About the author

Zane Michaelson

136 books323 followers
My name is Zane Michaelson and I am a best-selling, multi-genre author with over fifty titles released.

I was born and raised in the North West of England but moved away to study Law at University, before returning and meeting the woman of my dreams.

Now I live in Spain with my beautiful wife, four wonderful children, who are the lights of my life, and a host of animals.

It has been four years since my debut release, and I still have so much to say.

With more books planned, including further co-writes with my wife Jenna Michaelson and fellow author, Kaylee Rose, I'm excited for what the future brings.

I have been very lucky to have been able to read this amazing series and want to start by thanking Zane for an amazingly written series and for sharing his story with us

This series is based on real events which make the books that more thrilling and makes you more invested in the story and characters, there are some very hot and steamy chapters which will definitely have you hot and flustered while reading

The 1st part of this series was amazing with lots of very sexy scenes and introductions to the 3 main characters Zane, Jenna and Chad who's lives all become entwined in ways that you will love and hate

The 2nd part is very different from the 1st, but it is a true story so expect the unexpected. This book pulls you in and you really feel for all the characters to the point where you feel your part of it, as per the 1st part the 2nd is full of hot and sexy scenes as well as true friendship and love

I started the final part not knowing how it was going to end for Zane, Jenna and Chad or why Zane had decided to share his story and after reading the 1st 2 parts I could wait to find out, well without giving too much away it was definitely worth the wait and not at all what I was expecting, you see a different side of Zane which some people may not like but I find it brave how honest he has written the events that took place the good and bad, you see Jenna standing up for herself and fighting for her family showing what an amazingly strong women she is and you find out if Zane and Chads friendship survives

This series will make you feel angry, frustrated, happy but you will also need a box of tissues at the ready, I've loved this series from Zane and can not wait to read other books in the future, please don't make us wait to long. I will definitely be getting my friends to download/order on release day

4 star review I Know What You're Doing: The Whole Story by Zane Michaelson
Audio Review:
Both Zane Michaelson and narrator Jack Noble were new to me. This was an interesting read, particularly because it is based in real life events. Told over three parts I have to say that I was gripped by the story and just wanted to continue until the very end.
This was at times an emotional roller coaster which frankly left me reeling. Raw and vulnerable this story will drag you in and keep you invested until the end.

I Know What You’re Doing-The series
I have never read a series that has attached itself to my heart as much as this one has.
This was so much more than I was expecting. I’ve read a lot of books over the years but I don’t think I’ve ever read one where I felt the authors emotions so deeply. Knowing this is based on the author’s real life makes each word stronger. It just seems to mean more than other erotica/romance books that I have read. I have even read this series with my husband. It allowed us to open up to each other and communicate while discussing how great this story is.
Since the series is real the details and descriptions are like looking through Zane’s eyes. It’s not just “maybe” this is how he thinks. This is what he was thinking and feeling.. Thank you for sharing your story. My heart hurts for everyone affected. At the same time I am reminded of unconditional love. It’s the kind of love that fights to survive during the good times and bad.

She Loves to Watch Me Play Book 1
Complacency & daily routine has brought Zane, a happily married man with wonderful children, to a dark crossroad in his life. Why is he unhappy when he has everything?
This book stirs up the questions about why someone searches for happiness outside of their marriage. In this case it is the memory of Zane’s relationship with his college roommate Chad. Multiple problems with this. His wife doesn't know he had a sexual relationship in his past with another man and HE IS MARRIED! However the draw to be with Chad again and find some happiness that he misses is to strong to resist. This is where all of the secrets begin, but is it a secret when your wife finds out and even watches you play?
This part is full of mixed emotions; angry, sad, turned on and frustrated. The fact that this has some taboo scenes and some shady lies didn't lessen the sexy moments.

