ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date July 12, 2021

Even with a degree in psychology and a keen ability to read people, security specialist Bree Graves can’t seem to get a bead on her boss. There was a time she thought she had him figured out but she’d been wrong. Still, she loves her job with PASS and her team has become her family. However, she doesn’t realize how much she needs them until her latest assignment puts her on the radar of a dangerous stalker.

For Yanis Mazur the safety of his PASS team is paramount. Even if that means sacrificing his personal life. Not only did he spend years building his security firm, but also the shield protecting his emotions. Yet when the one person who could breach his walls goes missing during an assignment he sent her on, he’s willing to risk both his business and his heart to get her back.

A victim of obsession, betrayal, and violence, Bree has no choice but to put her faith in the man who almost broke her.

••••••

REVIEW:LOST AND FOUND is the fourth instalment in Freya Barker’s contemporary, adult PASS romantic suspense series focusing on the men and women who work for PASS (Protection and Security Services) in Grand Junction, Colorado. This is forty-six year old, head of PASS Yanis Mazur, and forty-two year old security specialist Bree Graves’ story line. LOST AND FOUND can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Yanis and Bree) LOST AND FOUND is a second chance story focusing on forty-six year old, head of PASS Yanis Mazur, and forty-two year old security specialist Bree Graves. Approximately fifteen years earlier life imploded for our story line couple, and Yanis pushed our heroine out of his life. Working side by side meant up close and personal through all of theoir personal and professional ups and downs but Yanis never stopped loving the woman that had stolen his heart. A recent assignment found our heroine in the direct line of fire-an abduction and a case of mistaken identity left Bree recovering at the home of the man who continued to control her heart. As the team at PASS begins to investigate the who, how and why, bodies are discovered, and a connection to local law enforcement, the Mob, and members of the government begin to reveal a long list of secrets and sins throughout the years. What ensues is the rebuilding romance and relationship between Bree and Yanis, and the potential fall-out as Bree’s would be attacker returns to finish the job.

Yanis Mazur screwed up fifteen years earlier, pushing the only woman he would ever love out of his life but working together meant working with the woman that has stolen his heart, watching from the sidelines as she fell in love and married someone else. Bree Graves never stopped loving our story line hero but her heart was destroyed the day Yanis walked out of her life. Secrets long buried would come to the surface forcing Yanis to look long and hard at what happened and why. When the team at PASS find themselves in the direct line of fire, Yanis has to separate himself from the woman he loves, leaving a vulnerable Bree to protect the people he left behind.

The relationship between Bree and Yanis is one of second chances: a rekindling romance that was destroyed by secrets and lies, grief and guilt. Bree knew Yanis had always been the man who controlled her heart but her secrets could very well destroy the possibility of a happily ever after. The $ex scenes are intimate and passionate without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

There is a large ensemble cast of secondary and supporting characters including many we have met in previous story lines: Jake and Rosie (Hit and Run #1); Dimis and Willa (Life and Limb #2); Hilary and Radar (Lock and Load 3); Kai, Shep and receptionist Lena; Yanis and Dimis’ parents Anna and Max; several local law enforcement, FBI; winery owner Joe Flynn, and mobsters Angelo Sarrazin, and Guiseppe Albero,

LOST AND FOUD is story of family, friendships, betrayal and love. A story of obsession, power, secrets and lies; a tale of second chances and forgiveness. The character driven premise is fast paced, engaging and captivating; the characters are feisty, energetic, and animated; the romance is provocative and intimate.

Lost and Found by Danielle Steel – a Review

Lost and Found by Danielle Steel – a Review

 

Amazon / B&N / Kobo / BAM / Book Depository / Google Play

 

Description:
What might have been? That tantalizing question propels a woman on a cross-country adventure to reunite with the men she loved and let go, in Danielle Steel’s exhilarating new novel.

