Meet the Author:

Elizabeth McKenna works as a full-time technical writer/editor for a large software company. Though her love of books reaches back to her childhood, she had never read romance novels until one Christmas when her sister gave her the latest bestseller by Nora Roberts. She was hooked from page one (actually, she admits it was the first love scene).

She had always wanted to write fiction, so she combined her love of history, romance and a happy ending to write Cera's Place and Venice in the Moonlight. Her short story, The Gypsy Casts a Spell, is available for free on her site http://elizabethmckenna.com/. She hopes you will enjoy her first contemporary romance novel, First Crush Last Love, as much as others have enjoyed her historical romances.

​Elizabeth lives in Wisconsin with her understanding husband, two beautiful daughters, and a sassy Labrador. When she isn't writing, working, or being a mom, she's sleeping.

My Review
First Crush, Last Love by Elizabeth McKenna was an interesting book as it focused on a woman who has a psycho ex-husband and a boy who used to just want to be friends now wanting to be more. I found the dynamic to be interesting as the two main characters used to be just friends, but now that an interest for more has been put out there the dynamic between them has begun to change. I found myself really hoping that they would make it together and find love with each other  as they both clearly deserved it.
