Lost & Found #4
Losers Weepers
If we didn’t know darkness, we couldn’t fully appreciate the light.
Garth Black’s more familiar with this concept than most people are. He hadn’t just lived in the dark for the majority of his life—he thrived in it. With a mom who’d bailed on him and a dad whose understanding of coddling started and ended with a bottle of whiskey, Garth had never been expected to rise to any sort of occasion other than following down the same dead-end paths.
That changed when he fell in love with Josie Gibson. After years of pulling each other closer before shoving the other way, they finally stopped shoving. Josie’s love is like nothing Garth’s ever experienced. He holds it close. He holds it sacred. He would do anything to preserve it and keep it from pollution, even if that means removing himself from the picture.
Garth might have been allowed a temporary furlough to bask in the light, but that pass has been revoked, and he’s been swallowed again by the dark. Will he revert to his old ways of hurting those he cares for most? Will he go back to the same destructive patterns . . . or will it be worse this time?
We can’t know light without first knowing dark . . . and Garth Black’s about to get acquainted with the dark in a whole new way.

4.5 Black stars!
I friggin love this series! If you haven't picked it up yet, please do so now!!!
Losers Weepers is the follow up book to Finders Keepers, in which Garth and Josie have really begun to make a good life for themselves. Garth is making good money on the bull riding competition circuit, he and Josie have bought a house together, and their relationship is progressing to the next step. Things are absolutely perfect, until a tragic accident has everyone crashing to the ground.
Garth gets slapped in the face with a life changing predicament, and it makes him reassess his own value. His past demons come back to haunt him and his self confidence has taken a huge blow. Garth has never felt like he was good enough to be with Josie, and he finds himself pushing her away again, telling himself it's the best decision for her. But Josie isn't one to back down, and she's going to put up a fight, even if Garth won't.
Nicole Williams definitely brought all of the feels in this book, and pretty darn early on. I liked the element she added of how people need to learn to make the hard choices and not give in to the easy ones. Garth had fought so hard for so long that when he was presented with a tragedy, he fell back into his old ways and started making the easy choices. I loved Josie's determination and love for her man, she's a strong woman and deserves a gigantic trophy labeled BEST GIRLFRIEND EVER.
It also amazes me that Nicole Williams writes fairly clean romance and I still love it! She's an amazing writer with tugging at the reader's emotions and this series is outstanding work on her part. I can't wait until the 5th book!

“You don’t throw away the love of a lifetime because someone gets injured—that’s when you prove what your love’s really made of.”
Garth Black. This dark, troubled, smart-alecky cowboy stole my heart in Finders Keepers, but I have to admit that getting a continuation of his story was equally thrilling as it was terrifying at first, because every protective bone in my body did not wish any more harm to come to these beloved characters. Garth and Josie’s love story had been a lesson in perseverance, of stubbornly fighting for what we want most in our lives, and of breaking the self-disparaging cycle we might have been born into. But their tale was not over, as blissfully as it had ended, and one more hurdle was needed for Garth to recognise and truly embrace the unconditional love a woman like Josie was offering him. An intensely emotional and thought-provoking story, sugar-coated with light-hearted humour and sarcasm, it never steered away from getting across a very meaningful message of hope and courage, of learning to grab life by the horns instead of fearing it, of living to the fullest regardless of what the future has in store for us, and of seizing every minute of every day like it were our last. I fell in love with these characters all over again, and I still find myself smiling from time to time as certain scenes unexpectedly flash through my mind, because this superb, feel-good story stays with us long after we turn the last page.
“I had nothing to compare to the way she loved me, and that’s what made it so special. No one but her had ever come close to loving me like that. No one had ever believed in me the way she did. Her love was so big and overwhelming that each day with her erased another day of pain and failure from my past. Her love was magic, healing me as it lifted me up, and though she tried convincing me otherwise, I knew I could spend ten lifetimes trying and failing to give her what she’d given me in a year’s time.”
Garth and Josie have found their happy ending in each other’s arms and with a hopeful future before them. But, after a childhood void of affection and approval, and having been told all his life that he was nothing, Garth still struggles with his self-esteem issues, especially when it comes to truly believing that he could ever be worthy of someone as wonderful as Josie. He plans of handing her the world, of making every single one of her dreams come true, thus making her as happy as she makes him, and his career as a bull rider is his means to that very end. But one moment, one flash in time, steals his dreams away and leaves him facing the kind of future he has dreaded all his life.
“My whole life, everything I’d been and everything I’d wanted to become, was spiraling away from me. Fragments of the man I’d been and the man I’d wanted to become were gusting out of reach. My life as I’d known it was over. My life as I’d hoped it would be would never come to fruition.”
As we watch him reverting to his old, sarcastic, self-destructive ways in an attempt to cope emotionally with his own helplessness and inherent pessimism, we also watch him push away those he loves the most in life—his Josie most of all. Convinced that she would be better off without him and determined to give her the life he believes she should want, he becomes his cantankerous old self, the man he knows Josie should not love. But all his plans fall through one by one as he realises that the firecracker he loves more than life itself is not a woman who can be told what to feel or what to do. And that her love comes with no conditions.
“Joze, you and I are more alike than both your mother and father pray every night we’re not.”
“Ah, that’s the sweetest thing you’ve ever said to me. Nothing says romance like implying your woman’s the asshole equivalent of you with boobs.”
Ms Williams has given us a kickass heroine that created the perfect character balance to the hero’s often belligerent and gloomy ways. Josie is Garth’s perfect match in so many ways, defusing his negativity with her sharp tongue and quick wit, disarming him with her bubbliness and playfulness, and mending his broken heart with her endless love and devotion. Even in his darkest hour, she is the beacon that pulls him out of his own misery.
“My God, Joze. You’re the best damn woman God had the audacity to go and create. How did I end up with you?”
There is something so emotionally fulfilling about a story like this one—even the sadder moments leaving us bursting with hope and positivity—but it is the sheer magnitude and beauty of the love present on every single one of these pages that captured my heart irreversibly. This inspiring, uplifting, touching love story was great before, but now it became a sight to behold. I cherished every moment and was only too happy to discover that one way or another, we would not be saying goodbye to these beloved characters just yet, as they would inevitably play a minor role in the final chapter of Jesse and Rowen’s story in Heart and Soul. This is a book for the heart and mine is overflowing right now.
“Nothing’s fine without you, Joze. But with you? Everything’s perfect.”

