Review: Lost in Between (Finding Me, #1) by K.L. Kreig (Goodreads Author)

Lost in Between by K.L. Kreig
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Lost in Between the 1st book in Finding Me Duet, is the second book by K L Kreig that I've read. The first one, Black Swan Affair was not one of my favourites, so I was hoping that this one would surprise me.

Surprised me it did...in such a good good way!!

We all have one.
A price.
That magic number that will get us to agree to do anything, be anything.
Don’t sit on your gold-plated high horse and say you don’t because you do. Everyone does. Each of us has something we covet enough that we’d sell ourselves to have it.

Shaw Mercer, Seattle billionaire playboy needs a temporary girlfriend to keep the paparazzi in line during his father's election as the city's mayor.

“Shaw’s presence is commanding, absolute. A force to be reckoned with. So, I expect him to claim, own, invade. But he doesn’t. He takes his time, imprinting me instead. Slowly branding me as promised, drawing my top lip in between his before doing the same to the bottom.”

Willow Blackwell, beautiful, smart, working two jobs to pay her mothers' medical bills. Her day job is a narrator of romance audio books (I loved that) and her other job is an escort/companion to rich men.....

“We look pretty, we adorn our clients, we dote, we mingle, we act the part we’re given, and we go home at the end of the ‘date’ a few hundred or thousand dollars richer, with our legs shut and our pride intact.”

What I liked about this book

* The two main characters. Shaw Mercer is without a doubt an alpha-male but he has a softness and kindness that shines out in the way he interacts with his family, friends and Willow. He's sexy, hot and totally interesting.

I adored Willow. There's a lot of secrets she keeps back. I found her endearing and very likeable. Her kindness and understanding truly shines out of her.

* The chemistry between Shaw and Willow - I thought the build-up was done very well....as was the development of their relationship.

* Great dialogue - witty, real and some really hot and dirty talk between the two main characters.

* Fantastic secondary characters. Liked the family dynamics and am most interest in finding out more about Noah and Sierra.

* The story is told in dual POV - Shaw and Willow's which gives you a good insight into their heads and their feelings.

* The twist at the end that leaves you with a cliff-hanger of note.

This was such a great book and I can't wait for the next book to discover more about Willow and where she and Shaw go from here.

My favourite quote:

‘It takes a special girl to open a boy’s eyes to what’s right in front of him, Willow. But when he realizes it, he’ll fight to the death for her and only her. Don’t settle until you find that man.’
