Got another episode of Amanda Tea V with the hilarious Heather Hildenbrand! This is my first in-person interview which was so much fun, and not just because we were filming in bed. Heather is one of my besties so we had quite a few laughs.

My next book is . . .

Do you ever just lose yourself in the idea of bringing something to fruition? Maybe redecorating your bathroom? A bikini body just in time for summer? A man who will drive you wild in bed AND do the dishes? 
Well, for the past year, I've been daydreaming about my next book idea. Last January, the first lines of the book just popped in my head. I wrote them down immediately, even though I was in bed with the lights out. I wanted to drop everything and write it but something told me to wait. So I've been sitting with it, filling my Evernote with character names, snappy dialogue, and super sexy rooftop scenes...
And now, it's finally time to actually write it! 
Here's the thing. This book feels really special. Very close to my heart. And I want it to be the BEST thing you've read from me so far. Your support means so much to me. Over the next few months, I'll be sharing behind the scenes of this story with excerpts, character sketches, and songs that I play on a loop while I'm typing out a scene. 
So without further delay, my next book is a smart, sexy, funny, second chance romance called . . . I Hate You, Jesse Lucca. 
Here are the first lines (Warning, there are a few F*bombs)
Fuck Jesse Lucca. As in I hate Jesse Lucca. Not as in I want to fuck Jesse Lucca, which I did. And that’s where I went wrong . . .
I Hate You, Jesse Lucca is about TV writer, Erica Hart and her ex-boyfriend, you guessed it, Jesse Lucca. After two years, Erica returns to San Francisco for a wedding and reluctantly reunites with the man who broke her heart. 
It begs the question . . . How long does it take to get over someone you love? 
This story has a Carrie and Big feel with the chemistry of Jake and Natalie from My Two Husbands.
**First behind the book insight--When I was originally going to write My Two Husbands a decade ago, Jesse Lucca was Jake's name. But it was better suited for this book, so I stole it! 
You'll be hearing about this book regularly but for more frequent updates and fun behind the book tidbits, join my private Facebook Group- Hello Lovers!
I'll also be doing weekly giveaways in the group from free books to signed swag and more. So head over now!

My Two Husbands is Here!






My Two Husbands is Here!


YASS! I'm so excited to release the book! This was one of the most fun writing experiences ever!! And the coolest part is that you can still choose the ending!! I've been getting a lot of messages about that. Some of you are Team Jake while others are totally Team Kyle. What team are you? Email me at amanda@amandaaksel.com and let me know.


And if you've already read the book and love it, please share it with a friend or share an honest review on Amazon.


about my two husbands


What happens when you live with your husband AND your ex-husband? A whole lot of trouble . . .

Natalie is happily remarried to her sweet, handsome husband, Kyle. Meanwhile, her strong and sexy ex, Jake, lives in their loft over the garage. Did I mention Jake and Kyle are best friends? It’s been a harmonious arrangement . . . until now.

When Natalie mistakenly says her ex’s name at the worst possible moment, her husband questions whether or not she still has feelings for him. But how could she possibly still love Jake after what he did?

In this laugh-out-loud romantic comedy told in a dual timeline, you’ll discover how Natalie’s past rivals her present. Will Natalie have to choose between her two husbands? Or will you?

If you love humor, heat, and piña coladas, then you’ll absolutely adore Natalie, Kyle, and Jake’s story.

Lose Your Shirt Cover Reveal & Giveaway!!

Guess what? Book two in the Londonaire Brothers Series is out on September 6th, and I wanted to share the cover with YOU! If you loved Kate and Drew in Lingerie on the Floor, you're really going to fall for Kent and Liz in Lose Your Shirt.


I’m a money guy. I have plenty of it and I’m always making more. So when my ex-lover-slash-ex-client sues my father’s company out of spite, Dad threatens to take my job and my future position as CEO of Bonnaire Enterprises. All I have to do is keep a low-profile and pretend to be engaged to my best friend until the lawsuit is settled. And one more thing—I’m not allowed to even think about touching another client.

Keeping my hands tied wasn't going to be easy but it was doable, until her . . .

I have a weakness for gorgeous redheads and American women. Liz McKenna is both and she’s just become my latest client. The woman drives me crazy in good ways and bad. And she knows it. Every second with her is a struggle to keep my hands to myself. With the way things are going . . . I could end up losing my shirt over this woman.

The Londonaire Brothers Series is a contemporary romance stand-alone series about three billionaire brothers from London and the American women that come into their lives and their hearts. If you love sexy romances with heart, I think you'll love this series.

The Book Is Better Than The Movie!!



The Man Test, my first book, was originally written for the silver screen. But I had SO MUCH more fun writing the book. When I decided to write a sexy romance series, I dusted off the first screenplay I ever wrote when I was only 18! It was a sweet romance about Kate (a fashion designer) and Andrew (a London photographer) called If You're Not The One.

But the book is WAY better than the movie. In Lingerie on the Floor, I turned the sweet into sexy, shortened Andrew to "Just Drew," gave him two sexy older brothers and a gorgeous London penthouse.

Living in Drew and Kate's world was so much fun. I think you'll love it too :)




I have a passion for lacy designs. But my lingerie business is in trouble. If I don’t find an investor before I return to L.A., I’ll be forced to close my London boutique. The good news is the top fashion magazine wants to feature Kate Golden Lingerie in a double page spread. The bad news—they want me to model my lacy thong.

How can I say no? I care way more about sexy lingerie than I do about love, until him . . .

Drew, the insanely hot photographer I keep crashing into. I can’t help myself. He drove me wild during our boudoir photo shoot. Those eyes. That delicious mouth. The way he feels between my legs when I’m riding on the back of his motorcycle. I know, he’s a rich, bad boy, who only dates models. Sooo not my type. I’m not his either. But we can’t keep away from each other, even when we try . . .



And you know I've got somethin' fun for you too! I'll be giving away a copy of The Man Test audiobook from Audible and you'll get an advance copy of Lose Your Shirt, book two in the Londonaire Brothers Series.





The giveaway ends on Tuesday, July 4th at Midnight ET and the winner will be announced on July 5th!

I can't wait to hear what you think about Lingerie on the Floor!
