Last First Kiss
Sparks fly in this second chance m/m rom com when an unlucky-in-love event manager realizes the man-of-honor at the high profile wedding he's planning is the same man who broke his heart.
They say you never forget your first kiss. But Jordan Carter wishes he could forget the one he shared with Jamie Peters as teens. And the one they almost shared again last year before Jamie made it clear he wasn’t the “right” man for Jordan to be with while he’s figuring himself out.
Now, Jordan’s fully focused on his career at 24 Carter Gold, his family’s event planning company, and ready to move on - until his boss assigns him to plan a new client’s high-profile wedding. The bride’s man-of-honor? None other than Jamie.
As things ramp up the closer they get to the wedding, so does Jordan’s relationship with Jamie, with sarcastic asides turning into steamy hook-ups. But can Jordan afford to pursue Jamie if he’s still unsure who he is? Or is knowing who he loves enough? Venue shopping, cake-tastings, and dress fittings with the man he can’t forget just might change the man Jordan Carter is meant to become.

Last First Kiss is the type of book that reminds me why I love romance. This is easily a 6 star book.
Julian Winters is becoming a favorite author, he is brilliant at writing ya books but he shines even more at adult romances. I didn’t think it was possible but I love Last First Kiss even more than I Think They Love You. I love these characters so, so much. I loved Jamie a lot already, but I feel so much for Amy too, and even Javi.
Jordan, well, his story arc hit a little too close to home for me.
I’m asexual, and it is so damn hard to find good representation in books, but what Julian Winters did here was just perfect. The doubts, the second guessing, the desperation to find that spark that everyone talks so much about, the wish to just understand. It was so brilliantly done, I can only thank the author for doing such a good job. The message about how you can find yourself doesn’t matter how long it takes, everyone has their own time, is so important too.
Bottom line is I love the topic, I love the execution even more.
You bet I will be screaming from the rooftops when this book is released in January, but for now please add it to your tbr, you won’t regret it.
Thank you Netgalley and St. Martins Press for the ARC, and above all to Julian Winters for another amazing book.

Even though I hate third-part breakups, I just hit that five-star button without a second thought. Like Julian Winters says in his author notes, what a couple of goofballs these two are. From the first page on, I was hooked on their story. I adored their “comfort checks,” and those small flashbacks were top notch. This book has all the feels of fanfic (third person, present tense) and so many lovely scenes. I rooted for Jordan and Jamie constantly, and that scene when Jamie was sick … I just kept smiling.
What stood out to me most, though, was the demi rep. Not being able to label yourself, just knowing you like that one person—figuring yourself out as an adult—it’s done so beautifully. Wow. That last part made my eyes shine with tears.
This might be my favorite Julian Winters’ so far!
Thank you so much, St. Martin’s Griffin and NetGalley, for this beautiful ARC!

This was my first time reading a story from this author and, sadly, the writing and the narrative structure aren't working for me. Lots of descriptions, inner thoughts that interrupt dialogues, past events sometimes shown through flashback scenes in the middle of a chapter and sometimes as a part of inner thoughts - making the story feel disjointed, conversations that don't sound authentic to me. All of it keeps taking me out of the story.
I didn't connect with the characters and the relationship between them. They have a mutual friend, so they are sort of friends who used to hang out when they were teenagers, but the way they act around each other, I don't see that. Jamie feels like a romance cliché. There’s one particular thing I didn’t like. The introduction of Javi’s character as Jordan’s "workplace rival" also felt cliché and unbelievable.
The book is not listed as a part of a series, but it is obvious that we are supposed to be familiar with most of the characters and events that happened in another book, based on how many times they are referenced here.

OMFG THIS BOOK! Wow, I'm absolutely BLOWN away, Last First Kiss had EVERYTHING I love in a BEAUTIFUL friends to lovers (and a bit of idiots to lovers too) story that I read in a SINGLE DAY because I couldn't put it down. As an Atlanta resident, I always love that Julian Winters brings Atlanta into his books, but the Kirkwood, Decatur, and OMG Little Shop of Stories references all had me smiling. There's an EPIC soup scene that was LITERALLY perfect, with even more caretaking to follow, I was GIDDY. The wedding planning plot was fun, and I loved where it all ended up. Jamie is delightful, I love a border collie MMC. And WOW, that was one PERFECT demi awaking story, I love Jordan's journey SO MUCH. Yes, one of the MMCs has my name, and while I can't prove this book was FOR me, it feels like it is. Definitely a new favorite, HIGHLY recommend.