It all starts with a fall from a ladder, in a firehouse in New York City. The firehouse has been converted into a unique Manhattan home and studio where renowned photographer Madison Allen works and lives after raising three children on her own. But the accident, which happens while Maddie is sorting through long-forgotten personal mementos and photos, results in more than a broken ankle. It changes her life.

Spurred by old memories, the forced pause in her demanding schedule, and an argument with her daughter that leads to a rare crisis of confidence, Maddie embarks on a road trip. She hopes to answer questions about the men she loved and might have married—but didn’t—in the years after she was left alone with three young children. Wearing a cast and driving a rented SUV, she sets off to reconnect with three very different men—one in Boston, one in Chicago, and another in Wyoming—to know once and for all if the decisions she made long ago were the right ones. Before moving forward into the future, she is compelled to confront the past.

As the miles and days pass, and with each new encounter, Maddie’s life comes into clearer focus and a new future takes shape.

 

 

Review:

Lost and Found by Danielle Steel is another wonderful story about families that grow distant over time. 

Madison Allen, our heroine, is a 58 year old woman, who has a successful career as a famous photographer; lives alone in a firehouse in New York City that was made into a glorious house and studio.  Madison has three grown children, whom she rarely sees, as they all have their own lives. One evening, Madison decides to look through some old letters, and falls from the ladder, thereby breaking her ankle.  Madison’s daughter, who comes across as a coldhearted b*tch, tells her she should move to an assistant living home, that she might be becoming senile, etc.   This will lead Madison to take a couple of weeks off, and go on a trip down memory lane, to visit some old flames along the way.  Her trek will take her to Boston, Chicago and Wyoming, and in the first two stops she meets the men whom she had a relationship, and knows she made the right choice in leaving.  When she gets to Wyoming, she goes to meet the one man she still thinks about, but learns that he died a couple of months ago.  Madison enjoyed her visit with the rancher’s family, and how he never forgot her. 

Since Madison is not far from California, where her son lives, she decides to visit him.  I did like her son, who was determined to pay more attention to his mother, as well as telling off his sister, who was so negative and nasty to their mom.  I also enjoyed when Madison visited her younger daughter, who is a loner and a writer. It was really nice to see the change in her daughter and her surprise boyfriend.

Prior to visiting her son, she meets a man at the Big Sur, who is a writer from England.  They both enjoy each other’s company, and she meets him after the visit with her son; the attraction between them is strong, and Madison needs to decide if she really wants to get into any relationship.

What follows is a heartwarming story, as Madison builds her confidence and rekindles her relationships with her son and younger daughter, as well as standing up to her older daughter.  Over a short period of time, Madison opens to love again, but a tragic accident overseas on a photoshoot, will bring her family and boyfriend together in a sweet wonderful ending.  Lost and Found was another great story by Danielle Steel.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date February 26, 2019

Owen Shaw and his “brothers” lost everything, their entire existence erased. Science had robbed he and all the Lost Boys of their memories and their past, but not their future. Hunted by every intelligence agency in the world, they are focused on two goals: find a cure for what was done to them and ensure that the technology that ruined their lives doesn’t get out into the world. Rebecca Walsh might be the key to achieving both. Owen has been studying her closely, living in her building, and he cannot resolve how such a beautiful, giving woman could have helped design the evil process that destroyed his past.

Dr. Rebecca Walsh has dedicated her life to researching the secrets of the mind. Her atmospheric rise in her field was fueled by the horror of watching her mother’s agonizing journey into madness at the hands of a disease with no cure. She vowed to never rest until she finds it. But obsession takes a heavy toll, and when Owen moves into her building she realizes how much of her life she has missed out on. Owen opens her eyes to a whole new world, filled with joy, laughter, and possibly love.

Owen and Rebecca grow closer, unraveling more about each other and the mysteries surrounding her connection to Hope McDonald. As the sinister forces working against the Lost Boys descend on Toronto, secrets long buried are uncovered that could shatter the bonds holding the Lost Boys together and cost Rebecca her life.

