Book 1 in the Southern Comfort series
Eighteen-year-old Gage Harris is not a part of twenty-five year old Trent Foster’s plans. He likes Gage but the intense attraction between them makes remaining just friends unlikely, and the young farmer with two small children is a complication Trent doesn’t need.
Despite all the reasons to stay away, Trent is pulled into the small family. Gage’s boys are delightful and the young man’s honesty and genuine affection impossible to resist. Trent is intrigued by a life so different from everything he’s known. As he struggles to reconcile his plans with his feelings Trent begins to suspect that his random offer of a ride in the rain might lead straight to his last first kiss.

I had to put aside a number of qualms in reading Diane Adams' "Last First Kiss." The youth fetish of m/m romance is in full sway, since the main characters are 25 and 18. I also had to choke down a little incredulity at the idea of any teenager being quite as awesomely selfless as Gage Harris is. That forced me to take a sort of fairy-tale leap of faith. That said, however, the story of these two young men and their improbable romance won my heart and left me weepy any number of times.What appealed to me about this story is the idea that an ambitious young gay man, with a graduate degree from a prestigious southern school, would find himself captivated by an even younger man who seems on the surface to be a loser in every stereotypical southern-white-trash way; but whose personal integrity then becomes the main attraction.
Trent is resigned to singlehood after his first (and only) boyfriend makes it clear that his concept of fidelity is driven by convenience rather than commitment. The chance meeting with Gage on a rural back road leaves Trent smitten with his pretty face, but appalled at the circumstances of Gage's life - married with two little boys at the age of 18. As Trent begins to understand the facts behind Gage's tale, and to appreciate the deep personal integrity that guides him, his perspective begins to shift.
This is a long, slow, sweet burn of a romance. It is a story about finding goodness where you don't expect it; finding acceptance in a world filled with prejudice; and finding out that love can take you places you never expected to go.
By odd coincidence, I read this book while traveling for business, and found myself just a short drive from the small town in North Carolina where Trent lives. Adams has created a strong sense of place for this novel, and the locale plays a significant role in the story, adding authenticity and context. While weak editing distracts from Adam's good writing, it wasn't enough to undermine my enjoyment. .
Diane Adams seems to have written a lot of Christian fiction, as well as m/m romances, which strikes me an, um, interesting combination, to say the least. But, as a gay man, it makes me wonder some about the author's own story, as deep-south religion-based anti-gay prejudice is one of the motivating anxieties that Trent has to confront. Sounds to me as if there was a personal journey in there somewhere.

Last First Kiss edition by Diane Adams Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
Maudlin, sweet cute kids, sweet cute guys - I love a good love story - straight or gay - but this novel is very tough to get through. The characters are not particularly believable. The dialogue poor. No thanks.
This story had just the right amount of sweet and angst to make the plot very fulfilling. I loved the struggling farmer and his wonderful children and it was great seeing Trent slowly finding out that what he wanted in life, wasn't what he thought at all.
I stayed up until 430 this morning reading this book straight through. Gage and Trent are unforgettable, but little Nash stole my heart! I normally just up and start another book immediately, but this morning I couldn't make myself. I wasn't ready to let go of my involvement with these characters. I fell in love with them falling in love. I see this is a series and I can't wait for the next installment. I have a feeling Jax is next and I look forward to reading his story, but more importantly, I look forward to getting another glimpse into Gage and Trent's happily ever after!
Before buying this book, I read the reviews and one in particular could not deal with the age of the young farmer. After reading the book, my comment is, it's fiction make up your own details. The young farmer is one of the most refreshing characters in M/M fiction. He's responsible, put the needs of his children before his own ... What else can you ask for in a character?
I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. Depicting gay life in the south. How two guys meet, get to know each other and fall in love.
Heart-warming tale of family, taking chances, and stepping outside perceived comfort zones! Reviewers who have a problem with the MC's age don't live in the real world. A father at 14? Sad, but it does happen. More than society cares to pay attention to, obviously. This story was more realistic than the life-threatening situations that occur in most romances. This does not follow the normal formula, and I thank Ms. Adams for that.
The MCs are fantastic and the family angle was perfect. Read this book! I loved it. )
I'm not even sure how to start this review without a spoiler or two, because the beginning of the book unfolds slowly and tantalizingly and without a lot of warning the reader gets sucked into a situation that is hard to feature and startling.
Diane Adams creates such vivid characters and near-impossible situations, I just fell right into the incredible story that is Gage's life without question, even though my heart was broken for him.and Trent, the guy who takes a side road to work one day and gives him a ride. I never once thought about yelling "what were you thinking?" at Gage -- only at his parents and wondering where they were for him when he really needed them. For such things to happen to someone so young is almost inconceivable in this day and age, and for him to take so much responsibility upon himself is even harder to believe. Yet Gage does, and the author makes it believable and even heart-warming. And into this maelstrom comes the handsome city slicker, Trent, who quite against his will and better judgment becomes involved with Gage.
Last First Kiss pushed all the right buttons for me. Two very different men meeting under unlikely circumstances, becoming friends, learning to like each other even as a strong attraction simmers between them (great build-up of sexual tension;) darling little boys, a seemingly insurmountable situation, a scary misunderstanding when all seems lost, and a surprising twist which saves the day.
I won't say more, except that the writing is superb, characterization brilliant, story and plot intriguing and inspired, and two adorable little boys (did I say that? not fair, Diane!) makes this a book worth hunkering down with on a cold winter's day. You'll warm up fast and for all the right reasons.