I loved 'I Think They Love You', the first book in the series and I was so excited that I got approved for this one. Thank you to Netgalley for the ARC in exchange for my honest review.
A lot of the time when an author writes about a character on the asexual spectrum, it tends to lean into the virginal/you're the only one for me stereotype and generally comes off in bad faith. In Last First Kiss, even though Jordan was inexperienced, the focus was not on that. Rather, it was on him figuring out his identity and where he fit in. The way his experiences and self discovery was written made me feel seen.
The writing itself was pretty straightforward and immersive, simple but not bland especially for a romance book. I liked both the main characters, Jordan and Jamie and I genuinely did enjoy reading about them. I also appreciated that most of the side characters were also queer like yassss fuck the straights!
The one thing I do have an issue with though was with Cheryl, her misogyny and Jordan enabling it. There's a scene where Jordan acknowledges that his mother's behavior of blaming the women he goes on dates with for it not working out is wrong yet he still basks in her coddling. It not only irritated me at that point but also at the end of the book because it became clear that while Jordan was making amends and calling out his mother and other people for how they treat him, the author did not see this particular bit of misogynistic writing as something to be offset or addressed in the narrative, at least on page. It was quite disappointing if I'm being honest.
Overall I enjoyed the book. It managed to grab my attention and keep me interested even as I'm currently experiencing the worst my attention span has ever been. I look forward to reading more from the author!

I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
Last First Kiss picks up about a year and a half after the events of I Think They Love You, following Jordan, Dex’s cousin, as he tries to figure himself out and his place in the family business, all while falling head over heels for Jamie, Dex’s best friend.
First, I think it’s important to stress that this book is a sequel. While it can technically be read as a standalone, it will completely spoil everything in I Think They Love You. I’d actually bought that one and was keeping it for a rainy day, but by the time I realized Last First Kiss was a sequel, I was already 15% into it with no hope of forgetting what I’d learned. So thanks for that, I guess.
I ended up pausing this book to read I Think They Love You first, and I’m glad I did, because both protagonists are very present in that earlier installment. But I wouldn't call Last First Kiss redundant: it offers a refreshing dose of new drama for the protagonists to work through before they reach their happily ever after.
As much as I enjoyed the book overall, I felt it suffered from major pacing issues, which made the experience rather tedious at times. The characters are funny and touching. I found Julian’s experience relatable as an ace person myself-sometimes it’s not as simple as “just” liking some genders, both, or none. Sometimes it feels like more trouble than it’s worth to try and label yourself. I really appreciated the representation and how lovely the cast was.
That said, everything takes too long to happen, especially at the beginning, which really dragged for me. The conflict with the love interest (the main reason the MCs can’t get together right away) doesn’t appear until 65% into the book, and the third-act conflict between the MCs is pretty weak. The timeline of events also felt inconsistent: a “heavily pregnant” woman in book one ends up with “fourteen-month-old twins” in this installment (so roughly 16 months have passed), but a flashback chapter still refers to “last Valentine’s Day” as the one from I Think They Love You (impossible, there should have been another Valentine's Day between). These inconsistencies kept pulling me out of the narrative, as I found myself constantly trying to make sense of the timeline.
Overall, I’d rate this book closer to 4 stars than 3, but I’m knocking off a star because it’s unacceptable not to have marked this book as a sequel on Goodreads, NetGalley, in the blurb, or anywhere in the book itself. This completely spoiled the first book for me, and I’m honestly tired of publishers and authors tricking people into buying sequels without proper warning, regardless of whether they can be read as standalones.