•••••••••

REVIEW: LOST AND FOUND is the second instalment in Lexi Blake’s contemporary, adult MASTERS AND MERCENARIES: The Forgotten erotic, romantic suspense series focusing on six former military soldiers (Jax, Dante, Sasha, Tucker, Owen and Robert) whose minds and lives were eradicated and erased. This is Scotsman and former SAS soldier, Owen Shaw, and Dr. Rebecca Walsh’s story line. The Forgotten is a spin-off from the author’s Masters and Mercenaries series, and the characters were first introduced and play an important throughout the original series.

NOTE: If you have not read Lexi Blake’s original Masters and Mercenaries series, their may be some confusion as it pertains to the Lost Boys and their backstory.

SOME BACKGROUND: Several months earlier, the mercenaries from the McKay-Taggart Black Ops group rescued, from an unauthorized military lab, run by Dr. Hope McDonald, six men they labelled the ‘Lost Boys’. With their memories wiped clean, no ID, and no traceable DNA, the Lost Boys were essentially ‘new born’ soldiers trained to kill and destroy. The Forgotten are their stories.

Told from several third person perspectives including Owen and Rebecca LOST AND FOUND follows Owen Shaw as he is tasked with learning as much information about their target-Dr. Rebecca Walsh- a research scientist once known to have worked alongside Dr. Hope McDonald. Now working in Toronto Canada, Rebecca Walsh is unaware of the ramifications of her earlier research and tests, tests that may have included wiping the memories of innocent men. Hoping to have made a clean break from her past, Rebecca will soon discover that she has been targeted by more than one source including the man with whom she will fall in love. As the relationship between Owen and Rebecca continues to build, the truth will be revealed leaving Rebecca wondering if everything she knows and was told is a lie. What ensues is the building relationship and romance between Rebecca and Owen, and the fall-out as Rebecca and the ‘Lost Boys’ continue to be targeted for who they are and what they know.

Owen Shaw has no idea of the who and what of his previous life but suspects the truth may send all of the ‘Lost Boys’ spiralling out of control. With flashes of memory from his past, Owen struggles with the realization that he couldn’t save the people he loved, regardless of the promises made or the expectations met. Meeting Rebecca Walsh, an assignment and nothing more, gave Owen a hope for the future but a future with too many unanswered questions, secrets and lies. Rebecca Walsh had only ever wanted to discover a cure for Alzheimer’s and dementia, a disease that took the life of her beloved mother. But like all research there comes the good and the bad, and it is Rebecca’s knowledge of what was that makes her a target on so many levels.

The relationship between Owen and Rebecca begins as a lie. Owen is assigned to get up close with our story line heroine never expecting to fall in love. The $ex scenes are intimate and passionate with some scenes of light discipline and spanking.

There is a large ensemble cast of colorful secondary and supporting characters including Owen’s Lost Boy brothers: Jax and his significant other River: Dante, Sasha, Tucker, and Robert, as well as Big Tag; Theo Taggart and Erin Argent, Nick and Hayley, and Ezra Fain. The requisite evil has many faces including the continuing struggles with Levi Green. I have only touched the tip of the proverbial iceberg with the number of characters and familiar faces. Once again, there may be some confusion as it pertains to the names, nicknames and former names of several agents, soldiers and lost boys.

LOST AND FOUND is a story of betrayal, secrets and lies; family, friendship, hope and loss. The premise is intriguing and energetic; the characters are charismatic, strong, broken and hopeful; the romance is seductive and intense. LOST AND FOUND follows the lives of six men who against the odds, have survived to fight another day.

