Faith and Trust News! This is Huge News!

First let me start of saying I am grateful for all the support on Seek and Find. It has been amazing. I love all of you so very much. After consideration and talking with book bloggers who reviewed Seek and Find I have decided to go forward on something I was thinking about. Making the Faith and Trust Series one book broken into parts.

Seek and Find will remain for sale for now, at 0.99. Finding Ozzie and Seeking Neverland WILL NOT be published separately. Seek and Find will be re-edited taking into account reviews I have received.

Release Date: 4-10-14
I have decided to move forward with this as I believe it is the best move for my career as a writer. I know some people are not fans of novellas so this is my solution. Plus I believe it will enhance the storyline as a whole.

This is how it will read:
Part 1: Seek and Find, Colt and Harper's Story
Part 2: Finding Ozzie, Ozzie and Rebecca's Story
Part 3: Seeking Neverland, Peter and Forest's Story

The characters won't go away in each part previous characters and some of their storyline play important parts in moving along the storyline of other parts.

I have been doing teasers on Mondays for Finding Ozzie. Teasers will continue but now they will come from all parts. I am super excited to put this together and go back to the editing board for Seek and Find. I want to show my readers how much I love their support and their opinions and this is one step to do that

Seek and Find on Amazon ~0.99~ If you want a jump start on the series
on 4-10-14 you will not be able to get this separate anymore.

FAITH AND TRUST COVER REVEAL:

Beta readers get ready the first draft of "The Prince Charming Search" is complete and almost ready to be sent to you and my editor. I need to conduct one rough edit to clean up some things that resulted in typing to fast.


Beta readers are you ready for round 1?!

RAIDEN AND TAI are being Published on Amazon, Smashwords, and in Paperback on MAY 8th, 2014. I will go into detail with you on reading sch. when you message me.

Hey world Tai here,
Amanda wanted me to swing by and say something about The Prince Charming Search the first book for Raiden and I. Having no clue what to say I begged her to not make me do this but she insisted that I need to build up my strength and courage for book 2. I can tell you that statement scares the shit out of me. She promises I'll understand why soon. Anyhow I guess I can say this Raiden might come across as a real jackass and A bit arrogant but he really is a sweetheart. Oh yea one more announcement Amanda wants me to make after the ending of The Prince Charming Search you will find the synopsis for book 2 the final book for Raiden and I The Happily Ever After Search. The book will be out in late summer early fall and book 3 in the series Their Heart Search Raiden and I will make guest appearances but it will be all about Raiden's best friend Bethany and my ex Jordan should be juicy. Being told that will be out late fall early winter. 
Okay she is saying I can be done now so signing off ~Tai

Facebook Page Change & Tai and Raiden Excerpt/Beta Readers Info

https://www.facebook.com/authorAmandaKay

My Page Name has now gone through and has been changed to Amanda Kay (My First and Middle Name)

---------------------------------------------
BETA READERS GET READY YOU SHOULD HAVE YOUR COPY BY THE END OF THE WEEK (THERE IS STILL TIME TO GET IN ON BETA READING SEND ME A MESSAGE FOR DETAILS.)

I promised a Tai and Raiden Teaser: So here is a small Teaser (Unedited)

This is From The Prologue (RAIDEN'S POV)


Raiden

She was standing in the center of the village she looked so completely lost and so fucking adorable. He knew just looking at her once he wanted to make her his. No, that is wrong. Not wanted to make her his, needed to make her his without a shadow of a doubt in his mind.

She definitely wasn't from around here he would have seen her before if she had been. Hell he probably would've been off the market ages ago if she lived there. "Raiden what are you looking at?" He snapped his head from the window back to his bed. Damn it all to hell why did he bring Gloria home last night? She had been trying to get into his bed for the last year and half and now she had, it was time for her to leave.

"You got your fuck Gloria. You can leave now." He hissed and refocused his attention to the window.

She was now sitting on a bench just outside the gate of his house. Actually is was more like a castle he didn't really care it was a place to live and place to bed countless women. At least the was the way he used to look at it, but looking at her whoever she was he now only wanted to ever bed one woman there again, her. It looked as though she was writing, maybe a journal or diary he couldn't tell from his window but he sure as hell had every intention of finding out.

"Baby come back to bed." She whined, did she think that was attractive, because it sure as hell wasn't. His head snapped from the window again. She was interrupting his gawking at the mystery woman he had to meet.

"Gloria I believe I told you to leave." He hissed again, not taking his attention from her this time till she actually got off his damn bed and out of his house. Shit what more did she want? She got what she had wanted for the last year and half now she needed to get the hell out.

She glared at him but pushed herself off the bed and bent to retrieve her clothes. He watched her, she was beautiful, but she was a bitch. Not something he wanted in his life for more than a night. He crossed his arms and waited while she dressed. She was moving so slowly. Oh hell!

"Hurry up Gloria. You need to get lost." He snapped leaning against the wall next to the window. They usually didn't spend the night but he was so trashed last night that when he finished fucking her he passed out, he was paying the price for that now.

"You know you can be a real jackass Raiden?" She spit out. Wasn't anything he didn't already know so it didn't bother him one bit, in fact it brought out his attitude.

"Yea been told that once or twice." His cockiness fully apparent in his voice.

