I'm not even sure how to start this review without a spoiler or two, because the beginning of the book unfolds slowly and tantalizingly and without a lot of warning the reader gets sucked into a situation that is hard to feature and startling.Diane Adams creates such vivid characters and near-impossible situations, I just fell right into the incredible story that is Gage's life without question, even though my heart was broken for him.and Trent, the guy who takes a side road to work one day and gives him a ride.  I never once thought about yelling "what were you thinking?" at Gage -- only at his parents and wondering where they were for him when he really needed them.  For such things to happen to someone so young is almost inconceivable in this day and age, and for him to take so much responsibility upon himself is even harder to believe.  Yet Gage does, and the author makes it believable and even heart-warming.  And into this maelstrom comes the handsome city slicker, Trent, who quite against his will and better judgment becomes involved with Gage.Last First Kiss pushed all the right buttons for me.  Two very different men meeting under unlikely circumstances, becoming friends, learning to like each other even as a strong attraction simmers between them (great build-up of sexual tension;)  darling little boys, a seemingly insurmountable situation, a scary misunderstanding when all seems lost, and a surprising twist which saves the day.I won't say more, except that the writing is superb, characterization brilliant, story and plot intriguing and inspired, and two adorable little boys (did I say that?  not fair, Diane!)  makes this a book worth hunkering down with on a cold winter's day.  You'll warm up fast and for all the right reasons.
