Escaping Into Books: First Touch

*Synopsis*

But as she finds herself more entangled with him, she finds she's drawn to Reeve for more than just his connection to Amber, despite her growing fear that he may be the enemy. When she's forced to choose where her loyalty lies, how will she decide between saving Amber and saving her heart?

I honestly did not expect to love this book as much as I did but it blew my mind. The beginning started out a little slow but when it picked up, Whoa! Reeve was so intense and sexy as hell; I loved how much of a mystery he was and I was constantly trying to figure out what he would do next. His character is one that not everyone will like, since he's a very hard man to understand, but I loved him.

Emily's past was oddly intriguing. It was full of sleeping with men for gifts and doing drugs, which normally I hate to hear about and would make me hate a character but in this case it just made me ten times more curious about her. Her character, past and present, was a good one but I have so much more I want to learn about her so I can't wait to get the next book.

Overall, First Touch was an amazing read and I'm kicking myself for not reading this author before now. I have to say, I'm not a big fan of just the heroines POV but I think it added to the mystery and suspense in this book which is what sucked me into the story. I want everyone I know to read this book and love it like I did - so get to it, people!
