When it came down to a choice between his career and his girl - he chose the career. He's travelled the world and seen sights he wished Carly was there to experience. He's had relationships along the way but nothing meaningful.
Carly has had relationships but nothing that lasted. No-one could compare to Grey.

Nothing Like The First Time is a tale of how nothing compares to your first love. There are trials and tribulations Carly and Grey must overcome on their way back to each other... what if they can't get over the obstacles life throws at them...
 
My Review -
This fabulous NA novel is about two characters called Carly and Grey. They were high school lovers and shared every single living moment together as well as special events and passion creating a memorable and desirable bond that can never be forgotten.  However when grey got a huge job opportunity to become a freelance photographer he took the chance creating a strain on these two loved up teenagers ending the relationship.  Time passed and both characters were ten years older than their teenage selves when they later bumped into each other again leaving a few assumptions to be lingering in Carlys mind as grey was not alone in a place they use to go in their younger days. Will their feeling be rekindled?
The characters featured in this novel were extremely credible for their realistic personalities and actions throughout. The romance that is shown and described throughout the book is again very realistic with a reminder and clear understanding of how many relationships happen and can later turn out.
When reading ‘Nothing Like The First Time’ you will need to be prepared for the many tears that may be rolling down your face and the happiness that will also arise having you smiling ear to ear in no time.
Did any problems arise? Well I will let you in to a little secret … be prepared for the shock that happens towards the centre of this incredible book!
I would recommend this book to any reader over the age of seventeen due to sexual contents and the language throughout capturing a mature audience to read and enjoy another great read by Keren Hughes!

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.

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 you want to contact her, you can do so at any of the following places:
