Never live your life the way your loved ones want you to. Live your life the way you want to.Melanie Gordon has been working hard for the promotion she'd landed as Regional Talent Acquisition Manager but the position is not in San Francisco, CA but back home in Cleveland, OH. But just when she had only four weeks left before the move, something awesome happens. All along, she'd been going out with this wonderful man as friends, but when they went to celebrate this promotion, well, something happens.Raine Mason has opened a non-profit organization for troubled males and it has been very successful. Sure, the first time he asked Melanie out, he made it a point to say it was a non-date. Yet deep down inside, he knew differently, that he liked her more than just as friends. If he didn't make the first move now that she was leaving, she would never know how he felt about her. And so he did.But he's holding back a very dark secret, and if he doesn't say something, it might ruin his chance with the person he loves. Sure, he is a new person now, but what if Melanie is not able to look pass that one big secret, the one that is inked into his skin?MAKING THE FIRST MOVE is written in Melanie's point of view. It has a good pace and is wonderfully written. I loved the characters and the storyline. The emotions run deep and it's painful to see what Melanie has gone through. The sparks fly between Melanie and Raine, and it was wonderful to see their chemistry. I also loved watching Melanie reconnect with her mom and her two sisters.I recommend this love story for an any time read. Thanks, Ms. Ryan, I look forward to reading more of your books.Reviewed by CozyReaderfor TheRomanceReviews.com
