Review / Release Blitz: His Lost Love (Manhattan Billionaires #1) by Ava Ryan

His Lost Love by Ava Ryan is now live!
I can buy and sell half the country... but I can't afford to lose her a second time.

I made my name fixing hearts.
Most people know me as a world-class cardiac surgeon.
Even more know the device I invented that made billions while saving lives.
I've achieved success beyond my wildest dreams--and I've always dreamed big.
Funny how the one heart I can't put back together is my own.

That's why I've returned to New York.
More accurately--she's why.
In the fashion world, Mia has arrived. But to me, she'll always be the one who got away.

Back in college, she claimed she loved me.
Then she ripped my heart to shreds.
Now I can have anything I want. Any toy. Any woman.
And what I want is her--out of my system. This time, I plan to be the one leaving.
They say revenge is best served cold, but once Mia is back in my bed?

It may be too hot to walk away from...

MY REVIEW
When Mia sees her first and only love at her brother's housewarming party, let's just say she's less than thrilled, both with her brother for inviting Liam, and with the situation in general. After Liam tore her heart out by cheating on her, she thought she had moved on and gotten over him. But with him so intent on being in her space for some reason, the chemistry they've always had overwhelms her and the one thing that shouldn't happen, does. Oh well, she can just use him for sex, right? Wrong...

Liam knew Mia would be at Michael's housewarming, that's why he's crashed even though Michael didn't actually invite him. He has to get into Mia's space again and try to get her out of his mind, the place she's never left since they ended so disastrously over a decade ago. Will she welcome his persistent doggedness, or shut him down?

I wanted to love this story because normally second chances are my jam, unfortunately, I just couldn't get into it. I guess the reason why is because I didn't like Liam. He practically stalked Mia, even though she told him to leave her alone more than once. In this day and age, behavior like this is even more concerning. And his anger at her, conveniently sidestepping his own part in their breakup, sets off more than one red flag in my mind. I have my doubts that a cheater will ever be anything but a cheater, and his stalkerish behavior combine with that into making a very unlikable character in my eyes. I did like Mia, though, and she saves this from a lower rating.

You TV series

Wow, hubby and I watched You on Lifetime last night. It was creepy and suspenseful. Hubby likened it to Dexter , and I have to agree. Penn Badgley was on point - creepy, stalkery, but fascinating. I didn't think too much of Elizabeth Lail's acting, but I'm not sure if it was just that her character was bland, or if it was truly bad acting. Can't wait for next week!
