In WHILE YOU'RE AWAY: OUR FIRST ENCOUUNTER BY Jessa Holbrook, Will and Sarah meet in a chance encounter their lives change forever. Sarah and Will both are in relationships with other people but basically flirt with each other. Can Sarah and Will keep away from each other or will they give into their passion?

This is the first installment in a six part series and I really enjoyed reading the first part. It was packed full of intense scenes and feelings. Both Will and Sarah have significant others and don't want to give into temptation but they both pretty much do and when that happens their both taken on a crazy journey. WHILE YOU'RE AWAY: OUR FIRST ENCOUNTER was very exciting to read and I can't wait to see what happens in the next installment to Will and Sarah.

SUMMARY

Once a cheater, always a cheater? From the moment Will and Sarah first set eyes upon each other, they know that what they have is special. There's just one little problem . . . each of them already has a significant other. After flirting with danger, it becomes clear their passion is too strong to be denied. But even if they make their relationship official, there are plenty of challenges in store. Will leaves for college at the end of the summer, while Sarah faces her senior year of high school in their small suburban town. Long-distance relationships always come with their fair share of troublesβ€”mismatched schedules, jealousy, and temptation are only the beginning. Can cheaters ever change? WHILE YOU'RE AWAY is a steamy story about a love triangle, a long-distance relationship, and learning the true meaning of commitment.
