Here is the peek I promised of my latest project, Reckless Seduction, due out at Loose Id in October. This is rough, but I think you can get the general idea.

All Cody wanted was to be rid of his pesky virginity. Never in his wildest dreams did he image how fast a fantasy could turn into a nightmare, or what lengths he would go through to set it right.

When nineteen year old Cody Bradbury gets his hands on an invitation to the hottest party of the year at The Casbah, an exclusive gay men’s club owned by his uncle, he doesn’t plan to let anything stand in his way of attending. With a stolen invitation, fake identification, and a hastily thrown together costume, Cody sneaks into the club during its annual Halloween party with the intention of checking out the action and possibly losing his long-despised cherry.

Cody can’t believe his good luck when Dante Santiago comes on to him. He’s had a hard-on for his uncle’s friend, Dante ever since he realized what his dick was good for. He’s so enamored of the older man that he doesn’t think twice when Dante starts referring to him as pretty boy, instead of by his given name.

He knows Dante wants his body, but is there any chance the older man might want more than an orgasm? There’s only one way to find out, and Cody plans to make it a night neither of them will ever forget.

Okay. So, I’m slightly over my projected length, but Reckless Seduction is all finished.

This has been a crazy good week for reviews for me. I am so overwhelmed by the fabulous response reviewers are giving Secrets & Lies. Here’s a snippet from the latest review for Secrets & Lies, via The Romance Studio.

5 hearts!
“I loved this story as it has the perfect combination of action, suspense, hot man sex, and emotional drama to make it a great read. I loved Teague from the first with his all male cocky attitude and his gorgeous body. And Kyle was the perfect complement to him in that he was almost sweet and even somewhat innocent at times, but just as sexy. They were truly perfect for one another, just too stubborn to know it. Ms. Young has done an exceptional job of painting the backdrop for not only a hot romance with lots of sex but also of the battle between good and bad. Although this story has some scenes of violence and at times it’s a little gruesome, it was a great read and I would highly recommend it to anyone who likes a book that pushes the limits. I look forward to reading more from this wonderful author.”

Man, if you guys could only see the goofy grin on my face right now…

Joyfully Recommended!
“Amanda Young is one of the best M/M storywriters I’ve had the pleasure to review for. Her men in Secrets and Lies are absolutely decadent together. Teague with his sculpted bodybuilder stature and confident ways and Kyle with his lean athlete’s build and quiet demeanor compliment one another perfectly. Secrets and Lies is a wonderful combination of action and suspense mixed with bittersweet moments, love and above all else a very happy ending. I Joyfully Recommend Secrets and Lies to those who love an exceptional M/M story.”

I’m oh so close to having this story finished. Hopefully, I’ll have a blurb all ready for you all with the next update.

The Gambler by Chris Johns

Charlie Fellows is an Englishman with a serious gambling problem. To payoff his debts, he signs himself into a ten-year contract as a modern day sex slave to a millionaire who has a large estate in the Caribbean. THE GAMBLER tells of Charlie’s life in servitude in this erotic novel where the punishment is harsh but the rewards are often hot and steamy.

However, while serving his sentence, Charlie falls in love with Winston, a young Caribbean male, who stays by his side through his trials and tribulations. THE GAMBLER is a melting pot of extreme sex, corporal punishment, sadness and joy, but mainly the story of a deep love between two men from entirely different backgrounds.

I just received the art work for Precious Ache, the novella I have due out in September with Amber Allure, and had to share.