I squealed when I saw there was a sequel to one of my favorite romances, I think they love you. This is in the same universe and even in the same family and business, 24 Carter Magic. An event planning company has so many potential storylines and this story follows a quick planning of Atlanta’s high society wedding of the year. The brides best friend and man of honor, Jamie, was Jordan Carter’s first kiss and crush. Back in their elite private high school, they had pot brownies, played Mario Kart and shared a kiss. Now Jordan is working with him as he helps his friend Amy plan a quick and beautiful wedding.
Does this work as a standalone? Sure, but it ruins the plot of the first book, and it isn’t one to miss.
Read if you like;
Second chance romance
Demisexual/pansexual representation
Family business stories
Wedding planning stories
Flash mobs
I genuinely appreciate how Jordan is figuring out his sexuality, and the complexities that go along with that- not only in Jordan’s mind, but also Jamie’s. Not everyone is up for being someone’s “first” experience.
I read a quote recently that said “some people are bisexual in the sense that Michael Jordan once played professional baseball. And you are no less part of the LGBTQ community.” In this case, pansexual, but the sentiment is the same. And this was handled in such a great way, there wasn’t much homophobia/internalized biphobia. The characters were transparent and real. I loved the chemistry and the dialogue.
Thank you to NetGalley and St Martin’s Press for the ARC. Book to be published 1/27/25.

4 stars. Rife with longing and reminiscent of some romcom classics, Last First Kiss is both an excellent romance and a perfect self-discovery story.

Thank you @youhadmeathea for the advanced copy!
I love @wintersjulian . This is a Julian Winters fan account. @adibkhorram and I are the president and VP of the Julian Winters fan club. Julian’s second adult romance book is fantastic!
I LOVED following Jordan and Jamie and their sparks from I Think They Love You. It was so sweet to watch their love story unfold from flashbacks and present day. The wedding shenanigans added to the fun and yall…. That initial first kiss?? And then AGAIN AS ADULTS!!! And THE CAR!! And SHOWER YOU SAY?? 😏
Julian writes such gorgeous love stories but at the heart of them is loving yourself, being true to you, and finding you people. I cried for the last ten percent of this book cause it felt like Julian was talking to me directly. As someone who is often alone, and sometimes feels like they are growing in loneliness, it just really hit home.
The ending was perfect (grand gesture!!) and the epilogue?? Amen.
I love getting to read Julian’s words. We are so lucky to have him!!

I LOVE that Julian Winters is writing adult romances now, because he is AMAZING at them. Sweet and steamy with characters who feel so utterly real and alive, this was an absolute delight from beginning to end. He's become an auto-buy author for sure!

I really wanted to love Last First Kiss, but unfortunately it didn’t quite land for me.
I struggled to get into the story due to what felt like a lot of filler. At times, the writing reminded me of short stories I wrote in high school…. heavy on descriptors in a way that seemed to aim for depth, but instead pulled me out of the moment. This isn’t meant as a dig at Julian Winters as an author; the style just leaned more corny than authentic for my personal taste.
That said, I genuinely appreciated the core of the story; particularly Jordan’s journey as he begins to question and understand his sexuality. I think that storyline will resonate with many readers, especially those navigating similar feelings, and there’s real value in how that exploration was presented.
Surprisingly, Jamie ended up being my favourite character (next to my queen Amy who was too precious for words). Even though he also fell into the “corny” category at times, it somehow worked for him and made his character feel charming rather than off-putting.
It was also fun revisiting Kami, Denz, and Braylon from Winters’ “I Think They Love You”, and I enjoyed getting to know Javi a bit more as well. Luckily for me the story picked up noticeably in the final chapters, and I thought it ended on a satisfying note.
Was this my favourite queer read? No. But I did finish it with a smile on my face…and with the hope that this book might help someone feel a little less alone while questioning their sexuality, and remind them that it can be as big or as small of a deal as they want it to be 🌈 ♥️
2⭐️ for me, unfortunately.

This is a follow-up story of sorts from I Think They Love You and revolves around the world of 24 Carter Gold. Here, we finally get to see the story of Jordan and Jamie, who we met in the earlier book and left me curious. As much as I enjoyed I Think They Love You, I think I liked Last First Kiss just a little more. Jordan and Jamie are such interesting and layered characters, and Julian Winters crafts a story that holds your interest and keeps you invested. The emotions are real, and the characters' struggles feel relatable. All in all, this was a super fun read full of emotion, a little humor, and just a touch of spice. I had a good time.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC of this book. So this was a super cute second chance romance, and I definitely recommend picking it up. The pining between the two MMC‘s was just top-tier. As always, miscommunication happens and tensions arise. It’s rare when I wish there was a bit more tension but I wish there was more in the beginning, just because it would’ve made the payoff of the relationship so much more special. I did not realize that this was a second book in a series so it can definitely be read as a standalone but I immediately added the first book to my tbr because I enjoyed this one so much. In the end, I’d rate this book 4.5⭐️

