If men love their women as they love themselves and women respect their men "what a wonderful world it would be".Moments Lost and Found is the sequel to In the Moment where Samantha ( Sam) Davis , owner of a successful entertainment ad agency, struggles to balance her private and professional life. She loves Laurent and has already experienced life without him and knows she would rather have him in her life than not, yet she remains fearful of trusting her heart to him-always looking for the imagined tell tale sign that their relationship will not last. Seek and you shall find. She finds that Laurent did not tell her about a former lover and did not invite her to an event where the both of them would be. In that situation, I would not have been as forgiving.  After this discovery, Sam makes the decision to diversify and not put "all her eggs in one basket(Laurent). In Sam's world, she "calls the shots" as does Laurent in his world. This author puts in all the right twists and turns to reveal the hearts of these characters.  By the end,  I admired and loved Laurent. He does not change who he knows himself to be.  Had he done so, he would not have earned Sam's respect. Both these characters are mature enough to know, Sex alone does not make for a lasting relationship.  At 45 years of age, Laurent says of himself "I've  lived enough life to know women and to know men." He knew Sam's nature would have her learn from experience what he would want to spare her.  Based on her decision, she suffered a near rape.  As in life so is fiction:  What was meant for harm can be turned for good.  Though reluctant at first, I'm so glad I continued reading Sam and Laurent's story in book two Moments Lost and Found.  The story was believable and spell- bounding. I appreciate the author's handling of each character's strengths and weaknesses where in in the end exists the realization that the moments that matter the most exist in the heart.