Our Dirty Little Secrets Book 2
Starting with the Prologue, I understand Zane, the author so much more now. His words are real and raw. The emotional roller coaster Jenna and Zane go through had me bawling.I really felt the turmoil Jenna experienced. As a wife what would I do if I found out my husband was having an affair? and what if it was with a man? Zane and Chad have a history. Since Zane is married how can they rekindle their sexual rendezvous without hurting anyone? He can’t avoid hurting Jenna or Chad yet he keeps doing it. He is happier than he was. But that is about to change. Jenna has secrets too. Her secret could devastate Zane.
Secrets can destroy everything you love. Secrets are scary and if your honest with yourself you have them too. I know for me the fear of judgement keep me from sharing my secrets. Zane’s courage to share his secrets with us readers hit me like a bullet through my heart. Thank you for your honesty and trusting us with your private thoughts.

Till Death Us Do Part Book 3
This final book explains so much about the man who wrote this series. You may not like all parts of the series and some may even upset you but remember this is one man’s life experience that is being shared out loud. Part of what I loved about it is how raw and real everything is. I completely understand the way Jenna deals with the betrayal of her husband. Her emotional state in this part brought me to tears. Zane's emotional state brought me to my knees. It goes into some very dark places that only someone who has tried to punish themselves could ever understand. I was shocked at the ending and sobbed. The emotions this author was able to pull out of me with his words will continue to make a difference in my life.

I originally read the series part by part with a month or so in between. Frustrating because I wanted to know more ,now, but it also allowed for my book hangover to subside.
This series must be read from the beginning.
Reading the series now from cover to cover without the break, I get a whole new perspective of story of Zane, Jenna and Chad’s.

Emotional Rollercoaster of a Story

This is the complete story all in one book. I read it in 3 parts and the wait between them was very painfully hard!! as I was left hanging at the end of "She Loves To Watch Me play" and I was a emotional wreak at
the end of "Our Dirty Little Secrets." But in "Till Death Us Do Part" my heart was in pieces and I cried even before the book was finished I didn't see the way this story ended coming !! ( tissues definitely needed)

This Series was the first books from Zane Michaelson and what a amazing start ! I was taken on a rollercoaster of highs and lows these books are very well written and they get you right from the start, Zane's talent for writing is excellent as it makes you feel all the emotions he, Jenna and Chad go through on every page I felt like I was there with them. What a fantastic ride it was and I'm so glad I read Zane Michaelson story it as touched me in a way no other Story or Author I am not sure my heart will ever be the same again and I know this will stay with me forever.

I want to end this review with a big thank you to Zane Michaelson for sharing this part of his life with me and all the readers who take a chance without judgment and a open mind, you will feel different and know the real reason Zane Michaelson opened his soul and wrote this story by the end of "Till Death Do Us Part"
Thank you Zane Michaelson and I wish you and your family all the happiness life can give you it's been one hell of a ride but one I have absolutely loved and will never forget.

I highly recommend this book and can't wait to read more from this Author

This was such an amazing series. I'm not sure any words I put here will do it justice, but I'll do my best.

Zane is happily married to Jenna but he still feels that something is missing. Their love is solid, but there is a void he can't seem to fill.
Reconnecting with a college flame, Zane endeavors on a path that will eventually lead to more pain than he ever imagined.
We follow Zane through his choices, trying to fill the void he was feeling. We follow Jenna through a surprising self-discovery when she learns of Zane's affair. He takes us through the ramifications of keeping secrets and making the choices that were made. And we learn that a love strong enough to endure all of it, even when you're at your lowest point, is one worth fighting for.

The story will take you through all the feels - you'll laugh, you'll cry both happy and sad tears, your heart will be broken and mended along with theirs.

The fact that this story is true, an account of real life events of the author, makes it that much more special. The bravery it took for this author to tell us this story is commendable and I raise a pint to Zane. The story does involve cheating, and what some may feel is unconventional intimacy. So, if that's not up your alley, then please feel free to take a pass. But, you'd be missing out on an amazing story. I am thrilled that all 3 parts have been compiled in to one book!

