In Nobody’s Lost by Kallypso Masters, Megan Gallagher, half-sister to Adam Montague, finds herself the victim of a robbery. When she tells Adam about it, Adam calls Ryder Wilson, one of his Marines to check on Megan. Ryder is struggling with PTSD and has retreated from society, preferring to live in isolation. When Adam calls though, Ryder is unable to tell his former sergeant no, so he heads out for Megan’s place. Both are immediately attracted to each other but with Ryder struggling with PTSD, can they find love?
Like some fans, I was disappointed to hear that this would be the next book in the series instead of Luke and Cassie. One thing I have learned from following authors on Facebook, is that sometimes characters won’t shut up and demand to have their story told. Obviously it was time for Megan and Ryder to have their story told.
One of the things I love about this series is how Masters writes about her warriors. None of them are the perfect knight in shining armor coming to rescue the damsel in distress. Many of them have returned from war physically and emotionally scarred.
As with all novellas, the story had a quicker buildup than a traditional novel and startled me at first. I quickly realized it was indeed a novella and was able to just enjoy the fun story for what it was.

The first day Cassie is gone, Trevor immerses himself on a case for the NSA but once that is done, he suddenly misses his wife even more acutely. Everything in their home reminds him of her. He can’t look out the window without thinking of her. He can’t go to their favorite pub without missing her companionship. Trevor is just miserable. A late night commercial on TV gives him an idea and Cassie finds herself on the receiving end of some steamy international texts.
Call On Me is the eighth book in the Loving on the Edge series. However, this can definitely be read as a stand alone. It takes a few moments to work out who is who among Pike’s friends but it doesn’t detract from the story at all. And oh my goodness! What a story it is! I started this book two nights ago and simply couldn’t put it down. I simply had to know what happened next in the story.
