Firsts by Rosalie Stanton is available for purchase at Loose Id.
The teaser sounded really good; I’ve always loved the friends-to-lovers theme and I’m always interested in trying out a new, or at least new-to-me, author. What’s not to like?
At first I would have said Savannah; in the beginning of the story I really wasn’t sure that this was going to be a story that I’d be able to get through never mind one that I’d like. But all that changed once I began to get caught up in the back-story of Savannah and Thorn’s friendship, the changes in their relationship over the years and their growth as people. This wasn’t going to just be another woman wanting to get rid of her virginity story; this one had heart and a lot of it.
It’s also about growing up, individually and as friends, and falling in love. I really liked Savannah’s best girl friend Allison; she was the voice of reason for her rather impetuous and hard-headed friend. Thorn, well he was just killer ~ sexy and madly in love with his best friend, but he was also quite wise and willing to take the risk of opening Savannah’s eyes to the truth of their relationship.
What follows is a rather stunning story that turned all my expectations completely on their head. An emotionally rich story that also contains laughter, tears and, overall, a story that enchants.
Will I be looking for more books by Rosalie Stanton? You betcha!

Savannah is looking at entering college as a virgin. After getting her heart shattered by one of the high school’s notorious playboys, she turns to her best friend, Thorn, and implores him to help her solve the tiny problem of her virginity.
What she doesn’t know is Thorn has been in love with her since the second he laid eyes on her, and asking him to touch what he can’t have is nothing less than torture. After succumbing to her advances, Thorn makes it his mission to convey everything he hasn’t been able to put into words into touch, hoping Savannah will feel in his hands and mouth what she has never seen in his eyes.
