Lost for You
NO LONGER PUBLISHED
**Lost in Distraction (Lost, #1) MUST be read before Lost For You.**
What would you do if you were told that everything you had ever believed in and everything you had ever known, was a lie?
Elle’s life is altered forever after an unexpected phone call and an unwelcome visitor. Trying to put her life back together, Brax’s last words continue to echo through her mind. Why she is being followed and why is she suddenly in danger? The fact that Brax knew about it all and still left her alone, breaks her fragile heart all over again.
Brax will never forgive himself for leaving Elle at a time when she needed him the most, even if he believed it was the only way to protect her. As he makes his way back to her life, he is determined to win her back, regain her trust and help rebuild her for the second time. His return proves he is the same man, yet Elle sees in his eyes a haunted look she knows all too well.
When a confession leaves Elle reeling, her entire life unravels around her. She begins to understand that the people she trusts the most have put her in grave danger and the people who have been protecting her actually want to cause her harm.
Elle soon discovers that the old adage is true, you have to become lost before you can be found.

Apparently this author has a thing for endings! WOAH WOAH WOAH! *head spinning*
After the MASSIVE mother of a cliffhanger at the end of Lost in Distraction, I could not wait for this book. I had major grabby hands and just HAD to know what happened next.
Since this is a romantic suspense novel with a lot going on and plenty of unanswered questions from the previous book, I want to keep this review fairly vague to avoid any spoilers for this book or for Lost in Distraction.
Lost For You picks up immediately where Lost in Distraction leaves off and although there was a HUGE event at the end of LID that involves Ellie being in a pretty crazy/bad/scary situation it’s definitely adressed very early on. But, then there are so many other facets of the story that are gradually cleared up and addressed as the story progresses. What I love about this book and series is that it’s so multi layered. When one issue is resolved or seems to be resolved, there’s more. It’s deeper than what it may seem at first.
This book still centers on Ellie’s safety being in jeopardy and trying to uncover who is trying to hurt her. Brax and Shay, his best friend (love, love, love him) are doing everything they can to keep her safe while juggling mass amounts of obstacles. There are some majorly creeptastic moments that gave me goosies and made me double check that my doors were locked and secure. As I said above, there are so many mysteries and unanswered questions throughout the book that I was constantly suspicious. I was suspicious over things I should not have been suspicious about! I was questioning anything and everything, coming up with conspiracy theories and trying to uncover all the secrets and I loved every second of it.
During all the suspense and drama, there is a still a lot of romance. If you’ve read Lost in Distraction, you know Brax can bring on the swoon something fierce and that was no different here. Brax and Ellie have a very intense connection and it definitely continues in this. The steamy, sexy moments were hot and well done and I loved every moment of them together.
Every minor issue that I had with Lost in Distraction was completely remedied in Lost For You. The writing was smoother and more solid. The dialogue was spot on. The relationships progressed in a natural and great way. The mystery was well thought out and kept me guessing. The punches keep on coming until the very last page and I never knew what was going to happen next. There are still some events that I cannot believe happened. Things I NEVER saw coming! I think I am probably still in shock over a few of them. If you’ve read this, you know EXACTLY what I am referring to! OH. MY. GOD!
I am so impressed by this book and the emotion BJ Harvey was able to get out of me. I was nervous, anxious, excited, happy, swooning (is that an emotion?), giddy, devastated and so much more. It’s a suspenseful, sexy, action packed, emotional roller coaster of awesome that I didn’t want to get off!
“I thought I’d lost you. That I’d never get to hold you, kiss you, love you again,”
4.5 stars!

