But to Sydney Neville, he was everything. Her heart hasn\u2019t been the same since her best friend disappeared, but she\u2019s learned to build her life around that missing piece. Twenty-two years later, the last thing Sydney expects is for Oliver Lynch to return. Having been captive underground for decades, he\u2019s unfamiliar with the strange new world that awaits him, but he\u2019s alive. He\u2019s here. And no matter how he\u2019s changed, he and Sydney both still feel the connection that runs between them. But as their reborn friendship begins to feel like something more, Sydney and Oliver realize there are still jagged, painful truths creating space between them. The walls Sydney\u2019s built don\u2019t want to come down, and as Oliver hunts for his missing memories and lost time, he realizes his nightmare is not yet over. With nothing as it seems, is there space for love to bloom in this dark place?<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Another winner for Hartmann. She really is quickly becoming one of my top authors to read! This book. This man. I was hooked. Not going to lie, the story reminded me so much of <em>Archer\u2019s Voice<\/em>. Makes me want to reread that one with the whole inexperienced men. This one wasn\u2019t as dark as I was hoping it would be, but boy did I swoon, giggle, and fall in love with these two characters. This author sure knows how to throw us unique reads and this was no different, I\u2019ve not read anything like it before.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">I rated this novel four stars. These characters will always have a special place in my heart, I loved their journey, the love they shared even at such a young age was so heartfelt, the author did such an amazing job with these two. The only issue I had was that it was quite predictable. I am exciting to read on Gabe\u2019s story next!<\/p>\n<div class=\"ubb-final-rating\"><\/div>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/booknookbuzz.com\/lotus-by-jennifer-hartmann\/\">Lotus by Jennifer Hartmann<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/booknookbuzz.com\/\">Book Nook Buzz<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lotus by Jennifer Hartmann on September 5, 2023 Genres: Fiction \/ Romance \/ Contemporary, Fiction \/ Romance \/ New Adult, Fiction \/ Romance \/ Suspense Pages: 464 Format: eBook, Paperback Buy on Amazon Goodreads \u201cI loved you then, I love you now, and I\u2019ll love you until my dying day.\u201d To the rest of the [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":2878,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2877","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/bookloves.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2877"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/bookloves.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/bookloves.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bookloves.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2877"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/bookloves.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2877\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bookloves.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/2878"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/bookloves.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2877"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bookloves.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2877"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bookloves.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2877"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
