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.
