Josh and Caitlyn 's
relationship started off hot and it most definitely stayed steamy. This story
is typically about friends with benefits and then someone falls in love. Can
you guess who fell first.?
Springtime is a time
for new beginnings and Eternity Springs is the place where Josh is looking for
a fresh start. The First Kiss of Spring
is a small town love story about love, forgiveness, and courage. We have Caitlyn a small town girl turned city
girl who comes to visit a small town in Colorado when she meets this smoldering
hot man named Josh and his adorable crippled dog. Their first meeting finds them trapped on
a gondola, in midair of course, and they
hit it off in a major way. Caitlyn
invites Josh as her plus one to her college friend's wedding and the story
takes off. Caitlyn thinks Josh is the
one, but Josh feels differently. Caitlyn
is on a mission to prove to Josh that love exists and he should believe in it.
With a tight knit community to throw is some gossip, an overprotective father,
and a troubled past, Josh and Caitlyn crawl through the muck to come up
unscathed on the other side.
Josh was sweet and
he had that super hero complex to him with a dash of broodiness, if that's a
word. Josh has this weird thing about fate having it out for him and that is
why he refuses to get involved in a committed relationship. I really felt for
Josh, his past, and his relationship with his mother. I like Joshua because his character had depth
and his journal entries really gave me a peep into his previous life. Caitlyn
on the other hand was very straightforward with what she wanted. She already
foresaw that Josh was the one and she took whatever little that he gave her.
Caitlyn was strong, determined, and sometimes a pushover with her family. I was so glad when she finally stood up to
her family, especially her dad. The pacing was great, the writing was on point,
and the chemistry between the characters was ever so present.
While I did enjoy
this book very much, there were some
things that grinded my gears though. First off, this book was crowded with
characters. I'm guessing that this book is part of a series. I did
not read the other books, so I was a little lost with the side characters and
there were a lot of characters. Second, it lacked details. The author told me instead of showing me . Nothing annoys me
more than the author telling me instead of showing. I am very visual type of
reader and i need visuals. This style of
writing is new to me so I am a little bias.
I do not like the fact that she just says they kissed or made love. I needed a build-up and some of the scenes
are not even written out, it's just "a" did this and "b"
discussed this. This type of writing
takes me out of the story.
Nevertheless, The
first kiss of spring is a joy to read on a lazy afternoon, with a nice dose of
heat to keep you entertained. I definitely recommend this story.
