Rating:  Summary: Winner of the WordWeaving Award of Excellence Review: When he finds an urn at the side of the road, Mitch Valetti feels as if he's been given renewed purpose in life. He lost the woman he'd previously dated to another man. His best friend and ex-partner just married a woman and they are adopting quadruplets. In addition, he's still recovering from injuries received in the line of duty, and that brush with death has caused him to completely reevaluate his priorities. He's retired from the force and turned to ranching full time, taking small jobs as an investigator on the side. The tragic urn piques his imagination, luring him with its sad untold story.Fleeing the men who seek her, Gillian randomly turns down a country lane. When she blows a tire, she stops to change it; not realizing that's she's leaving one of her suitcases behind. In that suitcase is her daughter Katie's urn inscribed with a single date, 11-18-00. She refuses to just leave the urn behind, choosing to stay in the small town until she's done everything possible to find her daughter's urn. Concerned for her dwindling funds, Katie rents a room for a few weeks and takes a waitress job until she locates the urn. She meets Mitch while waiting tables, and their connection is immediate. Later Gillian learns that the road where she lost her suitcase also leads to Mitch's ranch. Since her only sighting of the thugs following her occurred on the same lane, Gillian believes there might be a connection between the killers and Mitch. Despite her concern for Mitch's possible connection to the killers, his presence makes her feel safe for the first time since her ex-husband was gunned down. When she realizes he has Katie's urn, Gillian's not certain she can trust him with the truth -- or the much bigger secrets that threaten her life. Roz Denny Fox once again pens absolutely memorable romance in LOST BUT NOT FORGOTTEN. Readers who loved THE BABY COP will adore her newest release. Fox gracefully works previously loved characters into the narrative without slowing its pace in the slightest. Further, her fabulous knack for the unexpected gives this novel a startling beginning that grabs the reader's attention with the first line, and doesn't let go until the last. Indeed, Fox has a marvelous talent for creating gripping plots and dazzling characters, making her one of Superromances hottest stars. Very highly recommended.
