Love at First Kiss

Love Comes First #1

by Olivia T. Turner

It was only supposed to be one night.
A thousand dollars to pretend to be Nolan Cline's girlfriend.
How could I say no to that?
I was probably the only virgin escort on the planet, but Mr. Cline didn't have to know about my lack of experience for the job.
All I had to do was hang onto his arm, smile, and look presentable to the rich CEO billionaire's friends and coworkers.
It was all great until I saw the possessive and territorial look in Nolan's eyes when he first spotted me in my red dress...
Then, I knew that there wouldn't be any pretending between us.
It started in the limo... it continued at the gala... until we were so consumed with the need for each other that I ended up looking anything but presentable.
I might have been the first virgin escort on the planet at the start of the date...
But I definitely won't be by the end of it.

After one look at his pretend to date, Nolan Cline shows Arya just how much of an Over-The-Top possessive alpha he really is. SAFE, no cheating, and a sweet HEA that will have you grinning and blushing!

***4 STARS***

I really enjoyed this short novelette. It was well written and although it took place within twenty four hours it felt full.

Nolan needs a date for a charity gala and his sister sets him up with her friend Arya. It is instalove for this couple. From the moment Nolan sets eyes on Arya he is in love and has all the over the top feelings which I love. And I absolutely loved the extended epilogues.

I’m excited to read this series and see how the other brothers meet their soulmates.

Good

I really enjoyed this story. Nolan needs a date to a charity function and his sister sets him up with her friend who she thinks is perfect for him. Arya agrees to the date because she needs the money but it soon becomes so much more than a simple date. The two were explosive together, their chemistry was off the charts. Nolan knows Arya was meant to be his wife and he will stop at nothing to get her to fall in love with him. I loved the scene with the car. What a way to lose your virginity, it’s a story they’ll remember forever. I also loved how the h got to live out her dreams as an actress and also be a mother.

Safety and Spoilers
Completely safe. No ow/om drama, no real drama at all. H’s past wasn’t mentioned but it was mentioned that he didn’t have time for sex and he didn’t crave it until meeting the h, h was a virgin. No abuse.

Super fun and pretty quick pace and steamy.

Nolan and his family are all about work work work. no funtimes always about business and making money. They have a charity to go to and not all the brothers wanna go but Nolan picked the short end so he's going. Thanks to his younger sister her friend whos a actress can fake being his date. And boy when he meets Arya its 0 to 100 he doesn't want fake he wants for real. as for Arya this was a easy gig be someones pretend girlfriend for the night get money but her spark with Nolan was sizzling that they didn't even treat this date like it was pretend.. he treated her like she was his real girlfriend. or wife..

and Nolan didn't take a break once they were in private he laid down what he wanted Arya as his real wife asap..

No ow/om drama, no cheating, secondary charas, sexy times, virgin girl and no manwhore (no info on his past)

there wasn't any real depth in the book. i know its a novella, but it certainly could've been some 20 page longer and the author could've given the relationship/plot/characters a little more depth. . .everything just felt weird.

Hot and sweet. But heroine was not an escort she was an actress. Virgin heroine, no info about hero's past.

I like that we are seeing more stories following brothers. First up is Nolan. Nolan drew the short straw,or did he,and has to attend a benefit. Nolan’s sister finds him a date, Arya is exactly what he needs. Steamy night of first love and some chuckles. Great epilogues,HEA,completely safe.

Nolan es uno de los 5 hermanos propietarios de una empresa multimillonaria, y todos son solteros y deseados, pero ellos no parecen tener interés amoroso en ninguna mujer. Para ellos lo más divertido del mundo es ganar dinero. Hasta que llega ese momento del año donde tienen que asistir a la gala benéfica de un cliente que es un poco...tradicional. Así que esta vez le toca la mala suerte de ir a Nolan y tiene que llevar una pareja, a la que su hermana está más que dispuesta a empujar en sus brazos.
Arya nunca ha estado en una gala benéfica tan lujosa así que está nerviosa por ello y por gustarle al hermano de su amiga. Sólo que en el momento en que se ven por primera vez está claro que eso no va a ser ningún problema.