"Kissing you is like... sitting in your pajamas watching movies all day. It's like soup when you're sick. Like being high - so f*cking high."
"Jamie, it's a rush and it's comfort and it's home. Kissing you is like- Like knowing I'll never be alone again."
This! Book! This was everything I wanted in a romance book and more. This is a book not only about romance, but self discovery and acceptance. I love Jordan and Jamie so much individually and together. I just love this book so much it's hard to put it into words. 🥹
Julian Winters the author that you are.
Thank you to St. Martin's Press - Griffin for the ARC! ✨

4.75 stars (rounded up!).
“I Think They Love You” was one of my favorite romances early this year, so when I found out there was going to be a sequel, I was beyond excited. And let me tell you, it did NOT disappoint. Honestly, I almost hate to say it, but I think I loved this one even more than the first!
“Last First Kiss” gives us a friends-to-lovers story between Jordan and Jamie, but it’s also a deeply personal story of self-discovery for Jordan. He’s unsure of his sexual identity and has spent most of his life assuming he’s straight because that’s the default—something expected of you even when you’re surrounded by a supportive, queer community. The idea that you need to label yourself or “come out” if you’re anything but straight is such a complex, messy thing, especially when there are so many identities and so little mainstream representation or understanding of them all.
Jordan’s journey to understanding that he’s demi/on the ace spectrum, is handled with such care and nuance. I really appreciated how Julian Winters spotlighted this identity and took the time to show what that can look like in practice. As someone who’s also navigating my own identity and realizing I’m not straight, I felt so connected to Jordan’s experiences—the uncertainty, the reflection, and the quiet moments of realization. The language Winters used to capture those emotions was both intentional and gentle, which made it hit even harder.
And beyond all the important representation, this book was just so precious. Not gonna lie, my eyes were sweating a bit with how sweet some of the moments were. The flashback scenes of Jamie and Jordan’s friendship from high school through the present were full of heart, and watching their relationship grow into something more was pure joy. Their care for one another, the slow build, the payoff, it all just worked so beautifully.
I just really love them. That’s all.

This was such a good friends-to-lovers rom-com !
Maybe a bit cheesy at times but in general quite cute and feel good. There was a lot of pining and angst, mainly from our MC Jordan, who at the start of the story is still struggling with self discovery and his sexual identity. I really liked the demi and pan representations here, and thought they were well done. There were also a few interesting side characters, but my favourite was Javi, the work rival turned friend - I hope there will be a story for him next. I didn't know this was sort of a sequel to another book, but it can definitely be read as a standalone (although I'll probably read that one soon, as I was quite curious about the fake dating between Denz and Braylon)

Review of advance copy received from Netgalley
Just like I Think They Love You, Last First Kiss has a fun writing style, very fitting for a romcom. Despite that, I ended up enjoying this less than I Think They Love You. I felt like it took a long time for the story to really get started, and even when it did, I missed some much-needed depth. I almost feel like Jordan and Jamie were fleshed out more in I Think They Love You - they seemed so surface-level here, and I felt like they kept going in circles. In the end, I don't feel like this lived up to its potential.

Last First Kiss is the follow up sequel to I Think They Love You. I enjoyed it, but I like the first book better. The characters are funny and relatable and you are rooting for them to make it. But, the pacing was a bit off for me. Overall, I do enjoy it though.
Thanks to Netgalley and St. Martins Press for the ARC in exchange for my honest review.

how I love these two dorks!!
Nearly perfect (if we ignore the 3rd act break-up 🙃) and the demisexual rep was chef's kiss.

