What's the book about:
FIRST LOVE NEVER FADES . . .
It's been a long time since widow Fia Thomas felt the spark of physical attraction. But from the moment she meets Elliot Ross one stormy night, she yearns for a fresh start, for him to make her feel whole and well again. With his broad shoulders and a warm smile crinkling his dark eyes, he could finally offer her the solace she's been seeking. And she's willing to give him anything in return . . . except a promise that could break his heart.
Now that Elliot is out of the Army, he's looking for a place to call home. Tallgrass was just a stop to stretch his legs, yet one look at Fia halts him in his tracks. In her sweet, sassy company, he finds the soul mate he never thought he'd have. But Fia is holding something back-something that keeps her from making any plans. Elliot's new mission: gain Fia's trust...and convince her that summer's end can mean a new beginning.
My thoughts on the book:
Elliot just got out of the Army and he's ready to find a place that feels like home. He's been to his sisters house and his parents house but nothing felt like home. He pulls into Tallgrass, Ok and he realizes he maybe staying for a little bit. Fia is home in Tallgrass she is dealing with the loss of her husband and the one person who loved her unconditionally and she has a secret that could make or break her. She has the Margarita girls and they are the best sisters and family she could have ever hand picked. When she meets Elliot on a fluke she wonders if she can be normal and have another chance at love. But will the secrets she is hiding destroy any chance with her and Elliot or will they open the doors to so much more?
While the storyline was powerful and at sometimes emotional dealing with love and loss and forgiveness. I felt that the story also was distracting by running another story hand in hand which had no ties to Elliot and Fia's story at all. I found that it took away from the over all flow of the book. I did enjoy the relationship between the women and it shows that loss can really draw people together and bring them to a place of love and healing. I really did enjoy the relationship between Cadence, Marti and Dillion and hope they have a story of there own to come. I feel like this book may be a good book for the right person it just wasn't for me.
