    Secret Sins @kathykulig #RLFblog #romance #contemporary

    Every submissive craves Master Adrian Cayne’s commands and
    relentless determination to bring them to the point of exquisite pain and
    pleasure. Because of the intensity of his sessions, he’ll only take experienced
    submissives until Emma arrives at Dark Odyssey. He’s impressed and attracted to
    her beauty and enthusiasm. But before he’ll take her on, she must pass a series
    of seductive tests of increasing intensity to see if she’s receptive to his
    unique and dark skills.
    Emma Fallon is known to thoroughly research her articles for
    the tabloid magazine Scandal. With her job and career on the line, she must go
    undercover to write a lurid and gossipy story about Dark Odyssey, a hedonistic
    club. While the assignment is her chance to indulge in her taboo desires for the
    sex she craves as a submissive, her heart isn’t in it because she’s falling for
    Adrian.
    Raw, hot passion draws them past guarded limits, but when
    secrets are revealed and trust is broken, can true love save their torn hearts?

    Secrets…Don’t you just love a good juicy secret? If you
    check out prime time TV, several shows revolve around a theme of secrets, lies
    and gossip. Look at all the reality shows: The Real Housewives, The Bachelor,
    The Bachelorette, Survivor, Top Chef, Celebrity Apprentice, etc. If you’re not
    a fan of those, then you may have flipped through pages of People magazine or
    some other Hollywood tabloid.
    Have you ever shared a secret with someone and perhaps later
    regretted it when that secret was revealed either on purpose or by accident? The
    results may have been costly in a relationship, a friendship, a job?
    Well, secrets of the naughtiest kind is the theme for the
    Sins of Odyssey series. In each standalone story there is a couple faced with
    secrets and lies that turn the characters’ lives upside down. The stories take
    place in and around a premier BDSM and sex club Dark Odyssey where the
    ultra-wealthy and high profile guests prefer to keep their proclivities a
    secret. When love, passion and kinky desires get thrown in and secrets are
    revealed, life as they know it is never the same. Crisis brings out the best
    and the worse in people. The question is will career, lifestyle and love
    survive when the dust settles?

    Meet Mandy: Desire, Deceit, and the Doctor @KryssieFortune #RLFblog #suspense

    Welcome Mandy Devlin from Desire, Deceit, and the Doctor, a
    new contemporary romance by Kryssie Fortune.

    About Desire, Deceit, and the Doctor

    Genre Contemporary Suspense
    Book heat level (based on movie ratings): UK 18
    Twelve years ago, Mandy Devlin moved away from her friends
    and family–under threat. If she returned in the next ten years or told anyone
    who fathered her baby, her boyfriend’s great-aunt would bankrupt her family.
    She’s a single mom who dreams of her lost love and a good spanking. When she’s
    finally free to return to Westhorpe Ridge, the last person she expects to see
    is Adam–the man she loved and lost so long ago.
    Dr. Adam Montgomery doesn’t know he has a son. Thanks to his
    great-aunt’s will, he has nine months to find a bride or he loses Montgomery
    Hall and the fifteen million dollars she left him. Although he seduces Mandy on
    his first night home, he still believes she betrayed him twelve years ago. No
    way would he marry a woman like her.
    As Valentine’s Day looms, someone tries to kill Mandy. Is
    Adam trying to get rid of her? Or can Mandy trust him to protect them?

    Introducing Mandy Devlin

    Age: 30
    Gender: Female
    Birthplace: Westhorpe Ridge, North Carolina
    Profession: Teacher turned Hotelier.
    Ethnicity: Caucasian
    Please provide a
    physical description of yourself.
    I’m a redhead, with a redhead’s temper. Not that I ever stay
    angry long. I used to wear my hair long, but as a single mom, it’s easier to
    wear it shorter. It still flies about in spiral curls. Other than that, I’m
    sort of average—Average weight, Average build, but I have a redhead’s pale
    skin.
    Please tell us a
    little about yourself.
    This one is hard. I was the idiot cheerleader who ended up
    pregnant with the captain of the football team’s baby. Circumstances, or more
    truthfully, Adam’s wicked Great Aunt Edith—forced me to move away from my home
    and my family. The last eleven years haven’t been easy, but I have a wonderful
    son. I wouldn’t be without Ben now. I trained as a teacher, and even scraped
    together enough cash to buy my grandmother’s hotel when she wanted to retire.
    Owning Devlin’s hotel was a childhood dream, but I’m a bit fazed by how much
    she’s let it go.
    Who is the significant
    other in your life?
    Yeah right. As if I have time for romance. Once, I dreamed
    of forever with Adam Devlin. We’d been dating for four years, then he dumped me
    right in the middle of dance floor at our senior prom. At least I know he’s
    moved on from Westhorpe Ridge now. According to his sister, he’s an army doctor
    serving in the Middle East. Not that I’m keeping track or anything.
    Are you book-smart, self-taught,
    widely-experienced?
    Book smart, I guess. I have a Math degree with a minor in
    Business Studies. I’ve tried to wise up and be people smart too. I’ve been down
    on my luck myself, so I help out wherever I can, but most of my life’s devoted
    to raising Ben.
    Do you get by, live comfortably,
    live extravagantly?
    Comfortably? I wish. I had a nest egg, a payoff from Adam’s
    great aunt really, but I used it to get through school and put down the deposit
    on Devlin’s Hotel. Things are pretty tight, but they’ll get better when I’ve
    updated the hotel. The lunchroom’s keeping us afloat at the moment, and I’ve
    got a small emergency fund. I really need to be making a profit by summer
    though.
    What is your viewpoint
    on wealth?
    It depends what you do with it. Two of my friends, Jazz
    Stewart and Abigail Montgomery have just inherited a small fortune each. I know
    they’ll use it to do good things. Edith Montgomery, though—that’s Adam’s old
    bat of an aunt—used her millions to manipulate people. You wouldn’t believe the
    things she threatened to do to my family when I refused to abort my baby. The
    compromise was she paid me off and I left town after I signed a contract that
    said I couldn’t tell anyone who my baby’s father is. Not even Adam.
    If someone from your past
    showed up, who would you most want it to be, and why?
    Adam Montgomery. I guess part of my heart still belongs to
    him, but you hit the nail on the head when you called him my past.
    If someone from your past
    showed up, who would you most NOT want it to be, and why?
    Adam Montgomery. It would kill me to see him with someone
    else. Now his great aunt’s dead though, I need to tell him about Ben. I’m not
    sure where I start with that, but he’s going to freak out when he discovers he
    has a ten-year-old son he’s never met.
    What is your breaking
    point?
    This damned hotel. I’m pretty close to throwing in the towel
    and going back to teaching. Every room needs a facelift, and I can’t afford to
    get people in to do it. I mean, I love the place, and Ben’s settled in Westhorpe
    Ridge now. The upside is I get more time with my son, but then I’m up at dawn
    and working until midnight.

