She was my first kiss. And I’m thinking she’ll be my last. It’s been years since I saw her, and now she’s all grown up. Stunning. Independent. Mine. I can’t help myself but to take her at any cost. I never wanted to return back home, but my mother’s dying. My daughter needs some time with her. The one thing I left behind when I ran from my past was Rein. I was an idiot for fcking things up with … was Rein.
I was an idiot for fcking things up with such a perfect woman.
And she’s haunted me since.
I see her in every face across the candlelit dinners, moan her name when I fck someone else, dream about her night after night.
Now I’m going after my second chance.
Especially since she’s carrying my baby.
One night. One chance. One last kiss.
Every good girl deserves a bad boy. ~Weston

I have enjoyed all of his books, some more than others. This one fell somewhere down the middle for me.
I did enjoy the storyline, the mother being sick and forcing the male character back home. It broke my heart when she died so early in the book.
“I had to accept the fact that you mattered a hell of a lot more to me than I ever mattered to you. And that sucked, Brayden. It really fucking sucked.”
My biggest problem with the story was Brayden’s reason for leaving, or more so the lack of reason and the lack of regret. He moved on quickly after, got married and had a kid. Meanwhile Rein never moved on. “He was going to know he was the last man I had been with.”
Regardless, this second chance love story had me rooting for them to get back together. Even though it had to hurt Rein to see Brayden with a daughter, she so quickly stepped up to help care and love her and eventually be Mommy.
I did love how we had a nice long ending, there was multiple chapters after the HEA that let us in to where the lives had gone.
Weston Parker wrote a emotionally beautiful second chance story about forgiveness, family, and love. Brayden and Rein went through a lot but proved that love conquers all. Couldn’t put this book down. Enjoyed every moment of this book.
Another wonderful book by Weston Parker. Brayden and Rein grew up in Valdez Alaska. After Brayden turned 18, he decided to leave their small town and go out on his own to make himself into a man he always dreamed of. The problem with this was, he never said goodbye to Rein. Now 10 years later he lives in Florida with his 4 year old daughter running a very successful company. When he gets a call from the hospital in his hometown he comes to find out his mother has cancer and is dying. He now is going home to the place he ran away from all those years ago. What will happen when he sees Rein again? Will she ever be able to forgive him for leaving her all those years ago? What will happen if his mother dies and he runs again? Well you are going to have to pick the book up to find out. You will not be disappointed with the outcome. Enjoy
I absolutely loved this book, but it needs to come with a warning. I never wanted to put it down. This book catches you, pulls you into it, and does not let you go. The story is wonderful. Yes, there are a few times that brought the tears, but there are many other times that have you smiling big. I also loved the names in this one: Brayden, Rein, and little Bella, who is the most adorable little girl. Together, they make a story that touches your heart, but also has those hot, steamy parts too. I highly recommend this book.
Brayden and Rein’s story was painfully hard to take. I have to say, I was absolutely rooting for Rein. Her kind spirit made her such a wonderful character, and yet she had enough sass and spitfire in her to lay it all out when she needed to. Great second chance romance!
This book has it all. I haven’t read a bad book by Weston Parker and this book will not disappoint. I recommend this book. I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book.
This was a spectacular story with some great characters. I loved the chemistry and passion between these two and a really good story-line. Brayden and Bella are great together but he keeps leaving her. An amazing second chance at love story that is a captivating, heartfelt story.

