When the Right One Comes Along by Livia Quinn @liviaquinn #RLFblog #NewRelease #contemporaryromance
Livia Quinn, welcome to Romance Lives Forever. I’m Kayelle Allen, author and owner of this blog. Happy to have you here! Please tell us about your book.When the Right One Comes Along by Livia Quinn
Genre Small-town Contemporary Romance
Book heat level (based on movie ratings): PG-13
Love happens when you least expect it. . .even when you resist.
Jed Summers has had a change of heart.
When he and Samantha Larue started dating he’d known she was pregnant and still he found her wildly attractive. But when their relationship turned more serious, Jed ended it, telling her he’d sworn off marriage and kids years ago after an abusive childhood. After following her around for six months, as if he still cared, he delivered Sam’s baby and now, every time he sees her and little Nina, he wonders if he made the biggest mistake of his life.
New developments from Jed’s past turn his long held ideas upside down then Sam is threatened and her secret is exposed, leaving her feeling vulnerable. Can he convince her to give him a second chance?
Why did you write this book?
It Had to Be You is the sixth book in the series. Jed is the partner of Officer Del Burke the heroine in book 2 and there was a brief relationship between Jed and Sam in Christmas Wishes (no spoilers). Finally Jed and Samantha get their turn but nothing’s ever easy it seems.
What is your favorite genre to read?
Oh gosh, I love so many. I read historical romance when I just want to relax because I do NOT write that genre. Wouldn’t dream of trying, lol. And depending on what I’m in the mood for, I might pick up a romantic suspense, a romantic comedy or a paranormal romance.If I get stuck on a great series, I’ll pretty much binge on them.
Who is your favorite character from fiction (not including your own)?
One of my all-time favorites is Matthew Claremont from Discovery of Witches and the All Souls Trilogy. Vampire, scientist, lover, spy. . . and more. I get hot and bothered just thinking about him. He’s like the Roarke of the paranormal world (my other fav).
What are you working on at the moment?
Actually, I was going down the road a couple weeks ago and a new series came to me and I’ve written about a third of the first book.
What books will we see from you in coming months?
I just finished the final edits on Christmas Vows which comes out 12/3 and now trying to finish book 8 which comes out in February, I Will Find you, then it’s on to book 7 in my paranormal series.Where to buy When the Right One Comes Along

Salute to Author Veterans | Read a book – support a vet #VeteransDay #Read
Author Veterans are authors (or writers) who served in the military. We celebrate their dedication and thank them for serving.
Interesting Veterans Day Facts
- Veterans Day is always celebrated on November 11th.
- The original name for this holiday was Armistice Day. The word armistice means “state of peace agreed to between opponents so they can discuss peace terms.”
- The first celebration was held on November 11, 1919. This was the first anniversary of WWI ending.
- In 1926, Congress passed a resolution to make this date an annual observance and it became a national holiday in 1938.
- The current name came about in order to honor all who served as well as those who died fighting. The change was legislated in 1954 by President Eisenhower.
- Today we give special honor to the living and deceased servicemen and servicewomen and to the civilians that support them.

Georgia Pine: Southern Promises #3 by KG Fletcher @kgfletcher3 #RLFblog #NewRelease #sportsromance
KG Fletcher, welcome to Romance Lives Forever. I’m Kayelle Allen, author and owner of this blog. Happy to have you here! Please tell us about your book.Georgia Pine: Southern Promises #3 by KG Fletcher
Genre Contemporary Sports Romance
Book heat level (based on movie ratings): R
The agony of defeat never felt so real.
Never in a million years did Jessica Kaufman think she would be divorced from her real-estate mogul husband and left to raise four young daughters on her own in an affluent Atlanta subdivision. The very last thing she expects is an encounter with her gorgeous gardener who looks more like a sexy beast from her daughters’ favorite Disney movie. She is smitten with his evergreen eyes, wild mane of hair and impressive stature.
Tim McGill is in hiding – his reputation and celebrated career on the West Coast left in shambles. He moves far away to distance himself from his downfall and inconspicuously tends the upper-class landscapes to keep his renowned identity a secret. Unlike his typical wealthy clients, Jessica doesn’t seem to mind that he’s a gardener. One spark between them is all it takes to ignite a fiery passion that could explode if Tim’s identity is revealed. He must earn Jessica’s trust and finally come to terms with what he has lost.
Can Tim open his heart wide enough to let in a beautiful mother and her four little girls? Or will his Southern Belle turn her back on him and walk away from their happily-ever-after?
Why did you write this book?
This is Book Three in my Southern Promises Series. It’s the final book in the series and can be read as a standalone.
What is your favorite genre to read?