As a novel, this book series would have been amazing, perfectly plotted and beautifully written. The author builds up the tension and the exciting events little by little, each event leading into the next in a way that is so smooth and appears so innocent at first, then growing in tension and "forbidden activities". But when I found out, in the last part, that the story was a real and true story, well it just blew my mind away! I mean, this man has lived a life and a romance you only read about in novels, but you never know anyone (or at least I don't) to whom these sorts of things really happen. When you come right down to it, sometimes people do have affairs, it's true. But most of the times, in most other books or movies, it's very predictable and always follows the same pattern. Well, the sexual adventures described in this book have led the author to some events that you never (or rarely ever) read about or see in the movies. As fiction it already would have been very original, unusual and imaginative. But as fact...... it just blows you away. I had no idea these sorts of things really happened in real life. Add to that the fact that Zane Michaelson just knows how to fill the pages with all the angst and emotion he really was feeling, and that he knows how to describe all that emotion so that you feel it too.

How do I sum up such a wonderful series? I’m not sure there are words to accurately describe the depth of emotions wrapped up in these novellas. “She Loves to Watch Me Play” a beautifully written opening to this trilogy as well as to debut book for Zane Michaelson. It gave us the details of how everything started. “Our Dirty Little Secrets”, the fantastic 2nd installment, gave us a bit more of the nitty gritty between these three lovely “characters”. “Till Death Us Do Part” gives you the conclusion to this amazing portion of Zane’s life. Yes this 3rd and final installment has trauma and pain, but it also has eternal love and friendship, as well as the reason this story ever came to print.

This series will make you feel so many emotions, I don’t think Zane left any out. You will feel guilt, indecision, desire, love, anger, jealousy, heartbreak. There were several times I cried, wanted to throw my kindle because I was so angry, at one point I wished I could have hugged him.

Zane Michaelson has shown that while he is not perfect and made many mistakes, he has a heart of gold and the courage of a lion. His ability to write words that make you feel what he feels is breathtaking. I would recommend this series to anyone that enjoys any type of romance or erotica. There will be times you will want to stop reading, but don’t, it is so worth it to continue to the very end.

This took some balls to write and I commend Zane for doing so.
I wanted to read this after coming across a negative review - I figured that if somebody was so offended by it, then it was worth a try and wow, was it ever worth it.
Written from the heart; the emotion, love and devastation is plain for even the most judgemental to see. You can't walk away from a story like this without experiencing a plethora of feelings for all concerned.
Yes, the start might lull you into a false sense of security, making you think it to be another colour by numbers book,, but by the final chapter, it feels like you've been hit by a steam train you didn't see coming.
That one last paragraph tore my heart out. The feeling of loss almost palpable. Zane drew me in, put me through the wringer and then left me almost bereft, wondering how life would ever be the same for him and his family.
What a writer. What a rollercoaster ride. What a story.
Zane could have written himself as less flawed, less selfish and a better husband, but showed himself warts and all. This took guts.
I'll never forget this story.
Thank you!

Zane Michaelson has put words to a true life experience effecting him, his wife Jenna, his twin daughters, and his college roommate/best friend Chad.

When family, job, and life in general happens sometimes the toll can be so overwhelming it's hard to find the ray of sunshine to count your blessings. Which makes it easy to reminisce about days that were carefree and friends who can bring back those feelings. This story shows the depths of despair, fear, heartbreak, grief, friendship, love and forgiveness a person will face for each decision they make. Through Zane's words the reader will have no choice but to be left with an over powering amount of emotion.

In a world where harsh words and judgement are prevalent, it takes a big person to have walked through the fires of hell and leave ego aside to show the world his soul in order to bring out the light. I sit here with tears running down my cheeks and a knot in the back of my throat telling you Zane Michaelson has done just that and done it beautifully.

No doubt, if you are above average intelligence you will enjoy this story.
The cliffhangers would have killed me...
Not quite sure how I found this complete series on Amazon... I may have searched for a few different keywords, but it happened and I became absolutely consumed by this well written love story. It really is love and feels like it's written from the heart.

As described by the Author - The Whole Story is based upon real life events.

For me, the story represents anyone and all of us in the social media world today - We are all presented the opportunity/choice to click the (should I or shoudn't I) "Add Friend" button.

The real question is, do you want to invite your past to the present?

This is a story for Zane, Jenna and Chad to tell you. And it unfolds from each perspective written by Zane.

It's definitely hot...but most of all, just powerful. The emotions are super intense and some may not be able to understand the dynamics involved.

