Sexy, funny, heartwarming

I absolutely LOVED every moment of reading how the lawsuit turned out! The courtroom scenes were funny & spicy at the same time! The way Jillian verbally expressed what she felt about Natalie had me rolling! I was so worried about Victoria throughout the book and it turned out to be the sweetest heartwarming read.... my favorite part is how it leaves off in a happy place with her! As for Rob- that was such a fun twist with his work & new friend! Highly reccomend this book along with the previous books in this series!

Nice

3 stars

The reason for my three-star rating is because I just didn't understand the book. Lots of sex going on but apparently you have to read the previous books in order to understand this book and for that I would actually have to do but the book to be honest didn't thrill me all that much to go back to read the other books though it is sexy as heck. There is a lot of sex going on this.

I wish the readers that read this book and the previous books good luck.

To the Author i'm sorry I just didn't understand the book to be quite frank with this review the book was actually really really good but for me the pop wasn't there for me so thank you.

Happy Sexy Reading

[Wendy · Rating 5 out of 5]

After finishing this last book, I felt like I had been on a sexy roller coaster of emotions! All 4 books got 5 stars from me....I quickly became invested in the characters and their relationships to each other. I have to say, I was emotionally pulled under when the Jim/Victoria/Caroline started unfolding. I still have no idea why his choice in the last 2 books tugged at my heart strings so much, maybe it has to do with being a single mom myself. Needless to say, I was quite happy with their stories ending, and would love to see what the next chapter holds for them. I loved these books, and am now a big fan of the author who penned them! Thanks for the fabulous reads!

Luke Young consistently gives great sex, romance, characters and the funniest scenes ever. Nobody will ever have this effect on me. I laughed so hard throughout this book.

My favorites are Victoria and Jillian with Brian. These three scheming against each other is the best part. Almost as good is how comfortable they are with their sexuality. I think the trial if "the leg thing" and Carl were fabulous sub plots, both were so juicy making this a real page turner!

Anyone who like hot juicy sex with a great story and no nipple clamps BUY THIS

[Kellie Maddox-Ward · Rating 3 out of 5]

This was a quick easy, sometimes crude romance.
A LOT of talk about Anal as well...

Written by a man that instantly intrigued me. Hence why I picked it up.
It made me LOL at times.. supporting characters are great.

It was OK... The ending was a bit WHAT THE FUCK JUST HAPPENED?!
and because of that I want the next book so I can see how it all ends.

Book 4 Victoria, Jillian, Brian, Jim, Caroline, and Rob are back and so many crazy things happen in this book it is a wonder where Luke Young comes up with this stuff. Lots of talk of hair, poor Brian is always picked on by Victoria lots of humor too, you won't be disappointed.

[Mary Jean Martin]

I love this book love them all

[Deborah Kinate · Rating 3 out of 5]

Funny and sexy with a little legal action added in.

[Epiphany · Rating 5 out of 5]

I loved this story. You have drama, humor and sexual tension, what more could you ask for? Mr. Young brings his A game with this series. This book is some what of an emotional rollercoaster. Jillian's trial, Rob's creepy boss, Victoria giving birth, Jim/Caroline/Victoria triangle and more... I could not put this book down. This book and series is just fabulously fun to read. I can't wait to read the next book in this series. I Highly Recommend this book but you will want to start from the very beginning to really enjoy everything.

Friends with Extra Benefits

This is the second time I have read this book. Wow now and then. The title to these books speak for themselves. Friends with benefits can be a good thing and bad if you are Jillian, Brian, Victoria, Jim, and Rob.

[Julia Stephanie · Rating 3 out of 5]

There were definitely some LOL moments and some steamy moments, the writing isn't really amazing or anything but it's been an interesting read.

[angella jackson · Rating 5 out of 5]

excellent read

[Lindsay · Rating 3 out of 5]

I wish they had done more with the trial. But overall it was decent.

[Nanc · Rating 5 out of 5]

SEX, Sex, sex. Plus a whole lot of funny. Some action and suspense in this one too. These books just make me laugh! Very well written and edited.

[Melody · Rating 3 out of 5]

This book is mostly sex. The plot is weak and it ends abruptly. I won't be getting any more of these "Friends with Benefits" books. That being said, I DID read the entire book, wondering how they were gonna end it.

[Ashley · Rating 3 out of 5]

I dived into book #4 the day after finishing #3. I figured "why not?" since everything was fresh in my mind.
This one seemed to have a bit more story to it but other than that, it was as expected.
Not a bad time-filler, especially for a free read. If you didn't like the first few, you won't like this, so stop reading. The books are good for a chuckle or two so not a complete waste of time.
I still feel like the "close-knit group" aren't that close or even that good of friends. The interactions don't few natural but it isn't a big enough flaw to put the book down.
Quick, easy read.