Ha sido lo de siempre y aunque eso suene mal para mí no lo es. Me encantan las historias de Olivia así parezcan todas iguales. Me ayudan a despejar la mente por un rato de mis lecturas más extensas. Así que ya sabéis que contiene esta historia: amor a primera vista, hombre posesivo obsesionado con su mujer, muchos bebés y final ultra feliz 😁

OMG I'm dying. Nolan is OVER THE TOP POSSESSIVE LIKE OVER THE TOP. So extra he gets mad when Arya shakes Mr. Brown's hand. Like calm down. This is such a 180 from chapter 1 he seemed so disinterested in women and dating in general. I mean, I guess he hadn't just met the right woman yet, but still I haven't met the right guy yet and I'm still interested in men and dating in general.

Also, Arya's nervousness in the car was so endearing. She was like your every girl floundered in the face of a hot, sexy millionaire. Arya's an introvert, which I'm not sure is great for someone who wants to be an actress. I think most actors and actresses are extroverts and I think it definitely helps you. Also, she was saying fame is a byproduct of being successful at acting, which is true but not always. You can be (minorly) successful at acting and not be famous. I mean if you're super successful at acting, in the way most people think about success, yes, you will be famous. I wasn't sure if I wanted to read this book after hearing she's an actress, because I want to be one but I keep on thinking about it too much to the point of being anxious about it. But I was happier today and worrying less about it, and I really liked the blurb (it sounded really interesting) so I wanted to read it regardless. And I thought if it makes me anxious, I'll just stop reading it.

OMG imagine meeting a guy and that same night he tells you he wants to marry you. Reminds me of Frozen lol. That's crazy. It's one thing for a guy to think that (that she's the one), it's another thing to say it! omg I died when they were caught fornicating by hundreds of people. I would be so embarassed. Arya handled it really well. I probably would have cried to be honest.

This book is so over the top. 3 epilogues? lmao.
Lol, I was waiting for that second epilogue where she becomes a successful actress. I mean who knows if she would have gotten that role in the movie without Nolan (probably not) but... Damn, their life seemed all rainbows and happiness... filthy rich, incredibly successful professionally, very happy in love and children. I'm jealous lol. I would love to trade places with Arya (after meeting Nolan, not before lol, her life sounded hard and uncertain).

[Jen ♥ · Rating 4 out of 5]

Fun, short, and sweet. I had so much fun reading this ridiculous novella and I'm here for all of it.

The whole story happened over night. Nolan (31/32) needed a date to this auction and his sister told him that Arya (20) (her friend) is the best woman for the job since she was an actress.

This is so ridiculous and everything happened overnight, but I'm really digging it. It had me laughing like a maniac on that scene where they revealed the grand prize for the auction, that was freaking hilarious 😂

Like I said, since the plot is ott absurd. Arya and Nolan got married the next day. See? Ridiculously, but whatever they were so good together.

I liked the 3 epilogues that shows their lives years later. I'm definitely reading this whole series.

With around 70+ pages I don’t expect to much of a story. I mean it’s the typical spiel: super rich guy, struggling girl and over possessiveness

[Dana · Rating 1 out of 5]

Don't get it?

I really don't understand how these books are getting so bad? I used to love reading these but it is almost impossible to continue. You actually have the girl through the sunroof in the limo? Seriously?

[Catherine · Rating 1 out of 5]

Interesting premise, but a lot of little red flags led me to lose interest around 25%. The way the hero displayed his attraction towards the heroine felt wrong and inappropriate. I've read my fair share of over-the-top novellas that require me to suspend my disbelief, but the tone in this felt inconsistent and the writing didn't work for me.

“You want to be an actress?” I ask her. She nods with a shy smile. “I know, it’s silly, right? Everyone says that it’s unrealistic, but I just—” “It’s not unrealistic,” I interrupt. “And it’s definitely not silly. I just met you and I could spend the next hours, days, or weeks staring at your breathtaking face. You’re the most interesting and beautiful girl I’ve ever seen. You can do whatever you want.” (pp. 24-25)

He literally doesn't give her a chance to explain her passion and story. He just talks over her. And the stuff he says makes it sound like he's giving her permission to do whatever she wants. And that her value lies mostly within her beauty/appearance.

