Four Stars

First Kiss if the first book in the Heavy Influence Series by Ann Marie Frohoff. This story is about first loves, but also the agony of waiting because of an age difference. Ms. Frohoff does a wonderful thing weaving music throughout the book. Her character descriptions reminded me of the decisions made in young love. This book was a pretty fast read considering the length of the book and all the action packed in.

Alyssa Montgomery is a high school freshman that is starting to have feeling for the boy next door. They have know each other for years but just recently Alyssa starts having feelings for Jake. She is confused about these feelings but also feels like she has been electrified every time she is around Jake.

Jake Masters is an up and coming rock star with the band he and his friends started. Jake also realizes he has feelings for Alyssa, but what will happen when he has to go out on the road with the band? There are secrets on both sides. Their relationship will go through trials. Will they be able to keep it together? If they do will he lose everything he has worked for with the band?

Alyssa and Jake’s new love brought back memories for me of my younger years. The tough decisions made for first love. The story flowed perfectly with the ups and downs. Ms. Frohoff is definitely on my TBR list and I can't wait to read the next book in this series. Love the music! Love the Story!

First Kiss Heavy Influence Book 1 eBook Ann Marie Frohoff Reviews

I read a lot of books and generally write reviews of them all. I am quite stingy with 5 star reviews. This book had a lot of potential. There were things I liked about this book and things I didn't care for.

I will start with the positives

The length was pretty good considering this is a YA book. Normally YA books are too short to satisfy me. I also enjoyed the story line. The main characters were likable and believable, though I often found myself wanting to shake some sense in to them. I like the thought of young love overcoming obstacles. The age difference between the 2 characters was definitely relatable to teens now, as were the complications that arose from this age difference. I enjoyed getting inside both their heads with the dual points of view. It was nice to know how Jake really felt about her, so that I didn't spend the whole book thinking he was some older guy just trying to score with his cute neighbor. I liked how she inspired him. This book gave me a lot of angst and I really like it when a book makes me feel things. The author did a good job drawing out the teenage drama. And she really made me love Jake and Aly and root for them to defy the odds. I know the book is part of a series, so I don't mind the lack of final closure on this one and I am glad that it ending leaving me with some hope rather than devastated.

The things I didn't like

The editing needs some work. There were typos and missing words frequently enough to notice. I can overlook a few, but someone should have really caught these issues before publishing. Also the time gaps create much confusion. I like the dual points of view that the author used, but it would have made the story flow much better if when an event is going to be told from both perspectives if the chapters didn't go for several days and then backtrack to the other person's point of view on the event from last week. Also it would be helpful to note passage of time within chapters with line breaks. When paragraphs flow together it gives the reader an impression of continuous time (especially with no frame of reference), but that was often not the case. We would read about a time when Jake and Aly were together and then the next paragraph is a few days later, yet there was no indication that time had passed. I also had a problem with 2 chapters being told from Rachel's point of view. I think it is distracting to have only 2 chapters from her. The info in those chapters was necessary, but it either should have been presented differently or there should have been a few more chapters interspersed from her point of view to tie things together better. There were also some rather big things in my opinion that were presented and dropped with not enough info to deal with them. ********SLIGHT SPOILERS in this part********* When Jake dropped the bomb in the large intervention meeting that his mom never really knew his dad, that was never mentioned again. If I was his mom, I would want to know what he meant by that, yet she never mentions it that we know of. The plan that Rachel and Sienna were whispering about in the tour van and Dump told them to shut up, it would have been helpful to have a Rachel chapter to clue readers in as to what all was involved in her plan. At the New Year's Eve party we find that Jake and Aly were seeing each other in secret for months, yet we only got chapters about a couple of times of them seeing each other after the parent blow up. And the plan that Jake and Aly had to throw people off, there was no groundwork laid to clue readers in that they had a plan. Also there should have been some lead up about Eva James in the Jake chapters before he just plans to go to her party, especially if he had been seeing her. Also I did have issue with Jake's mom. She wasn't involved with Jake's personal life when he was drinking, doing drugs and screwing around, yet when he finds love and inspiration she finally decides to butt in and try to control things. I would have expected her to feel some empathy for her son falling in love, yet she came off really selfish and cold.

Five Stars

If I could give a book ten stars than I definitely would do so right now. Ann Marie Frohoff is becoming one of my favorite authors so glad that I was introduced to this particular author by a friend. Let me tell you, I’m a huge fan when it comes to rock star romances. If you like Leslie Jones Carnage, it has that feel. It’s different but for some reason the entire book I will admit I was comparing.

Though they are different I fell in love with both of these books equally.

In Skid Out (or if you read this book first - either way it works) you see Aly and Jake. Aly the young neighbor and Jake the up and coming rock star who is about to hit it decently big.

Aly falls in love. Fast. Hard. She might have been in love with him before she even realized it. First love. First kiss. New love.

Everything about this book speaks of teen romance. Aly’s inexperienced when it comes to relationship, discovering not only herself but Jake in the meantime. Jake is so sure of himself but when it comes to Aly he knows what he wants even if it meant taking everyone out in the process.

When things get hard and it is make it or break it what will happen with a couple that is madly in love? What happens when you can’t ignore what the outside sources are saying any more and give into what you know can be true. When you are ripped apart from everything you love.

Read this book you won’t be disappointed one bit.