Lost For You – BJ Harvey
4 stars!!
This is the second book in the series, so you need to have read Lost In Distraction first. This book is going to be difficult to review without giving too much of the story away, so I will proceed with caution…I am sorry if I am a bit vague…but needs must and all that and I really do not want to spoil it for you all.
This book starts where Lost In Distraction finished. Elise and Brax are still separated due to him being called off the job under the pretence that it is to keep her safe. Brax soon realises he has been played and is plotting with his boss a way to get back to her without alerting the mole in the camp. If you can remember in Lost In Distraction we were left with the holy mother of all cliff hangers of Elise realising she had been shot… and it continues… Shay comes to the rescue, incapacitates the shooter or so he thinks and then gets to Elise, but she is severely injured, it is now a race against time to get her the treatment she needs… Shay goes to call the police and when he turns the shooter has gone!
Brax is frantic after hearing what has happened and needs to get to Elise as soon as possible, but he needs to do covertly so as not to alert the mole, he goes to the only person he knows who could possibly help and that is his brother Devon…more hotness into the story ladies!! They get to Elise and it is touch and go…but Brax does not leave her side. It is during this time of reflection that Brax realises he needs to come clean to Elise about how they met, although his feelings are 100% real, it is eating him up inside and needs Elise to know the truth, he does not want anything to come between them and what he hopes will be a happily ever after. He needs Elise to breathe for both herself and him, he needs her more than life itself and he needs her to know.
Throughout this book there are a lot of twists and turns, but they are integral to the story so I cannot discuss at all without giving away huge spoilers so I am totally restricted as to what I can say. All I can say is that Brax does tell the truth, it takes Elise a while but once she has digested, she comes around. The threats against her are still unknown, they all keep coming out of the woodwork and once one is subdued another comes to the forefront, can this girl ever catch a break.
This book is a lot more angsty, the dialogue is a lot more heartfelt, we see a totally different side to Brax and he is just totally adorable…you cannot help but fall in love with him. Elise really grows in this book, gone is the weak, timid, damaged girl, but she comes out a fighter and during times that secrets are revealed she is often the pillar for Brax.
A lot does happen in this book, and it has not been overdone but it is a major part of this story. There are some really devastating things that happen so do be prepared, but I will say that this instalment totally wraps the series up nicely, all the stones have been turned and the questions from Lost In Distraction have been answered.
I am a sucker for an epilogue and this epilogue was truly the best! I am so glad it was there else I would have been screaming for another book!
This book, also has two marriage propositions, both were soooooooo good and on that note I’ll leave you with a teaser…
“Marry Me,” he whispers against my lips. My whole body stills. Of all the things he could have said in this moment, that was way down the list of possibilities. My eyes well up at the enormity of what he’s just said. “I thought you’d never ask,” I say, bringing my hand down his cheek and trailing my tongue along his bottom lip. He laughs again, the smile never leaving his face. “Is that a yes?” I clear my throat, my tears of happiness choking me up. “Yes,” I say softly. “yes.” Kiss. “Yes.” Kiss. “ye-“
Loved it, cannot wait to see what BJ Harvey has in store for us next.

I think this is the hardest review I have ever had to write, but not because I didn’t like it. I thought it was awesome, absolutely amazing, freaking fantastic and the best book I’ve read so far this year!
I cannot express just how much I loved this book. When I finished it (a record time for me) I sat in my chair for a while because no book/characters/writing has moved me to such an extent. I could not read another book until the next day and I’m the sort of person who normally finishes a book and starts the next one almost immediately.
Lost For You is the continuation and conclusion to the story of Elle and Brax which was started in Lost in Distraction and I was fortunate enough to read the ARC before it its release date. I loved Lost in Distraction, but Lost For You eclipsed it.
To tell the truth, I didn’t think Lost For You could live up to the high standards B J Harvey set in the first book but, like the first book, Lost For You started slowly but then built up its momentum like an out-of-control freight train until it reached its climax. I may or may not have sent a few ‘choice’ words to B J Harvey when I reached this stage. Also I was very happy to see that there was an epilogue which was the ‘cream on a sumptuous dessert’.
If you don’t like a book that transports you to another place, that makes you feel every emotion possible, this is NOT the book for you. BUT if you like all these things, as well as a guy who has you drooling and suspense that has you turning the pages at record speed, then this THE book you have to read.
I really wish I could give Lost For You more than five stars, but if I have to restrict myself to five, then you can be sure these are biggest, fattest, brightest stars you have ever seen.

