Last First Kiss is a series started by (new to me) author Stella Holt. It is a second chance story on multiple levels and I feel like the set up that was fantastic, but…. This book has a case of “the hurry up and finish alreadys”
Charlotte is a young police widow in a large family where everyone is in the military or on the police force. We spend a lot of time getting to know her and get a strong dose of her brothers in secondary roles.
We see her struggle with grief and the idea of moving on - this was actually one of my favorite parts of this book- the idea of Charlotte giving herself grace to embrace ACT II.
Caleb is a coworker of Charlotte’s that comes back into the picture five years after she first met him. The once upon a time attraction returns, but he has baggage of his own.
We spend a lot of Last Fist Kiss with Charlotte and Caleb figuring things out. That story line is interesting and I was rooting for them. Where I found myself a bit frustrated is that we spent 80% of the book in a 3 month window (Columbus day to New Years) and then boom it’s Columbus Day again and we find out the conclusion to the journey. I wish this had been edited a little differently. I don’t think we needed to see the whole hard slog that was revealed near the end, but I think glimpses would have been helpful to really embracing this pair.
Ms Holt is a new to me author and I have to admit this book does make me curious about Charlotte’s brothers, but I might be a bit weary too…
