3.5 StarsThe amnesia trope in romance can go well or fall apart. That part of LOVE LOST AND FOUND was carried off well, I thought. Felicity and Rick were engaged until a rock climbing accident leaves him in a coma and her without the last five years' worth of memories. Since nothing in her current life is familiar, Felicity pretty much deserts Rick before he wakes up, and begins a new life on her own.Rick needs to find her, which brings them back in contact, and getting stranded on an island together forces them to stay together.To be honest, I felt bad for Felicity as Rick wouldn't let go of his negativity long enough to discover whether her amnesia was faked or not. He lied continually, even when given a chance for a new start. I didn't feel the chemistry between them enough to buy into their first sexual contact, so it wasn't sexy to me, but awkward.On the good side, I loved Felicity and how she was going about her new life. If Rick had approached her romantically from the start, I would have been cheering him on. As it was, the banter carried me along enough to finish but my enjoyment wasn't as much as others might find.*I was given a copy of this book through Netgalley for an honest review.*