FULL REVIEW NOW POSTED:
“Don’t love me. You get to choose who you love, so please… please don’t waste it on me.”
If you had asked me a few months ago who my all-time favourite cowboy was, I would have said “Jesse Walker” in a heartbeat. That boy was the perfect combination of sweet and sexy, cheerful but profound, and this coupled with his innate ability to love others fiercely and selflessly, made him one of my favourite book boyfriends ever. But even while I was panting after Jesse, another cowboy caught my attention – a darker, more troubled one, whose smart mouth and careless attitude were clearly masking a bleeding heart under his tough façade. That cowboy was Jesse Walker’s best friend and this is finally his book.
“It didn’t matter what age I was or how much I thought I loved the woman. Marriage, rings, and vows were not created with people like me in mind.”
Garth Black has lived the kind of loveless childhood nightmares are made of. Having been neglected and physically abused by his only parent since he was born, never shown an ounce of affection or affirmation in his life, he has grown into a jaded young man who believes himself to be a bad seed unworthy of being loved. He is sarcastic, short-tempered and inherently self-destructive, making it very difficult for others to care for him or enjoy being around him. Except for his two best and only friends in the world who have always seen past his reckless pretences, never cared about his upbringing or his family’s lack of social standing, and who also happen to be the only two people that Garth has ever cared for. And he’s also secretly loved one of them since he was five years old.
“My childhood friend, my adolescent secret obsession, my biggest mistake.”
But as deep as his feelings are for his friend, Garth has never admitted this to himself or to her. He succumbed to his feelings for her only once in his life, one regretful drunken night of lowered inhibitions and frenzied passion, which cost him both his best friends for a long time after that.
“Why don’t you stop pretending to be the hero and own what you really are? The villain. Go villainize someone else’s life. You couldn’t possibly do anymore to mine.”
This book starts with a heartbreaking event in Garth’s life, leaving him homeless and alone in the world, and in the unexpected care of the very woman he won’t allow himself to love. But she is not only the only woman he dreams of, she is his true match, equally quick-tempered and stubborn, always seeing through his impassive acts and this time around determined to never allow him to push her away again. Never having had anyone concerned about his wellbeing before, or anyone who cared for him enough to put his happiness first, Garth is in unfamiliar territory when his best friend starts slowly dismantling his defences. Her persistent affection and faith in him are his undoing, and soon she makes him believe that they might have a chance at happiness after all. She shows him a different way of perceiving the world around him, one that is not all-consumingly negative and destructive, giving him hope that a man like him could love and be loved by a woman like her.
“It doesn’t have to be Garth Black against the whole world…”
She makes him question everything his dysfunctional childhood has taught him, his warped sense of right and wrong, his rejection of all social norms and behaviours, and for the first time in his life, Garth is happy. But a lifetime of self-doubt and self-hatred is hard to ignore when the world is determined to push you back down, and for Garth it is easier to believe that he will always be unworthy of his beloved’s love than that he finally deserves someone like her in his life. Or that he has anything in him to offer to her.
“How could I be what was best for her when I didn’t even know what was best for myself? How could I love her the way she deserved to be loved when my parents hadn’t shown me an ounce of it?”
A tale of learning to fight for what you want most in life and breaking a cycle of self-destruction and hatred of the world around you, this is a book that broke me, gutted me, made me mama bear and cowboy groupie all rolled into one. Garth’s self-doubting tendencies arising from a continuous lack of parental encouragement in his life made me so very protective of him and incredibly invested in his happiness. His leading lady was a force to be reckoned with, her strength of character and loving determination made me smile at their every interaction, not to mention swoon at the palpable chemistry between them. Without any explicit level of detail, Ms Williams manages to make our hearts race from mere acts of hand-holding or spooning in bed. I was having palpitations from sheer kissing scenes! Somehow, the level of emotion between these characters is more than enough to make us feel satisfied on all fronts, dreamy-eyed from beginning to end. I loved this book something fierce, and I knew, just KNEW this smartass cowboy would end up stealing my heart.
“I wasn’t the guy who fell in love with you this past winter… I was the boy who fell in love with you that day on the school bus when we were five. And I’m the man that always will.”

Cutest. Quote. Ever!

It’s been a while since I read the last book in this series and I don’t know why because I really enjoy them, and this was no exception.
We have another Garth POV book (and the last one 😢) and I live for it.
I’m amazed in how Nicole Williams manage to give us an incredible romance novel without being the typical story.
This one was tough. Poor Garth 😅
Though the resolution of all was kinda messy (and I have some strong opinions about it) I was happy.
Cannot wait to read the last one in the series and return to Jesse’s and Rowen’s story, but I will miss Garth a lot❤️

~~3 HEARTS~~
This was just OK for me. I felt like I would've been fine without this story. Yes you get more of Garth and Josie but it I never felt the urge to devour the book. I didn't feel like I needed to get back to the story and find out what happens next.

