About this ebook

A kiss is just the beginning…

Pinterest Perfect. Or so Annie Carson's life appears on her popular blog. Reality is ... messier. Especially when it lands her back in one-cow town Brightwater, California, and back in the path of the gorgeous six-foot-four reason she left. Sawyer Kane may fill out those Wranglers, but she won't be distracted from her task. Annie just needs the summer to spruce up and sell her family's farm so she and her young son can start a new life in the big city. Simple, easy, perfect.

Sawyer has always regretted letting the first girl he loved slip away. He won't make the same mistake twice, but can he convince beautiful, wary Annie to trust her heart again when she's been given every reason not to? And as a single kiss turns to so much more, can Annie give up her idea of perfect for a forever that's blissfully real?

Ratings and reviews

Loved this completely entertaining small town romance! Lia Riley is a new to me author but she has gained a new fan with her quirky characters, writing style, and heartwarming storytelling. In this book Annie returns to Brightwater. A place that holds very few fond memories so the sooner she's on her way back out of town the better. Only one problem, oh so sexy Sawyer Kane has never forgotten Annie and now that she's back, he plans to do everything he can to get her to stay. This one will touch quite a few places in your heart, making you smile, laugh, and cry but in the end making you very happy you read it. I highly recommend it.

Last First Kiss by Lia Riley is in a class all it's own. Ms. Riley made an awkward and quirky character like Annie seem almost normal. Annie and Sawyer balancing each other out. He is reliable and steady to her flighty and unsure personality. This is a story about second chances and appreciating the simple things in life. A wonderful and heartwarming read.
