Feels Like the First Time
When Clint Marsh pulls a woman from an overturned semi on a county road in Florida, he expects only to do a good deed then get back on his motorcycle and head home.
It doesn’t quite work out that way. The woman turns out to be Lily Ridenger, his first love, and the one woman who has the ability to turn his thoughts to sin with a single look. She’s in need of a place to stay and he has room to spare. So what if they have unfinished business between them? So what if there are still unresolved feelings? Chances are they’ll hook up, have sex hot enough to start a fire and go their separate ways. At least that’s what Clint thought…

Feels Like the First Time by Ciana Stone is a novella that never felt like a short story. This was my first book by Ciana Stone and I was so impressed. Novellas usually leave me feeling like I was so rushed and couldn’t just absorb and enjoy the characters and the plot. That was so not the case with this book.
Clint Marsh has a pretty good life. He runs a successful ranch with his brothers and enjoys life as it comes. Love isn’t a factor. He just has never seemed to be able to get his first love off of his mind. They had one amazing night years before and then went their separate ways. He never thought he would see her again, until one fateful night he stops to help a truck driver that was in an accident.
Lily Ridenger has about had it with all of the curveballs life is throwing at her. Her good for nothing soon to be ex-husband cheated on her, gambled away her money and childhood home. In some serious need of cash she takes a job driving truck. This could be her chance to get back on her feet and create a new life for herself. Some idiot causes her to wreck her truck and she knows that she is out of the job that she so desperately needed. To make matters even more complicated a man comes to her rescue. But, this isn’t just any man it’s Clint Marsh, her childhood love and a man that she has never been able to get off of her mind.
The two quickly realize that the flame hasn’t burnt out between them. What follows is a series of twists and turns that threatens to tear them apart once more.
When life kicks you to the dirt, you’ve got nowhere to go but up.

I love Ciana Stone's work. The books are hot and steamy. And each one is different. Can't get better than that.
Lily has lost everything she has had in her life. A ranch, a cheat and gambler of a husband, not to mention he lost it all too in the first place. So with what little clothes she has in her duffel bag, she sets out to find work and a home. What she didn't expect was to run into Clint and Cam Marsh after a semi wreck, that left her stranded, jobless and homeless once again. Clint decides after seeing and hearing everything to give her another chance and everything she needs. Maybe his heart once again if she will have it. Can Clint get her to see the bright side of things with him? And maybe tie the knot once and for all on the once woman he loves above all.

I guess I shouldn't call this Insta love just because Clint and Lily had a past. When they reconnected, they were combustible.
The storyline with Lily having to start over because of her ex husband's behavior was kind of interesting. Suddenly a paranormal twist was tossed into the mix along with some action and suspense.
As I'm thinking about what path this story is going to take next, Lily does something dumb, things work out, and Lily and Clint have their HEA.
A fast-paced, steamy, romantic suspense that was a little disappointing at the end. I also listened to this book via Audible books.

I loved this book
Thank heavens. Not another rich billionaire CEO. This book was a totally unexpected delight. The storyline is unique and the hero, Lily, has some pretty unique things up her sleeve too.
Clint is hotter than a firecracker and just as ready to go off to make love to Lily or protect her. These two have a past history and a fun future, if Lily can behave.
There is wild, wild sex, mucky mud, snakes, bad guys, hot guys, OH MY. Don't miss this walk on the wildside, funny romp on a Florida ranch. So delightfuly stellar.

First, I want to thank Ciana Stone for providing me with this book so I may bring you this review.
Feels Like the First Time by Ciana Stone is Book One in the Untamed Series. As with most of Ciana’s books it is filled with very nice sex scenes, an extremely handsome fromer love from Lily’s past, a rescue from disaster, loss of a job, and a rat bastard of an ex husband.

Love on the ranch
Lily is down on her luck and trying too earn enough money to afford a hotel room. He lying ex husband stole all she had and left her high and dry. Unfortunately, a wreck in her old hometown leads her to an old flame. Clint has grown up and is sexy as ever. Will they make a go of it?

Love this! Clint is great, although labeled as a playboy, he doesn't hesitate to snatch up his opportunity for a second chance with his first love. Lily is fresh out of a failed marriage and is full of hurt and pride. Their instant re-connection is mutual and destined. Love the paranormal elements, I think that, the drama and the quality times are all well blended.

