Publisher's Summary:
There are two sides to every story. When Dylan first meets Zia, she's standoffish and indifferent, something he isn't used to when it comes to the opposite sex.

A must read, sweet romance duo
4.5 out of 5 stars
First Impressions and Second Thoughts are a pair of romance novellas following the characters Marzia "Zia" and Dylan. Each novella is told first person from one of the characters' perspectives. Zia is our narrator for F.I. and Dylan for S.T. I'm reviewing these two together as they create a full-color tapestry. Alone, they are both a great read, but together they're fabulous!
I really liked how the author was able to stay true to the story and dialogues between the two tellings, while maintaining unique character voice for each of the narrators. It was a cute plot device with a couple fun twists thrown in. A particular treat is in store for readers when they get to Second Thoughts and find out what Dylan was doing while he talked with the girls Zia tried to point him toward. So sweet!
These two are absolutely a must read if you're looking for a sweet romance.
Sweet read :)
I really enjoyed the sweet romance that developed between Dylan and Zia in First Impressions and it was fun seeing it from Dylanâs perspective in Second Thoughts. Itâs a well written, sweet romance which could be read as a standalone but itâs cool getting two sides to the story. And Dylan is just the kind of guy Iâd love my daughters to end up with one day :-)
Five Stars
Great book
Awesome "sequel" to First Impressions from the hero's perspective. Team Dylan FTW!!
Initial thoughts: Quick, fun college romance with a cute premise. Part two, told from the heroâs perspective.
What I loved: While I enjoyed First Impressions, I really, really enjoyed Second Thoughts!
Dylanâs character was very well-developed and held a ton of depth, despite the novellaâs short length and the brief timeframe over which it spanned. Because Locker utilized a more âconversationalâ tone this time around, his personality was front and center from the very first page.
I found it extremely easy to connect with Dylanâs emotions right off the bat. His attraction toward Zia was blatantly obvious and his moments of self-doubt regarding her were endearing, to say the least. Just a few of the many random notes I made about Dylan while reading included, âAww, what a sweetieâ, âCute as can beâ, âEffinâ adorableâ, and âOMGeee!â
Needless to say, Dylan Porter has gained a new fan in me.
Even the secondary characters were dynamic and believable, which was a huge plus.
What left me wanting: Even though there was a vast improvement over the first book, I must admit that a few scenes still seemed âmechanicalâ to me. There were instances where I felt the description was too matter-of-fact and failed to convey the intense emotion Dylan must have been feeling.
Some specific examples:
(SPOILER!) It was an intimate moment, innocent as it was. She was silent the entire time, and once she was redressed, I picked her up to reposition her laying her head on her pillow.