Holy Freakin Cow Batman! OMG! I had another freakin' heart attack! Not to long ago I was approached about reviewing Lost in Distraction ... little did I know what I was in for... I mean I was on a roller coaster ride from the get go... totally sucked into the characters, plot, schemes, mystery, suspense, romance, lies, and anything else that could be thrown at me!... Needless to say, that I was at a total loss when Lost for You wasn't out yet!
Again, Lost for You, Book #2 was exactly what I been expected on the intense level. I was on the edge of my seat the entire time, all the loose ends came together, a few shockers -& I mean a few so be prepared! I fell in love with all the characters all over again.
I have to say that there is one part of the story that totally had me in the story.. and most people will be like really? WTH? ... My fav part or let me say the part that is most vivid is when Brax is traveling from Atlanta to Charlotte... he seriously drove past my exit on I-85! :) I can totally see him in that 18-wheeler!!!
On a more serious note, there were points in the story that had me about to cry, beat the hell outta some folks, say awww that's so sweet, feel a loss for someone very special, and at some points I felt like I had been ran over by a train cause I didn't see that coming!
I honestly can't wait for Lost #3, Shays story! I absolutely loved him in Lost #1 & #2... without Shay, Brax has no partner... and he plays a minor roll but yet a major roll at the same time!

ARC provided by author for an honest review & because B.J. Harvey is the cool side of the pillow.
If you have not read Lost in Distraction please proceed with caution, as there might be things in this review that were revealed in the first book. This is going to be one of those books that is hard to review because there are just so many twists and turns that really matter to the story that even revealing a sliver of detail gives too much away.
Lost For You starts off just where Lost in Distraction ends. Brax has left Elise's side because he believed it was the best way to keep her safe. But just as Brax has realized that he was led astray and makes contact with his girl - a gun shot is heard (and if that is how you are left hanging in book one - but luckily for us this is a two book series...that means no more cliffhangers!!!).
As Brax finds his way to be back by Elise's side, the girl that he fell in love with instantly - he is faced with the reality that although he honestly fell in love with her, there are too many secrets between them. He has to come clean with her and explain how he just so happen to cross her path. And at the same time continue to protect her from the unknown danger and show her that even though he was hired to protect her - he fell in love with her.
Brax is the hired help - security. Working for a man that may have some legal business transactions, but he is not completely on the up and up. But one look at the girl in the file has convinced him that not only will he protect her - he will breathe life into those haunted eyes.
Elise has lost everything when her family was taken. Now a college student who is waiting for the day to take over the company her father started. But there are others who want the control, power and money that will come along with the company. And this has placed Elise in danger.
But with no clear leads and too many possibilities, immobilizing the threat is not as easy as it seems. As Brax, Shay and the newest edition to the clan Devon (you'll like him) try to sort out just who is pulling the strings - they unravel far more secrets than they expected.
But Lost For You is not just filled with suspenseful moments. The love story that has developed between Brax and Elise continues, with their fair share of obstacles to overcome and several sexy encounters shared between them. I had a somewhat difficult time connecting to Elise in the first book, but seeing as her emotional side was on more of a display in the second book, that connection emerged. And of course I think we all knew that we were over the moon for Brax from the start. Elise's character showed a raw vulnerability that I missed in book one. She seemed to have realized what she wanted and was willing to fight for it; she grew stronger. And for me that is the best way to find that connection. I can deal with a little bit of weakness as long as the character is able to overcome it; Elise did.
Now along with the suspense and romance there were some low points. These are better found out by reading the book yourself (my lips are sealed). But what I can say is that these moments are worked into the story perfectly. There weren't lows just for the sake of drama, these moments made sense and made the story for me. Some serious touching moments take place and some completely unexpected twists occur along the way that propelled this story beyond what it was set out to be.
The Lost duet series is a must read for fans of a great love story that has a suspenseful twist. It is not erotica so the sex is not overly steamy and the dialogue is kept at a respectful level. But that doesn't mean there are not moments where these two let go with each other. The calm and the storm of intimacy and lust play out between these two very nicely.
I look forward to reading the other stories that this author creates and to continue to watch her grow in her craft. I have high hopes for Temporary Bliss due out in September of 2013 and all of her future creations!

