Savannah is looking at entering college as a virgin. After getting her heart shattered by one of the high school's notorious playboys, she turns to her best friend, Thorn, and implores him to help her solve the tiny problem of her virginity. What she doesn't know is Thorn has been in love with her since the second he laid eyes on her, and asking him to touch what he can't have is nothing less than torture. After succumbing to her advances, Thorn makes it his mission to convey everything he hasn't been able to put into words into touch, hoping Savannah will feel in his hands and mouth what she has never seen in his eyes.

This is a coming of age erotic contemporary romance. This is the story of Savannah and Thorn who have been best friends since they were toddlers. Now that they are about to go to college Savannah decides that she want to lose her virginity to someone she trusts, and who does she trust more than her best friend Thorn. What she doesn't know is that Thorn has been in love with her since the first time he saw her at the age of three!

As this title suggests this is a story of first's. First times, first loves and first realizations. I found this to be a surprisingly sweet story, which I find is unusual in erotic romances. Savannah is like most young  girls of eighteen, naive, emotional and confused which makes it so easy to love her as most of us have been exactly the same at some point in our lives. She goes into situations head first without thinking about consequences which knocks her off her feet when things start to unravel in her plans. Thorn is a delectable man one who we would all like as a friend but would also like to have him for a side benefit as well. The sex scenes are steamy but the author has made them realistic and heartwarming at the same time. I loved the dialogue between the two main characters as it spoke of long time friendship. My only complaint about this book was that it was too short.
