Love at First is the story of Will Sterling and Nora Clarke whose lives intersect because of a Chicago apartment building. Will inherits his uncle's apartment and wants nothing more to sell it and move on, but there is a clause saying he has to keep it for a year. He plans to renovate it and list it as a short term rental. Nora lives in her grandmother's apartment which she inherited after her grandmother's recent death. The building houses a colorful cast of elderly characters who, led by Nora, resist Will's efforts to rent out his apartment. The feud escalates as Nora and the apartment residents get to know Will.
Love at First is a well-written, sweet, enemies-to-lovers romance which addresses the importance of found family, and how childhood baggage and fear can be barriers to love. The point of view alternates between Will and Nora which helps escalate the tension, as Will and Nora, against their initial wishes are drawn to each other.
