First

This story slowly builds the relationship between Tommy and Mike. Mike has been around and then some but it doesn't seem to be as much fun as it had been. Tommy is learning a whole new way of life and is getting over his culture shock. I love how this unlikely pair seem to be perfect for each other.

This was a good story, but I found the age difference to be hard to get past. I felt the narrator, Gregory Salinas did a really good job conveying the innocence in the character Tommy. He gave each of the characters, including the minor ones, a distinct sound. The plot of the story has Tommy being shunned by his religious family when he comes out to them during winter break. Taking refuge at the home of his college roommates family home, Tommy tries to pursue a relationship with an older bartender at the gay bar he has been frequenting. Mike tends bar on weekends. His other job is a gay porn star. Use to being hit on by guys who just want to be with a porn star, Mike is hesitant to start something with the quiet, shy, young man that comes in every weekend to drink cherry cokes. When Tommy shows up with a black eye, Mike’s protective nature comes out. After a late night talk, Tommy tells Mike that he wants him to be his “First.” There is definite chemistry between Mike and Tommy, but again I felt the 20+ year age difference hard to accept. Yes I know that there are many couples with big age differences, I just didn’t find it believable. The story moved along quickly, and the narrator did an excellent job keeping me interested in the story. The story had a good ending with a nice HEA. The author did make the characters real with extensive character development.

I love older men and stories with older men and younger men are always on my to-read list. I l also love K.C. Wells as everything she writes is so hot but has a great storyline to balance the heat.
First is a story of Tommy a young college man that is a virgin with high morals and also comes out to his parent. He gets a crush on an older bartender and once their relationship develops he finds out That Mike is also a porn star.
This is a great story of how life isn't always how we plan.

I listened to this on Audio and was swept into both Tommy and Mike's lives. The story is so hot and interesting.

If you like older men, coming out, Firsts, second chances, romance and very hot man-sex

Very nice story. I like the idea of a shy but determined young man setting his sights on a mature man to introduce him to sex, and then finding more. Tommy and Mike were both endearing. The supporting characters were enjoyable and fairly believable. The material about the porn industry was interesting as well; however, I felt that Tommy's reaction to learning about Mike's other job was resolved a little too quickly to be credible, given what we are told about his background. Overall, though, I would recommend this book.

I haven’t hit a story by Wells that I haven’t liked. So good. Love Mike & Tommy, and their interaction throughout the story is amazing. Loved the banter, the growth from both, and the angst. Just really well done.
