Making the First Move Reviews

What critics are saying:

Making the First Move by Reese Ryan“It has a good pace and is wonderfully written. I loved the characters and the storyline. The emotions run deep…” ~ Cozy Reader, The Romance Reviews, 4-Stars

“I loved this story, the romance, the family, the heartache…well I just loved this very well written book. I have a book boyfriend list that will forever include Raine. Everything works in this story and it had me experience just about every emotion I can think of. I hated seeing it end…” ~ Jonetta, The Book Nympho, A+

“There were many surprises I didn’t see coming and this also added to the pleasure of reading the novel. The characters are depicted with depth and credibility and both main characters have realistic personalities. MAKING THE FIRST MOVE is a very entertaining story and I savored every moment of every page.” ~ Susan Plummer, Romance in Color, A

“Making the First Move by Reese Ryan is an engrossing fast read of first love, growth, reluctance, release and resilience. The characters developed by Ms. Ryan are so realistic that you see family and friends embedded in the personas of her characters.” ~ Bookshifter, Night Owl Reviews, 4.5 Stars–A Night Owl Reviews Top Pick

“The author has a fun and fresh writing style and intertwines the lives of her main and secondary character with vivid detail.” ~ Desere, Contemporary Romance Reviews, 4.5-Stars

“There was so much that was rich and good in this story… Those who enjoy spicy Contemporary Romance should give this one a try.” ~ Sophia Rose, Delighted Reader, B+

“I really got into it and couldn’t wait to see what was going to happen next. The author held my attention throughout the entire novel. I really liked the surprises along the way.” ~ OOSA Online Book Club, 4.5 Stars