"Seriously Raiden you know I was the best lay you've had in a while. I know who you've slept with." She was pissing him off. His reputation wasn't a secret, but her shit don't stink attitude always ticked him off. It was one of the reasons he put off bedding her for as long as he did. Last night he had a weak moment and she ended up in his bed. She got what she wanted, and he got what his cock needed now things were done between them.

"Look Gloria you got what you wanted. I won't deny you gave me what I needed but this is nothing more than last night. Now I won't tell you again get out of my damn house!" The glare in her eyes told him she understood this time. She wasn't happy about it but he didn't care.

SO HERE YOU GO:
 

The Prince Charming Search (The Search Series #1): Tai & Raiden's First Time
 (Both POVs, cut from chapter 8)
 
(Keep in mind this is completely unedited)
 
Tai
What he was doing her body at this moment was causing internal explosions. His hand reached for the button of her jeans and she let out a gasp. His hands stalled, why the hell was he stopping? Her eyes were closed but she felt suddenly felt his breath at her ear. "Tai we can stop." No she didn't want to stop, why did he want stop?
"You want to stop Raiden?" She painfully questioned. He said he loved her had he changed his mind already? The last six months her and Jordan hadn't had much of a sex life, she thought it was because she was so busy with wedding stuff but she now knew the truth behind that. Was she nervous to sleep with Raiden? Of course. Could he feel that. Had it turned him off?
"Tai sweetheart open your eyes." She did as he commanded. "Are you okay?" How did she answer that? Was she okay? She wasn't completely sure.
"I'm nervous." She choked out.
"Do you want to stop?" She shook her head.
"Do you?" She managed to get out.
"No Tai I don't, but I don't want us to rush. Why are you nervous?" He asked and she owed him an honest answer
"I...ummm....I haven't slept with anyone in six months. I thought it was because I was always so busy with the wedding stuff, but now I know why he seem un effected by the fact that we weren't having sex." She bit her bottom lip.
"Was Jordan your first Tai?" She just nodded. "Tai I'm going to take care of you. If you need to stop or need me to go slower just talk to me. No matter what it won't affect us, as much as I want you I can wait. Remember I want something everlasting." She expelled the breath she didn't realize she was holding.
"I'll be okay, I trust you to take care of me. I want this." He smiled and his eyes stayed locked with hers as his hands started on the button of her jeans again. As he worked down her zipper she could feel herself relaxing.
 
 
Raiden
He could literally feel her begin to relax as he gently removed her jeans her eyes hadn't left him since he made her open them. She was nervous, he understood that and immediately realized he needed to love her with care. He noticed that she seemed to think he wanted to stop when he questioned if she needed to stop. She was doubting herself, doubting whether or not she could be enough for him, but he didn't need this part of their relationship. She was already enough, this part was a bonus. He kicked off his jeans and reached over her into the nightstand for a condom. He slid it on faster than he had ever slid one on. He wanted her.
The tip of his penis was at her entrance. "You with me Tai?" She smiled at him.
"With you playboy." He laughed as he slid into her.
"You know that is growing on me my sweet Tai." She laughed and he reacted by placing a hand on her stomach. Her laughter stopped and her gaze became heated with passion. "Love your laugh but not when I'm inside of you trying not to burst too soon." She nodded and her gaze became hooded with both love and lust as he began a slow but steady pace inside of her.
She was tight but it felt so good as his cock moved inside of her each thrust in and out stretching her body so she could take him deeper and deeper. As the pace moved from slow and steady to just steady he could hear her breathing pick up as her hands clawed at his back and her legs wrapped around his hips pulling him closer. He let more of his weight fall onto her getting close enough to kiss her. Her tongue met his half way as their mouths collided with each other. Her hands clawing at his back the moans escaping her lips as they continued their kiss caused his rhythm to change again. To a fast pace, one that could be considered punishing. She broke their kiss panting heavily as she locked her ankles to hold him against her tighter. Her hips now matching his pace as they made love for the first time.
Her breathing was getting out of control and the sweat was forming on his skin and hers he was close and he knew she was too. He reached a hand in between them as he kept up his fast paced rhythm into her body. He trailed one finger then two over her clit making light circular motions. She closed her eyes again, but this time he wasn't concerned. He knew she was trying to control her body. "Let go Tai." And his words were her undoing, he felt her whole body shudder and even though he had a condom on he could feel the warmth from her orgasm. And it was all he needed to follow only seconds after her.
He collapsed on her carefully not wanting to crush her with his weight and her arms came to stop from clawing at his back to just resting on him. He felt her legs unlock from around him but she didn't make a move to disconnect them. He was placing light feathery kisses against her shoulder when her hands came up his back and wrapped around his neck. "Thank you Raiden."
He turned his head slightly so he could look at her, "for what Tai?" He hadn't done anything.
"You promised to take care of me and you did. I have never felt so cherished." He placed a light kiss on her cheek and then her lips. Lifting his weight off her so he could stare into her eyes.
"You deserve nothing less than to be cherished Tai. Jordan should've treated you like a princess and he failed. Now I'm going to show you how you were always meant to be treated." He watched her breath hitch at his words and her eyes glistened with tears. "Sleep in here again tonight Tai." He requested as he finally disconnected them and got up to take care of the condom.
"You weren't getting rid of me tonight playboy." They both laughed.
He crawled back into his bed pulling the covers over them. She settled on her side facing him and he made sure to do the same. He pulled her against his chest he wanted her to fall asleep like she had last night.
"Tell me about your mom Raiden." She requested quietly. He ran his hand down her back and nodded.
