Lost and Found is really SciFi with ageplay/spanking thrown in. I won't go into too many details as it would ruin the story - but the main part of the book with Lance and Noelle is more ageplay related. Then you have extensive other characters where it is really about domestic discipline. You never understand anything through Noelle's eyes as she is always talked about - you aren't in her headspace or being told about her headspace. The result of that is she is very distant and, flatly, weird. Lance is more relatable - and his emotions, what he thinks, does - make more sense. Katherine - one of the secondary female characters - is awful. Whiny, demanding, childish, obnoxious, whiny - did I say whiny? For the life of me I could not figure out her draw. She was a 20 something women living a 8 year old girls life as far as how she was allowed to act. Unfortunately her and her husband's relationship was NOT AGEPLAY. Yep. Them there is de problem -- IMHO you either do ageplay itself or you have a grown woman acting like a, well, grown woman. Awful. There is nothing I hate more than a bratty submissive who whines, wheedles, and stamps her feet in anger like she's 3. It's positively frightful. Thankfully she was a secondary character.So why 3 stars? The idea for the book, Sci Fi parts, are very interesting and great - really enjoyed them. I didn't find the spanking too hot because it kind of interrupted the story to me (there is now indeed a first time for everything I guess!). Noelle and Lance as romantic couple - not so much. It is one thing to playact as a young child - another to BE a young child really truly mentally and capability wise. Scatter adult moments aside (there were too few of them) to me it's not really hot with this thrown in. YMMV. A lot of times they referred to her as a child and that is how you see her - no ageplay - reality. It made a strange feeling to the book. I just had no connections at all to any character - I didn't care what happened - although I wanted the SciFi resolution (which is why it got 3 stars).
