Such a cute book!
I got sucked into this book from the beginning and I loved every part of it. This is a really sweet, funny, well-written new adult romance. It’s great for summer reads.
Anabel is young student, au pair working in the USA and she is lost in this world. She wants to find herself. William is professional football player, gentleman and Mr. Handsome.

Today, I'm writing about Lost & Found, a debut new adult novel, and the number one in New York Knights series by Croatian indie author Anna B.Doe.
Anna created a story about growing up and maturing, about the struggles and questions that all of us who lived a college life could relate to, sooner or later. Who am I? What am I? What do I want to be? Who will I disappoint? Is it all worth it?

The book has a potential but... OMG Anabel went on my nerves with stubbornness.. The narration style as well as the writing is perfect but side characters are more interesing than main ones.

After passing her final exam and getting a degree in English, life should be all sunshine and song for Anabel Majer, young Croatian student, but it seems far from it while she sits on a bench in front of her university. Should she continue with school? Or get a job? Or something completely different? It seems like there's no solution that would put a smile on her face. But a simple phone call changes it all – her best friend has the perfect solution. So Anabel opts fot something else – she decid

An Au Pair girl and a Football Star! I love unlikely romances so I was happy to give this one a go.
Anabel is somewhat lost and drifting after school so she agrees to a new opportunity to leave home and travel to America for a job. Will Price is a star athlete and determined to help his team win the Superbowl. He's all in and ready to try for romance when he meets Anabel, but unfortunately, she's skittish and confused so he has his work cut out for him.

This was a cute sports romance. Anabel was an au pair from Croatia when she met hot quarterback William. She didn't even know who he was. The minute William ran into her he knew he wanted her.
William didn't stop at nothing in trying to win her over. Anabel was worn down and eventually stop fighting her attraction. He was all alpha and hot and she was good.

I really enjoyed reading Lost and Found by Anna B. Doe. The drama was so different than other romance novels that I have come across. The complexity was intense. I was always wondering what Anabel was thinking when she did her best to push William away.

A wonderful story about how you lose yourself to find yourself. Anabel Majer moved to a foreign country leaving her home and putting college on hold. Ms. Doe did a great job taking you on the journey with Bel where she found love and friendship while finding herself. William Price was the jock without the attitude. He was dedicated to his football career but felt deeply. One bump into a stranger and bam! I loved the story, but something about the ...more

Pet peeve
The book is a nice story between William and Anabel. No complaints in terms of that. However, I have a specific pet peeve in books and it’s how children’s dialogue is written. Ivy is five. Five. Somehow she is mature enough to correctly use words like “famous” and “autograph.” It makes me wonder how much time authors spend with kids. It’s not that a little girl wouldn’t necessarily know famous, but the use of the word and connecting it to requesting an autograph on her shirt if he can’t ...more

I really loved reading this one. It has a different kind of story-line. Will is a football player and Anabel is au pair working in the US. Anabel is sweet and nice. Will is sweet and patient with Anabel. They have an instant connection but their romance is a slow burn one. Anabel is a game changer for Will. At points I was a little frustrated with them. Anabel is hot and cold but Will still tries to catch her. I really liked some of the side characters too. Sienna is super nice and I can't wait

This books had many things that I go for in a book. I love a good romance, especially when it involves sports, and especially football. The characters fell for each other, but it wasn't inst-love (I'm generally not a fan of that). William was such a perfect example of what I look for in stories, as well. I liked Annabel a lot, although she was wishy-washy at times too (but such is the prerogative of women!).

Romeo and Juliet !!!
This story is one that could have been any one of us. The feeling of not belonging to any place or time. Money and fame is not always the answer, I was on the edge of my seat in this romantic-drama. Anabel and William's story is one of those love story that keep you wishing for a series 😎or a second book. It is a modern-day Romeo and Juliet story without the dying plot.

I loved the whole story, I was even for team William and aching when ever he was dismissed by Anabel. And when they finally made it together...just loved it.
I love sport romances and William Price is at first a tipycal jock, tall, sexy, muscles, tatoos. But when she run into him his world is all about her. And his nerves are made from steel ❤.

I love how the whole storyline has been portrayed. The story makes sure you stay on the edge of your seat. Such a gripping, nail biting read that will leave you wanting to turn those pages till you have devoured the entire book. It will definitely leave you wanting to one click all of this authors books. I'm going to be keeping my eye on this one for sure. I hope you all love the book as much as I did. Good read

William and Anabel’s story made me believe in the old saying “love will conquer all”. They had so many hurdles to tackle and the path that they were on helped them to find each other.

I liked the story and their carachters, however, I do think that Anabel exagerated quite a bit. It's not like Croatia is that far away and especially since William is a famous, rich athlete, there should be no problems in them seeing each other again. There are many long distance relationships happening in the world.

I have loved every book I have read by Doe, and Lost and Found is no different. Anabel is a Croatian girl who is lost and needs to find herself. In her venture, she heads to the United States to become an Au Pair for a family. Although Anabel seems hesitant in some parts of her life, she is very outgoing in others. She makes friends easily and is excellent at whatever she puts her heart into. I loved this character’s bravery and humbleness. However, when it comes to love I wanted to bop her on t