Clearly I'm the odd one out with this opinion since this has many wonderful reviews. I know this is a rom com and it did have several cute moments that made me grin, but I think I was just looking for more substance.
The synopsis also didn't make it clear at all that this was a second book in an interconnected series. I would never have picked it up if I'd known. It could be read as a stand alone, but I'm sure I would have felt more emotional connection to the characters had I read the first book. I also felt Denz and Braylon were unbearably cheesy, the first couple from the first book.
Jordan is still figuring himself out. He's been on a string of unsuccessful dates that he struggles to feel any interest in. He's only ever felt something for one person, his cousin's best friend who he had a practice kiss with as a child. I hated his controlling mother, who was toxic in the way she shoved women at him. At least they went to therapy by the end, but she wasn't cute or charming.
He works at a family business that I found rather unrealistic; they're high-end celebrity event planners at a firm called 24 Carter Gold. When do the event planners become celebrities themselves with tabloid coverage? It reminded me too much of the soap opera Beyond the Gates. Love that soap opera but I don't always want that vibe in a romance novel. It just made me laugh at how glitzy they were.
I found Jordan fundamentally just boring. He's a competitive workaholic without a personality or interests outside work. He's handed an important wedding to plan, where he comes into the orbit of his childhood crush, Jamie again, who's the best man and inexplicably involved in every part of wedding planning. But the book focused on him at work and I don't find event planning as glamorous as the story made it out to be. I also found him and his coworker Javi more exciting together than Jordan and Jamie.
Their angst was cute but I just found them kind of bland together.
What I did love about this was the demi/pan rep. Jamie is pansexual and Jordan spends most of the book trying to decide his label and whether he needed one, which was relatable; eventually settling on demisexual. I'm demi myself and connected with many of his struggles. I was glad it didn't take the route of "I'm romantically and sexually attracted to no one except the love interest" which I find annoying about so many demi characters. Though it had a little of that. Jamie was the only person Jordan's been romantically and sexually attracted to. Even though he was questioning, I wish there had been one other person he'd had feelings for. Demi folks aren't nuns, we just struggle to feel sexual attraction without an emotional connection first.
I also love MM romance written by queer men because they talk about consent and safe sex in a sexy way. I loved how they did a "comfort check" in the sex scenes and talked about PreP and aftercare.
I also thought the wealth difference between Jamie and Jordan was rather glossed over. He had family money and nepotism; Jamie was an incompetent bartender.
So in short... this was cute, but I just wanted a bit more from it. I'm sure Javi will be the next character in the series,
but I wouldn't read more in this series.

5/5 stars
”I deserve the right to decide how much and who I share myself with.”
I stayed up past my “bedtime” to finish this and it was so worth it. I am definitely shedding a manly tear as I type this…
What a beautiful love letter to romance, discovering yourself as an adult, and Atlanta that this book is! There is so many delightful references to different rom-coms as well as real life places around the Atlanta area.
This is hands down one of the best romance books I have read in a while; books like this remind me about what I love so much about the genre. It isn’t just about the relationship and love between two people, but also learning to love yourself. It is so rare that I see demisexuality getting its “time to shine” so to speak. I really enjoyed seeing Jordan’s journey through navigating this in his adulthood and the discussion about labeling yourself (or not). I saw so much of my early twenties in this book and related to Jordan so much. This is truly such a beautiful story even aside from the romance.
But speaking of romance, I think I fell in love with Jamie Peters myself. Julian Winters is a masterclass at writing romance and I think we all need to be reading his books. This was the perfect balance of emotional connection to spice for what I personally enjoy in a romance. All the side characters felt very dimensional and real, as well. We, of course, got some glimpses of Denz and Braylon (miss you guys) and I loved that as well.
So basically… I need all of you guys to go get this book and read it. Thank you.

This book was not a bad book, but it also wasn’t for me. I feel bad leaving a less than stellar review when the book doesn’t come out till next year, but I did arc read the whole thing. If it hadn’t been an arc, (and netgalley didn’t penalize you for not finishing) this would have been a DNF for me pretty early on. It did get better for me though.
This book could absolutely be for someone else. Especially if you love Hallmark movies, but wish more of them were queer.
What you can expect from this book:
-Hallmark movie vibes
-Wedding planner and the bride’s bestie
(Really why is he even there??? Idk anyone rich enough to ever use a wedding planner, but seems weird that the bestie is there?)
-Other person drama - this was sooo annoying to me
-A little cringe / cheesey at times. I had to sit it down and facepalm, but I could literally see the scenes in my head in a Hallmark movie kinda way.
-Everyone’s name starts with a J. I was confused a lot.
-Second chance - not convinced he deserved another one tbh
-Demi/Pan rep
-I did love the references to other great queer reads 👍🏻
The third act was incredibly frustrating as I felt like the wrong man in this couple was taking the brunt of everything. Jamie was extremely unlikable and didn’t show enough growth for me.
I would recommend this to someone who loves a good romcom / Hallmark vibe MM. I had a few chuckles. Thank you SMP for the review copy!

