Review
The Lost One is Liz Lovelock’s debut novel. This was an amazing debut and 5 stars are not nearly enough to show how much I loved it. If her next books are anything like this one, she has a very bright future ahead as an author.
The book grabbed me from the very first chapter and wouldn’t let me go. I found myself neglecting all my household duties I had planned for the day (luckily it was my day off from work) as well as everyone that was around me. Corban was dreamy and insanely sexy. The attraction between Melodi and Corban was hot but I felt like it didn’t have enough sex for my liking.
Whoa that ending, I honestly wasn’t expecting that to happen and it kind of blindsided me for a little bit. I would honestly sell my soul to get the next book, like right now. Ok, maybe my soul is a little drastic so how about my first born? In all honesty this is one book EVERYONE must read and I do mean EVEYONE. See all the capital letters, I’m insanely serious. So stop debating whether or not to read it and just read it. You will NOT be disappointed.
The book starts off and we are immediately thrown into the disappearance/murder of Melodi’s sister Abby. Melodi and her family believe that Abby’s abusive boyfriend murdered Abby because she was going to leave him. Unfortunately, they don’t have enough evidence to convict him and he is found not guilty. Devastated that she lost not only her twin sister but her best friend, it leaves a feeling of regret over Melodi because she feel as though she should’ve did more to help her sister out.
Melodi moves to New York 3 years later for a job interview and tries to put everything that happened in the past and move on with her life. One night on the town with her new friend Flick, she meets a handsome stranger. The chemistry and attraction is there from the minute she falls into Corban’s arms accidently, of course. It seems like fate has thrown her into the sight of this sexy man and he wants her badly. The only catch is that Corban turns out to be her boss.
Where do they go from there? Well, what are you still reading my review for? Go read it for yourself and find out.

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.
