Goodreads Summary:
What do you do when you've always dreamed of a hero; your knight
in shining armour, only to find when he arrives he isn't a hero at all?
... He's a killer.
Ronnie Rose is trying to cope with the loss of her father; now
it looks like she might lose everything else that's dear to her too. Huge debts
threaten to destroy her family, her childhood home and her future. Only one
person cuts through her pain. Kalen Smith has just moved to town. He's trouble
and everyone knows it. He and his mysterious friends keep to themselves and the
town likes it that way. But when Kalen mourns at her dad's funeral, Ronnie
wants to know why and her investigation plunges her into a dangerous world of
murky government secrets, with deadly consequences. Ronnie knows she should
walk away from Kalen before it's too late. Problem is, she's falling for him...
Can we choose who we fall in love with?
Do you ever felt somehow lost in a place or a moment that
something was not right or misplace but then as everything takes place you
realize you’re in the right set and it is all perfect?
That’s the thought that I felt with this book. When I first
read the title the first thing that comes to my mind was that it’s definitely
another paranormal book or somewhere in a fantasy genre but to my surprise it’s
not. I’m happy that I stumble with this book and was given a chance to review
it.
First Light is an action filled book with a perfect blend of romance in it.
Ronnie Rose is person who faces a lot of responsibility in her life. She loses
her father, there is a huge debt left in her sister and her hands, and her best
friend seems to be slipping away out of her life too. But when a mysterious guy
enters her somewhat jumble life everything changes. Kalen Smith is a
mysterious, protective, intelligent and of course handsome and hot guy*swoon*.
I liked how the author used both the protagonist to change each others life.
Ronnie let her self welcome new other things in life and meet other people as
well as Kalen. Ronnie became more responsible, strong, bold and independent
thorough out the story. The plot was poignant it really captured my taste for
mystery/thriller books. And it has snippet of Kalen’s past life which helps me
to understand more of him.
There were the old friends and new friends were built. I
totally love the other ‘Four Guys’—Nash, Laith even if sometimes he’s rude, Denver and of course Ace.
All of them brought something to the story that makes it more captivating and will
have you finished it in a day or less.
I felt that the end of the book was great
and I think that the book was good to be left like that. But there’s a sequel so…I have to wait...
But I’d be definitely happy to be one of the
first readers of it! Oh did I mention I was a sucker for action stories? And
because of it this book deserved a 4 hearts J