YOU WILL NOT PUT THIS READ DOWN UNTIL THE LAST WORD!!!
Wow guys! Whew! Let me say right up front that this is an emotional rollercoaster that you can’t shut off. So put on your big girl panties, grab a snack, a drink, tissue is unavoidable, get a comfy seat, kick back and relax cause baby you ain’t moving. If you’re looking for a whirlwind of emotions, heart pounding, pulse racing, heartbreaking, gut wretching and smooth flowing read that can literally flay you, you’ve definitely found it. This is one huge page turner that can bring you to your knees, cut you to the core and rip your heart out. I did warn you it was an emotional read. So don’t get upset with me when I call it as I see it. The characters were intriguing, complex and were dealing with some major issues. I followed the characters along and was absolutely mesmerized as their personalities transformed and blended. They began to grow and see things from the others point of view. Kind of like taking a step back to see the big picture. Replaying the past is never an easy thing. These two were literally soulmates in its truest form. The characters and scenes were realistic and believable, even if heartbreaking at times. I was so immersed in this read that I got pulled into Wes’s mind and saw things the way each scenario was playing out. I have to say it was totally awesome. There is no end or depths of imagination in his mind. He makes it seem so smooth and effortless that it will leave you breathless. When everything seems to start crumbling thats when the strongest of emotions kick in. I was transfixed, frozen in place. Totally fascinated by the way Wes brought these nerve racking, heartaching, tormented souls together in such a way I stood breathlessly obseving the change that a second earlier had been shattered. But as they gazed at each other it was like a breath of fresh air after a summer rain when its all clean and soothing. I have never read any other male authors work who can go so deep and pull out all the worst and best in a person, fuse it and make it shine brighter than the sun. That its so pure you can’t look straight into it. I don’t know what Wes is using for inspiration but it has to take a toll on him as well. Phenomenal job Wes, I am truly and totally awestruck. Man you nailed this little jewel and I want to thank you for sharing it with us.
I loved this book. I would love to see more from this world. some of these characters definitely deserve their won books. I would definitely one click this book. I am leaving a voluntary review for an advanced copy of the book
My Last First Kiss by Weston Parker, was an emotional roller coaster ride with a touch of heartbreak, forgiveness, love and family.

Weston has done it again with his amazing second chance romance stories. Just be forewarned- have tissues ready. Read about love, friendship, family, loss, regret, and lots of making up for lost time. Won’t be able to put it down once you start. I voluntarily reviewed an advanced reader copy of this book.
This second chance romance between Rein and Brayden will touch your heart. The relationship Brayden has with his daughter Bella will capture it. Brayden returns to his small hometown after his mother is diagnosed with cancer. It’s sweet how his mom puts Brayden in Rein’s path again, encouraging him to find his heart. Well developed characters, a few bumps in the road, and a HEA guaranteed to make you smile (and cry a little) is what this book delivers. I received an advanced readers copy of this book and am gladly leaving this review.
Well written and enjoyable second chance romance. Overall, I liked the characters and they were well developed. But what bothered me was that Rain was stuck up on Brayden for 10 years while he finds another love, gets married and has a child. I would have liked it better if she even tried to date in those 10 years, but it still worked out in the end with a sweet HEA for Rain and Brayden.

He had managed to escape his past by moving across country and starting a business. Ten years later, he was a billionaire with a precious child and a broken heart.
When he received an unexpected call, he returned to Valdez as quickly as possible. He had lots of surprises awaiting him, as well as some old friends….not the least was Rein.
This is a beautiful, heartfelt story about choices, loss, sacrifices and the possibility for more…but nothing comes without a price.
I received a reader copy and was wonderfully surprised on many levels…but I shouldn’t have been. This is exactly what I expect from Weston Parker and he delivered in spades. Well deserving of 5 stars and a full heart!
I received an ARC copy of this book and I have read and reviewed it Therefore giving my honest and voluntary review.
This story will make buterflies come to your stomach. It was so sweet and refreshing to read. The lead characters were absolute charns and the sweet storyline makes it all worthwhile. I highly recommend this book
A gripping storyline with fantastic characters that will pull at your heartstrings. I adored this book and all of the characters were so well written. Brayden and Rein have scorching chemistry and Bella was just adorable. Weston Parker is such an outstanding author who writes with such attention to detail that you feel you are there with the characters. I always look forward to books by Weston Parker and can’t wait for the next one which will be amazing. I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.
Not my First and definitely not my last Weston Parker read
Weston Parker has exceeded expectations again with this emotional and engaging read. I am not going to lie, there was a high tissue factor in this one for me (almost an ugly cry book). The depth of emotion (both high and low), really engaging characters and dialogue, not to mention the steam and romance I enjoy from this author; makes My Last First Kiss a to read again and again and again.

I am not a crier, but darn it! This is the second time that Weston Parker has got me sniffing! This is a second chance romance and I floved it. Brayden left his small town to make it big, abandoning his girlfriend, Rein. He’s forced to return but so much has changed in 10 years. This story was an emotional read of love, friendship, trust, loss, and redemption. Sometimes there is no good answer as to why things happen yet you still need to survive and move forwards. My heart ached for Rein, such a good woman. And Brayden, who had his share of tragedy & regrets. Gracie, Emmett, Bella, and Arlene, all such great characters in this cozy, small town story.

Awe, what a great, albeit emotionally gut wrenching, second chance romance. The one that got away turns into the last first kiss of your life. Love that concept. I voluntarily reviewed an advanced reader copy of this book
