Last Kiss (First and Last, #2)

With the way that First Touch ends, I was anticipating Last Kiss because everything would be different now, a true test. Just when Reeve and Emily were turning a corner, where the walls were beginning to come down and to develop trust, the circumstances change in the most challenging of ways. And I loved this new element because it was guaranteed to fuel so many emotions while reading - angst, love, hate, heartbreak, doubt, and devotion. I was battling trying to read this quickly and slowly because I wanted to see what would happen next while enjoying the journey.
All the things I wanted to see and know about Reeve come to light. He does not disappoint at all, because the Reeve Sallis in Last Kiss is the real deal compared to the one in First Touch. I absolutely loved Reeve. I always knew Reeve was extremely perceptive, but have discovered that he's also rather intuitive, too. And when Reeve sets his mind to something, he doesn't give up, ever. He can read Emily better than she realizes as she tries to sort out where her loyalties lie and what she's willing to sacrifice in the name of love. Emily is a really fascinating character to me because she is constantly questioning herself and what she deserves, but at the same time, she really will put herself last. She's not a born fighter, but she's always been a resilient survivor.
The additional past flashbacks between Emily and her best friend Amber were enlightening. They were so different from one another and I could see how they were drawn to each other and what made their friendship so strong and solid as well as the opposite. When remaining the details are revealed, I was impressed by how the clues were there all along even though I didn't put it together myself. The suspense element is still present, but maybe at a little bit less momentum than in the previous book because Emily's quest has shifted gears. The complexity of the relationships explored in this book had me hooked. As much as I thoroughly enjoyed First Touch, I loved Last Kiss even more.