This review is hard to write since there are so many things to give away and I do not want to post spoilers. If you have not read Lost in Distraction, stop reading this review now. And do not read this second book without reading Lost in Distraction first.
This book starts right at the big cliffhanger Lost In Distraction after the shot rang off. It takes us through recovery, the baring of secrets, and trying to put back together a relationship after lies and leaving. It is not a quick and easy process after the secrets are revealed. But Jax will stop at nothing to prove the sincerity of his love for Elle and keep her safe. And some things are worth fighting for.
"I'm not going anywhere. I'm here to stay. It's you and me against the word now, hon...You're my today, tomorrow and my forever if you'll still have me."
I need Brax in my life. I can't contemplate a future without him in it. He is the sunlight to my perpetual darkness. I'm determined to fight for him and to hell with the consequences. I'm stronger with Brax by my side than I'll ever be alone.
And his best friend/partner Shay and his long lost brother Devon are there to back the 100%. I loved Shay in the first book and even more so in this one. His the perfect friend and support despite being broken by his tragic past and he will do anything to protect Elle and Brax. Devon added more dimension to their merry band of protectors and I really liked him too.
There are multiple bad factions working against them causing danger and life threatening situations. Seriously I almost needed a list so I could keep them all straight and how they were intertwined. Skeletons from their pasts continue to be exposed and there are surprising revelations and connections. There are many twists and turns that rock their world. Danger lurks around every corner and it is a constant state of tension and intrigue. Every time they think that they eliminated the threat and can relax, something else happens to put them back on high alert. I will admit there were times I was frustrated when the characters made what I thought were dumb or uncharacteristic choices, but I can see the necessity to build up more drama. And it all comes down to a seriously pulse pounding climax that literally had me screaming at my kindle! Yes, it really did!
This book was a wild ride through a web of lies, mystery, danger, and secrets. But through it all Brax and Elle became stronger and deeper in their commitment. Despite the way their story began, I always believed in them as a couple. Their chemistry, their rapport, their deep feelings, and their functional relationship in the midst of chaos kept them anchored. So there was sweetness amongst the intrigue and tragedy.
There will be an upcoming novella in this series featuring Shay titled Lost Without You and will shed more light into situations alluded to in this book. I will be reading it for sure because I have already established what a fan of Shay I am. If you liked Lost In Distraction, I do not think you will be disappointed in the conclusion of Elle and Brax's story.
Thanks to BJ Harvey for providing me an ARC in exchange for an honest review. Will be posted at Reviews by Tammy and Kim.
This book starts right at the big cliffhanger Lost In Distraction after the shot rang off. It takes us through recovery, the baring of secrets, and trying to put back together a relationship after lies and leaving. It is not a quick and easy process after the secrets are revealed. But Jax will stop at nothing to prove the sincerity of his love for Elle and keep her safe. And some things are worth fighting for.
"I'm not going anywhere. I'm here to stay. It's you and me against the word now, hon...You're my today, tomorrow and my forever if you'll still have me."
I need Brax in my life. I can't contemplate a future without him in it. He is the sunlight to my perpetual darkness. I'm determined to fight for him and to hell with the consequences. I'm stronger with Brax by my side than I'll ever be alone.
And his best friend/partner Shay and his long lost brother Devon are there to back the 100%. I loved Shay in the first book and even more so in this one. His the perfect friend and support despite being broken by his tragic past and he will do anything to protect Elle and Brax. Devon added more dimension to their merry band of protectors and I really liked him too.

