My first read from the For the First Time: Twenty-One Brand New Stories of First Love.

Not really a fan of anthologies coz' I dunno which of these compilations are standalones or part of the series. But good thing some authors update readers as much as they can. Like Ms. Torre.

The story centers in Cole and Summer's married and family life - Hollywood style.

Too short for the America's darling couple, but enough to gain a 3-star rate.

Love getting extra Cole time. Looking forward to seeing the Hollywood Dirt movie.

I loved Hollywood Dirt, so of course, I had to know what happens after the book ended. The story is short but packed with loads of cuteness, sweetness, and hotness. The whole cast is back and I loved the peek into their lives in LA!

:) Que puedo decir.... me encantan estos dos!! Son tan lindos juntos.... y Cocky... jajajaja me mata de la risa este pollo, pero más, cómo lo trata Cole jajajaja

Hubiera querido que fuera mas largo, me pareció tan corto :( pero igual me ENCANTÓ volver a saber de ellos!!

Sole es una especie de epilogo largo del libro Hollywood Dirt de Alessandra Torre y nos da un vistazo a lo que sucede un par de años despues del final del libro.
Es muy cortito ( solo tiene tres capitulos ), se lee en nada de tiempo y te deja con muchisimas ganas de seguir leyendo sobre Cole y Summer, me hubiera gustado que fuera mas largo, ya que me encanto leer sobre la maravillosa familia que han creado los protagonistas, pero aun sigo manteniendo la esperanza de que la autora escriba otro libro. * pone ojitos *

3.5 Estrellas!

It was great to see Summer and Cole again, now living in a huge mansion somewhere in Hollywood with their daughter Grace. It's Grace's 3rd birthday and Cole and Summer are not hosting any kids' party, they are hosting a Hollywood kids' birthday.

The short story also contains appearances from Justin and Ben.

The story was a nice conclusion to Hollywood Dirt.

RTC!

I forgot how much I liked reading about these two. Guitly pleasure books are the best books.

[Jessica Lopez]

Me encanto, aunque me pareció muy poquito la cantidad de hojas es una historia super corta quiero saber mas sobre su hija y lo que es de la vida de ellos.

SOLE… REALLY?!! I guess this was cute...not really worth it, but hey, it was free!

[Suzanne · Rating 4 out of 5]

That was a fun quick extra epilogue to get more of Cole and Summer.

[Thenia · Rating 4 out of 5]

A glimpse into Summer and Cole, aka Sole's happily ever after, pets and toddlers and friends included. A sweet finale to their story.

¿POR QUÉ TAN CORTO? :'(

me quedé con muchas ganas de saber más de Cole y Summer. Su matrimonio y ahora su hija!

Escribe un 1.5 en toda regla, mujer ¬¬

[Tina · Rating 4 out of 5]

Nice insight in Summer and Cole's life after Hollywood dirt.

[Jennifer · Rating 4 out of 5]

Sole is a 25 page short story that continues the story from Hollywood Dirt. Do not read this story unless you have read Hollywood Dirt.

Summer + Cole = Sole.

This story was really fun and sexy. If you liked Hollywood Dirt then you will love to get a look at the future. I enjoyed this story a lot. Although it was really sexy for a short story. I would have preferred more story, less sex.

[Shauna · Rating 4 out of 5]

Quick cute look into Summer and Cole's lives - sweet :)

[Sara Albuquerque]

No me acordaba de todo del primer libro, pero ese fue casi un epilogo bonus, gracioso, tierno pero demasiado corto..

[A Book Obsessed Brit · Rating 4 out of 5]

So this is just a short story follow up about Summer & Cole's HEA continuing from Hollywood Dirt. It was nice to get a glimpse of the goings on 3 years later. Although short and sweet the story had me laughing from the first few paragraphs thanks to Cole and Cocky's antics!

It was great to read that Cole's cravings for Summer haven't changed in any way and they are clearly very in love. Reading about Ben again, well what can I say I loved his supporting character in Hollywood dirt and still love him in this, slightly neurotic, flustered, busy body control freak and I just want to squeeze him amidst fits of laughter before he puts himself into an early grave.

A great little catch up story and glimpse a little ways into the future for anyone who loved reading Hollywood Dirt!

[Cindy Wilkerson · Rating 4 out of 5]

Summer + Cole = Sole
This short add on is a must read for any fans of Hollywood Dirt.
I agree with the other reviewers that it either needs to be longer or focus more on a plot than sexy times.
Regardless, I could always use more of Summer and Cole.

[Giselle ♡.*ﾞ · Rating 2 out of 5]

En esta historia corta nos cuentan MUY poquito sobre la vida después de Hollywood Dirt entre Cole y Summer y tengo que decir que me dejó con muchísimas ganas de saber qué pasó. Me gustó pero leerlo fue como un suspiro y si bien es lindo, me dejó queriendo saber más al punto de bajarle puntaje por eso.

[ER · Rating 4 out of 5]

São três capítulos que finalizam bem a historia de cole e summer. Ela esta dando uma festa para a filha de 3 anos e tras algumas recordações de como a vida dela mudou. Dela se mudando para a acalifornia com ele, eles se casando, ela ficando grávida e a familia que eles formaram. Tema: Tema: ator, sulista, rico, traidos

[Sofia Lazaridou · Rating 2 out of 5]

Sole is a super short story that's intended as an epilogue to Hollywood dirty. I wasn't familiar with the series when I read this story in the For the First Time: Twenty-One Brand New Stories of First Love book and I was a little lost. I might have enjoyed the story more if I were familiar with the characters, so I would recommend not reading this one, until you have read the rest of the series.

[Paris · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was a fun, sexy check-in with a couple that I definitely wanted more of. I'm so grateful that Alessandra wrote this for Summer and Cole fans so we could see how things were going for them after Hollywood Dirt ended. I really enjoyed this and would love to check in with them again someday....

[Katyana · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is a freebie extended epilogue to Hollywood Dirt, available on the author's website. It is super cute and makes me all warm and fuzzy. I really love these characters, and would happily read endless pages about the rest of their lives together.

[Jennifer G. · Rating 5 out of 5]

Really short, cute, perfect epilogue! I adore Cole and Summer. What an awesome couple/ family. So thank you for a little more about this great couple.
And again, I can always read more about them!!! Keep them alive in the future books. Love it!

[Karla Mendoza · Rating 2 out of 5]

Había para mas de estas pocas paginas, me hubiera gustado leer mas sobre esta parte de la vida de Cole y Summer, a pesar que se siente el cambio en los personajes, por momentos sentí el cambio de Summer y fue interesante, quisiera haber podido leer mas de esa nueva chica.
