The Good Intentions Series is a series of smutty urban fantasy stories set in Seattle and written by Elliott Kay. It has strong aspects of comedy and soap opera.

Introduction[]

Alex Carlisle has strong values and a lot of empathy and compassion. He would like to attend college, find love, and get on with life.

Instead he has to deal with the asshole ex-boyfriend of his succubus girlfriend, unprocessed emotions from past lives, an unhinged FBI agent, werewolves who don’t take rejection well, vampires obsessed with secrets, Doomsday preppers with access to magic, the asshole ex-boyfriend of two of his girlfriends, and the megalomaniac family of one of his other girlfriends.

The following lists are organized by format, published date, and order in collections.
