BLOG TOUR :: THE LOST ONE (LOST #1) BY LIZ LOVELOCK ( REVIEW & EXCERPT & TEASERS & GIVEAWAY)




Title: The Lost One (Lost #1)
Author: Liz Lovelock
 Release Date: September 10, 2014


Synopsis   

My name is Melodi White, I had a dream once like every other girl does. Then one day, my dream was torn to shreds, by my sister’s evil boyfriend, Jacob. It’s been three years since she was ripped from my life. She wasn’t just any sister; no, she was my twin, my best friend.

Deciding to follow our childhood dream of moving to New York, I head for a life of adventure and fun. A night on the town and I find myself wrapped in the arms of one gorgeous, drop-dead-sexy man, Corban. He has literally swept me off my feet, taken my breath away with a single kiss and left me wanting more, a feeling completely alien to me.

Corban Andrews, CEO of Case Construction, rich, sexy and ravishing is set to make my world come undone. I allow myself to put my trust in him, but will his rules and my trust issues let us explore what we could have together? It’s either that or am I at risk of staying lost and alone.

When a blast from my past reappears, I know I may be pushed so far down the rabbit hole, Corban and I just may not survive. It all comes down to survival and choices. I have no idea which I will choose.






The Lost One has a good story, a remarkable one actually.

Despite the pain and heartbreak she has endured, Melodi has done everything she could to put it behind her, to move on. She has tried to and up to some point she has managed to do so. However, there’s nothing like unconditional love. It truly heals your heart and soul.

Corban is a workaholic. He has put his personal happiness behind the success of his company, behind love. He has rules and quite frankly a disciplined life. Melodi turns that to dust.

He is strong. She is heartbroken. He is sexy. She is sweet.

They really make a very beautiful couple! And a very beautiful story.

However, the book had some loopholes. Many events were hurried, specifically from the moment they met again. Their love was instant and the declaration of their love happened fast, as well. The author could have slowed it down a bit. In general, it felt like we didn’t have enough space and we tried to put as much as we could in the little space we had.

The story is really good and I enjoyed the characters. Therefore, I will read the next book, as I’m very interested to see where the story will lead us!

My point is that the story was so good that it could have been a full-length novel. It had much to tell, more than we saw.

But, a good story is a good story!

So, The Lost One (#1) gets 4 Gorgeous Stars!

Excerpt

A huge playful smile swipes across his face, which sets my chest racing. “I’m sure you will be fine. Anyway, Melodi, I would love to stay and get to know you a little better, but unfortunately, I have a meeting in about twenty minutes, which I probably shouldn’t be late for.” He reaches his hand out like he is about to shake my hand. You’re seriously not just going to shake my hand!
Surprising me for the second time, he takes my hand, placing a gentle kiss across my knuckles, and then pulls me close, pressing his lips to mine. I taste him; boy, he tastes good. It’s nothing like our kiss the other night. This is more…more sensual.
Savouring the moment, until his cologne drifting around me drives me crazy, igniting a raging fire within me. My arms wrap around his neck, pulling him closer to me. Our kiss becomes more heated.
I remember we are standing in the middle of the footpath when a car goes past blasting its horn. I’m not sure if it’s at us or something else. I slowly pull away, placing one more gentle kiss to his warm lips. Mine already ache from the loss. We stay where we are, holding each other, neither of us wanting to move.
His eyes blaze brighter; I can even see a sparkle. Leaning into me, he whispers, “Until next time, my sweet Melodi.” Feeling his breath on my cheek sends goose bumps over my entire body.
