This was my first book reading from this author and I must say I was quite taken with how it went. Tia and Brody are so cute together and it’s what made this story so believable. We witness lovr, haopy, heartache and most of all trust. I think this story is going to be a intro to some amazing characters and I can’t wait to read more. I give it 5 stars. I voluntarily read and reviewed this book as an Advanced Reader’s Copy.
What can happen when you accidently are in the wrong place and witness a drug deal
The characters were much more real and vibrant in this second of the series book. The extended complexity of the story and plot made this a more exciting read. I would read just one more chapter instead of things I had planned for the day. It was refreshing. The examples of restoration and lessons in forgiveness gave it more than a story purpose. Thank You
Medical side was a bit off, but loved the forgiveness message and God makes us new creations.
Lost Memories and New Beginnings (The Men of Fire Beach #2) was another great read by Lorana Hoopes. Tia was in an accident and has no idea how she got to the hospital. She fears that her memory will never return. Brody is one of the doctors who attends to Tia and there is something about her that intrigues him. I really enjoyed reading Tia and Brody’s story and can’t wait to read more by the author.
I was given a free copy of this Audiobook In exchange for an honest review. Tia is in the hospital with no memory and she’s scared. Brody is her doctor and as he gets to know her he likes what he sees. But as her memory and pieces of the puzzle come together her past does not match with the person she is now. However the mysterious black truck that caused the accident and its driver are still out there and are they still a threat? I gleaned from the book to never stop praying and how forgiveness can help us and the true beauty in starting over. Will Tia and Brody find love? Read the book and find out.
Lost Memories and New Beginnings ((The Men of Fire Beach, Book 2), my 20th incredible read from wonderful Christian author Lorana Hoopes, her second read by me in the romantic/suspense genre (I love a good mystery). The author’s Texas roots show as most of her books are set in The Lonestar State or have ties to it. This is another amazing Christian read, God’s hand is apparent throughout the book, if there’s a flaw in this book it’s that it’s too short. I don’t do spoilers though so you’ll have to read it and find out for yourself! I was given an Audible copy of this book & am voluntarily reviewing. Lorana Hoopes’s talented self-narration & Texas accent/drawl adds to the well-written book’s enjoyment as no one knows her characters like the creator. I can’t wait to read the next book in the series. (RIP Marley January 20, 2014 – July 24, 2018).
So much suspense and action! It’s a great story with plenty of edge of the seat action! Great job of narrating!

Gripping romantic suspense. A little over dramatic but interesting nonetheless. Life doesn’t give many do over chances but for Tia and Brody it did. Can hardly wait and see what happens next. I was given a free ARC by the author. My review is freely and honestly given
Another great Fire Beach story! I liked the sweet and clean love story, the drama, mystery, and excitement of the story also pulled me in. The ending was perfect too. I definitely recommend it!
I received a complimentary copy of the book. All opinions are my own and are expressed voluntarily.
I have to say, I became caught up in this book. The characters drew me in and kept me wondering what was going to happen next. Tia enters the story at the beginning with no real recollection of who she is nor what happened. Because this is a medical suspense novel the handsome hero happens to be her doctor. This book kept me reading. I found it completely worth reading.
After the excellent first book in this series I was afraid the second one would be a let down. Boy was I wrong. This book picks up where the last one ended and takes you on an emotional rollercoaster ride. Suspense, drama and of course romance make this a great read.
What was good: The story is overall good. There’s suspense and drama. Our heroine slowly learns more and more about herself, some good and some bad. That leads her to make decisions to put things right. It also makes her more likable as the story goes on. Brody is also a good man, learning that he can care for others again after the death of his wife.
What was so so: The beginning as Tia is in danger has some overwritten phrases, like, “she could feel the frosty hatred in his gaze,” or “the fear grew icy talons and clawed up her insides.” That’s a bit over the top for me, but it’s thankfully only in the first few pages. The rest is not quite so melodramatic.
Overall: It’s a decent suspense novel. Some characters are more believable than others, but it’s a decent way to pass some time. It’s also clean and uplifting as we see characters grow and change and become better versions of themselves while getting a dose of mystery and intrigue.
An amazing well written Christian romantic suspense with smooth flowing dialogue. This fascinating storyline is fast paced and had me addicted from the first page till the end, as I couldn’t turn the pages fast enough while on the edge of my seat. It has exciting twists and turns, intrigue, adventure, danger, romance, amnesia, and surprises with Christian faith portrayed in forgiveness. The characters both have strained pasts, have amazing chemistry and are well developed. They have fantastic interactions with great secondary characters in this exciting realistic adventure that I voluntarily read and reviewed. Wonderfully narrated story.
Oh my gosh, I just finished Lost Memories and New Beginnings by Lorana Hoopes. Wow! I’m not usually that into a lot of suspense stories but this new series is sooooo good. It’s the story of Tia and Dr. Brody Cavanaugh. They meet so to speak because she was in a horrific wreck down from the opening of a new restaurant Brody was at. You need to read the first book in the series to learn more about that. Tia is badly injured and has amnesia.
They both have pasts, he is still missing his deceased wife. Tia learns stuff as she starts to remember her past she’s not to thrilled about. It’s a story of how God can and will heal us and help us learn to let go of our past. His forgiveness and loving us no matter what. I’m guilty, I read this book in about a 24 hour span, it was that good. Now I can’t wait for the next one. There’s always a little tease at the end to give you a glimpse of what’s to come next. There are ah ha moments to from other of Lorana’s books and characters. Read, enjoy, blessings.
What an amazing story. It had me on the edge of my seat through the whole story! What amazing characters. There’s adventure, there’s romance and there’s a beautiful message of redemption and God’s grace; giving us a second chance through forgiveness.
A fascinating story, with suspense, intrigue—and, romance!
This book begins suddenly, reading the thoughts going through an unknown woman’s head, and her realization that she needed to get away from the house and the men quarreling in the other room. She runs out, leaving her purse, and leaves in her car; and things turn worse. She awakes in a hospital, with no recollection of what happened, nor knowing her own name! Dr. Brody Cavanaugh is close to the scene, when someone runs in asking if anyone is a doctor and he responds. He waits until the firemen can cut a woman free from the crumpled car, wondering what happened; but knowing he needs to help. A witness said she was broadsided by a black truck, which left the scene, immediately after hitting her car. Author Lorana Hoopes creates a book you will likely read all night to finish, if that’s what it takes! Lots of twists and turns, and you won’t easily figure out who did what, until at least close to the end.
This was a very enjoyable read. The mystery was good and didn’t get wrapped up too quickly. The romance was good and hopefully we’ll get to see more of them in another book. Loved the characters and how they all fit together. You can’t go wrong with a group of doctors, firefighters, police officers and paramedics. Throw in a romance writer and all bets are off! Looking forward to the next in this series.
I received a free copy of this book and voluntarily chose to review it.
Lost Memories and New Beginnings is the second great book in the Men of Fire Beach Series.
Have you ever looked back at your life and wanted a do-over?
Tia finds herself in this position after losing her memory in an accident. Written with real flaws and insecurities, I found that I liked Tia. She is a woman willing to take an honest look at where her life has placed her, and make the changes necessary to be who she wants to be.
Brody lost his wife to cancer and hasn’t dated since. Now he finds himself drawn to the woman who lost her memory in an accident, but as he learns more about her his heart wars with his questions about who she really is. He is the perfect doctor crush.
Throw in a murderer on the loose, a re-visit with some old friends, sweet attraction, and you have a romantic suspense you can’t put down.
I received an ARC of this book courtesy of the author. This is my honest review.
