Series: First and Last
Book One: Safe With You
Synopsis:
After overcoming a difficult childhood, Taryn Ross has a fairy tale life - her father is a Senator contemplating a run for President, her mother loves to take her shopping for ridiculously expensive clothes, and she is finishing up her junior year at NYU.
What she doesn’t have is love - the heart pounding, mind blowing, passion filled love that she reads about in her collection of steamy romance novels. But that might change when she accepts a cup of coffee from a sexy mysterious stranger.
Wyatt Hunter has experienced a loss that has him living each day just going through the motions. His world is in dull shades of gray - until the day he meets Taryn. She brings vibrant brilliant color back into his life, and he can’t stand the thought of going on without her.
But Wyatt is holding a secret that could send Taryn running when she finds out.

Review:
I was actually a little disappointed with this book. It all happened so fast. There wasn't anything to the book really. Don't get me wrong the story line was very well liked, but I just wish there was more to it. There wasn't anything all that exciting. And the ending SUCKED! It just ended in the middle of a story. What kind of crap is that?!?!?! I loved Taryn and Wyatt, and all the other characters. They had amazing chemistry together and their story was really cute. It just had NO filler it seemed like. It went straight to the point. I was quite disappointed. Another downer is that the second book does not even pick up where this one left off. It tells of her best friend/cousin's, Lindsey, story. I don't know if there is even a third book or not coming out. I have a feeling though that the third book still won't pick up with where this went left off. I'm hoping it does, but I feel like it may pick up on a story that we hear about in the second book about one of Lindsey's friends.
Book Two: Just One Reason
Synopsis:
As teenagers, Lindsay and Grady found a love together that few people are lucky enough to ever experience.
When Lindsay Ross decided to visit her aunt for the summer in a small lake town in New York, she didn’t expect anything other than an escape from her demanding parents. She certainly didn’t expect Grady Hawke. At the end of the summer, Lindsay and Grady made plans for their future and vowed to be together forever. Back in New York City, events beyond her control forced Lindsay to turn her back on Grady and their love.
Grady has spent the last five years trying to forget the one girl who broke his heart. But when Lindsay arrives back in town unannounced, will Grady get to know the woman she has become and find out the real reason she left him all those years ago? Or will he push her away for good?

Review:
Kirsten did a whole lot better with this story. It has a lot more to it. It doesn't feel as rushed as the first book. You get the background story between the two main characters, their history in between, and what happens when they are reconnected. It is a tragic love story that turns out for the best. You feel so heartbroken for Lindsay and can't help but to cry right along with her. You feel Grady's anger towards Lindsay for the way she left, but you know why she had to do what she did, so you just want to yell at him for being so callous towards her. This book tells you everything you need to know without rushing into anything. It also tells the story from both point of views. It isn't just one sided. The epilogue is also one that will have you loving the story even more. I am hoping that Kirsten writes more for this series and ties up a few loose ends. Here's to keeping my fingers crossed!
