  LOST IN SOMEONE Calston Cove - Book Two by JJ Harper Release Date: May 28, 2024 Review I’m a sucker for this series with it’s gorgeous setting and touching men. I love hurt/comfort themes, and JJ has given us that in spades. The series is made up of flawed human beings who are wonderful but also mess up, hurt the ones they love and are constantly learning and changing. I adored both men. They both had such strength, it’s just that they were also experiencing turmoil in their lives. They were tender and sexy, and their connection was strong. And though there was uncertainty, it was also clear they had something worth protecting. It’s a beautiful series, and I really want to move to this town.