Okay the very first thing i'm going to say is MOTHER FUCKING FUCK! Now that we have that out of the way I want to point out that I literally talk to BJ Harvey every day. No joke. EVERY. DAY! She is my Kiwi soul sister. My Twin of Sin And not once did she warn or prepare me for the awesomely amazing mind fuck that I just went through. I'm having difficulty writing this review right now because I'm at a loss for words. I was definitely excited about reading the conclusion to Lost In Distraction. I did NOT expect this book to be filled with so many twists and turns. I laughed and cried. Mother fuck did I cry! I can't go any more into detail with my review without blurting out every single detail to this book but its a 5 star and more for me. If you haven't read Lost in Distraction then start there. If you have read it then you need to jump on this book NOW!

3.5stars. Struggled a bit with all the different pov's and I just felt the writing didn't flow. Maybe I have been spoilt by a few fab 5 star reads recently....just didn't feel this was up there with them. X
July 25, 2013
OMFG!!!! I have no nails left and have cried ugly tears!!! Absolutely loved from beginning to end
August 11, 2013
This conclusion to the ‘Lost’ Duet took my breath away, quite literally.! I found myself gasping for air after holding my breath on numerous occasions! There are plenty of twist and turns, revelations and hot damn smokin’ moments!! My poor brain didn’t know what was coming next! Told in multiple POVs, you get a sense of feeling from each and every character in this book and they really spring to life.
Poor Brax was made to believe he had to leave to protect his girl, breaking her heart to save her life. By the time he realises this was all a set up, it’s too late. He makes contact with her and BANG!! The minute he hears her voice on the phone, there’s a gun shot. It is written in such a way that we don't know who is hit and I couldn't read fast enough to find out! When it becomes a little clearer, my heart broke, and it was only one chapter in! The feeling of helplessness at the other end of the line after hearing the love of your life get shot, Oh My God!!
I think it’s probably fair to say you know that neither of them will be injured fatally at this point or it would be a very short book! Their road to recovery is long, both physically and emotionally. As they come to terms with what has happened, they also need to deal with the elephant in the room, which is why he left Elise in the first place. She feels let down, isolated and is wary to trust him as she still doesn’t know the full story. Brax has been trying to protect both her life, and her knowledge of the situation for fear of it taking her to the dark places that she has been before he managed to shine some light on her life.
“I thought I’d lost you. That I’d never get to hold you, kiss you, love you again,” - Brax
The torment and sense of betrayal that Elle feels is palpable, she is desperately trying to be strong, and her strengths do shine through more as the book goes on. If it were me, I would be a sobbing mess in the corner after everything her heart has been through. Brax is her light in the darkness, doing everything in his power to protect his lady and inadvertently pulling himself through the dark times too. It's fair to say that it's not just Elle that hits some lows along the way, Brax has a lot of revelations and betrayals to deal with. But they are each others strengths and it only serves to make them an army of two.
“I need Brax in my life. I can't contemplate a future without him in it. He is the sunlight to my perpetual darkness. I'm determined to fight for him and to hell with the consequences. I'm stronger with Brax by my side than I'll ever be alone - Elle”
Once Brax and Elise get back onto an even keel with their relationship, we are reminded just why these two were destined to be with each other. Brax is just the sweetest romantic guy and the steam factor goes through the roof. There isn’t loads of sex as this is not erotica, but the chemistry is undeniable and the scenes that are there are definitely erotic, sensual, beautiful and very inventive!
"What's made you so happy? Apart from my stellar bedroom performance of course?" I say clearing my throat.
She looks over at me , mouth agape Wow, someone thinks highly of themselves don't they?" She says moving toward me and wrapping her arms around my neck.
I drag my hands around her waist and cup her ass, pulling her close to me again. "I didn't hear you complain. once? was it twice? Nope it was three times," I reply, curling my lips into a shit eating grin.-Brax
Of course it’s not just Brax and Elise in this story, we still have the lovely Shay and an addition in the way of delicious Devon! All the characters are well rounded and I would love to spend an evening with the awesome foursome!
I could gush and cry about certain events all day, but it would ruin it for you! There are the most loving, beautiful moments. Moments that every girl dreams of. There are also some dark moments where you think your heart may never recover from. I'm not sure mine fully has yet. This doesn't mean that you are left with any questions, but you will find yourself sending messages to BJ Harvey saying something along the lines of...
OMG!!! I can't believe you just did that.... How could you?.... NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
Take it back!! You freaking sadist!!!!
Then you'll read the Epilogue and it will heal your hurts and make you like her again!
You will find yourself questioning everyone and everything most of the way through until you get that light bulb moment and everything falls into place. The how’s, whys and whens are all tied up in a neat little bow, leaving you satisfied that Brax and Elise might just be ok…but not before holding your breath some more and maybe shedding a tear or two (or three or four!!) !!!
BJ Harvey, you nailed it!!
A FABULOUS, if a little heartbreaking 5 Stars!!!

