    Midnight with the Marquess (The St Clairs Book 2) by Alexa Aston

    Genre: Regency Romance
    Book heat level (based on movie ratings): R
    Can love heal a wounded army officer who doesn’t believe it exists?
    Lady Rachel St. Clair has witnessed how powerful love can be, thanks to the example her brother and wife set, and she won’t settle for anything less. At a house party, Rachel meets an officer returning from the Peninsular War and believes she may have found love, thanks to their clandestine midnight lessons in kissing.
    Major Evan Drake, Marquess of Merrick, witnessed his father murder his mother and believes love doesn’t exist. He’s returned from combat wounded in both body and soul. When he meets Rachel he changes his mind about love, drawn to the raven-haired beauty’s spirit. Yet Rachel devastates him by rejecting him before he can declare his feelings for her, sending Evan into a downward spiral that almost ends in death.
    Nursing her broken heart, Rachel continues her search for love the next Season, though her thoughts linger on those midnights with her marquess.
    Will Evan be able to regain Rachel’s trust—and open his heart to love?
    Find the answer in bestselling author Alexa Aston’s second book of The St. Clairs, Midnight with the Marquess.
    Each book in The St. Clairs Trilogy is a standalone story that can be enjoyed out of order.
    Series Order:
    Book #1 Devoted to the Duke
    Book #2 Midnight with the Marquess
    Book #3 Embracing the Earl
    Why did you write this book?
    This is the second book of my St. Clairs’ trilogy. Rachel saw (in Book 1) Jeremy and Catherine fall madly in love, and she’s ready to do the same—but can’t find anyone she’s attracted to. When a marquess offers to teach her how to kiss, she’s on the road to finding everything she desired . . . and more.
    What is your favorite genre to read?
    I love reading all kinds of fiction, especially romance, suspense, and thrillers.
    Who is your favorite character from fiction (not including your own)?
    Miss Elizabeth Bennet is my idol!
    What are you working on at the moment?
    I’ve finished up the last of my St. Clairs and am hard at work on three novellas (where the St. Chairs will make appearances). I’m delighted to be writing the love story of one of Rachel St. Clairs’ suitors, the Earl of Merrifield. Poor Merrifield lost the girl to a marquess but kept Rachel and her new husband as friends. Now, Rachel is ready to find Merrifield a wife of his own!
    What books will we see from you in coming months?
    Embracing the Earl (The St. Clairs Book 3) is a June 22 release. The three novellas will follow later in 2019.

    Bro by Kayelle Allen

    The tech Senth is about to claim will make him invisible. Finally, the young halfbreed thief will be out of sight, shielded from the taunts humans fire at him. But when that tech reveals he has a human half-brother who’s bound by a cruel slaver, Senth must find a way to save his brother from abuse and win his freedom — even though Senth is a slave himself.
    There’s just one problem. The new Thieves’ Guild tech might make him invisible, but it can’t shield him from the truth…

    The Dragon Wore a Kilt by Holly BargoMultiple free reads for the weekend #FreeBookFriday #RLFblog #Read

    In the northern reaches of Scotland rests Loch Saorach, home to an ancient legend—a dragon. The Matasan family has guarded the loch and its dragon for centuries.
    Over the years Saorach has claimed humans, imbuing them with his fae magic. Connor Matasan, the arrogant Earl of Glencarol, is a recent acquisition. Like all those possessed and transformed by the dragon’s ancient magic, Connor is sith, immortal and commanding powers beyond the human norm.
    Middle aged wife and mother Lila is vacationing in Scotland when Saorach chooses her to join his brood. Her transformation to an eternally young sith is painful and compounded by the loss of everything she holds dear. Waking to a new life, she is utterly dependent upon Connor and his family. Lila feels trapped and resents that the dragon has bound her to Connor, soul to soul, passion to passion: a passion Connor cannot control, a passion Lila fears.
    Will the magic that brought them together destroy them?

    Is It True: Journey to her Dreams by Iris Blobel @_iris_b #RLFblog #ContemporaryRomanceWelcome to Romance Lives Forever. I’m Kayelle Allen, author and owner of this blog. Let’s play Is It True with today’s guest, Iris Blobel, author of Journey to her Dreams, a contemporary romance. This is a game with yes and no questions.

    There must be a reason for her dreams…
    Hollie Anderson, a young woman living in Tasmania, is content with life, even more so since she has met Jeremy. However, she has been having a recurrent dream that impacts her daily life, as well as her relationship, a dream that eventually takes her on a journey to Ireland.
    Samantha Shaughnessy enjoys the success as Head of Advertising for a popular magazine in the Irish capital Dublin. Married to Padraic, she thinks she loves her husband, but when she meets Hollie under unusual circumstances, she needs to face the truth–and not just about her marriage.
    When both women meet and find they share an unexpected tie to the past, will they finally be able to move on into relationships with the men they love?

    Is it true:

    this is your first book?
    No, but it was my first book published by a publisher … and, yes, I now have the rights back, and I revised and edited the story again before publishing it myself.
    this book is part of a series?
    No
    you lost sleep while writing this book?
    No, not at all.
    you did research for this book?
    Coincidentally, yes I did travel to Ireland. I believe I was able to add little things that give the story the bit of “extra”.
    some characters in this book are not human? (pets for example)
    No.
    this book has more than one genre?
    No, it’s a contemporary romance.
    you speak more than one language?
    Yes, my native language is German. I necessarily don’t “speak” other languages, but I did learn French and Spanish as well.
    you grew up where you live now?
    I grew up in Germany and immigrated to Australia in 1996. I now live approx. 100 km west of Melbourne.
    you love to read?
    Yes, I just wish I’d have more time to read.
    you are never late?
    Germans are well known for their punctuality. For me, it can be a friend- / relationship breaker if you’re late!
    you love pizza?
    YES.
    you love sushi?
    Never had it, so I wouldn’t know, but not really something I’d choose to eat.

    A Foundation of Fear by Kim McMahill @kimmcmahill #RLFblog #NewRelease #RomanticSuspenseKim McMahill, 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.

    A Foundation of Fear by Kim McMahill

    Genre: Romantic Suspense
    Book heat level (based on movie ratings): PG13
    FBI Special Agent Devyn Nash is obsessed with taking down Coterie, a deadly group out to control the multi-billion-dollar diet product industry. The FBI’s plan to expose Coterie places Devyn’s best friend and her partner’s fiancé in the crosshairs of this ruthless organization. Can Devyn protect her friend and bring the coldblooded killers to justice before they strike again while distracted by injury, a sexist bully, and a long-distance relationship with a handsome Wyoming sheriff?
    Lobbyist and Coterie assassin Sofia Wilks wants nothing more than to regain control of her life. Sofia knows Agent Nash is nipping at her heels, but the FBI agent isn’t the worst of her fears. She is drawn to a man who has the power to destroy her.
    Why did you write this book?
    A Foundation of Fear is the third novel in the Risky Research Series. This story had to be written because FBI Agent Devyn Nash still has a lot of work to do to bring a deadly group to justice, and she has no intention of giving up on the smoking hot Wyoming sheriff who has stolen her heart.
    What is your favorite genre to read?
    I love to read, write, and watch stories with filled with action, adventure, suspense and a bit of romance.
    Who is your favorite character from fiction (not including your own)?
    I’ve read every book in Clive Cussler’s Dirk Pitt series, so I guess I’d have to say, Dirk Pitt.
    What are you working on at the moment?
    I recently finished book four in the Risky Research Series, A Measure of Madness, and have sent it to my publisher. I also just completed a prequel novelette for the series, A Formidable Foe, which will be free to download. As soon as I kick off A Foundation of Fear, I’ll jump into book 5.
    What books will we see from you in coming months?
    It may be more than months, but I’m hoping A Measure of Madness isn’t too far behind A Foundation of Fear.