The box doesn't condemn sex-negative talk.

“Family is so important,” Mr. Brown says with an approving nod. “Conservative family values is what has made me my fortune. Believing in God and staying away from the temptations of the flesh. I always worried about trusting four bachelors with my investments, but I feel much better knowing that you’re a family man, like me. Will you be having any children?” “As soon as I can put a baby into her, I will,” he says, watching me with a passionate stare that makes goosebumps rise all over my skin. I can’t tell if he’s saying it for Mr. Brown or for me… (pp. 31-32)

“So, that was the guy? Mr. Brown?” He nods. “He invests a lot of money with us.” “He doesn’t seem to approve of your lifestyle too much.” “Yeah, well, Mr. Brown is very conservative. I bought him shares in an upcoming fashion magazine and he made me sell them when he found out that they had a model in a bikini on the cover. He thinks sex is the devil’s work.” (p. 33)

One of the rare good quotes:
I heard once that the sign of a great relationship is when both partners think they got the better deal. I don’t know what Arya thinks, but I know that I got the better deal. I know it with every waking moment and I never take it for granted. (p. 72)

Love At First Kiss, Book 1 of the Love Comes First series, was about 32-year-old Nolan Cline, co-owner of Cline Corp., and almost 21-year-old Arya Hendrix, a girl from Arkansas who moved to New York to attend acting school.
Of his four brothers, Nolan lost a "whoever draws the short straw" contest and had to attend a charity gala that none of them wanted to go to. Their younger sister, Brooke, had a friend (Arya) that she told him she could get to be his date since he not only didn't want to go but had no idea who he could get to attend with him. She offered Arya a thousand dollars to pretend to be Nolan's girlfriend for the night, and even provided her with an outfit for the night (think Pretty Woman red dress).
When Nolan arrived in the limo and saw her for the first time, he was already trying to figure out how to get her to the altar. Once they were in the limo, things got hot pretty fast.
This story was fast-paced, with a touch of angst, a lot of drama, and a whole lot of Insta-Love action. The main characters were hilarious, fully developed, and absolutely mature...with plenty of room for growth and change.
I didn't realize until I got to a specific spicy scene that I had already read this story at least once before. However, it was definitely worth reading again. It may have been a very short story, but it earned a five-star rating for the humor alone.

[Julianne Macneil · Rating 5 out of 5]

i read this book as part of an arc program. This is the story of Nolan, a billionaire businessman who works with his three brothers. They have a sister, but she decided she wanted to be an actress instead of working with them. Nolan gets roped into attending a charity event being held by one of their clients and his sister arranges for a friend of hers to be his date, if he pays her. Arya recently moved to New York to be an actress also and is a little nervous to be Nolan's date. When Nolan arrives to pick Arya up, he is stunned by how he is attracted to her and how overprotective of her he is. Nolan doesn't want to hire Arya to be his date, he wants her for real and is determined to have her. Arya is attracted to Nolan and wishes it was real, and when he introduces her as his wife, she wonders if she is dreaming. I really loved this older man/ younger woman instant love story. I think Nolan never realized he wanted to find love until he did. I love how possessive he was and how he would growl if anyone looked at Arya. Another good one.

[Marcie · Rating 5 out of 5]

I absolutely loved Nolan and Arya’s story. Nolan is a workaholic, with two brothers that are the same, and doesn’t have time to date...or maybe it’s because he hasn’t find the right woman for him. When he loses and draws the shortest spring roll, he has to attend a charity auction....with a date and Nolan’s sister knows exactly who can be his date. When he sees Arya for the first time, he just knows she is the one and realizes that this is it for him.

Olivia NEVER disappoints me with her stories and I loved this newest release!! Nolan is the growly, protective, sexy alpha that is Olivia’s trademark style. Arya is a sweet southern girl who moved to the big apple to live out her dreams as an actress. When these two come together, their chemistry could melt an iceberg and their HEA is one dreams are made of. I can’t wait to read Eli’s and Westin’s stories!!

