The Perfect First by Maya Hughes
5.0
The Perfect First was the perfect book! I love how Maya Hughes writes a flawed, new adult, hero and turns him into a redeemable, loveable man. Reece Michaels turned into such a gentleman and was so easy to fall for it was hard to remember he needed a social coach in the beginning of the book.
Also, experiencing all the firsts with Seph, was like watching a child open presents at Christmas. The magic was infectious. Reading The Perfect First was infectious, unputdownable, complete romantic fun.
Reece MIchaels is on track for the NFL draft, but his college coach feels he needs some social skill finesse. If he really wants to make the first round draft, he needs to quit showboating and handle interviews better. When Reece arrives at the coffee shop, where he supposed to meet his media specialist coach, he takes a seat in the booth across from the only woman dressed up in a suit. It's not until the questions take a strange turn that Reece begins to question who the football coach hired to help him out.
"Okay, this might seem a little invasive, but how long is your penis?"-Seph
Once Reece figures out that Seph isn't there to be his media specialist, but there to find a guy to help de-virginize her he not only finds himself intrigued by the straightforward girl, but also a little afraid of who might actually answer her ad. Even though Reece is solely focused on football and doesn't offer up his services right then and there, he can't keep his thoughts off of Seph and he he eventually agrees to help her on one condition...no sex. He'll help her cross off all other firsts on her list, but he won't take the ultimate plunge, literally with her.
"Us seeing each other was about her list. Things I took for granted, she relished and stared at with wide-eyed excitement."-Reece
Persephone "Seph" Alexander was looking to break out of the prison she lived in. Metaphorically that is. She has lived under a controlling father her entire life. For the first time, while attending Fulton University she has finally found some freedom, but her father wants to cut her time short and have her back home. Knowing her time is limited Seph creates a list of all the things she's never done; eat greasy food, go to the movies, skinny dipping, eat breakfast for dinner, go on a date, lose her virginity, just to name a few.
"A virgin. I didn't think those were still out in the wild once college started."-Reece
Seph had always lived a calculated, precise life, so she went about finding a lover in the same manner, by placing an advertisement. Set up interviews, ask the right questions, and select the perfect candidate. It was going to be easy. Unfortunately, people don't work exactly like mathematical equations. Thank goodness there are accidents when it comes to human beings and things don't always work out perfectly. Reece thankfully was the perfect exception and Seph was glad he happened to sit across from her that day. He may not want her physically (bummer), but she's glad he decides to befriend her (a first for her) and help her cross lots of other firsts off her list.
As Seph and Reece experience the simple joys in life, little did Reece know that not experiencing a big thing like sex would make Seph even more tempting to him. Perhaps he might want to renegotiate.
"She'd gotten so fully and completely under my skin, I didn't know how I'd existed before I met her."-Reece