I am happy to have been introduced to Zane Michealson's words and look forward to more of his work.

Captivating, heartbreaking and hot as hell!

This is the first book of Zane Michaelson’s that I have read. I didn’t read any blurb, info, spoilers or anything like that. A friend recommended it to me and that’s all I went on. Basically I went in blind, something I very rarely do. My mind was blown by this book. It drew me in with its raw and often brutal honesty. The writer really held very little back of what was an erotically charged yet amazingly heart wrenching tale of a married man who finds himself stuck in a rut and events that unfold from sending out a friend request to a past acquaintance become out of control and then his wife finds out. Absolutely loved this book and am already looking for more to read from this author. Totally deserving of 5 stars.

I felt privileged reading this series and being able to share the very personal details of Zane's and Jenna's heartbreaking turmoil, that they both experienced at a time in there marriage. My anxiety levels were at an all time high. With secrets, lies, deception and lots of devastating choices made by them both, they have to hit rock bottom before they can see if they have a marriage worth saving, or is actually saveable. Jenna's love and devotion towards her Husband and Family is commendable,
she is going through the fight of her life, fighting to keep her Family together. This true life story has touched me deeply and I can't recommend it enough.

An emotional look into one couple's lives.
Zane and Jenna Michaelson share with you their greatest love and deepest pain in this series. Depression, despair, and betrayal are driving forces for near destruction. Love, forgiveness, and acceptance are hard-won. I felt for each of them, for Chad as well as two sweet little girls while Zane worked through his agony and Jenna worked through her anger. Happy endings are gained through immense pain, hours of talking and one great loss.
Thank you, Zane and Jenna, for sharing this with us. As hard as the subject is to talk about you braved it and maybe helped to save a few marriages with your candor.

The only reason I even bought this series was the first line in the description, this story is based on real life events. Writing a review based on someone's else decisions, for me, is difficult. Zane had me at his description and never let go of me until the very end of this series.

This entire series will captivate you the moment Zane's words are in your head or coming out your mouth. Either way, Zane will take your heart and have you squeezing your legs together in ultimate pleasure. Turning the page will not be fast enough to know what happens next. To know that this series is entirely based on real events just makes it even more alluring.

This is a fantastic series!

Phenomenal

This book was totally amazing. I'm trying to find the words to describe how this story affected me. My heart broke for all involved but to see the strength that it took to tell it is truly beautiful to witness. I admire Zane, Jenna and Chad for their courageous journey through out this and to be friends to the end. My tears came raining down for Chad. He will forever be beside you all. Thank you Zane for sharing this inspiring with us. If I could I would give a million stars for this book.

I really enjoyed this trilogy. But I needed to see more of Zane’s journey to rebuilding his life with his wife. I’m just left feeling he’s an unworthy and lucky SOB and/or his wife is a doormat..children or not, this would be tough to work through. Without “seeing” that, I’m left feeling this is just an egotistically cathartic way of working through one’s infidelity or his wife is the gold digger Chad accused his own wife, Melissa, of being.

I am trying to find the words. Committing adultery is such a touchy subject for me. Jenna is such a strong forgiving gracious woman. I am very happy that everything worked out. The book is very open and honest. I highly recommend it!

What an all telling story. I can say I am glad they all worked there problems out. Jenna is a very strong and forgiving lady. I am not sure I could be that forgiving. I am glad they allowed Chad back into there lives. I cried when he died and he will live as long as we buy the books and read 5em. I am sorry he will not be in any more books. I am not a fan of MM, but knowing this was a true story I did want to see what happened and I was not disappointed. I do like Zane’s style of writing along with his English accent. Please read and enjoy.

This series had me hooked with the first book! The anticipation of each part was nail biting. It has the hot sexy men, the hot wife, the drama and what's going to happen next feel. Not always as easy as it seems. Highly recommend and the writing is super great. Have re-read twice and gets better each time. ***** The three main characters in the book will have you rooting for all, but in the end true love prevails. And I'm glad it ended the way it did. Just a great series that needs to be read, and promise you'll enjoy it.
