Thank you for visiting my website!

I’ve been a storyteller most of my life. Growing up in Los Angeles and being involved in the entertainment industry, I started out writing screenplays. But the medium frustrated me, so I tried to shake things up with a creative exercise. To my tremendous surprise, a 650-page love story poured out of me. It may have been awful and ridiculously long (though, secretly, I still love it!), but it was the most fun I’d had writing in ages. And so I’d found my true voice as a writer. Since then, I’ve written dozens of contemporary romances, from YA to New Adult to single title. What does age matter when we’re talking about finding the loves of our lives?!

I’ve got exciting news! The second book in The Bad Boyfriend series—THE HEARTLESS BOYFRIEND—is ready for you!

Will Bowie is supposed to be training for the Olympics, but the toddler unexpectedly dropped into his life isn’t interested in his schedules. Still, he’ll make it work. He has to. There’s no way he’ll bail on the little girl—not after his own mom ditched him twenty years ago. He’s pretty sure he’s got things under control…

…until a sexy chef lands on his doorstep and offers a temptation he can’t resist. 

Hours after losing her restaurant, chef Delilah Lua flies across the country to participate in a renowned cooking competition in the breathtaking Tetons. Winning would resurrect the dream that’s been stolen from her. If—no, when—she wins, she’ll go home with the capital to open her own place and enough fame to do it with flair. Her roommate, though, is a delicious surprise she hadn’t anticipated…

…but she’s not sure how to have her cake and eat it, too.

Despite the undeniable sparks in the kitchen, Will’s not about to give his heart to another woman who’s leaving, and Delilah must decide if the delectable future she could cook up with Will is worth more than her lifelong dream.

I’m loving The Bad Boyfriend series. It’s about four brawny mountain-men brothers who grew up wild in the Tetons with a super competitive dad and an eccentric uncle (in other words: no maternal hand!). These elite athletes have ZERO understanding of romantic relationships. But, trust me, they will all meet their matches, and when they do these guys will fall HARD. I am loving these stories!! You can meet all the guys and get a glimpse into their world on my Pinterest page.

USA Today says The World’s Worst Boyfriend is such a fun and sexy second-chance romance that I didn’t want it to end. Erika Kelly delivers a highly entertaining and sigh-worthy romance that shouldn’t be missed.

Reading in Pajamas says,  I’m obsessed with the Bowie brothers! Obsessed and addicted!

Guilty Pleasures Book Reviews says, I loved every crazy, twisted, funny, emotional minute of this book!

TAKE ME HOME TONIGHT "is emotional and tremendously sexy, with a large cast of characters that readers will adore -- Kelly's rendering of Calix's grieving parents is particularly well-done -- but it is Mimi's strength that will linger long after the finish." - Sarah MacLean, Washington Post

Booklist calls I WANT YOU TO WANT ME "...steamy, hot, and totally engaging. The characters are realistic, and Kelly paints a vivid picture of what happens behind the scenes in the world of rock."

RT gives I WANT YOU TO WANT ME 4.5 HOT stars!

You Really Got Me has gotten some great reviews!