****I received an ARC copy of this book directly from the author in exchange for my honest review****

First things first; I really like the cover of this book!
Love at first kiss is book one in the ‘’love comes first’’ series. This story is short, fast paced and an enjoyable read. I read this book in one sitting and was satisfied throughout. I found the writing style easy to follow, the characters likeable and the storyline enjoyable. Nolan Cline and his brothers are successful businessmen. When Nolan draws the short straw in attending a charity event, he needs a date. Arya is an actress that is short on money. When a friend sets her up on a fake date she never expected to find love. From the moment Nolan and Arya met, it all became real and no longer fake.
The chemistry between Nolan and Arya is clear to see and I loved them together. They made a cute couple. I love how possessive Nolan was of Arya.
I really liked the ending and the epilogue for this story.
The storyline for this book is easy to follow and it is an enjoyable read. I cannot wait for more books from this series.

"- ¿Pensé que se suponía que era tu novia?"
- "Y pensé que solo serías la amiga molesta de mi hermana y no el amor de mi vida".

Brooke es actriz y está cumpliendo un trabajo de acompañante para el CEO de una compañía de mucha plata... Nolan no quería asistir a esa fiesta, pero una vez que ve a Brooke, los 10 años de diferencia se esfuman como niebla cuando sale el sol y todos aquellos sentimientos que siempre espero sentir por alguien, se encienden como fuegos artificiales con esa mujer dulce y delicada.
Brooke entre lo tímida, el llamativo cuerpo y lo medio boba que es a veces (perdón!) aunque el no se queda atrás por momentos pero la magia del momento los lleva a otro nivel y son dulces a su manera y es una historia que tiene mas sexo que historia si es lo que buscas, seguro te entretienes.
¿Lo mejor? Los epílogos, amo los epílogos.

I actually loved this story. It was short but entertaining and enjoyable. I did a lot of laughing. The characters were interesting and likable. I loved how the brothers interacted and that it didn't stop just cause little sis walked in the room. There are plenty of feels. Nolan and Arya are immediately drawn to one another. Nolan is all-in immediately but knows that he needs to get Arya on the same page first. Arya is overwhelmed but kind of in a good way. She wasn't prepared for everything that he had in mind but soon got on the same page. Nolan was all about making sure that he could keep Arya and she was happy to go along with him. I loved their happy ever after. Nolan's brothers and his sister need books too! I recommend reading this book!

Turtles, turtles and turtles.... Oh my!


Olivia T. Turner has done it again! No one can write a panty melting story like her. Love at First Kiss is book 1 in Love Comes First a new series. The Clines are a family of billionaires. Nolan Cline meets Arya a young actress looking for her first break. Nolan is your typical sexy and hot OTT alpha. He sees the young Arya and it is insta love! Lots of hot sexiness and as always a very HEA. Hopefully the remaining Cline siblings will find their HEAs.

Actual rating: 3.5🌟

This is a book I got for free from Kindle store. I don't usually read short story because the pacing is always too fast for me. This is only 70+ pages.

This book is about a rich guy who fell in love at first sight on a budding actress. This is a dual POV kind of book. We both have Nolan and Arya's perspective. This is definitely a whirlwind romance.😅

The writing is engaging and I didn't feel bored. There are some cringey dialogues but all in all it was an okay read if you're looking for a short romantic(?) read.👍

Anında aşk, Yaş farkı (H30/20h), HEA, Fake dating. Bu tropelar varken bu kitabı nasıl sevmeyeyim ki🤭
Nolan’ın büyük bir yatırımcının müzayedesine gitmesi gerek ve yanında bir kadına ihtiyacı var. Fazla işkolik olduğundan hiçbir zaman kadınlarla işi olmamış ve yardımına kız kardeşi koşuyor. Kız kardeşi Arya ve Nolan’ın uyumlu olduğunu bildiğinden çöpçatanlığa başvuruyorda diyebiliriz😁 Tabii ki ilk görüşte aşk. Mecazen değil. Ertesi gün direkt evleniyorlar. Yıllar sonraki hallerini okumakta çok tatlıydı🤍