I don’t know what it was but I still couldn’t get too into this story following part one. In fact I was more pissed about the characters not being together as is common for many second installments that I think it made me more reticent to enjoy this.
Lost for You picks up right where the last one left off. Elle only knows that Brax has left her. She doesn’t know why or even who he really is at this point. Since Brax brought her out of her self-imposed depression it’s easy to guess that his departure thrusts her right back in, worse than before. But this time Elle has been hurt and Brax has to get to the bottom of it before he can be there for her and tell her the truth.
What I loved about Brax is how genuine he was in regards to Elle. You can tell he truly cared for her and even though he should have told her the truth he never thought life would test him in such a way. He thought he had more time. But with Elle incapacitated and hurting, Brax wants nothing more than to be with his girl and help her heal.
The truth is even Elle has no idea what’s going on in her life? Who shot her, or even why, is the number one question she is asking herself and she has no clue. Even with the ‘danger factor’ I didn’t feel the suspense, there was no nail biting, edge of the seat sitting for me. The series overall was good, however, I think it could have been shortened into one book. Maybe this is where my so-so feelings are coming from, not to mention the commonality of the plotline in general.
Overall I enjoyed both this story and Lost in Distraction. For me there was just something missing. I loved the relationship and the characters but I couldn’t get into the whole suspense aspect of it all because it just felt boring and vague to me. Not enough happens consistently to make the danger seem at all scary. I definitely recommend reading this yourself and seeing how you feel. Personally I wasn’t amazed and I really thought I would be. Certainly won’t stop looking for more from this author though.

So as luck would have it, I was able to read these books back to back and boy am I grateful for that. I am not sure I would have survived the wait for book 2 hahahaha!
This book was even better than the first. Let's be honest (as an author myself), achieving that is hard work. However, Mrs. Harvey seems to have pulled that off without even batting an eye. The intensity in this book is strong. There were many times when I couldn't stop crying or biting my nails. I swear I have no fingernails left from chewing them off.
Lost for you was so hard to put down. I read it in a few hours it was that good. The things that Elle and Brax made it through in book 1 was enough for a person for a lifetime, but it doesn't stop. No they keep coming, every bad and messed up scenario there is out there is thrown at them over the course of these 2 books. However, some how in all the horrible stuff going down there are happy times and laughable times.
I have to say that Braxton is major swoonworthy material. He is attentive, kind, sweet, lovable and damn sexy! He is a perfect match for Elle. They complete each other and save each other. You can feel their emotions as if they are you're own. I love it when an author can pull that off. BJ Harvey not only pulled it off, but soared with it. I think that is what made these books so good. It was the fact that you weren't just watching them, but feeling with them. It makes the story more life-like and less like something being told to you.
I love the different points of view as well. They add so much to the story. The different POV's help you get a full picture of the story. I love stories that more real life than a story. It is the reason I love reading and writing.
If the intensity and suspense don't grab your fancy then maybe the hot and steaminess will. OH boy! There isn't much else to say about this book other than...
YOU NEED TO READ THIS BOOK!!!! You must read Lost in Distraction first though.