3 stars!***
To be honest if I didn't read this book I wouldn't miss much. I'm not saying that I didn't like it, but it was a bit redundant. In the end it got to almost the exact place where it originally started.
Once again I was glad that it was told only from Garth's POV.
It starts couple of months after Finders Keepers ended. Josie's and Garth's relatinship seems to be stronger than ever - they bought their own ranch and they are saving for their own cattle.
Garth is riding bulls and lately he's been doing really well. Earned a lot of money and even qualified to the nationals. But once second of being unconcentrated changed everything.
When he woke up in a hospital he couldn't feel anything from the neck down. The doctors weren't sure if he would ever regain his mobility or stay like this forever.
Garth started to fall deeper and deeper inside of his head, pushing everyone away. Fortunately Josie is just as stubborn as he is. But even she might get tired of fighting him and trying to bring down the wall he build around himself.
The whole story was kind of predictable. I knew what will happen in the end from the beginning and some part were cliché. If I didn't know thatNicole Williams can write better and more exciting books I'd have enjoyed this more, I think. But since I know that she can write mindblowing stories, this just didn't reach the level the previous books had.
There was a lot of going back and forth, lot of whining and inner drama. Garth deserved to be smacked. He was so depressing and behaved like a little girl. I know that he's been through a lot and it must have been hard but he was rude and nasty to people only trying to help him. He didn't even want to stay in the hospital for more than a day afer he woke up unresponsive.
I started to like Josie a bit more but she and I still hadn't made that connection that would make me want to root for her. I'm okay with her, I tolerate her but that's it.
In the end Garth pulled up his head from his ass and realized that he was behaving even more like an asshole than usual. If I were Josie I'd have made him grovel more, but that's none of my bussiness.
Overall, it wasn't bad and it also wasn't excellent. It was alright. Didn't make me regret I read it but the change that I'll read it again is really low.

I don’t know if anyone can fully understand how incredibly excited I was when I heard that we were getting more to this series. This series is one of my all-time favorites and will forever hold a special place in my heart. These characters are never far from my mind and they are the kind of characters that end up on my top tens and favorites lists over and over again. Losers Weepers was another wonderful addition to this series. Josie and Garth had more to their story and I was so glad to be able to experience that.
Garth Black. That poor tortured man. Just when he starts to get everything he wanted in life, everything comes crashing down around him. In typical Garth fashion, he does not deal with this well. He starts to draw back into himself and pulls away from everyone he loves. He absolutely broke my heart. He may not think so, but I think he deserves the best and deserves to be happy. This book pushed him to his limits and tests both himself and his relationship with Josie.
Speaking of Josie, I absolutely love her! That girl is so tough and so strong and does not back down! No matter what Garth dishes out in this one, she stays by his side and does not budge. And believe me, Garth tries his very best, but she knows him well and can see behind the facade. I was so proud of her.
Rowen and Jesse also play a pretty big role in Losers Weepers and I loved seeing them again. Rowen and Jesse hold a special place in my heart. They pretty much have built a house there, so I always love seeing them. But seriously. I’m going to take them away from Nicole until she learns to be nice to them! I am ECSTATIC that they are getting another book but my heart…. I don’t know if I can handle what is coming. It may not survive it. But in reality I am going to count down the days until I get that book and then dive right into the heartache.
Losers Weepers was a beautiful story that delivered a great romance and then so much more. Josie and Garth was the heart of the story but it was also about learning to deal with life’s curveballs and picking yourself back up when tragedy strikes. It was a heartbreaking story and I cried through a good portion of the book. This one hits you right in the feels. It grabs your heart and twists it, but then somehow in the end you are smiling and crying at the same time. It’s just beautiful.
Losers Weepers was a wonderful addition to this series. I am so glad we got some more closure for Josie and Garth. Their story was beautiful and passionate and one I could revisit again and again.

Here I thought the first book in the series was my favorite. Nope, this one definitely was. I have a feeling when the next book drops, I will be battling out for my favorite. One thing is for certain, for this series to be YA or NA... this book in combination with the other's is moving it up to one of my favorites.
My absolute favorite and will read again and again. I strongly recommend! It has outstanding qualities. The characters are wonderful and surprising and multi-dimensional. The writing is luring, engaging, and well-crafted enough to keep me interested from cover to cover and beyond. The plot is astonishing with twists and turns weaved into a well thought and planned story. There’s no pretense and romance was well balanced and done entirely correctly with properly distributed amounts of hints, behaviors and incredible, undeniable chemistry. Predictability is at an all-time low. With the exception of series based books that follow the same path but are just as good. Overall, Favorite, must read again, recommend!!!

