Publisher Description
Ali and Flynn were high school sweethearts. Eager to see the world and leave behind their small Georgia hometown, they’d planned for an exciting new life together after they finished school.
But on graduation day, only one of them hit the road.
Eight years down that road, an unexpected loss brings Flynn home again. He’s a big-shot photo journalist, and he’s made most of his plans reality. But he’s done it alone. Is it too late for his biggest dream to come true?
Ali’s spent those years working hard, raising a daughter and helping her brother keep their family farm alive. Thinking about Flynn and what might have been is a pain she tries to avoid. . .even when it’s impossible to forget.
Flynn’s return brings back feelings Ali thought were long dead and hopes she’d abandoned. Finding their way back to each other will change them forever, opening old wounds and stirring up memories.
Can the first love be the one that lasts forever?

The First One by Tawdra Kandle
5 stars
Flynn is a good honorable man, with a huge heart, a strong love for his family, and a heart still broken by his first love and high school sweetheart. Ali is a good, honest, loving woman, a great mom, and has sacrificed a lot to keep her family together and happy. Ali also has a kept a huge secret from Flynn ever since graduation, when her heart was broken, and she had to pick up the pieces to raise her artistic, happy daughter.
When Flynn and Ali meet again it is obvious that despite all the hurt there is still a spark between them. The journey they take to heal and co-parent is full of kindness, compassion and eventually a passion they just can’t deny. I really loved their love story, the evolution their relationship took, and how they took a healthy path to their future with honesty being a vital part of the process.
Once again Tawdra’s writing wrapped me into this sweet southern world and I couldn’t put this book down until I finished. I have no doubts my heart will get wrapped up again when the final book The Only One is released.