OMG where to start? From beginning to end the book is an emotional roller coaster.
Picking straight up from the cliffhanger in Lost In Distraction the story of Elle and Brax is continued. I won't give anything away as I think this book should be enjoyed by the reader and not spoilt by the reviewer.
However as you can guess from the book description, Elle survives the traumatic event at the end of Lost In Distraction (otherwise it would be just Brax's story).
From page 1 be prepared to shut out the world, have enough caffeine, food/snacks and all other essentials (tissues included) close to hand because I swear you will not want to put it down.
There are more highs and lows than on an ECG and more twists and turns than a roller coaster.
Brax and Shay continue to try and provide protection to Elle from the danger she is in. However this is not made easy for them and when all is finally unearthed, you will no doubt be shocked at all the revelations! Brax and Elle still have a strong attraction and connection to each other in more ways than one!
This book is well worth the read and in my opinion a reread! It is not often that I keep a book to reread but this one (along with Lost In Distraction) are permanent fixtures on my tablet!
Since I finished the book I haven't wanted to read another book as the story is so vibrant, the characters were brought to life and every emotion could be felt like you were witnessing every scenario first hand. Not something I experience very often, but when I do I know I have read something exceptional.
If you like romantic suspense novels I highly recommend this author and this series.

I desperately want to tell you all the juicy details that made this book so fantastic but I am trying not to give out any spoilers. This is definitely one of those that left me with a book hangover. I found myself thinking about it for hours after I was finished reading.
The mystery continues to unfold in this exciting conclusion to Elle and Brax’s story. All of those unanswered questions from Lost In Distraction are finally answered and you find out a lot of really interesting information about both of them and the people that surround them. I had several *gasp* moments throughout the book.
Just like the first book, it keeps you on your toes. Every time I read something and got a little more info something else would happen or more pieces of the puzzle would click into place. There was never a dull moment in the book or a spot where I felt like it was dragging. It flowed nicely and I felt emotions along with the characters. It really makes a great book when you are so immersed in the story that you feel happy for the good guys and want to pummel the bad guys.
Brax is as sexy as ever and does not disappoint. He is protective, loyal, and you get to see more of his mad skills this time around. All our favorite secondary characters are back (even the ones we love to hate) and a new character is introduced that helps answer more questions along with helping Brax and Elle.
I really enjoyed this book and can’t wait to read Lost Without You (Shay’s Novella).

After reading Lost in Distraction I was left with a terrible feeling that this book would not be an HEA. I was terrified when I started reading it, I held my breathe through the first four chapters. I thought the level of anxiety I was feeling was going to kill me. I didn't want anything bad to happen to Elle, I immediately liked her in LID. I thought she was a fighter and saw her fighting for Brax and herself in this book. I was not let down. Chapter 5 is where you start to breathe again, but not for long. There are people out there who want to kill Elle, and Brax will stop at nothing to keep her safe.
My favorite line from the book is from Brax, "Hey, you gotta take it easy. I'm not leaving you again. Ever. You're my today, tomorrow and my forever if you'll still have me." *Tear* I love Brax and his sweetness. He isn't written as your typical domineering alpha male and that's what I liked about him.
This book is filled with tension, just when you think you've figured out who is stalking Elle, Bam!! Wrong again. There was a point when I thought I figured out where the story was going and yup, I was right. That one revelation was a shocker.
While reading this book you will be happy, shocked and ugly crying if you are like me. I can't wait to read the novella that BJ is working on for Shay. She gave us snippets about his past and I'm dying to find out more about him. I give this book 4 Stars!

