In the tradition of New York Times bestselling authors Rachel Gibson, Kristan Higgins, and Jill Shalvis, comes the second book in a funny and charming new small-town contemporary romance series by Marina Adair.

What's wrong with a little white lie?

There are a lot of things Ali Marshal doesn't do: pink anything, a day without chocolate, and Hawk, her sister's ex-husband. Sure, he's a sexy former NHL star who can make her pulse pound with just a wink. But he belonged to Bridget first. And no matter how long she's had a crush on him, how great he's always been to her dad, or that her sister is engaged to someone else now and Ali needs a date to their engagement party, she can't give in to temptation. Can she?

It's been years since his disastrous marriage crashed and burned, and Bradley Hawk has finally moved on. So when Bridget blows back into town with her new fiancé, throwing the engagement party of the year, he could care less . . . until Ali tells one little lie that lands him smack dab in a fake relationship. After one promise to be Ali's date and two of the hottest kisses he's ever had, Hawk can't deny how much he wants her. But what happens when this fauxmance starts to feel very, very real?

My review: 4 stars
Small-town romance and friends-to-lovers are two of my favorite tropes so I was excited to see that Feels Like the First Time rolled them into one along with a fake romance. Ali was super spunky and fun- I loved that she was an artist with a style all her own. Hawk was super hawt (see what I did there?) and his friendship with Ali went so far back... way further than his marriage to her sister (a character I could not stand). So it was fun to see them explore a relationship and finally admit to each other that they were meant to give it a try. Chock-full of small town charm and family drama, this is a fun read.
