Our First Time

The Full House #1

by Fiona Silver

AT THE BEGINNING, THERE WAS ONE.

I've fallen for Cory Willis with the speed of light and now my only worry is to be accepted by his squad—his family in all but blood.

Turns out, being accepted is only the start of our story...

The Full House Book 1

This was an ok read, Chapters jumped into the future so you missed some character development. Keen to see how this group of friends develop.

Okay, so originally I thought the cover had a broken apple on it, not a fire helmet 😅. That being said, the story wasn't terrible. I’ll be honest in saying I almost DNF because there were so many run-on sentencesin the beginning, but once the characters got into dialogue, it got better.

I did love how the topic of sharing the men was brought up. Most books I've read where the woman is with multiple guys at the same time, they kind of just throw her in there and she’s okay with it. I loved that the FMC didn’t go for it right away and had reservations. She was concerned about jealousy and respect, which we don't often see. I also liked the characters, but I wish there was more romance. There was a lot of sex, sex, and wait…more sex. There wasn't any romantic description like the dates she and Cory went on or anything other than sex. We could tell that their relationship had grown, but only because the author told us.

Overall, it was good, but I probably won't read books 2-5 🤷🏽‍♀️.

5/10 Recommend.

Book 14 of 2024

Not only did she find one fireman, but she also found his three friends? Obviously I had to see what this was about. @FionaSilver did a giveaway for this first book on Stuff Your Kindle Day, and after reading this, I now have to see what is going to happen in the rest of the series. Things start with just Maya and Cody, and then it develops with his three buddies in the same firehouse team. I hate that we did a lot of time jumping here because the book would have been better if there had been all the little details to develop the characters. My biggest complaint here is that I wanted more. The book got better when the friendships started and then the five of them get together. Mostly this book is laying the groundwork for the next four sections of the series, and I will be anxious to see how all of this goes and what becomes of this group.

Rating – three stars
Format – e/book

Why choose?

A quick and steamy story about a girl finding the perfect guy for her, who just happens to have 3 amazing best friends. It's a found family quartet and Maya fits right in. This is only part one, so it doesn't have a traditional HEA, more like HFN until you read the next parts. But it does feel like a complete short story and it's worth the read. Looking forward to part 2.

First part of a 5-part story. Loved all the discussions, the talk about trust and cosent. Seemed quite healthy.
At times it felt like I was missing something, like there was some piece of information, part of their background story I was supposed to know.
Would like to find out how it all goes on. Especially the last book seems intriguing.

I really like the writing of the author, sure a lot was left to the imagination in terms of character building and sentences ending abruptly to move onto the next chapter but the plot was good. I especially loved the discussion about the “fantasy” before it actually happened. I feel I don’t necessarily need to read the rest of the series to know it can only get better in terms of 🌶️

[Silliest Goose Gwen · Rating 3 out of 5]

I do happen to like both characters and the smut was steamy- but overall it was meh, the characters jumped so fast we didn’t get any character building. One second they were just meeting, the next fucking, then she’s meeting his family. Not much plot- just a lot of sex. There were so many run on sentences and gramatical errors. Just nothing that really stood out, kind of odd.

[Sheradon · Rating 2 out of 5]

nah

It was okay sex smut wise but for the story itself it skipped way too much into the future and didn’t really add any details into the relationship building into the point of saying I love you.

[Angie Arnold · Rating 5 out of 5]

Hot!

That's all I can really say hehe. The relationship throughout felt real. The characters were very well written. You felt like you were a fly on the wall and could clearly see everyone and everything. Can't wait to get to.the next part!!!!!

The Full House 1

Wow wow wow can we say Hot Hot Hot!!!! Definitely worth the read and definitely worth knowing it’s a part of a series!!!! This is one series I can’t wait to read!!!!

[Emmy · Rating 2 out of 5]

This was an introduction to the characters, how they met, etc., but it was so short. There was a lot of telling instead of showing in order to move the story along and get to the group scene, it felt like. And since it was so short, there wasn't anything that hooked me in to keep reading the rest.

[Deni · Rating 3 out of 5]

Nice, easy to read, low-stakes story, and I liked it for what it is. That being said, I enjoy having a bit more of the plot going on.

[Micki_1989 · Rating 5 out of 5]

Damn

Full on smut but has a great story behind that doesn't feel rushed and none of it feels out of place or like it shouldn't be in the book like I've found sometimes

[Kristy /Obsessed with Romance · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book is exactly what you think it's going to be with likeable characters and good writing.

[Courtney Adams · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book was an excellent quick read for me. I was already in love with the MFC from page 1 and let me just say …. The men 🔥🔥🔥🔥 Like I said it is a short read but well worth it!

[ChattyChik21 · Rating 4 out of 5]

way more plot than expected

This was really a good book with decent plot. There was a bit too much internal dialogue would have liked real dialogue but it was cool

[Lauren · Rating 3 out of 5]

It is what it is for 70 pages

[Diana M. Caruthers · Rating 4 out of 5]

Good short story

This book was a nice short story that hit most all the notes for me. It was enjoyable. This book was received for free on a stuff your kindle day.

[julia martha · Rating 1 out of 5]

Boo this book has a good premise but it needed to be way sexier. If you want watered down stories that are still blatantly spicy this is for you.

[Amara-Jade Priestley · Rating 4 out of 5]

3.5 stars rounded up to 4. Would have loved more character development to understand the guys relationships more but enjoyed a short story! Will definitely read the rest

[Lacey · Rating 4 out of 5]

Quick little smutty read. 1 girl 4 sexy firefighters? Why not

[Kherri Bilbro · Rating 5 out of 5]

Hot!!

This novella is full of hot and sexy!! It hooked me right away! I'm ready to dig into the second one!

[Daniell Duncan · Rating 3 out of 5]

Quick read and was ok. It felt a little awkward to begin with but wasn't anything to deter me from reading on.

[Francisca Ramírez · Rating 5 out of 5]

A diferencia de la mayoría de los Reverse Harems, este se sintió como un abracito al corazón. Las escenas spicy igual estuvieron maravillosas. Cory era literalmente un osito, y su relación con Maya me estrujaba fuertemente el alma. Y los chicos, Diego, Luke e Ethan, amados. Hombres perfectos.

Frases de Cory que me derritieron el corazón:

"There's no scale that can fit all that you deserve, love"

"There's no way I'd stop wanting you. No way. It's overwhelming, sometimes, how much I want you"

"I think you're honestly one of the best things that has ever happened to me"

"I forgot a groomsman should focus his attention on the groom and his bride; not at the gorgeous brunette in the fifth aisle"
