BLURB
Kyle isn’t a victim… he’s a survivor who needs to learn his worth.An omega who’s narrowly escaped an abusive relationship seeks shelter with his flirty friend and boss…
After low self-esteem sent Kyle into the arms of the wrong alpha—a cop with a Napoleon complex—he finds himself in an untenable situation that quickly escalates from bad to worse. After his relationship ends in the worst way imaginable, his boss takes him in, giving him a safe harbor and a friendly shoulder to lean on.
… an alpha with a gentle spirit and a heart of gold.
Dallas has longed for a family of his own, and he’s had his eye on the tall, thick omega with the sweet nature and juicy… smile. After Kyle repeatedly turned him down for dinner dates and got into a bad relationship, Dallas backed off but couldn’t quit flirting with his friend/employee. He’d never have interrupted another person’s relationship, but darn it, he saw Kyle first! Besides, what’s a little flirtation between friends?
Two men who are meant to be together but have a long road to get there.
Dallas knows that Kyle doesn’t need another bossy alpha. He needs to find his own inner warrior and make peace with himself before they can be more than friends.
Kyle is so obsessed with the size of his waist, that he almost misses his shot with the one alpha who will love him unconditionally in addition to being his best friend.
A simple bet about getting fit can offer huge rewards in the heart department. But how his Kyle supposed to decrease his waistline and get that six-pack he’s always wanted if he finds himself pregnant?

REVIEW
My Rating - 4 Stars!
Lost in Dallas is a terrific mpreg romance in which Susi Hawke will leave you feeling deeply satisfied.
Kyle is in the relationship from hell, as Frank abuses him, forces himself on him, and controls everything he does. So what is he supposed to do when he catches Kyle cheating on him?
Luckily Kyle works for Dallas and is well respected by his boss. As Dallas has already stood up for Kyle against some co-workers, has started helping him to get in better shape, he is instantly willing to help out upon learing that Kyle has been beaten.
From there, they start on a journey full of highs and lows, as well as some "heat."
I fell hard for Dallas, as he is kind, caring, and an all around decent guy. The way in which he treats Dallas is full of consideration and compassion, showing us what an outstanding man he really is.
And Kyle, poor Kyle. It is not easy to read about what he's put up with from Frank. He's been beaten, controlled, belittled and degraded. It isn't easy for him to have any faith in himself, but Dallas is not going to stop trying to show him what a good and talented man Kyle really is.
Kyle's type of abuse is all too common and it was written with a lot of knowledge, understanding and care. I applaud Susi Hawke for the realistic manner in which she presented Kyle.
Lost In Dallas, which picks up after Found In Beaumont, book 1, is written in the same wonderful world as Beaumont. We are treated to reading about the boys from Beaumont often, including some new characters who we can't wait to read about in future books.
This series by Susi Hawke is so much fun as well as being filled with some deep and tough subjects. Lost In Dallas drew me right in and I enjoyed every minute of it!

Found In Beaumont, Lone Star Brother #1
(both can be read as a standalone, but are even more fun when read in order!)
