Here and Now Books in Order

Here and Now is a three-book contemporary romance trilogy set in Lexi Ryan's New Hope universe. Unlike her standalone-couple series, these novels tell one continuing story about Hanna, a woman who wakes after an accident with a year of memories missing. The books must be read in order because the central mystery, love triangle, and emotional consequences build from one installment to the next.

Lost in Me begins with Hanna trying to understand a life that no longer feels like hers. The last thing she remembers is having a crush on Maximilian Hallowell. Now she has lost weight, started a business, and is wearing an engagement ring from Max, even though she does not remember dating him. Then she learns there is another important figure in the blank space: Nate Crane, a tattooed rock musician who clearly knows more about her missing year than he wants to say.

Nothing about the new life is simple.

Hanna has to decide whether the future she always wanted is truly hers, or whether it is built on secrets she has not recovered yet. Max represents security, history, and the dream she thought she wanted. Nate represents a relationship she cannot remember but feels in ways that are hard to ignore. The series keeps the focus on Hanna's agency, even as her memory loss leaves her dependent on other people's versions of the past.

In Fall to You, pieces of Hanna's memory begin returning, but clarity creates more pain rather than less. She must face what happened with Max and Nate, what she chose before the accident, and whether either man can be trusted now. All for This brings the trilogy to its conclusion as Hanna deals with the repercussions of a decision she cannot remember making.

The setting connects to earlier New Hope characters, including Hanna's family and friends, so readers of Unbreak Me and Wish I May will recognize familiar faces. Still, the main plot is Hanna's, and the emotional engine is the collision between memory, desire, guilt, and truth.

Expect a higher-angst romance than Ryan's standalone small-town books. There are shifting perspectives, secrets, and a love triangle that is integral to the story rather than a quick detour. The mood is emotional and suspenseful, with romantic tension tied closely to the mystery of Hanna's missing year.

Start with Lost in Me, continue with Fall to You, and finish with All for This. Starting anywhere else will reveal major developments before the setup has had time to land.
