down! Already purchased next in the series and will be encouraging my book club members to read/listen with whispersync!

Amazing Love Triangle!!!

Would you listen to Lost in Me again? Why?

Yes, because it is an amazing story that draws you in from the very first page.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Lost in Me?

Trying to figure out what was happening in the story and where Lexi Ryan was taking the story.

What does Piper Goodeve bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

She lets me experience the book from a different perspective. You can just listen to the story and you see things in a different way than if you were to just read it.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

This book will leave you on the edge of your seat, biting your nails waiting to find out what happens next.

Any additional comments?

This is an amazing trilogy. You will love all the characters in this book that you will be sad that it ends.

Excellent Story and Excellent Narration

The author, Lexi Ryan, did a great job developing the plot. The story was impossible to put down. The build up was detailed even though she jumped from today to previous times. It wasn't hard to keep up with the story. Lexi developed the characters with enough detail to completely understand where they fit in the book. She wrote the love triangle so well that while reading it, I just didn't know which one Hannah should choose. The narrator was awesome. She has such a versatile voice that each character was easily identified. Just disappointed that it was a cliffhanger. I had to turn around and immediately buy the next book, so I could find out what happened and how Hannah got there. Still enjoyed this book and look forward to the next two in the series.

Lost in Me is a Must Listen!

If you could sum up Lost in Me in three words, what would they be?

Hanna Loves Who?

What other book might you compare Lost in Me to and why?

Lexi has a writing style all her own. It translates to well to audio.

What does Piper Goodeve bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

I read Lost in Me before listening on Audible. Piper delivers Hanna's story in just the right tone.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Hanna and Nate are by the river and she finds out who he is to her for the first time. Nate...sigh...

Any additional comments?

I've read all of the books in the Here and Now trilogy. I can't wait to listen to the other two!!

a different story line from the rest

So I want to start off by saying that this is nice to have a different story line than the same as every other book out there. Most books have the same story line just change characters a bit as you go, but not this one. She has an accident that makes it so she can't remember the last 11 months of her life. Then she finds out that she was engaged, only to find out that it is not everything she originally though it was. Heads up, this does end in a cliff hanger. Honestly, I don't know how she can go along with having a wedding in such a short time frame when she doesn't even remember being with him romantically, but ever person is different which is why it is OK for her to accept that. I know if I was in her place, EVERYTHING would be put on hold until I could see if I am still a match. Plus, there were a lot of things that didn't add up for her, but she just went along with it for her mothers sake. Can't say I haven't been there before. The need she feels to be accepted by her mother out weighs pretty much everything. Overall, the book is good. I have already finished the second book in the series and am glad they decided to go with a male narrator with the female as I prefer that way, but I have yet to finish he final book.

Cute Cute Cute

cute, light, easy, fun read. Silly & funny; loved the characters! I laughed out loud. Just what I needed! cute & funny

WOW WOW & WOW - IT WAS PERFECT....... JUST PERFECT

Oh what a fantastic twisted delicious love triangle this is as Lexi Ryan cleverly spun an intricate web between Hannah, Max and Nate.... Hannah woke up, then Max was there, then questions, insecurities, secrets, then Nate was there. More questions.... more insecurities, more secrets but this time heartache and a tear-filled dilemma too. But this story is way way more than just a mere love triangle.

This is such a well written and developed plot and, as is slowly unfolds, you have NO idea where the story is headed so you have to listen to the heartbreak, the drama, the emotional roller coaster and the romance as it all brilliantly plays out. And you get caught up in the tension, the twists and the devastating turmoil in everyone's lives. It's sensual and sexy yet there's been no 'coupling' but lots of 'other' activities.

Then, oh boy, then came the Nate's WTF declaration and a gasp, mouth open HOLY SH*T of a cliffhanger"...... that I just didn't EVER see that particular one coming. But the best, ahhhh and sigh the best, is that the whole trilogy is available now..... no tear your hair out waiting, no forgetting parts, no will they won't they - no, just this quick review then straight into books 2 then 3.

Worth the credit? This is a series that any romance fan would love love love as I did so YES YES and shouting it loud YES creditworthy. Great narration too which made ever single chapter, every single paragraph and every single word just perfect.

LOVED IT!

Would you consider the audio edition of Lost in Me to be better than the print version?

I've read this book, and I've listened to it. I enjoyed both equally. The narrator was really did a great job bringing the characters to life.

Who was your favorite character and why?

I love Hanna. Hand's down, she's amazing. BUT I've also got a soft spot for the sexy rocker, Nate Crane.

Which scene was your favorite?

The very last one, because it had be DYING to get to the next book!

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

What if you woke up with the life you've always dreamed of? How hard would you look beneath the surface?

Any additional comments?

Lexi Ryan NEVER disappoints. Her writing is fantastic, her characters relatable, and her plots twisty and sexy. I can never get enough!

Pleasantly surprised!

The story was written in such a way that I felt as if I were trying to put the pieces together along side the main character (Hannah). I couldn't stop listening if I tried simply because, while so much happened in this book, there was still so much left unknown. I was pleased with the fact that there were tons of holes in the story (essential information) yet I had enough story to feel intrigued and invested. I am eager to read the next book to continue the plight for answers, yet I didn't walk away saying "what was that about!?!" I read this book in one day because the storyline flowed so smoothly that there wasn't an obvious spot to pause. I bought this book on a whim and I was pleasantly surprised!
