Synopsis:
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.
Featuring stories from some of the hottest names in New Adult, Young Adult, and Romance including New YorkTimes Bestselling authors J.Lynn/Jennifer Armentrout, Molly McAdams, Sophie Jordan, and Carrie Ryan.

Interview question: Tell us about your story’s main character(s):
Andrew Shaffer: The unnamed narrator is a booksmart English major who spends too much time studying and not enough time partying—at least according to his best friend Allen.
Julie Cross: Audrey appears quiet and timid on the outside, but inside she has gifted intuition when it comes to reading people and a fierce loyalty to those she loves.
Lisa Desrochers: Rene Vargas’ army unit was blown up by a roadside bomb in Afghanistan, and she’s scarred in more ways than one. She’s kickass is so many ways, but her whole life has changed, and now she’s left to discover who she is…with some help from Rick Hamilton (Lexie’s dirtbag ex from A LITTLE TOO FAR).
Mark Perini: Luke comes off a bit nerdy, but he’s got an inner Juno cool that he’s just now figuring out about himself. He wants that movie romance but doesn’t think it’s in the cards for him. Well not yet anyway.
Melissa West: Summer is strong and opinionated, and Blake is a classic guy’s guy with a huge heart.
Myra McEntire: Ben is not your typical jock, but he is an amazing athlete. Liza is a go getter with a crunchy shell and a smooth center.
My First Time Story:
In honor of the Fifty First Times theme, each blogger is encouraged to post a first time story of our own. I’m going to keep this clean and tell about my first “real” job as a New Adult. I’m not talking about the job I had at TOGOs while I was in high school (that lasted about a month), I’m talking about my internship that started my career in environmental compliance. I was at U.C. Davis at the time and my major was in Chemical Engineering. After attending multiple career fairs, I finally got an internship with a local air quality management district. I interned there part time for a year while I finished my degree and got some really good experience and insight into air permitting from an agency’s perspective. I now work for a consulting company helping industry clients obtain such permits and stay in compliance with them. At that first “real” job I learned a lot about how an office environment works, interacting with others and using tools like Outlook. Seriously, that is not stuff you learn in school. Feel free to share a (clean) first time story of your own in the comments.
