This and more reviews at The Book Bar.coThis story seemed deep and physiological from the prologue. I don't normally highlight towards the beginning but one passage was just so thought provoking, I had to quote it.Elevators, in most hospitals, are extremely frightening machinery. It holds those seconds you still have before your life changes forever. For some, it’s good news as soon as you step off the elevator. For the unfortunate, you wish you can stay in until your fate has changed from outside.Phalla S. Rios. Not at First (Kindle Locations 73-75). Phalla S. Rios.Not at First is the classic love triangle between misfortunate girl, protective boy and wealthy, commanding man. Angel has been dealt a heavy hand and bears responsibility for the loss of her father. Kevin falls for his pretty lab partner and wants to protect her. Roman has power and money and keeps a short leash on his woman. There is a good struggle between what feels good and what is right. Character development and scene description was great but there were lots of glaring problems. Lots of misspellings and complete scenarios were left out. I don't know if the author thought that the reader knew what was assumed by the characters, but I was flipping back and forth between pages thinking I missed a connection between statements. The book just ends with a broad statement which left me wondering if it was meant to be a cliff hanger or just a conclusion.I read this story fast only because I wanted to know what Angel's issue was.  Why can't she clearly see what the bad choice is?  Why is she becoming a character I want to hate?  Rios does put a "connect the dots" section in towards the end, but you are still left with lots of questions.There is a follow up, Always at First (Not at First, #2) , but this blurb will spoil the first book so don't read it unless you read Not At First prior.
