Kate Perry is professional writer who knows how to craft a well-structured story. Lost In Love is a tight romance that delivers on all faucets. Perry has a vast library of her work as evidence. This is my first venture with a Perry book and I wasn't disappointed. Lost In Love is the second book in her new Summerhill series. Each book follows the lives of each Summerhill sister as well as a side couple. The Summerhill sister we follow is Portia Summerhill. She's a self-described introvert. She has no real working work experience except for the vast knowledge of her families pedigreed history and it's valuables.Lost In Love is told in third person from four different points of view. You meet Portia first, then Jackson Waite, her love interest. He's a rich hotelier who comes to London to oversee the renovation and completion of his company's newest resort. The resort is the former estate of the Summerhill family and one Portia had dreamed of living out her days except her father squandered his wealth and sold the estate before he died, never telling his family. Jackson and Portia meet in a very funny and love/hate way. The sparks fly like they should and you know their destined.What Perry does well is show an enduring romantic relationship while still drawing the reader into to the external and inner conflicts of the characters.  Jackson is cocky and self-assured. Portia is feisty but thinks she's timid. They have the perfect push and pull relationship throughout the book.The other couple portrayed in the book, which I may have wanted to read more about, was Meredith and Quinn. Both Meredith and Quinn work for Jackson's company. Quinn is the brains and brawn behind the operation while Meredith also works close to the higher ups and happens to be Jackson's ex-fiance.I loved Quinn's self-assurance, just like Jackson, but Quinn was more dominating. He knew what he wanted and he wasn't pulling any punches. He wants Meredith and nothing was going to stop him. With Quinn you get the typical Alpha male many reader clamour for. Meredith needed the dominance in order to pull her out out of herself and I think Perry wrote that quite well. Dare I say that I would love to read a novella of their romance next.Lost In Love is a very sexy romance with a dash of drama. I don't think anyone would be disappointed reading what Perry has in store for this series. It's interesting, hot, and a good book to curl up with.
