First Sight To Last
Fallen Angels Reviews (Updated Review 2008)
"I just love a good book with the right chemistry that brings the characters together romantically, yet lean toward danger around every corner. Sharon Horton pens a read that hooked this reader from the start. I really like the way she paints Singer, giving her pizzazz and a feisty spirit. I enjoyed the dialogue between Singer and Evan, and their expressions that just consume the reader. First Sight to Last is a story that grips, allowing the audience to share in the hardships the couple endure. Singer and Evan have a way of not only connecting with each other, but also with the reader. There were times I wanted to be there for them. With a great plot, sensational secondary characters, and intrigue that bites, this is one story that I found excellent. By adding a little bit of miscommunication, some shady characters and an interesting couple trying to push their feelings away, I discovered a story that left me feeling good all over."

FOUR ROSE READ AWARD!
"FIRST SIGHT TO LAST by Sharon Horton was a very enjoyable read. My attention was caught from the first page and did not finish until the happy ending. The novel was fast paced and the characters were strong and believable. The reader is kept wondering how the two will work out their problems and is sympathetic to all their woes. Ms. Horton writes excellently, and I look forward to reading another novel of hers again soon. For any that like a little mystery in their romance, I highly recommend this book."

"First Sight To Last, is an incredible story of found love then lost and reunited once again. Singer and Evan are special as their love never dies when they are apart but only grew stronger. There is a lot of emotions in this story from love, hope, mistrust, sad, guilty, heartache and blossoming love. The secondary characters are wonderful as they all play an important part of the story no matter how small in the story. Not only do we see the love of Singer and Evan but the love of Ted Saunders and Abby, a friend and fellow agent of Singer’s. Evan and Singer had an endearment for each other, “Singer always Singer” and “Evan always Evan”. Those three little words were all they needed to say to the other to let them know they loved each other deeply and always would."

"Sharon Horton has a vivid imagination and a keen eye for details but her talent displays much more. For a writer is a person that puts words on paper, but an artist is one who brings these words to life, and Sharon is a true artist. I recommend that everyone not only read this treasure, but buy it and enjoy it time and again delighting in the sweet fruit that only a talented artist can harvest from the written word. Thank you Sharon for a surprising story that kept me glued to the pages from FIRST SIGHT TO LAST."

"I really loved reading this book. It was fast-paced and very well-written. It's the type of story that, even when there isn't much action going on, you still have to keep reading to see what happens to the characters. This is a book I could easily see sitting on the shelves in Barnes & Noble; it has the same type of quality as some of the good romantic suspense authors. The romance, while turbulent, was very real and easy to imagine. First Sight to Last was dramatic and very emotional. The ending was as happily-ever-after as it could get, especially after what the characters went through. I love a story that pushes the characters through hardships without torturing them, then gives them the ideal HEA. First Sight to Last fit the bill perfectly."

"Ms. Horton's story is at times emotional and the reader will find themselves laughing, crying and then smiling. The dynamics between these characters is such that you feel like you're watching your best friend and want to jump in and help. You come to care for them and the trials they go through. The author has given us a story that will be thought about long after the story is finished."
Reviewer: Donna***
"FIRST SIGHT TO LAST is an extremely emotional read that is both suspenseful and surprising. Singer and Evan are strong and professional at times, yet heartbreakingly vulnerable at others. They care for friends and family, and both feel a commitment to helping others that goes beyond their job descriptions. They love and share; they argue and fight. There is happiness and there are tears. Singer and Evan face some devastating, nearly insurmountable obstacles that become the heart and soul of this story. FIRST SIGHT TO LAST will capture the interest of both fans of romantic suspense and those who enjoy contemporary romance. "
Reviewer: Alane Coppinger***
"Sharon Horton’s debut novel is a gripping read full of passion, mystery, danger and excitement. Her characters come vividly to life from the very beginning and she will keep her readers hooked and turning the pages until they reach the final, heartwarming conclusion. First Sight to Last is an unforgettable story which you cannot afford to miss written by a writer who is destined to go far!"
Reviewer: Julie Bonello***

"If I have to read a romance novel about a cop, I want
Reviewer: A.D. Roland
it to be by Sharon Horton. She keeps the characters
fresh and interesting...This book is well worth the
read!"***
"If you are looking for a typical romantic adventure
Reviewer: Johnna
tale where boy- meets-girl sparks fly and they'll work
together to solve some minor issue before ending up
happily ever after... look elsewhere. This tale has
some of those attributes but the issues these two face
are far from minor. Singer is a wonderful character,
complex and well formed. And the story itself is
unusual and entertaining. There are twists and
surprises thrown out at every turn and it will keep
you both interested and guessing at the outcome. So if
you are after something with more substance than a
typical romance pick this one up!"***
"This fast-paced, dramatic love story is replete with suspense, surprises and even humor. The well-developed secondary characters add depth and intensity to this story fraught with twist and turns, and seemingly insurmountable problems. FIRST SIGHT TO LAST is a story of “true love will find a way". Sharon Horton gives us a super “Happy-Ever-After” in its truest sense."