I'm still speechless.
I had so much things to say towards the end of the book until 96 percent where one thing changed everything.
The thing about this book is, you can never be sure and didn't see it coming. You would guess what's going to happened but it will come as surprise as to when and how. I'm normally not into thriller or suspense romance but I promised the author to read it and so here I am.
The second book is better than the first in my opinion especially because I know the characters better. She definitely knew how to write and I get to love Shay as much as Brax. Together with Devin they're like the three musketeers.
Elle, though she's not annoying.. I was hoping slightly more from her and to have more strength in her to pull more strings. She seem smart and capable woman and with everything at her disposal, there's plenty that she could have done without depending too much on Brax. But anyway that's just me.
Brax was perfect. Enough said.
This story has a lot of angst and suspense keeping you guessing. It's written from different POV but easy to follow and a lot of interesting connections to the story.
Overall 4 - 4.5 stars for me,
I wish the ending was different but its a great epilogue for the wrap.

I could not wait to get this book on my Kindle. I LOVED this book. I LOVED this series & I am so glad that I found B.J. Harvey!
This book pretty much where Lost In Distraction leaves off. Lost For You pulls you in right from the start. There is suspense, redemption (on Brax's & a little bit on Evan's part), undeniable bonds of friendship, love, hot sex, tears... I could go on & on here. What I loved about this book, is that everyone was rooting for Elle & Brax to keep it together to get their happily ever after, even with all the threats to Elle & those nearest to her. I loved how these people put those they love before themselves. Not only is this book about Brax & Elle's love for each other, it's also about sacrifice.
This book will have you smiling screaming, crying...it will put you through the emotional ringer by the end.
I am so sorry that this is the end of the story for Brax & Elle...but this is one series of books that I will be reading again!!

If you liked Lost In Distraction you'll LOVE Lost For You! This book has MORE suspense, MORE excitement, many many answers and an ending!
I must admit I was a little bitter when the first book in the series ended with a major cliffhanger, but this book dives straight into that moment and kicks off with a BANG! Literally... It starts off with a bang! Haha. From that moment on it was all go-go-go and never a full moment, with a few tears along the way, right through to the end of the epilogue, which I LOVED also.
Thank you for a great read and for providing so many answers which I could never have predicted.

Damn, damn, damn

Love it!! It started a little slow for me, but while I was reading I became to enjoy all the characters and all the POV each one had. By the end, I wanted so badly to know all the secrets and I never saw it coming of who, even though the why was explained way before. I ended crying so bad (btw, I was at my work place at lunch and everyone started asking me what was wrong, when I told them about the book they just made the "oh, she's crazy" face, lol) and it took me by surprise. i can't wait for Shay's book!

Wow. I was recommended by a friend to read Lost in Distraction and I was so pleased I did especially when I only had to wait 2 days for Lost for You to come out. I could NOT put this book down - I loved it from the beginning to the end, even though I cried really ugly tears and felt I had a bit of a book hangover from the ending. I loved all the characters and the snipets of thier backrounds, especially Shay & Devon and cant wait to read more about them. Being a fellow New Zealander, I am so proud of what BJ Harvey has written and cant wait to read more of her books.

I bought Lost in Distraction and Lost for You three days ago and just read them both. OMG!! Awesome, incredible, heart warming story/series and great characters. I couldn`t put it down, until I read them both I shed a tear at the end, really didn`t expect it, but the epilogue was beautiful Thank you for writing this incredible series and will definitely recommend it to my friends. Can`t wait to read some more of your work.

This series was so dramatic. But in a good way. There was definitely romance and a wonderful love story. But the suspense really made this book for me. I like a book that keeps me on my toes. And this one threw me for some loops. Yet it put a smile on my face at times then brought me to tears another. Great series!

Blog tour review to come... but I'm still rendered quite speechless... B.J. has outdone herself and created one hell of a follow up to the first book... Hopefully by Sunday I'll be coherent enough to write my review...
