Second First Impression (Bluebell Falls Book 1) Kindle Edition
What happens when you get a second chance to meet?
Ainsley
I swore I’d never return to Bluebell Falls, but with a failing corporate career, moving back home is my only option. With a new virtual assistant job and a hot next door neighbor, things are going better than I could have imagined.
Now, instead of planning my next moves, I’m daydreaming about my boss and my neighbor. That is until I find out those two men are one and the same. With that reveal fresh on my mind and a work trip to Vegas with Ledger Hutton, everything has changed once again.
I thought I knew what I wanted, but is love enough to keep me from wanting more?
Ledger
My only goal had been stability, for myself, my siblings, and my business. Nothing else mattered. That is until my long lost crush moves in next door, needing a job and a friend. Both of which I am happy to provide.
Hiding who I really am brings on a handful of problems while my brain and heart war with each other over Ainsley Mathews, the one that didn’t have the chance to get away.
I know I have to tell her, but could I bear her leaving again?
Will their second chance at a first impression thrive in the small town of Bluebell Falls, or will it vanish like Ainsley the first time around?
Second First Impression is the first book in the Bluebell Falls series. Each book is a standalone, ending in an HEA, and should be read in order.

- Reviewed in the United States on February 8, 2024Format: PaperbackSecond First Impression by Samantha M Thomas is book one in the Bluebell Falls Series. I really enjoyed this so much, when I read the description I just knew this was going to be great. I finished this in about a day, it was just that good. The writing and plot was fabulous as were the descriptions, I could clearly picture everything. I love a good second chance romance and this was a sweet but spicy read. (It wasn’t overly spicy but it was done at the right times. Two thumbs way up!) I loved everything about these two main characters, Ainsley and Ledger. Their story at times really pulled at my heart. I also really liked the ending. Everything about this book was amazing. You can read it as a standalone but it is the start of a new series. I’m looking forward to reading the next book and just more from Samantha M Thomas. I definitely recommend reading this!
Final review:
5 out of 5 stars

- Reviewed in the United States on February 8, 2024Format: KindleThis is book 1 in the new Bluebell Falls series and this book follows Ainsley and Ledger. Ainsley is returning to her hometown after a career setback, she has taken a job as a virtual assistant for a growing, local landscaping company. Ledger is the owner of the company and he had a huge crush on Ainsley in high school. However she doesn't remember him. Ainsley has not met her boss, but when they run into each other, Ledger is incredibly awkward and gives her a wrong name.
Ledger is the very definition of Cinnamon Roll/Golden Retriever character. He is so sweet and caring. He is also delightfully awkward and shy especially around Ainsley. Once he gets to know her, his high school crush is full blown love. He falls first and he falls hard. He supports Ainsley in everything, he is incredibly patient with her (she is skittish about relationships), he takes care of her when she's sick! I just had heart eyes the whole time I was reading about Ledger 😍.
Ainsley was lost after she lost her job and her whole life was turned upside down. The last thing she wanted was to end up back in her small hometown, and that leads to Ainsley making some selfish decisions especially regarding Ledger, but the man is a saint and he keeps trying. This book, through Ainsley, really shows that it is ok to change your mind about the direction of your life and career, even in your thirties. That it is ok to be terrified by that thought and it is ok to take the time to figure out what you want!
I also love Ledger's siblings and I am hoping this series will be all of their stories. The siblings were so close and I loved the dynamic between all of them.
If you love small town romances with a cinnamon roll MMC, then you should definitely pick up this book!
- Reviewed in the United States on February 8, 2024Format: Kindle“Move the sheet, Ains” 🥵Ahhh I LOVED this book! Definitely a 5-Star read for me! This is the first book of Samantha’s I have read and now I want to read all of her books. The writing is fantastic and the story is excellent. I could not put this book down. Ledger is the absolute perfect book boyfriend with the perfect amounts of both sweet and spicy. I also really appreciated the fact that Ledger had many anxious moments, it made him feel more real and not just some perfect dreamy man. Highly recommend!
- Reviewed in the United States on February 21, 2024Format: KindleThe introduction into this sweet new town was perfect. The forced proximity between them was just what I wanted from this “no love, keep to myself” FMC. The banter between Ledger and his family gives the perfect amount of comedy and love from them.
Definitely give this a read!
- Reviewed in the United States on February 11, 2024Format: PaperbackI really enjoyed this story. I enjoyed reading about Ainsley and Ledger. Plus I always enjoy a small town romance story. This one did not disappoint. I really liked the Authors way of storytelling and I was interested & invested from the first to the last page. These characters made an impression on me as the reader. Looking forward to read more books from the Author.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 8, 2024Format: KindleThis was a delightful read! It's my second book by Samantha, and I'm even more impressed. "Second First Impressions" follows Ainsley Mathews, a 35-year-old who, burned out and burned by corporate America, is forced to leave her Financial Advisor job. She returns to her small hometown, Bluebell Falls, and takes a virtual assistant position for Ledger Hutton. Having successfully blocked out much of her memory of Bluebell Falls, Ainsley unfortunately doesn't recognize Ledger, the man who was two years ahead of her in high school and still harbors a hardcore crush on her.
When Ainsley meets her new neighbor for the first time, who happens to be Ledger, he pretends to be Dean. As she gets to know these two different men, eventually Ledger is forced to come clean. The question arises: can Ainsley forgive Ledger for lying about his true identity? Does Ledger get his chance at a second first impression? To find out, you'll need to delve into this second chance story, drawn in by elements of romance, family ties, career goals, friendship, and even a trip to Las Vegas where things begin to get steamy!
- Reviewed in the United States on February 10, 2024Format: KindleThis is book 1 in the Bluebell Falls Series. It was such a good book. The writing and the plot was phenomenal! This was a sweet but spicy read. But not too overly spicy. Just the right amount and happened at the right times. I loved everything about this book. I can’t wait to read the rest of the series!
