Luke Young is the Kindle-bestselling author of the Friends With…Benefits series as well as the novel Chances Aren't.

Young’s Friends With…Benefits novels are filled with passion, longing, comedy, and, yes, sex. His relationship comedies feature strong, sexy female characters — women who seize every opportunity for fun and don’t let a little thing like age stand in the way of love or desire. In each book Young sets different wheels in motion, applying his comedic touch and pitch-perfect ear for playful couples’ banter. The result is warm, funny, sexy storytelling at its best.

Young got his start writing screenplays, which earned the praise of contest judges while never quite making it to the “green light.” He adapted his second screenplay into a novel and found himself hooked on the new form. Since then, he’s released five novels, one novella, and one short story.

Young’s prolific nature is a gift to fans across the globe who have enthusiastically embraced the Friends With…Benefits series. This fan support has driven the books up the Kindle bestseller lists. If you enjoy romance, sex, and unexpected hilarity, you will love Young’s books.

Playing for Keeps - Cover

~Synopsis~

In the game of love… Fun-loving and always the life of the party, Kevin Morgan isn’t looking for a serious relationship. His light-hearted, playful attitude attracts many a female, and he enjoys their company. That is until their beautiful eyes turn starry, and they start talking marriage and kids. He just hasn’t encountered that one person that would make him even consider heading down the road to potential matrimony until... Katy Martin comes to town for an extended stay with his best friend and sister-in- law, Tori. Like Kevin, Katy is focused on her career and isn’t searching for a long term relationship. Already friends, Katy and Kevin find themselves spending more and more time together. Their adventurous spirits prove to be more than compatible. They are combustible. More than a snowstorm is brewing as attraction draws them together and desire starts a fire of burning need. Will trust issues and her belief that Kevin is just out to win the game of conquest hold Katy back, or will Kevin be able to prove to her that he is playing for keeps this time? *NOTE: Even though this is the second book in the series, it can be read as a stand alone novel *


Playing For Keeps - Teaser 4

~Excerpt~

He leaned down and planted a soft kiss to her forehead. “Night, Katy Kat. Sleep tight.” was all he said before we walked out the door. Sleep tight? Sleep was what she desperately needed, but she was afraid her dreams were going to be filled with a brown-haired, green-eyed devil with to-die for kisses that set her on fire. Lord, this could prove to be a very long month she thought as she headed down the hall to the bedroom.

~Review~

Katy and Kevin met because of their best friend Tori. These two have been slowly falling for each other and fighting their desires for some time. However when there are complications with Tori's pregnancy, they work together to make sure everything is getting taken care of. This means that Katy moves out on the farm in the guest house, and is with Kevin all the time.

However things aren't always easy. When there is a miscommunication, things start to unravel for these two people. Lack of clear expectations can hurt and cause problems, as Katy & Kevin find out.

Will they be able to move past and pick up the pieces?
Will they both be honest as to what they want and how they feel?

Their story is full of laugh, love, and even some tears.
However the Morgans prove that you don't count someone out until the very end.

Life's A Cappella by Yessi Smith







I want to tell you how great my life was. How I lived without regrets. With constant laughter. Without any tears. I want to tell you how I lived each moment to the fullest. How each breath I took was fresh and full of life. With eagerness. Without any fear.
I want to tell you all of that, but then my story would be masked with lies and not worth telling.
My life didn’t start until I left my past. And I left everything. My mother, my friends, my name.
My new name, the name everyone knows me by is Erin Lewis.

Four years after finding the courage to leave her hometown in Alabama, Erin is finally happy with where her life has led her. Not only is she secure in her environment, but the relationships she has formed center her, making her forget how damaged she once was. Before she can fully settle into her new life, her past crashes into her present, unraveling a set of events that destroy the very foundation she has built her new life on.


Erin Lewis is a broken young woman who is just trying to live her life. Erin hasn't had an easy life, in fact it was a destroyed, painful, horrible childhood. She leaves at the age of seventeen to start over in South Florida. She decides to go with her friends on a mini vacation before her last semester of nursing school. There she meets Trent, who helps to change her life.