I really like the characters and it was an enjoyable and interesting storyline. However, it just didn’t sit well with me that she had to pay that rat bastard ex husband any money AT ALL…and Johnny B, why didn’t the law have some involvement in taking that criminal down? Just sayin

This is sweet, romantic and amusing. Clint and Lily are a fun couple, the chemistry between them is hot and fast, and they are adorable together. The storyline adds some drama and hijinks to a sweet love story. It's a must add to your TBR list book.

I enjoyed this book as much as I enjoyed it the first time. I liked the characters and the plot. I love this author and all her stories and will continue to read her books as they come out and revisit her other books.

This was a fun and quick read. It was a bit rushed for a romance, but since it was second chance, it kind of made sense that way. I also enjoyed the bit if paranormal that was involved. Looking forward to reading book 2.

Restarts
This book reminds me a little of a country song, except it's the wife has been wronged but got a better deal out of it with her first love.

Feels Like the First Time by Ciana Stone is a second chance paranormal romance (though the paranormal isn't the main focus of the story). It is Clint and Lily's story. I enjoyed reading about them. I liked the touches of paranormal through the story as well. Lily is down and out because of her husband. He gambled away her property and cheated on her. She decided to leave and start over somewhere new. She starts by being a truck driver. She used to drive semi's with her father. When she ends up in an accident she might lose everything again. She is rescued from the crash by her old flame Clint. He offers to let her stay with him and his brother. She won't have it. She isn't a charity case. So he offers her a job. She accepts the offer. The more time they spend together the more they realize they never got over each other. When her husband starts harassing her life gets complicated. Can her and Clint navigate all the challenges? Or will it tear them apart? I would recommend Feels Like the First Time to anyone who enjoys second chance romances.

Second Chances!
Lily is starting over, literally. After her rat of a husband took out a mortgage on her family home and ranch then lost it all and owes a loan shark money, lily is left with nothing but a duffel bag full of clothes. Lily gets a job with a trucking company and on her first day she wreaks the semi and is saved by her first love who left her with a broken heart.
Clint never thought he would see Lily again so when he and his brother Cam stop and help the accident victims he is thrown for a loop when he gets an arm full the girl he left behind. With nowhere to go, no job and no money Lily goes back to the Marsh ranch and takes a job as a horse trainer. As time goes on the couple fall deeper in love but when trouble finds Lily will Clint fight for her?
I loved Lily and her feisty attitude, the easy banter between she and Clint had me laughing at times. Clint and his brother Cam are just to adorable for words.
Ciana Stone has become one of my one click purchases and favorite Author's. I love how she throws in a bit of paranormal into every story she writes. Oh did I mention that Lily can Start Fires? No, well now you know!

I am no stranger to Ciana Stone's unique writing style. She never fails to amaze me with each new novel I read from her. The way she just so non-challantly adds a touch of paranormal into each story is beyond anything I can hope to read from someone else. Each of.her stories are so real and this one is no exception.
Lily is a woman, not necessarily running but it's the only word I can think of, from her rat bastard ex husband after he gambled everything in their life away. When she had the oppurtunity of a new job she jumped at the chance. But as life loves to remind you, she ends up jobless and with no where to go, in a town where a blast from her past has her completely offkilter.
Clint has all he needs, or so he thought. When Lily makes an entrance into his life again he refuses to let her go.
When the very thing she is running from threatens to take Lily from him Clint and his brother Cam jump into action and save her.
I am seriously addicted to this woman's amazing way with words. I never fail to stay up way to late to finish devouring her stories. Thank you Ciana Stone for another amazing contribution to the paranormal romance world.

2nd Time Around
How do you take up with someone from your past that hurt you? Your life moved forward but you never forget your first love.
The book just a little different. You have lost love, anger, bookies, sexy brother(drool worthy), debt ridden husband and fire. Can you picture how this book is going to turn out with this cast of characters?
For all that it was a short book the story was interesting. I will have to own that I would like to see another book with these characters to find out about her specialty and were it cam from and why he never kept his promise.

Quick fun read
What a quick fun read. Clint and Lily are steaming hot. Amazing as always Ciana! I never put spoilers in my reviews--just what I think of the book. And I love reading anything by Ciana Stone. I can't wait to read the next one.

Ciana Stone's feels like the first time has romance, hot sex scenes----and a paranormal twist. The down and out heroine is rescued by her long ago first love fresh from a nasty breakup with a cheating, gambling ex-husband. Bad guys chase the heroine and she uses her special powers to remain alive. She is rescued once again and then leaves only to become a millionaire and returns to wrap the story up with its happy ending bow. The story line was so farfetched I literally put my kindle down and shook my head. However, it's a short,quick read with several sexy love interludes.
