Story
Everyone in Columbia Falls, Montana, believes Chelsea Friessen is a spoiled princess who is more trouble than she’s worth. They’d be wrong though, considering that tale was spun by a scorned high school crush and two years later is still the first impression everyone has of her. But then she meets a man whose personality is as arrogant as he is drop-dead gorgeous; if Chelsea was in her right mind, she should have been running away from him. The only problem is that this badass stranger walked into her life knowing he saved her from humiliation.

A beautiful, young American girl wound up stranded far from home on my doorstep. When she begged me to stay, I did what a good priest would do, and I said yes. But a good priest wouldn’t spend his days thinking about the fullness of her ruby red lips or feel the sting of envy with the way she draws men to her like flies to honey. A good priest would have stopped things before that first touch. And he certainly wouldn’t have given into temptation so easily, but when Cadence Thorn walked in, she brought me to my knees.

Publisher's Summary
Like his parents Andy and Laura Friessen, Gabriel knows what it means to face an impossible situation. When he puts up an ad looking for a roommate, he never expects to meet a down-on-her-luck gorgeous single mom with a meddling family, a crazy ex-boyfriend, and enough chemistry between them to heat a county. The only problem is she doesn’t believe in happily-ever-after and sees falling in love as a mistake only fools make. But Gabriel can’t stop thinking about her, wanting her, and is determined to show her the road to love isn’t as dangerous as she believes.

Sweet, yet hot story about young love.
The Friessens books are full of alpha male heroes coming to the aid of down-on-their-luck women and I really enjoy reading and/or listening to the stories. The First Time I Saw You is about Gabriel, Andy and Laura's son. He rents a room in his house to Elizabeth and her daughter, Shaunty. When he finds out that Elizabeth's ex is bothering her he begins to feel very protective even though they've only just met.
Reader's who don't care for insta-love type stories may not like this one but I know real-life couples who fell in love in less than a week and remained married until one of them passed away so this kind of story doesn't bother me at all.
This is the third book I've listened to performed by Lili Dubuque and I really loved listening to her voice. Her smooth, lilting tones were very soothing and calming and helped make the time I had to spend doing chores must less tedious.
All of the books in The Friessens series are great romantic stories and this one is no exception. I look forward to reading more books in this series.
I received a free Audible code from the author but this review was voluntary and not influenced by the free gift.

Very Sweet!
I enjoyed listening to this book. It was sweet and satisfying with flawed relatable characters and a wonderful happily ever after. It was my first book by Lorhainne Eckhart and I was happy to see that it was part of a larger series focusing on a very large family.
Elizabeth is a single mother down on her luck thanks to her crazy, stalkerish ex. Gabriel has a house he is renovating and living in and needs a housemate to manage the expenses of his project. It may seem like a match made in heaven but there is the ex to contend with as well as their personal issues. I do wish that there was more of a gradual buildup from Elizabeth and Gabriel's initial attraction to the actual start of their relationship. Considering their personal issues, their relationship started a little suddenly for me.
Lili Dubuque does a great job narrating the book. She is able to give the characters voices that match their descriptions and personality.
Overall, this book definitely a feel-good, sweet romance.
This book was given to me for free at my request and I provided this voluntary review.