    Kryssie’s pet hates
    are unhappy endings, and a series that ends on a cliff hanger.
    Her books are all
    stand alone, even when they’re part of a series. Plot always comes before sex,
    but when her heroines and heroes get together, the sex is explosive and
    explicit.

    Midnight Delight by @CadenceDenton #RLFblog #paranormal #mystery

    Today’s featured book is Midnight Delight by Cadence Denton.
    Genre: Paranormal Romantic Cozy Mystery
    Book heat level (based on movie ratings): PG
    Call me Contessa. Forget my name, you couldn’t pronounce it.
    I’m a professional chef—actually, I’m the LeBron James of chefs. Bobby Flay, Gordon
    Ramsay even Julia Childs have all been my students, and that’s just a few. I’ve
    probably forgotten more about the culinary arts than any chef alive has
    learned. I was in the thick of things when today’s conventional culinary
    techniques were first being developed. You ever used the three basic steps in
    dicing an onion? Prego. That was me. Ever heard of clarified butter? Bingo. Me
    again.
    How can that be? I was born in Genoa, Italy in the year of our Lord 1642. That’s
    right. I’m an Eternal, a creature of darkness, a vampire…and I’m obsessed by
    what I cannot eat. Food.
    Ironically, I’m the star of my very own cooking show on the Foodie Culinary
    Channel. My dream job! Where I get to create the recipes I adore and share them
    with my audience and one lucky dinner guest. Which is where my troubles began.
    And will end.
    I was caught partaking the red jungle juice from the neck of my dinner date. I
    was threatened, attacked with Holy water, and finally blackmailed by my
    mild-mannered joke of an Associate Producer. As it turns out, she isn’t so
    mild-mannered.
    Now I have two choices: turn her into a child of darkness or risk exposure to
    the human world.
    I’m thinking there’s a third choice. His name is Rocco Guadagnino
    [Review — I adored this book! It’s a quick read and more addictive than my
    husband’s four-meat marinara. Fast-paced, quirky dialogue and a sweet
    paranormal romance, Midnight Delight will delight your reading taste buds. I can’t
    wait to read the next installment in the series!]

    I Love You Three @MilouKoenings #RLFblog sweet #romance

    Welcome Milou Koenings, author of I Love You Three, a Green
    Pines Romance, a new sweet contemporary romance.
    Why did you write
    this book?
    Because the characters pretty much insisted!
    As I was writing the first Green Pines Romance, Reclaiming
    Home, I found myself falling in love with Mac and Julie, a young couple who
    featured briefly in that story. I kept wondering how those two had met. Then I
    wrote another Green Pines Romance, and there they were again! So when I started
    hearing from readers how much they liked Julie and Mac as well, I knew I had to
    write their story.
    They gave me an opportunity to delve into issues that are important
    to me, like the daily struggles of single moms, and post-traumatic stress
    disorder. And, of course, second chances and happy endings.
    It’s the newest in the Green Pines Romance series, but
    chronologically, it happens before any of the other three books.
    What is your favorite
    genre to read?
    Books with happy endings. That means romances are my
    favorite. If it’s a romantic comedy, even better. I love an author who can make
    me laugh! (That said, I’m also a spy thriller junkie…)
    Who is your favorite
    character from fiction (not including your own)?
    At the moment, Juliet Ashton, from the Guernsey Literary and
    Potato Peel Pie Society. I love her wide-open heart, her grit, her wit, her love
    of books.
    What are you working
    on at the moment?
    Another Green Pines Romance, of course. And a new women’s
    fiction series I hope to launch in the next year.
    Please tell us about
    your latest book.
    Genre: Sweet Contemporary Romance
    Book heat level (based on movie ratings): G/PG
    A former Marine. A single mom. Two broken people.
    Mac’s struggling to adjust to civilian life after the death
    in combat of his best friend. When a teaching job opens up in the small town
    where his friend used to work in the summers, Mac takes it as a sign and moves
    to Green Pines, hoping to find refuge from his demons.
    For Julie, there’s no refuge from night feedings, a crazy
    mom, an ex-mother-in-law and an overdrawn bank account. She’s struggling to
    build a better life for herself and her baby and the only thing she knows is
    she’s not falling for any guy again.

    There’s only one problem. You never know when love will
    knock you off your feet.
