Summary

First love deserves a second chance…

Mark Price is a wickedly handsome, tattooed billionaire made of solid muscle. He’s content with focusing on traveling around the world, spending time with different women in every city. It’s all fine by him until he runs into the one woman to ever hold his heart.

It’s not like anyone ever forgets their first love, right?

Too bad it looks like she has no intentions of ever trusting him again. Probably because he broke her heart into a million little pieces eight years ago.

***

For Lily Maxwell, adulthood looks a lot different than the one she’d dreamed about, but she has everything she needs: an amazing daughter, a stable job that pays their bills, and wonderful friends and family who support her. She’s made peace with her past, determined to move forward.

But when her gorgeous-as-sin ex comes barreling into her life, she can’t get him out of her mind.

He makes her want to take a chance.

To believe again.

She tells herself she’s not going that road again.

Even if he does make her want to throw caution to the wind. Even if her body is covered in little electric sparks at the thought of him. Even if he’s the best sex she’s ever had.

She has to think about the one person who matters the most to her – her daughter, Violet.

Being a single mother isn’t easy, and the billionaire playboy is definitely not the father material.

Is Lily a fool to let a second chance at happily ever after pass her by?

But what happens if following her heart turns out to be her biggest mistake of all?

*Amazon bestselling author Emily Krat is back with a heartfelt, second chance, steamy romance. This story is a standalone novel.*

Review

“It’ll never be over between you two. From the moment he saw you, he was f-d. You both were.”

People say that you’ll never forget your first love. Mark and Lily met when they were teenagers at Kingswood Academy. Mr. First Love is a second-chance romance that shows both the past and present.

Eight years is a long time to hold on to someone. But some people impact you in a way that shapes you into who you are in the present. Life goes on. Everything is normal, and you’re living your life as if everything is okay. Then suddenly, something reminds you of them, and it isn’t easy to move on when it does.

Mark is misunderstood. When he was younger, he acted out to get his father’s attention, but it didn’t work. He longs for a family. Longing for a parent’s attention isn’t rare. When you’re a child, you want your parents’ attention and would do anything to get it. Mark has gotten to a point in his life where he wants to settle down. He’s lonely and wants a partner. But everyone assumes Mark isn’t ‘boyfriend’/’husband’ material. He has this reputation that followed him throughout his life that he can’t seem to shake. Once someone has this perceived notion about you, it’s not easy to change it. You’ll always be that way in their eyes.

After Lily’s parents’ divorce, her life was uprooted. Her father sends her to Kingswood Academy, a boarding school in London. The move to London was meant for her to be closer to her mother, but it made no difference. Years later, she became a single mother vowing not to be like her mother. Violet is Lily’s whole world; every decision she’s made has been for Violet. Life never goes as planned. Dreams change. You can want something, but life can take you on a different path.

There was a scene that felt like deja vu. I can’t put my finger on where I read it before. I was uncertain if it was an excerpt from Mr. First Love or a completely different book.

Mr. First Love reminds me of my Wattpad era, and I mean that as a compliment. It took me back to middle/high school, at least the good memories. Reading Mr. First Love was an emotional ride. I wanted more of Violet. I hope that she will have her own story. I can’t wait to read about the other characters in their books!
