Love Lost starts out with Rayna Brimm as a teenager in the projects of New Jersey.  She survives her father walking away, her mother's drug use, and her brother's incarceration.  She attends college in North Carolina, never looking back to her life in Jersey.  Rayna and her best friend move to California after college.  Throughout it all, she has several disastrous encounters with men and learns not to trust them.  Rayna then meets Azmir Jacobs a wealthy man that has many facets to his life.  He is a business man with street smarts.  This is the story of the beginning of their relationship.I really liked this book.  I loved the interactions between the characters.  My heart broke for Rayna and all the hardship she experienced as a teenager.  I loved Rayna's ability to overcome so many disappointments.  I also liked her loyalty to her brother.  Then we have Azmir.  I'm still not sure what I think of him.  I hate the man-hoes.  I do like that he was at a stage in his life that he was thinking of settling down.  I don't like that he kept testing Rayna.  I wasn't sure what to think of Rayna and Azmir's relationship.  They were interested in each other but didn't communicate regularly.  I found Love Lost to be well written and easy to read.  I can't wait to read more to see how Rayna and Azmir's relationship progresses.
