The cover of Feels Like the First Time is the reason readers hide the books that they read. I’m surprised Harlequin approved it frankly. It looks like the 70s on drugs. Disco pinks, blues, and purples swirl in a psychedelic mess surrounding two humping dancers that look like Sims characters. It’s just bizarre!
However the story between the covers is great; a very cute friends-to-lovers tale. The leads were best friends in high school but time and distance got between them. Not necessarily estranged, but close enough. At the ten year high school reunion they reconnect and have a magical weekend that leads to a HEA.
Zoe Gaston must find Gandolf, the video programmer who if persuaded could help her brother’s floundering company by writing an exclusive game for the new gaming system. Based on clues from Gandolf’s first ever video game Zoe knows he must have gone to her high school. Nothing less than love for her dear brother could get Zoe back to that small town and meet up with all of the people that made her high school years hell.
Dexter Drake is Zoe’s oldest friend and is in fact Gandolf, but since he left the company he was with he’s been under a confidentiality clause not to spill the beans. Of course, even if he could, he probably wouldn’t. Everybody from high school used him in some way or another except Zoe and he doesn’t want to give her a reason to start. Dexter wants Zoe to want him for himself… if only he had the courage to reveal that the man dressed as Aragon at the costume party was in fact him.

Keira's favorite type of heroes are blind, scarred, and tortured... yes, she understands those should be separate, but all 3 at once is also nice! She enjoys historical romances best and adores audio books because great narrators turn books into auditory/mental movies (and she loves her romantic dramas like Pride and Prejudice/North and South!)

It does sound like a cute story – even with the disco cover;)
Oh, that cover is something else! I love friends to lovers stories, though, so I may need to check it out.
Isn’t it?! If I rec a friends-to-lovers story it has to be good. They irritate me usually. I tend to hate them with a passion of 10,000 fiery suns. I much prefer enemies-to-lovers when it comes down to it. More sparks and witty dialogue.