Out of the blue, Emily gets news that rocks her world.
Her mother died.
And she has a little four year old sister who needs her.
The next morning she gets news that destroys her. Camilla,her best friend, dies after Emily pushes her away.

This is where everything changes.
Emily, and Shayna (her little sister) have no one else.
Will Emily be able to pick up the pieces of her life to help Shayna??
Will they be able to be a family?
What will happen between Emily and Trent??

Will this broken young woman be able to put herself back together and heal? Will her little sister? Will they have their happily ever after that they so deserve?
This story is full of love, laughs, and tears.


About Yessi Smith
I’m a Hispanic living in South Florida with my redneck husband from Texas and our “half breed” son, who is actually the reason I started writing again after years of celibacy. My son loves stories, but not the kind you can read in an existing book. No, he’d rather make up a story, complete with our own illustrations. So, thank you, Son, for igniting a flame I had let go out.

I also live with two dogs: a neurotic Border Collie we call Nitro and a midget Rottweiler named Nisa.
I have always found my sanctuary at the beach and in music and writing. I wish I could write rhymes so I could become a famous rapper, but rhyming is completely lost on me.

I have a Bachelor’s degree in Business Management and a Master’s in Human Resource Management. I have held several jobs, from picking up dog crap to upper management positions. And now I am hoping to leave the business world behind so I can live full time in a world that does not exist until I place my fingers on a keyboard and bring them to fruition.

Blessed (Book One The United Series) by Daniel Michael



**Cover Art and Design Copyright Louisa Maggio. All cover images remain the property of David Michael.
~SYNOPSIS~

Her twenty-first birthday was supposed to be the beginning of a new chapter. She had been preparing herself for the moment she would be a real adult for months.
There was no way she could have prepared herself for what happened instead.
As her nightmares became more real with each night and her behavior became less like her own, Ardra fought to stay on the path she had so painstakingly planned for herself with very little success.
When she becomes the owner of a creepily-human dog named Kaiser, she finds herself oddly at peace with the unexpected addition to her household and clings tightly to him when tragedy strikes and shatters her world.
As she fights to put the pieces back together without losing herself in the Darkness that is building inside of her with each terrible step off of her path, a rag-tag band of supporters rally behind her. Each one of them prepared to go to the ends of the earth and back
She must find a way to defeat the Chaos that has consumed her life or risk losing everyone and everything that she has left. Including her soul.

TEASER:
I threw my leg over my bike and started for her. The streetlight out front was busted, causing the place to be darker than normal. There was just enough light that as I walked behind her, I could see her sexy little ass encased in those prissy jeans she always wore. I caught up to her at the bottom of the stairs and reached out to grab her arm before she made it any further. Next thing I knew, Teen spun, her fist flying right into my nose; at the same time, she drove her knee up into my groin, dropping me like a sack of shit to the ground.
“F*ckkkkkkkk” I moaned, cupping my junk, rolling up onto my knees, and trying to get my breath back. Pain shot up into my stomach with each attempt.
“Oh, it’s just you.” Teeny breathed hard. I looked up at her through narrowed eyes.
“Oh, it’s just…F*ck, Princess. What the hell’d you do that for?” I wheezed.
“Well, you deserved it. You don’t sneak up behind a chick and expect not to get hit. Now, get up, dipsh*t. You’re making a scene,” she hissed, looking around the complex.

AUTHOR BIO:
What to say ? Errrr…
Lola hates all things sultanas.
Lola is a little strange and unusual.
Lola has no brain-to-mouth filter (this may or may not have gotten Lola into trouble – repeatedly).
Lola is keeping Coca-cola in business one 2lt bottle at a time.
Apparently, Lola likes to talk in the third person about herself.
This here is what my profile says everywhere:
Lola Stark lives in Australia, Is an at- home mummy with no filter, raising a hoard of minions. Lola has loved to read for as long as she can remember. When not wrangling the family, she can be found sitting at her computer, writing, facebooking or just generally messing around.
I know, I know third person again.
So what else can I tell you about me ?
I have a dog, 3 birds and a pet rock. I was a teen mum (DON’T DO IT). Right now, I’m alternating writing this and yelling at my kids to stop jumping on the bed and to go the fuck to sleep before I push them off. I may be a little.. okay, very inappropriate…often.
Junk food and I have an understanding: I eat it, it hibernates around my ass and thighs. I love music, almost any kind is fine by me.
I love fiercely and I'm protective of those that mean something to me, this has gotten me in trouble more times than I can count. I cuss like a sailor and sometimes smell like one too (hey now, McJudgy, you can’t shower, brush your teeth or hair if you’re in the middle of writing a book).
I make a mean potato-layer bake and I have slight road rage. I struggle not to laugh when my kids are inappropriate and say screwy shit. I don’t really like people…I’m that creepy chick who sits in the corner till she has a booze buzz going on, then I’m as loud as fuck. I have an addiction to shoes. I smoke like a chimney.
So that’s me!
I’m screwy and funsized (it’s not called short anymore).
You’ll either love me or hate me, but I am always just ME!

