Love Lost and Found was an okay read. I love stranded together romances, but I'm iffy on amnesia. Several months ago, Rick and his business partner, Felicity, went rockclimbing. He proposed, she said yes, then they fell. Rick was in a coma, and when he came out of it learned that Felicity had been discharged weeks before and took off. He can't understand why she'd leave, but he's told that she has amnesia and the last five years are gone. Rick hires a private detective who finds her working on a cruise ship, and Rick knows that he needs to get her back even if she doesn't remember him.
Love Lost and Found started out weird for me. I get that Felicity was distraught and confused, but why would she run away across the world when she can't remember the last five years of her life? She's not going to figure it all out if she leaves her entire life behind! Meanwhile, Rick pretending like he doesn't know her was just a set up for unneeded drama. He does think she might be faking because of business reasons (and that's a whole other issue of its own), but he should have told her! Doesn't he think she wants to know what happened to her?! I doubt she'd get pissed to learn about her life, whereas she'd definitely be upset to find out that this charming "stranger" is a liar!
I was just not into Love Lost and Found. In a way, I liked how the amnesia angle played out in the end, but I really did not like how Rick treated Felicity at all. First he doesn't even believe her, and then he plays her for no reason. There's also an annoying amount of inner dialogue. I felt like most of the narrative was Rick and Felicity having random thoughts (so much italics!!!).