“Becca.” Owen’s voice was low. “Concentrate on me, on our conversation. You’ve done incredibly well. You’ve been able to hold it off, but this has gone on far longer than you ever should have been expected to handle it. This elevator is tight. I feel it, too, but we can hold off the anxiety together.”
She doubted very much the man in front of her was anxious. He looked solid, like the kind of man who took whatever came his way and simply dealt with it. He wouldn’t have needed two freaking years to figure out what he wanted. He would have signed his divorce papers and moved on, not hiding in his work.
It struck her forcibly that she might never have met a man like Owen Shaw. Her childhood had been fairly sheltered. She’d constantly been surrounded by intellectuals, men and women who were far more concerned with their work than anything else.
The ground beneath her shifted and the elevator dropped what felt like ten feet, but she knew in her head it was mere inches. Her heart rate tripled, and she grabbed on to the closest thing she could—him.
His arms went around her, holding her up, and she heard it. He was so tall that her head naturally rested on his chest, and she could hear his heart beating in rapid time.
He was nervous.
The phone rang and Owen cursed, reaching out to grab it. The shaft was so small, he didn’t have to let her go to grasp it.
“What the bloody hell is happening, Colin?”
She could hear his voice over the line. “Sorry. So sorry. We had to lower the shaft the tiniest bit. I should have warned you. It’s not going to fall. Just needed to reposition to get to the problem. Not long now. Another half an hour or so and I’ll have you right out of there.”
“If you do that again, do you know what I’m going to do to you, Colin?”
There was a pause over the line and she could practically hear Colin’s gulp. “Write my father a tersely worded letter of complaint?”
“No, I’m going to pull your heart out through your throat and then I’ll shove it back up your arse.”
“You sound very much like Liam Neeson in that movie.”
“Liam Neeson is Irish. I’m a Scot. I assure you what I’ll do to you will make you run into Liam Neeson’s arms and beg him to save you.” He reached back and hung up the phone with a resounding clang.
His arm went back around her. “It’s going to be all right. They’ll move faster now. So you’ve taken a sabbatical from men.”
She breathed him in, loving how he smelled. Were men supposed to smell so good?
She could feel herself relax as he held her. She’d known him for three hours. She shouldn’t let him hold her like this.
And why the fuck not? Because it wasn’t smart? Because he might think she wanted something she shouldn’t?
She was human. Why shouldn’t she want him? Because society told her that good girls didn’t make out with guys they’d just met in an elevator?
Society sucked, and she wasn’t a good girl. When her husband had tried to put his name on her work, she’d told him to fuck off and write his own paper. When he’d cheated on her, she’d walked away.
She was single.
God, was he single?
She stepped back.
“What’s wrong?” Owen asked.
“Do you have a girlfriend?”
His lips curled up in the sweetest grin, as though he knew exactly why she was asking that question. “No, love. I don’t have a girlfriend and I don’t have a wife.”
He was single. She was single.
The moment lengthened between them.
He stepped back. “I’m sorry. I’m coming on way too strong.”
He wasn’t. He’d been gentlemanly, friendly. Up until the last couple of moments, he hadn’t put a hand on her or leered. She could feel his attraction. It was there in the warm way he looked at her, in the set of his shoulders, relaxed earlier and tense now that he’d touched her. He was thinking about the same thing she was.
“I’m very nervous, Owen. My logical mind knows that it’s far more likely for me to die getting hit by lightning than in an elevator, even one that’s stuck.” Unfortunately, her logical mind was slowly losing control of her dumbass lizard brain.
“Will talking help?” Owen asked. “Because I’m willing to do that. Or whatever you need to take your mind off things.”
There was a wealth of promise in those words. Dirty and sweet at the same time. They’d shared her wine, passing it back and forth between them, her lips touching the same place his had been moments before. When she’d drank after him, she’d thought about kissing him.
It had been too long. Two years was way too long to go without sex.
They had a half an hour or so. At least that’s what Colin—who might be murdered soon by Owen Shaw—said. She even thought his name was sexy.
What exactly would it hurt if she did kiss him? If she touched him and let him touch her? Hell, what would it hurt if she fucked him? They were both single, both a little needy. They had some time to kill. They’d done everything else.
“I would like to kiss you.” If he didn’t want her to, he could say no and they could find something else to do. She wasn’t going to be embarrassed because some guy didn’t want her. Some stunningly gorgeous guy. Some really funny, sexy guy. After all, she wouldn’t see him after this. She’d never seen him before. He’d told her he was moving in, but she went into work early and came home late. He was a bodyguard, so he likely worked odd hours and traveled a lot.
He was safe. She could open that door, enjoy herself, and then close it again. Owen Shaw could be her first really good memory in a long time, the start of many because it was time to get serious about finding some joy and balance in her life.
But only if he wanted some joy, too.
He moved back, placing his back against the elevator wall, the sweetest smile lighting up his face. “You have no idea how much I want you to kiss me. I’m right here, love. Do your worst.”
He was letting her make the first move. And probably the second. And the third. He was obviously a careful man. It would be easier if he took over, but he was right. This needed to be her choice, and she had to make the move.
She’d been the girl who’d told her parents at the age of five that kindergarten was boring and she wanted to move through the grades until she found something challenging. When they’d told her they wanted her to slow down and enjoy her childhood, she’d gone on strike until the teachers at her school begged her parents to let them move her up.
She was the girl who’d put it all on hold to take care of her mother, too.
She wasn’t the girl who didn’t take what she wanted, and she wanted Owen Shaw.
“It’s been a long time since I did this.” But her body was already heating up. Her body remembered. Her marriage might have sucked, but the sex had been fairly good. It had been the reason she’d married him. She’d gotten used to regular, good sex.
She’d get used to it again, just on her terms this time.
“Somehow, I think you’ll remember,” he said. “You play all you like. Stop when you want to.”
She’d been right about him. He was a careful man. “And if I don’t want to stop?”
“Then you should be happy I’m a man who believes in being prepared.”

