Review: First Love
Rating: 4 out of 5
Date: 04 22, 2014
First read for me by this author. This is a contemporary novel, it's not full of sex scenes but it was at times an emotional read that I really enjoyed.Jules is 43, divorced with a  17 year old daughter. She inherited a book store from her mother and lives in her mothers house. The book starts in January, a month that brings back sad memories for Jules. The story takes place over a week or so. 26 years ago Jules and her fiancé Noah had a decision made for them that was not their choice. Heartbroken, Noah left and Jules has not seen him since...that is until Noah returns home out of the blue but with a pretty fiancé in tow.The chemistry between Jules and Noah is strong. It seems everywhere Jules goes Noah is there. A lot of emotions come to the surface and a secret comes out. I must admit the storyline is very predictable but it didn't spoil my enjoyment. I liked Noah and although we only get Jules' POV, I wished the author had told us more about Noah's life away from Jules. Also, I would have liked an epilogue but it seems the authors next book is set in the same town and in the teaser at the end of this book Jules is mentioned so I'm hoping in that book we read more about how Jules and Noah are getting on.I have looked at the authors other books but it seems they are all about similar age women with a teenage daughter and a first love from two decades ago! I must admit that has put me off slightly that she seems to write the same theme but then this one worked for me so I will possibly check the others out and notice a Novella of hers is currently free on Amazon.If you like emotional stories about first loves reunited then you will enjoy this.ARC provided by Netgalley.
