First Position is a story about rekindling a long lost love. Emory and Mason were college sweethearts. Circumstances and challenges broke them up, and coincidence brought them back together.Emory runs into Mason on a chance meeting after six long years apart. She never stopped loving him. Their relationship came to an end when Mason chose his football career over trying to work together to let both of their careers take place. And it seems, that even though Mason had married after his breakup with Emory, he never stopped loving her either.Throughout the story, the details of how Mason and Emory's break up come to light. Mason, coming off a terrible injury that is threatening his quarterback position in the NFL is working his way through new contract negotiations and divorce. Emory is still battling demons from her past. They both are keeping secrets from the other in order to try to help them move forward in a new relationship.The love and passion between Emory and Mason was clearly evident. My heart broke for each of them as the secrets were revealed. The pain that Emory carried inside for so long by herself was heart wrenching. Then to see the possibility of Mason and Emory not make it was horrible.I was pulling for them the entire time. I wanted them to face the past, look to the future and make a life together. Their family and friends were an amazing support system for them. Wesley, Emory's gay best friend and Stephen, Mason's brother played huge roles in the storyline to tell the different perspectives of what was going on.I enjoyed reading First Position. I thought the characters were endearing and heartfelt. The emotions and love were clearly evident. I felt that I was able to really get a sense of what each of the characters were feeling throughout the book.
