The First Kiss of Spring by Emily MarchMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
I love the Eternity Springs series, and "The First Kiss of Spring" is a delightful addition to the previous books. We've met the heroine, Caitlin Timberlake, before, as she is the daughter of previous characters Mac and Ali Timberlake and the sister of Chase Timberlake. I enjoyed getting to know Caitlin better in this installment of the series as well as receiving updates on her family and their friends in Eternity Springs.
The hero, Josh Tarkington, was very interesting due in large part to his mysterious past, which is slowly revealed over the course of the story. What is clear from the beginning is that Josh is a very caring individual, as evidenced by his love and care for his elderly neighbor and disabled dog, Penny. He was a good match for Caitlin and I enjoyed watching their relationship grow.
My favorite thing about books in the Eternity Springs series is that they stand very well on their own for readers who do not have previous experience with the series, while also allowing longtime fans the opportunity to check in with favorite characters from past stories. I hope that Ms. March will continue to introduce new, compelling characters and write books in this series for a long time to come.

NOTE: I actually read this book back in June 2018, prior to "The Christmas Wishing Tree," which is the following book in the series. However, I just realized today that I had forgotten to post my review. My review of "The Christmas Wishing Tree" can be found here.