3.5/5
Garth Black is my ultimate book boyfriend. I despised him in Lost and Found and fell hard core in love with him in Finders Keepers. Although I was completely satisfied with the way Finders Keepers ended, part of me was excited to see that Nicole Williams had decided to write more in Garth and Josie's story. Was Losers Weepers entirely what I expected? No. But do I regret reading it? Absolutely not.
I think for me, the one reason I wasn't head over heels in love with this book as I was with the rest of the series is actually Garth. Listen, I love this boy and my heart broke for him in this book, but man, was he bull-headed. He got these stupid ideas about how his condition would hinder his relationship with Josie and ultimately pushed her away. I seriously wanted to bash his head against a wall so that I could get rid of his dumb ideas. He did pretty idiotic things to try to push Josie away and it was disheartening to me. Yet, I didn't hate Garth for his actions because I knew where he was coming from. I think my frustrations towards Garth was mostly because he was creating one obstacle after the other towards his happy ending and I wanted nothing more than for him to have that happy ending that he clearly deserved more than anyone else. Thankfully, Josie was the absolute perfect heroine in Losers Weepers! This girl was a star and I already loved her in the previous books, but this time around my love for her multiplied by a 100 fold. Josie saw through Garth's bullshit and repeatedly tried to show him how wrong he was. She fought for their relationship and never once gave up. I loved how bold and feisty she was and how she did not bow down to Garth's crazy demands. She stood by the man that she loved and continued to shower him with affection. This book only convinced me further that Josie is the perfect girl for Garth.
Despite the obstacles that Garth put up in their relationship, there were still some genuinely heart-melting moments between Garth and Josie. Garth can be super swoony when he wants to be and he showed that in this book. The one other complaint I had when it comes to Losers Weepers has to be the lack of a proper sex scene. Yeah, I know. You guys probably think I'm crazy, but ever since the previous book, I've been whining about wanting a sex scene between Garth and Josie and I was hoping we would get one in this, so I was once again disappointed when there wasn't a proper one. What I did like was seeing glimpses of Jesse and Rowan. I loved how they stuck through with Garth too and how supportive they were of him even though they had their own issues to work through. I have to admit that I wasn't pleased to find out that they were getting another book, but now that I've thought it through, I don't think I have much an issue with it. I'm actually looking forward to it.
Losers Weepers was a bit of a rough ride of a book, but I'm honestly glad I gave it a shot because these characters hold a special place in my heart. If you guys haven't read this series and are fans of NA books, you should definitely check it out. It's got sexy cowboys, lovely heroines and romances that will make you swoon for days.
Garth Black is my ultimate book boyfriend. I despised him in Lost and Found and fell hard core in love with him in Finders Keepers. Although I was completely satisfied with the way Finders Keepers ended, part of me was excited to see that Nicole Williams had decided to write more in Garth and Josie's story. Was Losers Weepers entirely what I expected? No. But do I regret reading it? Absolutely not.
I think for me, the one reason I wasn't head over heels in love with this book as I was with the rest of the series is actually Garth. Listen, I love this boy and my heart broke for him in this book, but man, was he bull-headed. He got these stupid ideas about how his condition would hinder his relationship with Josie and ultimately pushed her away. I seriously wanted to bash his head against a wall so that I could get rid of his dumb ideas. He did pretty idiotic things to try to push Josie away and it was disheartening to me. Yet, I didn't hate Garth for his actions because I knew where he was coming from. I think my frustrations towards Garth was mostly because he was creating one obstacle after the other towards his happy ending and I wanted nothing more than for him to have that happy ending that he clearly deserved more than anyone else. Thankfully, Josie was the absolute perfect heroine in Losers Weepers! This girl was a star and I already loved her in the previous books, but this time around my love for her multiplied by a 100 fold.

Losers Weepers es el cuarto libro de la serie Lost & Found creada por la autora Nicole Williams y continua narrando la historia de amor de Josie y Garth, protagonistas del tercer libro.
Este libro fue una sorpresa, no tenia ni idea de que existia hasta hace cerca de un año, pensaba que la serie habia terminado con el tercer libro. Generalmente no me gusta demasiado cuando las autoras " alargan " las sagas añadiendo libros que no aportan casi nada a las historias pero en este caso estoy muy contenta de que añadiera dos nuevos libros para cerrar mucho mejor las dos historias de amor.
Es una lectura muy rapida, con no demasiadas paginas y que se lee muy bien gracias a que la narracion es muy fluida, quizas la razon de que no se lleve una mejor puntuacion es porque senti que todo ocurria muy rapido en algunas partes pero por lo demas, es un libro que recomiendo, es muy dulce. Perfecto para desconectar.
3.5 Estrellas!

How could one moment, one flash in time, be responsible for changing my whole existence?
Garth Black has lived through hard times pain, loss, and darkness. But after a long journey, he found true love, passion, and companionship with his lifelong friend Josie Gibson. We have followed them in the past few books and saw them get a happy ending in Finders Keepers. But now just as their relationship is progressing and his bull riding career is flourishing, they are faced with a new and difficult challenge. A situation that neither of them can control or truly predict the outcome. And for a man who is used to being beaten down and made to feel unworthy, it is easy to get sucked back into destructive and negative thinking. My heart broke for Garth as he struggled. But I also wanted to smack sense into him at times.
Obstinate, foul-mouthed, sarcastic, dark, broody Garth is back in all of his bad boy glory. But Josie is just as strong-willed and won't be pushed away. He always felt unworthy and had a hard time accepting help, so this new situation is stressful, frustrating, and infuriating for him.
They both are stubborn, protective, and totally devoted to each other. But when faced with a difficult situation with long-term repercussions, their protective instincts kick in but in different ways. In Garth's mind, he doesn't want to drag her down so he pushes her away for her own good. He really thinks that is him being the better man in his own twisted way. But Josie is the type the digs in and holds on for dear life. So then it becomes a battle of the wills on who is stronger. I hated seeing Garth fall back into the self-destructive patterns, but at the same time I could understand how it could happen. When faced with something that could change your whole life, it is easy to go back to your old coping mechanisms and have your old fears, insecurities, and feelings of worthlessness come back into play.
I loved the tenacity of Josie, and also their best friends Jesse and Rowen in their fierce support for Garth. But his friends and love can only carry him so far, and Garth will have to figure out a way to pull himself up by his bootstraps in order to deal with his new reality and try to move forward. It's just a matter of figuring out what will be the motivating factor to finally get through him.
Even though Josie and Garth previously had a quickly wrapped up happy ending Finders Keepers, this one really tested their long-term commitment and the changes that they previously made. They needed to go through something even harder than what they been through before to see their true commitment and also deal with the hidden fears that had still been lurking under the surface. This book was not always easy. It was darker, more negative, tragic, and in some of it was hard to read since we had to see some regression in Garth's personality. The characters have chemistry, but the story did not rely on sex in any way. This was about a relationship going through a traumatic situation and then trying to find their feet again. It shows the importance of fighting for those you love even during the most difficult of circumstances.
And in the midst of Garth's issues, we learn Jessie and Rowen are also undergoing their own scary situation. So all four of these main characters are having struggles and need each other. I love the fact that they do form a support system even when they sometimes fight or push each other away. But they've all been through so much together that they're also not willing to let any of the other ones wallow in self pity or or stay down too long without giving them an earful. And even one of the main antagonists from the last book was back. So this was an interesting journey for all of these characters that allowed us to see a bit farther into their futures while watching them all grow and change.
It was told in Garth's point of view so we got the full, unabridged, dark Garth experience. The dark parts just made the little lighter or happier parts all that more meaningful. There were moments of humor usually provided in the banter and teasing with the friends. But sometimes it just came from Garth's cranky, sarcastic mouth. Even when he was in a negative phase though, I really still loved Garth. I always have. Underneath all of his macho bravado lived this broken boy who really just needed love, trust, support, and to feel wanted. His vulnerability and capacity to love touched my heart. And I always liked him and Josie together and felt they made a perfect match for each other's strong personalities. So even though it was hard to see them going through something so difficult, it also showed how far they have come since the beginning. I did have a few issues with the book that mostly pertained to how certain plot things were resolved...some I felt maybe a little too easily or quickly or without needed intervention. But overall, I enjoyed spending more time with all of these characters. I have really enjoyed this series and would not rule out reading more about Jesse's sisters. There was a little tease about his sister, Lily in this one. And Nicole just announced that Jesse and Rowen will have another book Heart and Soul.