Luke Young has done it again! FWEB is an excellent addition to the Friends With Benefits series. In this book you'll find more drama than in any that have preceded it (which has both its up sides and its down sides, of course, but makes it so engaging regardless). Between the trial, Victoria being pregnant, Jim and Caroline being engaged (and then not), and more, this book is packed. All I have to say is finally. I have been waiting and waiting for Jim and Victoria to get back together. While technically they haven't officially gotten back together by the end of the book, Caroline is out of the picture which sets the stage for a reunion (though it might be turbulent, I will have to read book 5 to find out!). Don't get me wrong, I really liked Caroline, but I knew Jim and Victoria ended up together (that's what I get for reading the description of book 6) and it was painful to watch as so much time went by and Jim was pursuing Caroline. I understand why Victoria sent him away, but gosh, it's been hard to watch them go through all of this. The reader can completely sympathize with Jim and the situation he finds himself in: loving and being loved by two spectacular women (though personally, it seems iffy that he would get into a serious relationship with someone else at all, much less get engaged, if he knew he was still in love with the first woman; that just doesn't see fair to the second woman, Caroline). All in all, Jim kind of put himself stuck there between a rock and a hard place. Throughout the book, Young keeps throwing surprises at the reader (I was certainly surprised many a time) and keeps us guessing as to what is really going to happen next. One thing is for sure, it is difficult to predict anything in Young's FWB series which makes it all the more fun (and a little bit more suspenseful/stressful at times, but it's worth it)! Be prepared to kick back, relax, and have a thoroughly good time as you read the FWB series!

Hilarious and sexy all in one

I read the first two books in this series a few years ago and remember it fondly. There's not many book series that have caught my attention the way that this one did, but somehow I never finished the series. Now that I'm playing catch up, I've fallen in love with this series all over again. The characters are well developed and the storyline is phenomenal. From the very beginning, I was drawn in and stayed hooked all the way through....even with a bit of disappointment when it was over, knowing I have to wait to see what will happen next with this crazy bunch. Definitely a must read!!!

Jillian and Brian's relationship is just as hot, sexy, and hilarious as it was in the very beginning. Victoria's conniving, but in a great way that ends up with even more funny things happening with Brian and Jillian as they take on the challenges she throws at them. The court proceedings between Natalie and Jillian has kept me up most of the night laughing and wondering what they will come up with next. When Kaylie comes along, I wanted to cry with all that Victoria and Jim's daughter goes through. Rob and Bridget went through a lot, but finding each other in the chaos of all the crazy was a great thing to happen for Rob.

Each of these characters have take a small place in my heart and I can't help but want things to work out for them all, and wait with bated breath to see what kind of shenanigans they can got into next.

[Jane · Rating 4 out of 5]

Like this series. Its funny, outrageous topics and situations they find themselves in, once I start one of these, can't put it down till its done.

[Cassie Hess-dean · Rating 5 out of 5]

The trial happens in this book. Natalie seems to have the jury on her side. But when she comes on to Brian, the things she says to him get recorded, giving Jillian the ammunition she needs to break the case open. Rob ends up with a new woman in his life. Victoria ends up giving birth early. Jim & Caroline spend a lot of time flying back & forth to spend time with the baby. Then Victoria decides to open a therapy office and has it built with a separate living space right in her back yard. She offers for Caroline & Jim to live there so they can be close to the baby. Will this new living arrangement work out for them? Will Victoria be able to move on from her feelings for Jim? Read this to find out.
Not happy that this is the last book in the series. I want to know what happens in these characters lives. Hope Luke decides to continue with this series;-)

[Donna ~ The Romance Cover · Rating 5 out of 5]

Loved this series, what is there not to love...the romance, the sex, VICTORIA lol, I have laughed so much over the past 2 days...I want a friend like Victoria, you can't help but love her.. Felt sorry for Brian sometimes when they ganged up on him but what a good sport he was.. once again loved that the leading ladies were not young teenagers so could relate a lot more to them.. whilst the sex scenes were good you can tell they were written by a man (sorry Luke) but the emotional intensity was not there like in some of the other books I have read...but what it lacked in emotion it made up for in laughs and in some places I really cried with laughter...great series well done and would recommend.

[Ann Meemken · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is book four of the series. The trial begins. Natalie antics continue with her trying to seduce Brian and lying under oath. Who will win the case?

