4.5 out of 5 stars 178 ratings
She is the only one who can tell the police who attacked her in her home. If only she could remember …Summer Velasquez is on the run from a man she has no recollection of after an attack she can’t recall. Every face in the crowd is a potential suspect, so how is Summer supposed to know who is a threat to her and who isn’t? After fleeing her assailant and the parents who lied to her about what happened, she changes her name and seeks refuge in Elora, Ontario. The small town feels familiar, although she has no memory of ever having been here. Even in what should be a safe place, she can’t shake the feeling that she is being watched. When Ryan Taylor strolls into the Taste of Heaven Café where she works, Summer is immediately drawn to him. However, he may not be who he says he is either. As her suspicions grow, Summer prepares to run again. But at least one person is determined to stop her. Permanently. And if she can’t remember who he is, this time he may succeed.

Fans of edge-of-your-seat twists and turns, enduring love, and deep questions of faith will love this Carol-Award winning romantic suspense by multi-award-winning author Sara Davison.

    From The Mosaic Collection comes author Sara Davison’s Lost Down Deep, the first in her series, The Rose Trilogy. An excellent read that has left me eager for the next installment.

    Waking up in a hospital, Summer Velasquez has no memory of being severely beaten nor who invaded her home leaving her in a crumpled heap at the base of her stairs. Worse, she has no memory of her life for the three years prior and her parents, controlling and restrictive, are determined she come home with them where she will be safe from further. Summer has no intention of going back to the restrictive atmosphere in her parents and carefully plans her escape from her hospital.

    Once escape proves successful, Summer heads out to find a small town where she can hide, where she can feel safe. Renting a room from an older woman, who soon becomes a true friend, Summer seeks employment. Knowing she worked as a waitress in college, she sets out but place after place turn her down; drawn into a small bakery and coffee shop, Summer ends up with a job she will soon love. Despite her successes, Summer just cannot shake the feeling of being watched

    When Ryan Taylor comes into the cafe, she is attracted to the handsome man, feeling a connection she can’t quite put her finger. With his daily visits to the cafe’, Summer finds herself letting her guard down just a little bit, letting him in until self preservation steps in and she again plans to go on the run.

    Ryan Taylor isn’t who he purports himself to be and there is reason why Summer feels a connection, but he isn’t the only one watching Summer. So who is after Summer Velasquez, and more importantly, why?

    I received a complimentary copy of this book from the publisher and am under no obligation to write a positive review. All thoughts and opinions therein are solely my own, and freely given.

    The suspense begins on the very first page of this page-turner when Summer Velasquez is attacked in her own home. When she finally wakes up in a hospital bed, she has no short-term memory and soon discovers her own parents are hiding the truth from her. Unaware of her attacker’s motive or identity, she changes her name and seeks refuge in a small town outside Toronto. Can she trust the kindness of a man she has just met and is falling for fast? Who do we, as readers, believe? Faith, forgiveness, and a web of deceit—romantic suspense fans will be riveted until the very end!

    I really got caught up in this story, so much that I read it in two nights, staying up until past one the last night to finish it. I cannot imagine losing my memory. And how strange it would be to remember how to do things like drive, and cook, and how to use the Internet, but not know who you are. And if someone was after you, how would you know you weren't talking to the very person who was out to kill you? 

    And if you were in love with Summer and you followed her to the small town where she ends up, how would you approach her? Especially if the last time you were together you had a terrible argument. That's the predicament that Ryan finds himself in. He fears if she discovers the truth, she'll run again and he won't be able to protect her. One lie leads to another until his house of cards is blown away when she discovers the truth. 

