I enjoyed reading Girl Lost, the first book in The King Legacy series set in Florida. I read the book quickly because I was hooked into the story from the opening page and had to find out what happened next.
Luna is on leave from CIA and has returned to her hometown to find her daughter. The story opens with Luna waiting at a diner to meet her mentor. He’d saved Luna, when she was a troubled teen, by placing her in his Warrior Program. He has information on how Luna can connect with her child who she put up for adoption at birth.
Corbin is a special agent at Florida Department of Law Enforcement and the father of Luna’s child. He’s at the diner because he’s searching for a missing person. Eighteen years ago Luna ghosted him and their friend group from the Warrior Program. Luna is the last person Corbin expected to see at the diner.
When their mentor is kidnapped, Luna and Corbin are forced to work together to search for him. Young teens are missing. Corbin and Luna are in danger from unknown sources. The high octane suspense builds to an action packed finale. I loved how the story kept me guessing with unexpected twists and turns.
Luna and Corbin’s romance is sweet and they have to deal with their emotional baggage from their dysfunctional childhoods and failed teen romance. The side characters were intriguing and I was challenged to think about the consequences of a few things that happened during the story.
I recommend Girl Lost to romantic suspense readers who like…
