Summary: Like his name, Gray is dark and stormy. Dylan is the
exact opposite--full of light and life. It's definitely not love at
first sight for these two. But slowly, fascination turns to admiration,
which turns to caring, until finally these lone souls find love.
But staying in love is not as easy as falling in love. If Dylan and Gray
want their love to last, they're going to have to learn that sometimes
love means having to say you're sorry.
Review:
First Comes Love teaches about life and love. Gray stopped living after
the death of his twin sister, but when he meets Dylan, a girl so much
like his sister, she shows him how to start living life again, instead
of just existing. Dylan is just the opposite. She's full of life and
lives every day to the fullest. Dylan has met many people, but she's
never made a real bond with anyone, until she met Gray.
What started as fascination quickly became something more. But life and
love aren't without obstacles. As their lives take them in different
directions, Dylan and Gray have to determine of their love is strong
enough to overcome their differences.
I love stories that have an emotional punch, so I really enjoyed First
Comes Love. I liked that the way Dylan and Gray met and fell in love was
so natural. There are a lot of stories where the love is instantaneous
and totally unbelievable. Dylan and Gray take the time to really get to
know each other and develop feelings for each other. They go through the
ups and downs. So their relationship is very believable and real.
The alternating POVs provide deeper insight into both Dylan and Gray. We
see Gray's struggle to move on and Dylan's struggle with the bond she
made with him. They both add their own experiences to the story. I
always like stories with two or more narrators. The story has depth it
otherwise wouldn't have with only one.
I'm really excited to read the next book in this series. I can't wait to
see what happens with Dylan and Gray's relationship. It's bound to be
another emotional ride.