Para Garth todo se viene abajo luego de caer y casi partirse la columna en un rodeo. Atado ahora a una silla de ruedas, siente que todo en su vida pierde sentido, incluso el estar con su hermosa novia Josie, quien se mantiene a su lado aún cuando su humor lo hace insoportable. Ella no pierde la esperanza de que él vuelva a caminar, pero él sólo se ve a sí mismo con un medio hombre.
Este libro me arrugó un poco el corazón, no es fácil verte en esa situación y salir adelante. Son esos momentos en los que sientes, que estar muerto sería una mejor opción, y no lo es. Siempre hay una luz al final del túnel.

This one was just okay for me unfortunately. The story itself would have been good, but I often found myself wondering if it was described realistically. I don't know all that much about the things accompanying , but I was missing some more detail here. I felt myself wondering frequently if everything wasn't described to be more easily than it is in reality. Again, I don't really know, but I would have liked at least some more hints here and there as to how things really work. I get that this may not be the preferred topic in romance books, but since the topic was chosen to begin with I would have liked more insight.
I liked Josie, Garth not so much for the most part. Parts of the story still were enjoyable, but this was by far my least favorite so far.

This was another good read in the series. I was actually expecting this one to be bad. I didn't think Garth would be able to overcome his problem as well as he did. I will say I'm quite glad it went like that. I really didn't want to deal with an intense book. Now I just have to read the last one and see if everyone gets a happily ever after.

Review by Lisa Kane
Garth Black finally is in a good place. He has his girl, Josie and he's on top of the Bull Riding Championships. If he keeps winning the way he has this last year, he'll be able to do the necessary repairs on the ranch he and Josie bought and raise cattle. He knew this business wouldn't last forever, ¦he just needs another year or two. He has the ring, literally in his pocket and just needs to pop the big question to make it official.
But things don't go according to plan and just when he qualifies for the nationals by staying on Voodoo, one of the most notorious bulls for his required 8 seconds, he is thrown and it's lights out. When he wakes up, he is in a hospital and literally can't move. Not his arms, not his legs. Nothing. Just his head can turn. Josie and Rowen and Jesse are there and he knows this can't be good. All their eyes are red and swollen and his gut tells him that he's seen enough bull riding injuries in his time to know this is it for him.
Everyone tells him that his X-rays are inconclusive and he may or may not walk again. He knows that his condition isn't going to change and on top of all of this, he has no medical insurance. He gets himself discharged and ends up staying at Josie's parents' house.
Garth drew the short straw when it came to parents and a home life. He let his anger decide his fate too many times. But when things finally went good for him; when he finally got Josie, the girl he's loved for years, he thought his life was taking a turn for the better. He's made peace with Jesse after years of bitter fighting and he has a grudging respect for Rowen. He is so much more than the life he came from and he will need to dig deep down to deal with this latest shit storm life is throwing at him. For some one like him, who was taught at an early age not to rely on anyone, not to count on anyone being there for him, depending on his friends for just about everything, is killing him. He will not condemn Josie to a life of being a care take to an invalid.
Josie, of course, has other ideas. She is so in love with Garth that whatever is thrown at them, she believes they can survive. Whether he walks again or not, he is the man she wants and the only man she will love.
"I wanted to be with you before, I want to be with you now, and I'll want to be with you forever because I love you."
This latest installment in Nicole Williams' Lost & Found series, was, for me at least, the most poignant. My eyes were wet so many times and my heart broke more times than I can count. This book is so beautifully written. A man lost, who has been found and the woman who he believes is the moon and the stars and the sun. What happens when that man truly believes that woman would be better off without him? And what if that woman refuses to let go?
We have a few glimpses into Jesse and Rowen's lives and they are complicated beyond belief. But a bonus for us, we are getting another book about them! I'll take it, It's a reading pleasure any time we get to hang out with these characters!
Neither space, time, nor situation would change that there was only one person in this godforsaken world for me. I could push her away and shove her away in my best attempts to save her from me, but nothing could change that Josie and I were bound to each other in such a way that nothing could sever the bond.

