This is what I look for in Lexi Blake’s stories—the hidden wisdom (an Easter egg if you will)—spoken through the character, but meant for the reader. Sighs.
Lost in You is the third installment of Lexi Blake’s The Forgotten series and focuses on Lost Boy Robert McClellan and the love story between him and psychotherapist Ariel Adisa. As with all of the books in this series, it is not a standalone. Any reader new to the series is well advised to read (at the very least) the two prior The Forgotten novels. I’ve read all of Lexi’s fabulous Masters & Mercenaries series, and even with all that, it took me a good thirty percent of the book before I could settle in and just read the story. And this story is one great ride!
Both Robert and Ariel are well-written—the reader gets into their heads quickly. The story is full of action and packed with some serious espionage thrill. Characters from Dallas and London return to aid Robert and Adisa, and finally, one huge secret is revealed (my lips are sealed). My only disappointment is the way it ended—without spoiling, let me say that I felt there was more to Robert’s story that should have played out in this book.
Lexi Blake fans will love this installment. I certainly did.
