Starred Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐/5

I was in desperate need of a quick read. This book came to my rescue along with Str8te Guys by Evangeline Anderson. Loved that erotica by the way. Also a MM Romance. I was more than happy I stumbled on these two books. Read them in one night. Yeah, one night. Who needs sleep when we have a book, right?

The First and the Last Review 

The first and the Last was a MM Romance by Jessi H Reign. A friends-to-lovers omegaverse. The paranormal romance began with the growth of Sully and Jules from their high school years until they became shifters. The two saw each other as best friends until a Storm flew through their pack. Okay, not an actual storm but a woman called Storm. A mind-blowing threesome and the males realized they liked the experience of each naked a little too much. 

I hoped that wasn't a spoiler. But, I thought that was the inciting incident since I couldn't put a finger down on the actual one. That night, Storm's request pushed the men out of their comfort zone. Well, to me, it did. 

I was a bit lost in the former chapters. Kept asking myself why did all that mattered. Why didn't Jessi start the story the way she did? Thankfully, the latter chapters revealed the importance of the former chapters. Not to mention how easy it was to read the story. I read it in one night — despite the continuous reminder that I had work the following day. Did that stop me? Nope. I went to bed at four in the morning. 4 o'clock! 

The lack of sleep was worth it, though. I enjoyed the latter chapters of the novel. Once it started, I couldn't put the book down. Sully was too cute. The best boyfriend to slap on my list of book boyfriends. Jules's honesty was refreshing. Adorable. I enjoyed it a lot more than I thought I would. The fact that they were willing to fight for each other even when the odds were against them warmed my heart. 

I was still a little reserved about the former chapters. Something in the back of my head kept saying Jessi could have started Sully and Jules's story better. It would have been epic if she did. Thus, I rated The first and the Last four stars out of five stars. 

I would easily recommend this one to readers who are born from families who reprimand certain acts. Suppressing oneself for the sake of others isn't always the best route. Sometimes it's okay to be selfish. Fighting for what you believe in and who you love is self-elevating and never an easy task. But the outcome will make you happier than hiding who you really are.