Remembering Everly (Lost and Found #2) by J.L. Berg-Review and Book Tour

REMEMBERING EVERLY (Lost and Found #2) by J.L.Berg-Review and Book Tour

 

Amazon.com / Amazon.ca / B&N / KOBO /

About the book: Release Date April 5, 2016

After a stunning cliffhanger ending in Forgetting August, USA Today bestselling author J.L. Berg delivers the happily ever after that fans have been waiting for in the sequel, REMEMBERING EVERLY.

He’s forgotten his past, but it hasn’t forgotten him. After losing two years of his life trapped in a coma, August Kincaid will do anything to win back the love of his life. But his past threatens to destroy his second chance at happiness, it’s Everly who is in danger of paying for his crimes.

•••••••••••••

REVIEW: REMEMBERING EVERLY is the second installment in J.L. Berg’s contemporary, adult LOST AND FOUND romantic, suspense duology focusing on August Kincaid, and Everly Adams. REMEMBERING EVERLY should not be read as a stand alone story as it picks up immediately upon the events and ‘cliffhanger’ ending of book one Forgetting August.

Told from dual first person points of view (August and Everly) using present day, and memories from the past, REMEMBERING EVERLY is the continuing story of August Kincaid and Everly Adams. Waking up from a two year coma August finds himself searching for answers-the truth-as to what happened and why. Fast forward to present day wherein August begins to recapture some of his memories, and with it the return of his past. What ensues is August’s attempt to push away the woman that he loves in order to protect her from his past, while Everly tries to get on with her life.

REMEMBERING EVERLY is a second chance romance; a story about two people who love one another but are afraid of what was, and what could be. While August begins to remember the pieces of his life, Everly finds herself pulled in another direction by a different man.

The world building continues to focus on the past as August endeavors to uncover the truth. His past is mired in secrets, lies and betrayal by the man he once considered friend and partner, and it is the process of recovering those memories that places both August and Everly in the direct line of fire.

The first two thirds of REMEMBERING EVERLY is sluggish and somewhat uneventful; it fell very short in the angst and anxiety of the cliffhanger reveal. The focus follows Everly’s preparations for her future, and August’s slide into alcohol, the recovery of his memories, and the regret about his past. The couple is apart for a large portion of the story line. The final third of the book brings Everly and August back together as they search for the truth – setting up a take down with everyone involved. I am a little skeptical and conflicted about the finals events but the book is a story of fiction and its purpose is to entertain, so I was entertained.

REMEMBERING EVERLY is a story of second chances and forgiveness; betrayal and revenge; love and a happily ever after. The premise is interesting but challenging; the characters are impulsive and passionate; the romance is lost to the struggles with the past; the happily ever after reveals a bit of a surprise. If you read FORGETTING AUGUST, you must definitely read REMEMBERING EVERLY to discover the truth about the past.

I’m a California native, who lives in the South – Virginia to be exact. I still prefer sushi to fried chicken, avocados to okra, and I absolutely loathe humidity. I do love watching the seasons change though. My husband and I have been here for ten years, and I still get giddy like a school girl every time it snows.

I’m married to my high school sweetheart. We were married young, barely out of high school. Everyone told us we were crazy and stupid. We’ll be celebrating 12 years of marriage this year, and I love him more every single day. We’re living proof that true love knows no age limit.

We’ve been blessed with two beautiful daughters who continue to amaze and inspire me, and are probably making me go a bit insane. I’m obsessed with yoga and pilates and am a complete chocoholic. I apologize in advance for the amount of sweets in my book.

I’m absolutely obsessed with romance novels (duh) and probably could have built a vacation home with the amount of money I’ve invested in them over the years. Romance novels take you to another place, making your heart race, emotions swell, passion run free. After so many years of meeting hundreds of fictional characters and discovering their worlds, I found myself creating my own.

FORGETTING AUGUST (Lost and Found #1) by J.L. Berg-a review

 

Amazon.com / Amazon.ca / B&N / KOBO / BAM

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date December 1, 2015

She can forgive, but can she forget?

Some days, Everly still thinks she sees him. In the food court at the mall, or in a car speeding past as the light changes. It only lasts a second, but when it happens, she slips back to a time when she was ruled-and nearly ruined-by August Kincaid. And it doesn’t matter that she’s moved on, that she’s about to marry another man. In those moments the only thing she can do to regain control is take a deep breath and remind herself that August can’t hurt her-because he’s in a coma. Except that he’s not anymore.

August is awake. With no memories, he sets out to solve the mystery of his lost life. He unearths a photograph of a beautiful redhead named Everly and knows instinctively that she’s the key. But when he finds her, the August she describes is more monster than man.

Tortured by the thought of having hurt her, August wants only to become the man Everly deserves. As the new August emerges, Everly glimpses the person she first fell in love with. But can she trust that this August is real? When the final secret of their shared past is revealed, one of them will make a choice that changes their future forever .

••••••••••

REVIEW: FORGETTING AUGUST is the first installment in J. L. Berg’s LOST AND FOUND romantic, suspense duology focusing on August Kincaid, and Everly Adams.

Told from dual first person points of view (Everly and August) FORGETTING AUGUST focuses on the days and weeks following August’s ‘awakening’ after a twoyear coma. With no memories of the past or how he ended up in the hospital, August Kincaid begins to search for truth. Everly Adams is someone from his past; a woman who despises the ground upon which August walks; and the only person who is able to shed any light upon what has happened and how his life came to be. What ensues is August’s slow seduction of the woman he once loved-the problem-Everly is now engaged to another man, and wants nothing to do with August or his previous life.

FORGETTING AUGUST is a story of mystery, suspense, deceit and second chances. If memories are what makes up our past perhaps it is best that August’s memories remain stored and broken. J. L. Berg pulls the reader into a world of forgotten facts, information and experiences, such that even our heroine refuses to address the reality of what happened and why. Like August, we are oblivious to the how and why; to August’s spiral into the abyss; and Everly’s unwillingness to reveal the truth. FORGETTING AUGUST ends on a cliff hanger where a surprising twist in the storyline is revealed that will change the direction of August’s recovery and recapture of the past.