Victoria is having complications with her pregnancy and Jim and Caroline come back for the birth. How will Caroline react when the new parents spend time alone with there daughter? When things look like there going well there is an emergency with Kalie and they need to rush back to hospital. Will the time they spend bonding over there daughter rekindle what Jim and Victoria shared or will Jim still be committed to Caroline?

I was hoping for a different outcome in the case but its over and done with now. I hope Jim gets the woman of his dreams. I can't wait to see what happens in book five.

[Tracey · Rating 4 out of 5]

After FWPB, this is my second favorite book of the series. Was glad to feel like I could mark things back up in the 4-star range!

In this book there was more of that quirky humor I loved about the characters, the wacked-out drama of an insane court battle, a baby, an engagement, even the FBI...and a surprise twist toward the end. I won't go into detail so as not to throw out any spoilers, just suffice it to say this was a really fun read and I enjoyed it immensely!

I know there's already four books in this series, but I do feel there's enough left in these characters for at least one more installment. So Luke, if you're reading this, how about Friends With Ultimate Benefits?

[Kristy Dean-Veen · Rating 5 out of 5]

This series is great. I love it. Between the laughs and romance I couldn't put them down. The characters very well developed and have depth. The author goes into a lot of details to make you connect with the characters. I will be reading them again and I did buy the whole series.
Overview. Brian and Jillian are dealing with the trial and trying to find a way to over come the stress and how to prove that Natalie is lying. Victoria has the baby. Jim has chosen a girl but still torn and now being a dad has him torn even more. Robs job gets crazy when stuff starts coming down and he meets a new girl.

[Amy Barber · Rating 5 out of 5]

The fourth book in the series, written as a standalone, but will be far more enjoyable if you read the preceding books, in my opinion. We finally get to the trial in this book which is something I was looking forward to. Victoria is the best friend that I want in real life and she doesn't disappoint. The synopsis for this book is perfect. There is a lot going on, but if you are a fan of this series and these characters you are going to absolutely love it! I can see this playing out as a movie or a tv series, one I would be tuned in to watch week after week. It is over the top at times, but still showcases love and friendship while being funny and racy at times.

[Jeanne · Rating 5 out of 5]

LOVED the story. There's drama, tension, humor and sex. What more could you want? Jillian is being sued and she's been stabbed in the back. Who would want to hurt her? Will she win the case? What is wrong with Rob's boss? He's SO creepy. The company Rob works for sounds a lot like "The Firm" (John Grisham) to me. Victoria is pregnant?! If so, who is the father?

I couldn't wait to get back to this book every time I had to put it down. I wanted my questions answered and I know what I wanted in the end. I was not disappointed. You won't be, either.

[WiLoveBooks · Rating 4 out of 5]

I think this was my favorite so far. I am hooked on these characters and want to know what happens to them. I can't stop reading. There is a crazy trial, a premature baby. Rob gets mixed up in some things with his employer and finds a woman to fall in love with. You just never know what is going to happen in one of these books. If you are new to these books, the first is free. I highly recommend this series for anyone who loves crazy, laugh-out-loud humor mixed with romance and is not easily offended.

[Jam_Reads_Smut · Rating 5 out of 5]

Although lot's and lot's of just crap has happened it was still good. I think one of my favorite parts was the authors note...Fuck. Just one simple word that can describe Luke's thought, lol. I still can't get over that this series that is so intriguing is written by a male. I've read my fair share of erotic books written by women but no one can write a sex scene like this guy. He get's straight to the point, not this 15 minutes of foreplay and 20 minutes of sexy talk. No, sex is easy ;-) On to the next one!

[Birgit · Rating 5 out of 5]

WOW, what a plotline
This was a really really good book.
It is my first book from Luke Young and, unfortunately, fourth in a series. Nevertheless, I really enjoyed reading this entertaining book and I will also read all the others in the series anyway. The book contains court drama, medical drama, love drama, a lot of humor and is really hot and steamy.
It is written first-class and the characters are complex.

So go ahead, buy it and enjoy your reading as much as I did.

This book was a gift and I freely offered to review it.

[Mare · Rating 3 out of 5]

The soap-opera continues. Jillian's court date is all worked out in this issue...Natalie tries to paint a better picture of herself...tries. Rob & Bridget get into trouble with his odd ball boss. The Victoria-Jim-Caroline relationship seems to work itself out...then a new twist occurs...not sure i like the twist, maybe the next book will convince me...I like Jim & Caroline as is. Victoria needs to grow up.
