You always remember your first time…
Whether it’s the couple who decides not to go through with it, the two boys who finally aren’t ashamed, the newlyweds whose wedding night could very well be their last night together, the deaf pair who have no choice but to take body language to a new level–or, of course, the two young lovers fumbling and laughing, getting everything wrong. These are the memories that will never fade.
Join nineteen fantastic authors as they pull back the curtain and give you a peek inside that one intense moment in their characters’ lives when everything changes and nothing will ever be the same again.

NOTE: These stories are works of fiction. If you want to know about our first times, you’ll have to buy us a pet monkey first.
Thoughts: When I first heard about this anthology I was intrigued, and then I read it and I wanted more of it.
This review is going to be really short because to talk about each of these stories would be crazy. So I’m just going to point out a few that I really loved.
- Field of Emotions by Melissa West
- With the lights on my Allessandra Thomas
- A Little too Scarred by Lisa Desrochers
- Two in the Morning by Roni Loren
- Believe in Me by J. Lynn (this is a prequel to Stay With Me)
- Sharing Firsts by Molly McAdams
- Strike Out by Myra McEntire
- Love in an Elevator by Carrie Ryan
All of these short stories are A reads in my book. Believe in Me is an A+ and I can’t wait to read what happens with Ollie and Brittany. I’m really hoping to have a what happens next with the guys from Roni Loren’s Two in the Morning because that was one great story. In A Little too Scarred Lisa Desrochers does an amazing job of showing how an IED in the middle of a war can change a twenty year olds life forever.
Over all this is one amazing anthology.
Grade A-/B+