    I enjoyed watching Ryan as he worked through the guilt of leaving his family after he felt he was responsible for the death of his younger sister. Davison skillfully worked the threads of faith through the story in a natural way. I think readers of romantic suspense will enjoy this fast-paced story of intrigue with a touch of romance.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Intriguing!
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 5, 2020
    Verified Purchase
    An intriguing story combining suspense, romance and faith. I was drawn into the book immediately with the very first sentence "The house should have been completely quiet." The first chapter does not disappoint as the scene is set with an unknown intruder attacking Summer, pushing her down the stairs and using her blood to leave a message.
    Several different strands of suspense are soon outlined in the first few chapters which add to the intrigue. Why is Summer "the message" and why have her parents not been truthful about her accident? Who is the man in the alley and why has he got a tracking device on Summer's phone? When will Summer's memory return? Why has yet another man followed Summer to Elora? Are these characters watching out for Summer or are they dangerous? Then there are the mysterious cigarette butts that Summer keeps finding.
    I loved the setting of the book in the lovely town of Elora with its Taste of Heaven Bakery and I can just imagine sitting in the cafe enjoying the tastes and smells of Shawn's amazing baked goods! Nancy and Daphne were charming supporting characters and the Christian message of faith and forgiveness was naturally woven into the story.
    Lost Down Deep was a very enjoyable read and kept me guessing to the end. Well done Sara Davison on another wonderful book!

    5.0 out of 5 stars More than just romantic suspense
    Reviewed in Canada on May 15, 2020

    Starting with trauma, the way Lost Down Deep did, is a gripping way to hook readers into a story. We've got to see how things work out for Summer, about whom there are so many conundrums. (Who would do a young woman such harm and why? Why does she have a gun in her bedroom and how is she able to fight back as she does? Who are the devious characters who pursue her?) The answers gradually come to readers, as they do to Summer herself, in a story woven of simple pleasures and loving characters, interspersed with twinges of danger and elusive questions. In finding her way -- a home, a job, friendship, and falling in love, Summer and the leading man face challenges from the past as well as their own regrets and failures. It all leads to an edge-of-your-seat ending that satisfies.
    What's absorbing about this book is the question of what remains in Summer's heart and mind after a brain injury. Amnesia stories fascinate us because they touch on questions of what makes up the human psyche, nature vs. nurture. Are we merely the sum total of our memories so that without them we are a blank slate? Are love and relationships a fluke once-only occurrence, or would we come to love the same person even in different circumstances?
    Lost Down Deep explores these questions and I found that the unique way it presents the human spirit and its capacity to know and love God as transcending memory and mental capacity was thoughtful and compelling. It was particularly poignant and apropos, I thought, when a non-believing character challenged the leading man's inability to "forgive himself" for wronging his family. This is a mistaken trope that Christians need to stop perpetrating. How encouraging to find an author willing to discredit the notion that we must forgive ourselves and rather to present the truth that we must content ourselves with God's powerful forgiveness.
    If you like romance and suspense, this is a great, fast-moving read. If you like a story that speaks to what's beneath the surface, exploring deeper questions, look no further than Davison's writing.

    Honestly this is the first of her books that i have read and it was really good. Some of the simple yet profound ways she manages to drop God's truths into the story are very well done. They speak to the heart and the story keeps you on your toes guessing. Would really recommend it.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Mesmerizing!
    Reviewed in Canada on April 10, 2020

    A real-life friend of mine, who’d suffered and largely recovered from amnesia due to a head injury, told me that, upon waking from her coma, her husband of many years was a complete stranger to her. So I picked up Sara Davison’s novel Lost Down Deep with a bias and a certain personal fascination. Davison immediately engaged me with her subject matter and her gripping, action-filled opening, followed by tension that just did not let up.

    Lost Down Deep is an excellent read all the way through. The fully orbed characters are revealed clearly but progressively, with just enough of their personalities and histories shown at one time to carry the reader through to the next level of plot—which itself is multilayered, complex, and mesmerizing in its entangled relationships, extreme motivations, and sizzling but clean romance. Sensory details perfectly combine with narrative, dialogue, motivation—all tied together with Davison’s impeccable timing. This author knows how to write!

    As amazing and moving as the storytelling techniques are, the meaning beneath the fiction is exponentially redemptive, and I found myself weeping several times as the implications of Lost Down Deep touched my heart. I love how Davison introduces the idea of Christian faith through her main character’s spiritual urge to pray when her life is completely confused; this fairly early scene sets the stage for increasing development of the abiding love of Christ that Davison writes so naturally and believably into her story world. No simple Sunday school read, Lost Down Deep shows a depth of maturity that allows for questions such as: Where is the line between lying to and protecting someone? Is God’s love and faithfulness dependent on one’s memory of or conscious agreement to it? To what lengths would I myself go in sacrificing for the sake of Christ and others?

    Get this book.