Will Kayden put the past behind them, and focus on the future they could have together? Or will Savannah be heartbroken and all alone again? Savannah thought their love was infinite and indestructible. After everything they've been through, how can they wade through the past and believe in their love? Will Savannah and Kayden get their happily every after, or will the past jeopardize their future? Only a special kind of love can survive the trials and tribulations life tosses in your way. Is Kayden and Savannah's love strong enough to make it through the strongest of storms? Only time will tell.










BOOK TRAILER




I let Kayden’s words sink in. I’ve come so far from where I was all those months ago, but I still have so many fears. I can’t let what happened define me. I need to face my fears and overcome them. With Kayden by my side, it’s not so scary. 

“Okay, fine. I’ll shoot at the target one time. And then we’re heading back to the house, so you can watch football, drink beer and burp until your heart’s content.”

With a look of accomplishment on his face, Kayden walks with me towards the spot he was standing a few minutes ago.
Standing beside me, Kayden helps me position the gun properly. It’s powerful so I brace myself; the last thing I want is to shoot and end up on my ass with a dislocated shoulder. 
I take in a long, shaky breath and slowly blow it out clearing my mind as I try to get into the moment. I used to love this and with time, I hope to again. 
“You can do it. Just push away all that negative shit in your head and have fun.” Kayden’s words are comforting and help me relax. He presses a quick kiss to my cheek, gives me a tap on the ass and backs away to give me space.
Glancing at him out of the corner of my eye I flash him a small smile, even while I’m holding a loaded gun, he starts frisking me. I laugh to myself, as I focus my attention back on the target.
I close my eyes and focus on my breathing and the sounds around me. My hands slowly stop shaking and I feel a calm settle over me. Opening my eyes I focus on the target and pull the trigger. 
I jerk back as the bullet shoots out at lightning speed and nails the target dead center. I’m overwhelmed by the adrenalin coursing through my body, and am shocked when I feel a tear sliding down my cheek.
Running at me Kayden scoops me up in his arms, sporting the biggest grin, “Ya did it! Damn what a shot!” His features swiftly change as he spots the tears in my eyes, “What’s wrong, baby? Why ya cryin’?” The pain in his words shreds me.
Cupping his face, I smile up at him through my watery eyes, “These are good tears Kayden. Believe me, I’m happy. It’s just overwhelming is all; thank you for convincing me to do this, it’s exactly what I needed.”

Savannah & Kayden have been through so much in the first three books, it becomes heart breaking to see anything else go wrong with these two people that so belong together.

In book 4, we hope to finally see these two get their highly deserved HEA. Let's be honest, after all the things that have gone wrong (Kayden's previous fiancee cheating on him; Logan's treatment of Savannah; the press eating these two alive; the kidnapping; Savannah's injuries; the stories that were sold to the press; Logan and Giselle hurting these two) there are no two other people that deserve a HEA as much as Savannah & Kayden.

With her best friend by her side, Savannah rushes back to Kayden, but what will she find when she gets there? Will the fact that she ran and didn't believe him when he said it was a story sold to the press and not real destroy their chances?


Personally these two have had me in tears reading their story, both happy tears and sad tears.
This has been a book I have been waiting on pins and needles to find out what happens with these two wonderful people (they seem so real to me).
Personally I am cheering for this angel and her cowboy!!!
Love their story and didn't want it to actually end. In fact I actually got upset when I was done as I wanted more of them.
