Title: Losers Weepers (Lost and Found, #4)
If we didn’t know darkness, we couldn’t fully appreciate the light.
Garth Black’s more familiar with this concept than most people are. He hadn’t just lived in the dark for the majority of his life—he thrived in it. With a mom who’d bailed on him and a dad whose understanding of coddling started and ended with a bottle of whiskey, Garth had never been expected to rise to any sort of occasion other than following down the same dead-end paths.
That changed when he fell in love with Josie Gibson. After years of pulling each other closer before shoving the other way, they finally stopped shoving. Josie’s love is like nothing Garth’s ever experienced. He holds it close. He holds it sacred. He would do anything to preserve it and keep it from pollution, even if that means removing himself from the picture.
Garth might have been allowed a temporary furlough to bask in the light, but that pass has been revoked, and he’s been swallowed again by the dark. Will he revert to his old ways of hurting those he cares for most? Will he go back to the same destructive patterns . . . or will it be worse this time?
We can’t know light without first knowing dark . . . and Garth Black’s about to get acquainted with the dark in a whole new way.

To be honest if I didn't read this book I wouldn't miss much. I'm not saying that I didn't like it, but it was a bit redundant. In the end it got to almost the exact place where it originally started.
Once again I was glad that it was told only from Garth's POV.
It starts couple of months after Finders Keepers ended. Josie's and Garth's relatinship seems to be stronger than ever - they bought their own ranch and they are saving for their own cattle.
Garth is riding bulls and lately he's been doing really well. Earned a lot of money and even qualified to the nationals. But once second of being unconcentrated changed everything.
When he woke up in a hospital he couldn't feel anything from the neck down. The doctors weren't sure if he would ever regain his mobility or stay like this forever.
Garth started to fall deeper and deeper inside of his head, pushing everyone away. Fortunately Josie is just as stubborn as he is. But even she might get tired of fighting him and trying to bring down the wall he build around himself.
The whole story was kind of predictable. I knew what will happen in the end from the beginning and some part were cliché. If I didn't know thatNicole Williams can write better and more exciting books I'd have enjoyed this more, I think. But since I know that she can write mindblowing stories, this just didn't reach the level the previous books had.
There was a lot of going back and forth, lot of whining and inner drama. Garth deserved to be smacked. He was so depressing and behaved like a little girl. I know that he's been through a lot and it must have been hard but he was rude and nasty to people only trying to help him. He didn't even want to stay in the hospital for more than a day afer he woke up unresponsive.
I started to like Josie a bit more but she and I still hadn't made that connection that would make me want to root for her. I'm okay with her, I tolerate her but that's it.
In the end Garth pulled up his head from his ass and realized that he was behaving even more like an asshole than usual. If I were Josie I'd have made him grovel more, but that's none of my bussiness.
Overall, it wasn't bad and it also wasn't excellent. It was alright. Didn't make me regret I read it but the change that I'll read it again is really low.