4.5/5 stars
I don't even know where to start with this review to be honest. Should I tell you my eyes were full of tears for a good majority of this one? Do I warn you of the emotional punch that it will deliver to you? Or do I tell you point blank how much I love and adore Garth Black and Josie Gibson?
Let's start with the latter. Oh, those two. They made my heart SING in this book. I loved seeing them fall for one another in Finders Keepers and I was so happy to be back in their world. I don't want to reveal too much, as I think you really need to go in and experience this one and the events that play out completely blind. Something huge happens to Garth and Josie, something so unexpected that my mouth literally dropped open when it came. I was in utter shock and I was terrified of how Williams was going to resolve everything. Garth and Josie's world is completely upended and it's how they deal with the aftermath that will really tear you up. Williams does such a beautiful job with their story and even though my heart felt like it was shattering over and over, the unfailing love and devotion is what really made this one soar.
I do think the story was a bit underdeveloped in some places and I couldn't help but want more. I felt there was a bit missing between a few major events toward the end that would have been better resolved had the in between been beefed up a bit more. I realize this is so vague and doesn't make sense, but Garth makes a really big decision and he doesn't play either. He is keen on following through, but then something happens that all of a sudden makes him realize he never should have doubted and that it's all going to be ok. I get his change of heart, but I feel there needed a bit more conversation between him and Josie in between that moment and the ending of the book. And maybe a sexy scene thrown in? ;) Regardless, this is minor to the overall plot. I loved that Williams gave us more to Garth and Josie's story and that she decided to continue it and end it the way she does.
In addition, Rowen and Jesse make a really strong appearance in this book. This ends up playing a key role, as they are also getting one last book called Heart and Soul! I am excited for their last hurrah and also really nervous based on new information we discover in this one. I love Rowen's feistiness and how she calls Garth on his crap. It's definitely fun to watch those two banter!
Losers Weepers is a little sexier than Finders Keepers was, but it wasn't overdone, so those who like their New Adult books on the lighter side, this series is a great one to read. I love Garth and Josie, their banter and their love and devotion to one another. Josie is absolutely a stand-out character in this one and her resilience and unwillingness to give up is what really made an impression on me.
"Love wasn't simple. It didn't come naturally or instinctively or easily. It had to be earned and fought for and could drive a person to insanity just as quickly as it could drive them to greatness, but in the midst of all of that confusion, I knew one thing: I loved this woman. And she loved me."

Muy poco creíble el desarrollo de la condición de él, teniendo en cuenta lo poco que hizo en el hospital. De nuevo lo digo, Josie se merece algo mejor.

I loved the broody Garth in the previous books and I could not think of anyone better for Garth than Josie. However, I don’t know how to say exactly what I thought without giving too much away. Therefore this will be short and to the point, I hope.
In the beginning of this book, Garth is reminiscing about his love for Josie. He loves her. He sees only her even though he has women wanting his attention all the time. He sends others to pretend to be him so that he does not have to deal with his crazy fan club. I love when the hero only loves and sees the beauty in the heroine. When Garth finally feels that he is out of the darkness that he has been in for a long time, something happens and takes Garth back to that dark place.
Nicole Williams is an amazing writer. My problem is that for me this was predictable and I was expecting more. I did want emotions and angst and drama, but I did not want to see Garth go back to his self-destructive pattern. I did not blame him for the way he felt, but I was a bit annoyed with it all. Garth was again feeling his worthlessness. His behavior at times was so stupid, so selfish. Why can’t he ever just step back and think how his behavior impacts others? Honestly, I just did not want Josie to go through this with Garth; maybe less attention on Garth and more on Josie. If Josie and Garth’s relationship needed to be tested, maybe there should have been something that Josie went through. Josie being so sweet does everything to give Garth everything as do their friends, Jesse and Rowen. Garth’s bad temper and mood was a just a repeat of what I had seen before and all of it was predictable.
I have been a fan of Nicole Williams for a long time. I know I will be forever reading and rereading her books.

He sends others to pretend to be him so that he does not have to deal with his crazy fan club. I love when the hero only loves and sees the beauty in the heroine. When Garth finally feels that he is out of the darkness that he has been in for a long time, something happens and takes Garth back to that dark place.
Nicole Williams is an amazing writer. My problem is that for me this was predictable and I was expecting more. I did want emotions and angst and drama, but I did not want to see Garth go back to his self-destructive pattern. I did not blame him for the way he felt, but I was a bit annoyed with it all. Garth was again feeling his worthlessness. His behavior at times was so stupid, so selfish. Why can’t he ever just step back and think how his behavior impacts others? Honestly, I just did not want Josie to go through this with Garth; maybe less attention on Garth and more on Josie. If Josie and Garth’s relationship needed to be tested, maybe there should have been something that Josie went through. Josie being so sweet does everything to give Garth everything as do their friends, Jesse and Rowen. Garth’s bad temper and mood was a just a repeat of what I had seen before and all of it was predictable.
I have been a fan of Nicole Williams for a long time. I know I will be forever reading and rereading her books.

This book was, essentially, about Garth and Josie going toe to toe. And I was rooting for Josie, as Garth was being stubborn about something stupid, in my opinion.
The plot is a bumpy ride, with feels all over the place.

I only have two complaints:
1. It was too short!
2. Not enough sexy time!
That said, GARTH I LOVE YOU!Maybe even more than Jess.

