After a betrayal she never saw coming, Luciana Stevens moves to New York City to carve out a new life for herself, starting with her first semester at NYU. She quickly learns her roommate is the very wealthy Sam Renault, whose father owns one of the most powerful financial firms in the world.
Introduced to a world that she never knew existed, full of glamor and unlimited perks, sexy A-list actor, Jax, ignites her interest from the moment they meet.
As she lets go of her heartbreaking past, she opens herself up to a world of passion and love she never expected as Jax treats her the way she's never been-- like a goddess. But after an unexpected and dangerous turn of events, along with the blossoming of an unlikely friendship, Lucy will be forced to re-evaluate her love life... forever.
This book has everything that I love! The raw passion to the butterflies of a first kiss, the star athlete, the hottie actor, and the beautiful and strong women they love and protect.
Sieving was so good with her words that I felt the emotions of Lucy. I experienced her highs and lows. Even found myself with tears one minute and laughing out loud the next….and of course great dreams that night!
Easy read with great detail to really paint the picture of each scene.
A new author to follow for sure! Sooo looking forward to the next book in this sexy series!
Absolutely amazing! There's nothing better than a book you don't want to put down! I absolutely fell in love with each of the characters. The story is about a girl named Lucy who struggles with her past when considering her future, realizing over time that both can come together in a way they are better meant to be. The only think missing is the ability to pick up the next book in this series! I cannot wait! Highly recommended!
Such an awesome read. I fell in love with all the characters right from the start. At the beginning, Lucy, the main character, must overcome a breakup with the guy she's loved since she was young. This is her story of going after her dreams and finding out that love can be lost but never forgotten. Can't wait for the next book.
This was a heart wrenching story about pain, loss, love, friendship, kidnapping, jealousy and so much more! It was a fabulous book from start to finish! It gripped me and had me finish it in all one sitting!
Lucy is very much in love with her boyfriend, Chase! However, something happens and things change and she feels betrayed without finding out the facts. She goes to NYC to get her degree and makes some remarkable friends. She meets Sam and she opens her up and gets her to be happy again! She also meets the hunky Jax and is instantly attracted to him. He makes her feel things she hasn't in a long time! While everything is going well for them her past comes back and makes her question things.
Jax has some painful things in his life and doesn't open up to many people; but he trusts Lucy and enjoys her company. She makes him feel things that he too hasn't felt in a long time! But despite that can his and her past allow for anything more?
Chase is sad and upset about the last 4 years and surprised to see Lucy again and still has feelings for her... cares about her and then saves her from something horrible happening. What is happening between them? Is it past feelings or current ones?
I loved Jax! He was so damn sweet, caring and loving towards Lucy! He made me swoon! He was a wonderful wonderful man to her! I loved how he looked at her and the comments he would say to her.. " Your striking. You take my breath away."
I loved Lucy. I felt for her and sympathized with her. Yet, at times I was upset with her reasoning on somethings but so happy how things worked out for her. She was blessed to have wonderful friends and two loving men in her life.
Chase -I loved him too. He was her first love and he loved her with everything he had. He was upset and very angry when she left him 4 years ago, but their friendship blooms again and it is wonderful to see him save her, interact with her and so much more! He was a wonderful man to her.
This book was so touching, made my cry, happy, sympathize, understand and feel for all the characters! It was a touching story between friends, lovers, family and more!
I loved the book! I enjoyed how it ended and am now looking forward to the next book in the series! Well done!!
* Received a copy of this book by the author for an honest review*
This book was amazing. There are twists and turns that keep you interested the whole way. Stories within stories yet they are not confusing; they all compliment each other and are needed for this to come full circle.
Luciana is “betrayed” by her one and only. What is she to do to get answers? Ask questions? No of course not. She runs and lives the next four years of her life just going through the motions. She lived an eventful life but never completely fulfilled. This will take you on a HOT journey filled with hot men of Lucy’s present and HOT men of her past and a couple of crazies looking to cause harm. She’s torn between her past and present. Things are thrown out there for her to take all in. Secrets are told and lives are changed. This is a great story of humbleness showing that you should always get the facts before you walk away. In the end all is played out as it should. I’m looking forward to more from this crew. They should be some interesting tales.
This book was full of surprises. When I first started reading, I wasn’t expecting the suspense or the way things turned out. However, it was all for the better. It kept me on the edge of my seat and easily held my attention until the very end. The characters were well written and the story line was well laid out with plenty of twists, turns, and some downright hot scenes.
Without going into any spoilers, I’d like to mention that all the men involved are sexy as hell. Chase is a baseball player that she dated in high school and reconnects with him after college. Jax is a famous movie star that she meets through her best friend Sam. There is all kinds of history but everyone has a great personality and I felt like they were all genuine people. Even the secondary characters (like the security guys and Sam’s parents) were also really great.
The events that happen and relationships that develop and change make this a unique story and I really liked it. I look forward to reading more from this series. Great job and a 4 out of 5 stars!
Oi vey, where do I start with this one....well I picked the wrong guy to route for, that's for sure. T.L. Sieving did a great job with her debut novel and I'm anxious to read more from this series.
Lucy thought she always knew what she wanted, until one night everything changed. Instead of confronting the situation she took on a new approach and moved on to a new life. Even though she misses what she could've had, she is kept in good hands by her best friends and the hot and sexy Jax.
Chase is the best friend, the boyfriend and the one that was almost lost. As time goes on all wounds heal, but the pain of the one you loved is never forgotten. As a major league baseball player, Chase can have his choice of woman, but who is it that he wants to have as his forever love?
Lucy and Chase moved on with their lives, but with the lack of communication, the distance and the pain of the past keep them apart forever??? Read to find out more ;)
This is an impressive debut novel from T.L. Sieving and the first book in the Almost Lost, Never Forgotten series. Almost Lost has a little bit of everything: love, loyalty, friendship, drama, angst, a love triangle, hot scenes and the possibility of a second chance at love. After a betrayal, Lucy heads to New York to start her life all over again, meeting new friends and being introduced to a world that is far beyond her ordinary experience. She establishes strong friendships with Sam and Ana, as well as being introduced to the glorious Jax. As Lucy begins to heal, she encounters the ex-love of her life, Chase. There were plenty of twists and turns in this novel to keep fans of this genre engaged.
