REVIEW: As Lost As I Get by Lisa Nicholas

 
As Lost As I Get by Lisa Nicholas was an interesting adventure suspense in a unique setting with a lot going on!

Zoe, having recovered from a horrible experience in the last place she worked, is a Doctor working at a clinic in Colombia. Lee is undercover CIA who met and rescued Zoe when she was at her worst. They lost touch, but now their lives intersect again. A mutual attraction pulls them together, but there is so much at stake, dangers that they don’t even know about yet…Risks to take that might take their future away from them.

Lisa writes As Lost As I Get from Zoe and Lee’s POV, and I felt that this gave me a good perspective into both of the characters. However I would have liked more background about both of them…what brought them to where they are today, family, etc., to help me understand them and know them better. I liked that Zoe and Lee had a previous connection, even if it was during a bad time. I felt that this gave the immediate reconnection they felt believability. Although Zoe fights it, Lee and her soon are in much more together than either of them anticipated. There is definite chemistry between them, but as they explore this there is also danger lurking. I liked how Lisa wove the danger, suspense, and romance together. Lee and Zoe really lead very different lives, I was very interested to see how this would work out.

The secondary characters in As Lost As I Get were interesting, and a times a little mystifying! I liked having to figure them out and wait to see what role they played in the lot. This added to the suspense.

The setting for As Lost As I Get is well described, and it made me realize how brave and strong both of these characters are.

I would recommend As Lost As I Get to romantic suspense readers.

CIA operative Lee Wheeler is glad to be back in the field, even if the assignment is at a backwater station in Colombia—what he considers punishment for crossing lines in an attempt to save his brother’s life. Either way, he’s ready for action. But he never could have predicted the action he’s about to get…

Doctor Zoe Rodriguez is in charge of a clinic in a tiny town on the edge of the rain forest. She’s still dealing with a traumatic experience she had in Mexico—a trauma she wouldn’t have survived if it weren’t for Lee. So when they unexpectedly cross paths again, unresolved wounds rise to the surface, and their mutual passion flares to life.

But when a new threat reveals itself, Lee and Zoe’s reunion takes on echoes of the past that may ruin their chance for a future.
