ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date April 27, 2021

I shouldn’t have hooked up with my one night stand… again.

To be fair, I was having the worst day of my life. I was sure that nothing else could go wrong.

Then in walks Jordan Wright.

We have a heated history, and I’ve been avoiding him. Not least of all because he’s a hundred percent my type with those big brown eyes, a ripped body, and his blisteringly broody charm. I said I’d never go near him again.

But he’s there for me when I need him. And well, old habits die hard.

Only problem?

I’m leaving in a matter of months, and nothing is going to change my mind.

Maybe in the meantime, I can still have my Wright…with benefits.

REVIEW:WRIGHT WITH BENEFITS is a contemporary, adult, stand alone set in KA Linde’s erotic, romance WRIGHT WORLD series. This is Jordan Wright, and med-student Annie Donoghue’s continuing story line. Jordan and Annie’s story begins in the prequel novella ONE WRIGHT STAND (see below). You do not have to have read the original series to understand or follow the premise. WRIGHT WITH BENEFITS begins the latest arc of the author’s Wright World series.

Told in five parts, from dual first person perspectives (Annie and Jordan) WRIGHT WITH BENEFITS picks up three years after Jordan and Annie’s one night-stand. Jordan met Annie at a local café then again at the annual Wright pool party where a wild night together ended when Jordan walked out without looking back. Jordan claimed he was only in Lubbock, Texas for a very short time but much to Annie’s dismay Jordan moved to her home town a few weeks later, and as much as possible, she strategically avoided our hero for close to three years until the day from h*ll forced Annie to accept Jordan’s help when she needed it the most. Old feelings and emotions came to the surface but Annie was determined to keep their relationship a ‘friends with benefits’, a line Annie refused to cross as she was desperate to leave Lubbock in search for a more prestigious hospital to work. Jordan Wright knew he had hurt Annie but three years would pass and Annie continued to struggle with what she believed was betrayal, a betrayal that had broken all of her trust. What ensues is the rebuilding friendship and relationship between Annie and Jordan, and the potential fall-out as Jordan begins to push Annie out of his life, and Annie must come to a decision about her future with or without our story line hero.

Annie Donoghue is a feisty, determined heroine who battles between head and heart as it pertains to Jordan Wright. On one hand, she wants everything Jordan is willing to give but refuses to ‘name’ their relationship anything but a friends with benefits. Having no plans to remain in Lubbock Texas, Annie gives off mixed signals at every opportunity, signals that don’t endear the heroine to this voracious reader. Jordan Wright has fallen in love with our story line heroine and will do anything to keep their relationship together but a family crises forces Jordan pick sides, and our hero begins to push Annie out of his life.

The relationship between Annie and Jordan begins as a one-night stand but three years will pass before Annie accepts Jordan back into her life. Best friends with Jordan’s cousin Sutton, Annie struggled with each encounter with our story line hero until desperation forces Annie to accept Jordan back into her life. A distinct lack of communication, miscommunication and mixed signals does not bode well for this story line couple. The $ex scenes are intimate, passionate and intense.

There is a large ensemble cast of secondary and supporting characters including Jordan’s brother Julian, and his girlfriend Ashleigh, and their business partner /cousin Hollin Abbey, musician/cousin Campbell; Annie’s friends Sutton Wright, Cezanne and Jennifer, as well as Blaire, Piper and her brother Peter, Annie’s ex Chase Sinclair, and several characters from the author’s Wright World series including Jensen, Austin and Morgan Wright.

WRIGHT WITH BENEFITS is a story of family and friendships, relationships and acceptance, betrayal, misunderstanding, friendships, angst and love. The character driven premise is fast paced, entertaining and impassioned ; the chemistry is sizzling and hot; the characters are animated, stubborn, and energetic but it was Annie’s attitude, and back and forth, up and down reaction to EVERYTHING that involved our story line hero that quickly got old, very fast.

A one-night stand prequel romance to USA Today bestselling author K.A. Linde’s Wright with Benefits…
I can’t tear my eyes away from the stranger.

He’s too hot for this small town. Too polished for this seedy bar. And a hundred percent my type. Tall, dark, and handsome in a suit with brooding eyes that say he’d lay waste to my body. And I’d let him.

Our connection is immediate. The desire is blatant. I’ve never felt anything like it.

Then I make the mistake of a lifetime: I let him walk out.

I’m still kicking myself when I show up to my best friend’s Wright family pool party. I walk outside and stop dead.

He’s here.

And he’s a Wright cousin.

My best friend’s brothers are off limits, but she never said anything about her cousin.
