Nothing Like the First Time
By: Keren Hughes
Limitless Publishing
Genre: New Adult Contemporary Romance
Coming May 20th, 2014
Synopsis:
Carly Summers and Greyston Sterling were each other's first kiss, first sexual experience, first love, first everything...
They were a match made in Heaven, that was, until Grey took a job as a freelance photographer which took him to the other side of the world. When it came down to a choice between his career and his girl - he chose his career.
Now, 10 years later, Grey's back in town and wants to see if they can rekindle what they had all those years ago. Carly has had relationships but nothing that lasted. No one ever compared to Grey.
But how can they if he's engaged to somebody else?
Excerpt:
“So
your career comes before me?” I asked, already knowing the answer. “At least
look me in the eye and answer me, it’s the least you owe me Grey.”
“I
don’t want to have to choose Carls,” he said as he caught my eye. “I just don’t
want to miss out on the experience of a lifetime. I get to see amazing things,
capture them on film while I experience the different cultures.”
“Just
answer the question Grey – you want your career more than you want me.” I
started to cry again, I had wanted to get through this without crying but I was
fooling myself when I thought that.
“I’m
sorry Carls,” he said as he took my hand into his. “I love you, I always will.
But this is the opportunity of a lifetime, it may never happen again. I need to
do this. I’m not making a conscious choice to put you second but if you weren’t
so stubborn, you’d come with me like I asked.”

About the Author:
Keren lives in the UK and is an avid
bookworm; she has been since she read things like Black Beauty, What Katy Did
and The Hobbit as a child. Her first real memories of reading are the summers
she used to lie on her bed and re-read What Katy Did and What Katy Did Next.
Over the years she has come to realise that
she is a bit OCD about books. They have to be in perfect condition without the
slightest bit of damage.
She is a book reviewer and has been for the
past 18 months or so.
The idea for Stolen came to her one day but
she never thought she’d actually write it let alone publish it. If it wasn’t
for her author friend Kira Saito, the idea would still be stuck in her head not
on paper. But constant love and support from Kira is why you are now able to read
Stolen.
Stolen is her first novel but now that
she’s written one, she knows she needs to write more. There will be one sequel,
called Freed which will be from Bodhi’s POV. This will be set a couple of years
on.
Then, the plan is for her to write either
NA or Adult Contemporary Romances. She has a big crush on Lady Antebellum’s
music at the moment and their songs have inspired a few book ideas.
Keren loves hearing from her readers and if