After the HEA in the previous book that featured Garth and Josie, I was not expecting this book to be as good. The pair go through some serious issues and the ending was even better than I expected.
One more book to go, can't wait

Oh, how I’ve missed Garth and Josie, Jesse and Rowen!! I freaking adored the cast of characters from Nicole Williams’ Lost and Found series, and I am SO happy we’re getting more books from BOTH couples! Losers Weepers is Garth and Josie’s second book, and it was an utter joy to read. This book is full of Nicole Williams’ classic heart and humor – fans of the Lost and Found series definitely shouldn’t miss this!
“I get more things wrong than I get right, but there’s one thing I’m really damn good at, and that’s loving you.”
Garth Black!!!! I’ve miss you and your sardonic, sexy, cowboy self. In the previous books, Garth used to be very pessimistic and just plain angry at the world, but ever since falling in love with Josie Gibson and having her fall in love with him back? He feels like the happiest and luckiest guy in the world. Sure, he’s still got his asshole moments, but for the most part, you can’t help but love him and his sarcasm and dry-humor.
At the start of Losers Weepers, Garth is at the top of world – he’s got the love of his life and he’s at the height of his bull-riding career. But what happens when a terrifying accident threatens to take all that away?
“My whole life, everything I’d been and everything I’ve wanted to become, was spiraling away from me. Fragments of the man I’d been and the man I’d wanted to become were gusting out of reach. My life as I’d known it was over. My life as I’d hoped it would be would never come to fruition.
I could feel the devastation and hopelessness Garth faces with because of his accident – it’s difficult to come to grips with what happened and he reverts to his old ways of hurting and pushing away the ones he loves most. Josie, Jesse, and Rowen are all there for him, they all want to be there for him, but Garth is stubborn and tries to refuse their help. Luckily, his girlfriend and friends are just as stubborn as he is and won’t let Garth fall back into his darkness.
I loved seeing Jesse and Rowen again! They have plenty of scenes in Losers Weepers, which I was so happy about! Jesse and Rowen stick by Garth no matter how much of a jerk he is, and they’re the type of friends who aren’t afraid to tell him to his face how much of a jerk he’s being. They also have their own little storyline within the book that I’m sure will be continuing and expanding in their next book!
Garth was pretty frustrating in this book. I get why he wanted to push people, namely Josie, away, but sometimes it did get tedious while I was reading. What made up for it was how tough and stubborn Josie was, never giving up on Garth. It’s so clear that she never stops loving him, and she won’t ever stop loving him no matter what he can or can’t do, and it takes a while for Garth to see this. But when he does, my heart was just bursting from happiness!
Neither space, time, nor situation would change that there was only one person in this godforsaken world for me. I could push her away and shove her away in my best attempts to save her from me, but nothing could change that Josie and I were bound to each other in such a way that nothing could sever the bond.
Losers Weepers is another deeply emotional, heartwarming read from Nicole Williams. If you haven’t started this series, I highly recommend it! It’s well-written with unforgettable characters – definitely a must read series!

My Thoughts:
The Lost & Found Series is beautiful. The characters are real and relatable, and the plot themes are fun, but also have substance. These books are one of my all-time favorite romantic series'. I cannot get enough of Rowan, Jesse, Garth, and Josie. These characters hold a special place in my heart, and I fear my words cannot possibly do this series justice.
In Losers Weepers, we get the continuation of Garth and Josies's love story, told exclusively from Garth's point of view. Things are going well for Garth and Josie. They are extremely happy and deeply in love with one another. Garth is ready to ask Josie to be his wife, but first he needs to get on the bull, and qualify for nationals. He stays on the bull for 8 seconds like he needs to, but then he gets distracted and catapulted off.
When Garth wakes up in the hospital, he cannot feel or move his body anywhere beneath his neck. The doctor tells him that he has a ten percent chance of walking again, and this destroys him. He realizes that he cannot give Josie the kind of life that he feels she deserves. He doesn't feel useful or like a man anymore, and is determined to push the only woman he's ever loved away. Will Josie leave, due to Garth's snarky attitude, and determination for her to move on? Or, will she be successful in proving to him that real love means sticking together in the most dark, difficult, and devestating of times?
Losers Weepers broke my heat. I felt such deep and raw emotions as I read Garth's story. I related to how he felt useless, pitied, and unworthy of Josie's love. I couldn't walk and was bed ridden for five months. This story brought me back to that time in my life. A time where I felt like I was a prisoner in my own body, and people had to bathe me, feed me, and do the simple things that we all take for granted. Wow... Garth's story hit home for me. It was powerful, emotional, and real.
I love Garth's character. He was selfless, and was trying to do the right thing by sacrificing his happiness for the woman that he loved. He was in a dark place, and his depression, bitterness, and hopelessness shined through with his self deprecating humor, and sarcasm. Josie was a bright light. She was strong, and persevered to show Garth that she truly loved him, and nobody could take his place. She was in their relationship for the long haul. I respected hoe Josie could be tender, nurturing, and hopeful at times, but wasn't afraid to use tough love and put Garth in his place, when he needed it.
Rowan and Jesse made an excellent supporting cast. Rowan is still full of fire and determination, while Jesse's still sensitive, compassionate, and loyal. They had a secondary storyline, that sets up the next story in the series, Heart & Soul. I am highly anticipating their next story, because I have loved every single book in this series.
My Rating:
I give, Losers Weepers, by Nicole Williams, 4 Heatbreaking, Raw, Unconditional Love Filled Stars! Romance readers, please try out The Lost & Found Series. It is a series that will appeal to a large audience, and I think everyone will love!

