I received an ARC copy of this Box Set in exchange for an honest review.
I will be honest. I am torn. I would give amazing 5 Stars to the Authors that made me go and buy their books right after I finished their short story (they are tagged), but because of the rest I feel like 4 strong stars is more justifying the whole set.
All the short stories give us glance on characters First Times. Some of them are funny, some a bit tragic, some amazingly beautiful and emotional, and some, for me, a bit rushed?
I may like panting, steamy scenes, but I like some emotions there also. Ok, I like a lot of emotions, and with some stories I didn’t get any. Like none. Nada. I even skipped some sentences as I wanted to be over with them.
But the stories I loved? OMG. They were full of everything. Panting scenes, emotions and made me fan myself constantly. And from the length of the stories you can see that Authors wanted to show a bit insight into characters, not only: bang, sex and yeah, move on to the next one.
Ednah Walters, Heather Hildenbrand, Melissa Haag, S.M. Boyce, Tamara Rose Blodgett, Bethany Lopez, Nikki Jefford, Julie Prestsater, Ginger Scott and M.R. Polish – Thank you for those beautiful and sometimes heartbreaking scenes!
Thank you to all authors for their hard work on this compilation as the whole set in general is really worth reading :)

Something for everybody! (As long as they're not too young.) The book is a collection of ORIGINAL scenes that take place where other books left off. It's an great concept executed superbly. Many subgenres of YA/NA are represented here. Having come to this book by way of Milda Harris's Adventures in Funeral Crashing series, I had particular interest in the Kait and Ethan, and it didn't disappoint.
This book is a great buy and well worth your time.