Who is your favorite character from fiction (not including your own)?

What are you working on at the moment?

Hunters’ Academy 1: Entrance Exam by Ivy Hearne
Survive or Die.
It’s not much of a school motto—not as inspiring as, say, “Let us give light to the world,” or “Knowledge is liberty,” or even just “Light and Truth.” Those are all real school mottoes. So is this one. It belongs to the Hunters’ Academy. And now, so do I.
Since she was twelve years old, Kacela Deluca has suffered debilitating migraines. On the eve of her sixteenth birthday, she learns her headaches are the result of untapped psychic abilities. She’s given a choice: continue to suffer, or leave behind everything she knows and join the Hunters’ Academy. The only catch? If she doesn’t pass the entrance exam, she’ll die.
A teen with blocked psychic powers, a panther shifter who can’t—or won’t—shift, a secret academy, and the power to defend the entire world…if only Kacela can unleash her potential before it’s too late.
Fans of Vampire Academy, Mortal Instruments, Harry Potter, and Dragon School will love Hunters’ Academy!
Entrance Exam is episode one of Hunters’ Academy – expect a new episode every month beginning Fall 2018!

Free on KindleUnlimitedShattered by Bry Ann
Sometimes, when I really think about it, I can almost feel the way the breeze felt against my skin that day. How it washed over me, cooling my heated skin.
I remember counting the minutes it took to get to my boyfriend’s house. Twenty-two, but it took twenty-three that day. Maybe the extra minute was a warning.
One I didn’t heed, of course.
I wanted love. It’s all I wanted. I would have done anything for it.
It made me an easy victim.
Tell me I’m pretty here, hug me there and I was a puppet on his string. He pulled and pulled until he asked me to do the one thing I absolutely could not do.
It broke me to tell him no. Tore me up. I went over to his house that day to try and find a way to make it up to him. To fix what I broke.
Minute nineteen.
Cool breeze. Sunshine. Hope for love, fear I ruined my chance at it by being disobedient.
Minute twenty.
Black. One minute was all it took for Sage Briar-Rose to cease to exist.
To shatter her.
This is the story of how I lost myself. The story of how my naive search for love left me shattered.
Trigger Warning: This book deals with extremely sensitive topics. If you get triggered easily, I’d chose one of my other books.

Return to Honor by Alexa Aston @AlexaAston #RLFblog #NewRelease #medievalromance
Alexa Aston, welcome to Romance Lives Forever. I’m Kayelle Allen, author and owner of this blog. Happy to have you here! Please tell us about your book.Return to Honor by Alexa Aston
Genre: medieval historical romance
Book heat level (based on movie ratings): PG-13
1395 A.D. – Adopted as a newborn by one of England’s most powerful families, Jessimond de Montfort is now grown—and curious about her roots. She sets out to learn who she is away from her family and joins a mummers’ troupe, where she serves as a seamstress and troubadour, hoping she’ll discover love along the way, as all her married siblings have.
Returning from two years of battle in the king’s service, Sir Marcus de Harte discovers his beloved mother has died and his father has remarried and fathered a pair of daughters. His anger drives Marcus from Hartefield from his home and he finds a new home among a group of actors.
Drawn to one another, Jessimond and Marcus become friends—and then lovers—until they are driven apart by unforeseen circumstances.
Join Jessimond and Marcus as they move heaven and earth in order to unite once more and share in a powerful love.
Each book in the Knights of Honor series is a standalone story that can be enjoyed out of order.
Why did you write this book?
This is the final book in my Knights of Honor series. I’ve told the story of all of Geoffrey and Merryn de Montfort’s children. This is the love story of their youngest, Jessimond, who is adopted.
What is your favorite genre to read?
Besides romance, I love thrillers.
Who is your favorite character from fiction (not including your own)?
I’m partial to Atticus Finch. He’s a great lawyer, father, and role model for all.
What are you working on at the moment?
I’m excited about The King’s Cousins, a trilogy that will come out early in 2019. Each sibling gets their HEA—Katelyn in The Pawn; Landon in The Heir; and Quill in The Bastard.
What books will we see from you in coming months?
Besides The King’s Cousins, I have a January release in the Pirates of Britannica series, God of the Seas. The hero, Godwin de Blays, is actually the great-grandfather to the siblings featured in The King’s Cousins.
Next summer, my first Regency trilogy will be released! I’m excited about writing in a new romance subgenre.Where to buy Return to Honor