I am a huge fan of this series and couldn’t wait to read more of Garth and Josie’s story. Garth and I often have a love/hate relationship. I love him, but he can test my love like few other NA heroes. His character has grown exponentially since the early days of Lost & Found. No two characters deserve happily ever after more than he and Josie. While there was excitement, there was also trepidation over what obstacles these two would face in this installment.
“I love you so much it’s what defines me. You define me, Joze. You make my existence count.”
I was ecstatic after realizing the entire book would be told from Garth’s Point of View. He is always so straightforward and intense, and I have always admired his brutal honesty. His outlook and over the top attitude would definitely make for an interesting read. Sadly, it didn’t take long for the darkness to envelope Garth when he is faced with a life changing obstacle. He easily reverts to some of his former attitudes and behaviors. I found myself being quite irritated by his actions and wanted so bad for him to finally realize he needed to fight for his own happiness.
Fate sometimes gave a person a temporary furlough, but it never gave them a pass. I’d been foolish to believe differently.
The person I loved most in this book was Josie. I have always adored her, but her strength and resiliently really shines through. It takes a special woman to love Garth, and I am not certain anyone else could. I was frustrated with Garth countless times throughout the story, but Josie never wavered. She just kept loving him and fighting for their love when he could not. She is definitely one of my favorite heroines.
“I don’t run when things get scary, Garth. I thought you would have known that by now.”
While Losers Weepers features Josie and Garth, Jesse and Rowen play a significant role. It was nice these two have a large presence when they are needed most by Garth and Josie. The bond between Garth and Jesse is ever present. However, the interaction between Garth and Rowen were some of my favorite moments of the book. Rowen has the uncanny ability to always call Garth out and put him in his place when need be. Their endless banter never grows old or any less funny.
If Rowen Sterling-Walker was there, then I sure wasn’t in heaven or anywhere close to it.
I only wish the ending had been a tad longer. The final scenes felt a little rushed for me. Perhaps I am being a tad greedy, but it would have been nice to see more from Josie and Garth. Since Williams has announced that Jesse and Rowen will indeed have another book, I will refrain from complaining too much. I am eager to see what happens to my favorite cowboys!

I was as surprised as anyone when I fell head over heels in love with "bad boy" Garth Black during Finders Keepers. A fan of the series from the start, I didn't find much redeemable about Garth in the first two books. The third book, however, was a totally different story. I love when an author shows me a side to a character that I never expected to see. I loved Garth and Josie together and cheered them through all the tough times during Finders Keepers. Unfortunately, it turns out life isn't quite done kicking Garth around. There's still another challenge in store for him during Losers Weepers.
I was nervous when I first read the synopsis for this book. I was afraid to find out what happened to drag Garth back down into a dark place again. I didn't see what happened coming a mile away. (Ok, truthfully, I asked a friend who read it before me to spoil it for me so I could be prepared going in. But when she told me, I thought she was kidding. She wasn't.) The unexpected twist damn near broke my heart.
Losers Weepers is an emotional book. It wasn't an easy read. It was really tough to watch Garth and Josie go through what they did during this book. I thought they had found their happily ever after. To watch it get ripped away was downright painful. I want to be careful to avoid spoiling the book for you, which is difficult because so much of it takes place AFTER the thing that happens and it's the characters' reactions to it that made me simultaneously love the book and want to chuck it against the wall.
While I had to suspend beliefs during some parts of the book, the one place I never had to was in the actions of Garth and Josie. I think they way they each behaved – regardless how frustrating at times – was real and honest and perfect for their characters. Garth showed his maturity and selflessness. (Even though it made me want to scream sometimes.) Josie showed how much she loved him and how serious she was about him and the life they were building together. Together, they made me feel all the feels. ALL OF THEM. There were more than a few tears.
I didn't like to see life kicking these two characters around, but I ultimately ended up really enjoying the story. It was sad at times, but hopeful overall. Seeing Jesse and Rowan again was a great bonus. They both played an important part in Losers Weepers, helping Josie and Garth when they needed it most. I'm (more than) a little terrified to see what happens next for them. The blurb for Heart and Soul has me all kinds of freaking out. I need it now.
I received a copy of this book from the author in exchange for an honest review.

I have really enjoyed this series from the start, and while I had every intention of reading this a soon as it arrived on my iPad, I just never got around to doing so. When I eventually picked this one up, I was surprised by how easy it was to jump back into the world of Garth and Josie, it felt like I had never been away.
Losers Weepers starts with Garth at a competition, and after a successful ride, his dream are shattered in an instant, and it was something I did not see coming until it happened, and I knew instantly what had happened, and what the consequences were.
We all know Garth is tough, and hot headed. But after one small mistake that could change his life forever, and then trying to deal with this new possibility is hard for him, so he does what he does best, and tries to push everyone away, Josie, Rowen, and Jesse. The journey for Garth is tough, but thankfully his friends and family are determined to stick by him, to make sure he doesn't sink into a black hole of depression, and also do all they can to convince him that all is not lost.
Losers Weepers was possibly the most emotional book out of the series so far for me to read. Garth was never really a character I fell in love with instantly, and occasionally he graced the pages of my good books, but seeing the life he has to try and live and how much is affects him emotionally, physically, and mentally was heartbreaking. Seeing how one small accident can literally crush his dreams, his futures, even his own self worth (which can take a lot as we all know how full of himself he is) was hard to read.
But what I loved about Losers Weepers was seeing the strength from others, how they rallied around to help and support him, even people who wouldn't really consider Garth a friend. Losers Weepers is a book that shows you that even if you give up, others will be there to catch you, that family and friends are the same thing, and they will always be there for you. I devoured every page of this book, I could not read it fast enough, and although I wasn't too sure on how it would all end, I was so happy with the final ending and how it all came about.

-- Want to know if the whole series is worth reading? Read my overall review of the whole series at seriesousbookreviews.com! Spoiler Free!
The plot for this story really surprised me. It wasn't your typical romantic sequel in that the relationship wasn't being tested by some unnecessary love triangle or other stupid, petty reasons (like in Near & Far). Instead, it challenges the characters with a realistic situation that was really unexpected. Sure, it had its soap-opera moments BUT I really enjoyed the concept and the test these characters undergo.
Definitely the strongest of the series in terms of character development.
