LOST IN YOU returns readers to Petal, Georgia where Joe
Harris has returned to take care of his ailing father. Far
more sombre in tone because of its delicate conflict, this
book held my interest from beginning to finish. Joe's
problem dealing with his father interested me a lot.
It fell right into my studies with psychology so I was very
interested to see how Joe and his family would handle this
together. It definitely tugged on the heartstrings and
brought forth so much depth and heart to the story. And
since it deals with very real issues that evoke a lot of
emotions, it only made the characters feel more realistic.
The series very much centres on family and I LOVE THIS
because it creates such a close knit group of people,
displaying
different types of love other than the romantic lead we
usually find in beloved romance novels. Family and
friendships definitely make this series stand out. Lauren
Dane weaves together a touching story filled with moments
of silliness and happiness and also loving displays of
affection as well.
I've come to expect the presence of a headstrong heroine in
each of her novels and Beth Murphy is definitely one of my
favorites. I loved the way she was so upfront about her
wants and how she seemed to understand Joe in a way that
others didn't.
I read LOST IN YOU so quickly that I now wished I had taken
my time with it the first time. Wholly engrossing with
everything I love in a contemporary romance, I think I will
find myself reaching for this book again and again for a
reread.
SUMMARY
It hasn’t been easy for Joe Harris to live down his not-so-
honorable past, but the military made him a better man. He’s
determined to make up for past mistakes, starting with
coming home to care for his ailing father. Things are going as planned until his best friend’s little
sister comes barreling into his life. Funny, quick talking,
smart, beautiful, she’s a temptation he tries—and fails—to
resist. When Beth Murphy hears Joe is back in town, she makes sure
she’s the first on his welcoming committee. Though he tries
to pretend he’s gruff and unworthy of her, she sees the man
who spoils his dog, who touches her like she’s precious.
Cherished. But there’s one wall she can’t break down—the
truth about what’s happening at home. On the night the nature of his father’s illness becomes
painfully, publicly apparent, Joe does the right thing—push
Beth as far away as possible. But if he thought she’d go
away quietly, he’s about to learn she’s made of sterner
stuff. Warning: Slow-talking, sexy mechanic with a drawl, looking
to get a Murphy right out of her underpants. Quick-talking
woman who knows what she wants and has a weak spot for the
aforementioned slow-talking mechanic and his dancing dog.
Bad words. Polly Chase behind the wheel again.
