I can’t wait to see what’s next from this author.Sharing First by Molly McadamsStrike Out by Myra McentireThis is My Sign by Hannah MoskowitzGoing for Broke by Lyla PayneFor the Sake of Science by Mark PeriniLove in an Elevator by Carrie RyanBunga Bunga by Andrew ShafferWith the Lights On Alessandra ThomasField Emotions by Melissa WestGrind by Tracy Wolff

The only story so far was about J. Lynn's story about Ollie & Brit, part of the "Wait For You" Series. The story was too short but it gives an insight into the couple's short time together as a lead in to the Wait For You series. Wish the author would have spent more time on this couple.

I have to confess I bought this book for Molly McAdams short story Sharing Firsts, A Sharing You Prequel but I ended up loving so many of the authors, Sophie Jordan, Julie Cross, J.Lynn./Jennifer Armentrout and Melissa Landers just to name a few. I was really surprised at how much I enjoyed reading all the short stories, I'm usually a person that wants the whole story and more. Great authors with some really great stories.....anyone that enjoys contemporary romance you'll love this book!

I bought it because I wanted to read Two in the morning from Roni Loren. But I read the rest of it as well. It is a great collection of first times, from different point of views, different kinds of people and some stories are really interesting. I enjoyed reading it! Especially Roni's story.

I always love anthologies. I get to meet new authors. There were some really good stories in here and some not to my taste but that's the nice thing about this book. There is something for everyone.My favorite authors in here are Roni Loren and Andrew Schaffer. I loved both their stories and was upset when they ended. Wish there was more to their stories.I encourage you to give it a try. Meet a new author you've never read. You might fall on love with an author.

This book should be bought for J. Lynn's story alone. Anyone who is a fan of her Wait for You series will love her short story. But this anthology had several good stories both from authors I knew and authors I plan to check out. They were different and fun and all about love. I highly recommend!

I would recommend this to anyone who likes New Adult stories or wants a taste of this genre. There is a good mix in this book. A few of the stories follow characters from series by well known NA authors. I really enjoyed Sophie Jordan's Crash, Lisa Desrochers' A Little Too Scared, J. Lynn's Believe in Me, and Melissa West's Field Emotions.

This anthology combines a variety of romantic situations among many types of couples, broadening and defining the New Adult genre--a joyous romp through the Elysian feilds of love, to savor, one delicious experience at a time.--Peter H. Green, Author of Fatal Designs, a Patrick MacKenna Mystery

Fifty First Times is a great way to sample the New Adult Genre for anyone wanting to dip their toes into the genre, at the same time it allows the seasoned fan like myself to try new-to-me authors and get exciting short stories from favorite series (Oh yeah we get Ollie’s story SQUEE)As always with any short story, it’s left me wanting more of each of the characters. I’ll certainly be seeking out more from the authors I hadn’t previously tried.There is something for everyone in this anthology; gay, straight or curious ;) You won’t be disappointed.

I bought this book purely for J.Lynn's short story for Cam and Brittany (which was a really nice story, although i would have liked more from them!). I was pleasantly surprised by a lot of the short stories, and it was nice to read stories form authors I've not heard of. The only downside to this anthology was that i wanted to know more about the characters and how their stories developed.

Overall I enjoyed the stories. Some really left you wanting to know more of the characters. Other's were perfect short stories where it was enough to leave what happens to them to your imagination. It is more YA focussed so not the same level of heat as the adult genre but a nostalgic trip back to those feelings of first love.

It was very different read from others books but I liked it. It was very interesting and very well written. The stories had good characters and were also interesting.

I bought this purely for the j lynn story which was amazin the others were good some more than others but all in all a good read.
