The heart-stopping follow-up to the bestselling new adult of star-crossed in the city that never sleeps.

Six months ago, I gave my heart to a girl.
Beautiful, kind, and sexy as sin, she’s the only person who saw past my record or the color of my skin. Who ever saw me for me.

She loved me enough to let me go, let me leave this city to find my own path.
But without her, I drift, lost without direction.
Without me, she spirals, desperate for connection.

I gave my heart to a girl, and she gave hers to me.
But love shouldn’t hurt this much.

5.0 out of 5 stars Loved It!
Reviewed in Australia on 17 March 2018
I Loved Lost Ones. It was wonderful to read more of Layla and Nico’s story. I was so sad when Nico and Layla went their separate ways in the last book, Bad Idea.
This book starts about 2 months after they have separated. Although their lives took them in different directions Nico and Layla stay in touch. Their story is one full of emotions. At times I found myself upset with the both of them and the decision they made. Yet, I could understand why they made them. I was super saddened by some of the situations Layla finds herself in. My heart broke for her and I most definitely cried. Through it all though I felt hopeful that Layla and Nico’s undying love for each other would eventually bring them back to one another.

I laughed, I sighed, I sniffled, I got angry, swooned and felt frustrated. She grew a spine but for some reason I felt angry about it? I think because I felt like she eventually did it because she started to feel unworthy rather than she is better than the way she was treated. Nico finally woke up but she was already to broken to accept his love when everything was falling apart. Then everything starts falling into place and something terrible happens, he then has to be the thing one. That moments left me feeling breathless and broken hearted. But his dream is finally coming true and now I can’t wait to see if they can overcome it all! Give this book a read or you truely are missing out.

5.0 out of 5 stars Lost Ones by Nicole French was exceptional in every way
Reviewed in the United States on 14 March 2018

Lost Ones by Nicole French was exceptional in every way. I usually write a review in just 30 minutes or less. It’s not hard to find words usually to express my feelings about a book. I mean, sometimes I struggle with the actual rating of a book – meaning whether it falls between a 1 to 5 scale - but not finding actual words to tell you what I thought of a book? Yah, that’s not a challenge for me! Yet, I am legitimately struggling with telling readers just own amazing, phenomenal, utterly captivated I was after reading Lost Ones, book two in the Bad Idea Trilogy by Nicole French. Make no mistake, this author will knock you on your butt with her talents! Do not underestimate her. Because I assure you, as a newer indie author, she has moved to the very top of my list of favorites. After reading Bad Idea, I was completely floored by her talent. Bad Idea was my first book by Nicole so when I started reading her work, I really had no idea what she was capable of. The complete opposite was true this time.

Going into Lost Ones, I knew that Nicole French was exceedingly talented. Her books are very character driven, and multilayered. They are exceedingly well written. Since Lost Ones is the second book in a trilogy, I knew that I loved the characters and I was excited to resume the tale of love between Nico and Layla. Having said all this, I cannot adequately express the emotions that Nicole summoned in me between the pages of this book. I read it and immediately wanted to start it over from the beginning. I saw so much character progression between Bad Idea and Lost Ones. More then I was prepared for. By the end of Bad Idea, Nico and Layla have discovered a love that is life altering. But they also discovered that to love that completely, one must be willing to let the other person go. Lost Ones continues with hardships and obstacles that exist aren’t limited to distance. Nico must learn what it is to live away from the only city he has ever known, and Layla’s world completely collapses. Those issues are really just the tip of the iceberg. Lost Ones contains elements which were hard to read due to the subject matter. The angst in this book is jacked up about a trillion percent… and while romance readers take for granted that ever present HEA, they shouldn’t discount the journey their hero and heroine must undertake to reach that HEA.

I am not ashamed of my social media stocking of all things Nicole French [ 😉 ] or my endless requests for book three – when book two isn’t even released to the public yet. (Thank the lord I am a blogger and got this before that because I was having Nico withdrawls…) In discussing Lost Ones, it was suggested that I was completely in denial and potentially too close to certain characters of this story, BUT that’s just rubbish! Ha-Ha. I thoroughly LOVED this book and wouldn’t hesitate to offer it as a ten star read. Clearly with the early reviews I am seeing I am not the only one who feels strongly about this book. Also, I have no doubt that one day Nicole French will someday have a traditional publishing deal like many A-list authors as opposed to being an indie author. Her storytelling abilities exceed many of these so-called A-list authors that I have read. But don’t take my word for it. You should absolutely buy the book and read it for yourself. I am sure you will agree with my critique of both the author and the books she has released to date.

5.0 out of 5 stars Their love doesn't seem to be enough

This title is really apt for this continuing story of Nico and Layla's relationship. They are still both lost souls trying to find something to keep them together. Their love doesn't seem to be enough!.
I love the emotion flowing through this story and want them to be together but once again terrifying events for Layla prevents this from happening even though Nicos life is changing for the better.
This book has really sucked me in and I can't wait to read the final instalment

Always. The one word that redeemed Severus Snape and made him the real [adult] hero of the Harry Potter series. If I hadn't already loved Layla and Nico before that promise to one another, that certainly clinched it for me.

I just can't believe that I have to read three whole books to get to Nico and Layla's HEA. :)

I love reading a story that follows a new narrative that is not sunshine and roses. Life is not always free flowing as Nico and Layla experienced.. Totally loved the way the author took me for a ride through their lives. So on to book three!