A Joyfully Jay review.
4 stars
Last First Kiss by Julian Winters is an engaging second-chance romance, with a fun peek into the event planning business. While the story is not listed as part of a series, Jordan’s cousin, Denz, has his own book, I Think They Love You, that ties closely to this one. That story focused on Denz and his sister competing to be CEO of 24 Carter Gold and those events, as well as the development of his relationship with Braylon, are mentioned here. Jordan grew up close with Denz, and Jamie is Denz’s best friend, so Denz is a prominent part of both their lives. So while I had no problem following along here without having read the first book, the stories are strongly connected and those familiar with Denz and Braylon’s story will probably enjoy the way the books work together.
Overall, I found this an appealing second chance romance and liked the added element of the event planning storyline. I have enjoyed some of Winters’ young adult stories in the past, so I was happy to get a chance to check out this entertaining story.

Last First Kiss by Julian Winters is like reading a queer Hallmark movie. It's a cutesy, feel-good, definitely cheesy, romcom about two childhood friends turned...something...turned nothing...getting their second chance. While the I didn't quite understand why one of the MMCs (who was the best man of a bride to be) was brought along to every meeting with the wedding planner (the other MMC) it made for a lot of easy interactions with tension and fun banter and easy set ups. I enjoyed the sexuality representation here, and I enjoyed watching one of the MMCs sort through his journey of sexuality and relationships. The entire cast of characters is fun, and I could see lots of continuation potential in this series. I wish I had known this was the second book in a series, but I think it can easily be read as a standalone. I did get a bit exhausted with the constant Mario Kart references, and like I mentioned, this does get cheesy. The tense of the book was also a little awkward, but overall a cute read!

Thank you to St. Martin’s Griffin and NetGalley for the uncorrected proofs in exchange for my honest review.
I really quite enjoyed this second chance romance! The characters were varied but had a good mix of personalities (even though a couple —cough Javi cough— at times felt added as placeholders for conflict instead). I also liked that the theme of the book wasn’t just romance or some conflict around the romance, it was instead about finding yourself. And to do this, Winters included many identities we don’t often see — pansexuality and demisexuality being the two main ones. But it wasn’t just our main character Jordan finding himself — it was Kami continuing to situate herself after the events of the first book, it was Jamie finding his voice against his parents, and even Javi finding his identity in community rather than just "good press".
Side note, Julian, my guy — there are so many J names in this book, and as a double J name myself I just gotta ask: why do you hate us (yourself included)?
As for negatives/constructive critique, my main comment is that things move way too fast and it causes some decisions made by characters (and by Winters) to seem… odd? I don’t know how best to put it, they just felt off at times and I’d be taken out of the flow of the story. There’s an example of the scene in the shower after Jamie explains he's too sick to stand, and another one is how suddenly the tension between Jordan and Javi disappears after they kiss? Pacing is hard.

I love Julian Winters and his writing is so easy to just pick up and read.
I enjoyed being thrown back into the Carter family and their business but I couldn’t get into Jordan and Jamie’s friends to lovers as much as I did with Denz and Braylon’s relationship in I Think They Love You! Even though there was a HEA, there wasn’t enough compared to the amount of “will they, won’t they” and all the family drama that happened.
However, I did appreciate Jordan’s journey into discovering himself as a demisexual! And I love the Atlanta setting and knowing all the places the author put into the story.
I hope the next book focuses on Nicola and their fiery personality!

This was fun! I loved the family dynamics in the book and I’m a sucker for a good friends to lovers dynamic with some bumps along the way. Jordan and Jamie felt natural with each other. The Carter family felt like a real loving family with their own issues to work through that was a good back drop for the rest of the story.
