LA, welcome to Romance Lives Forever. I’m Kayelle Allen, author and owner of this blog. Happy to have you here! Please tell us about Preacher’s Redemption.
Preacher’s Redemption by LA Remenicky
Genre Contemporary Romance
Book heat level (based on movie ratings): PG-13
Crystal Jennings returned to Forest Springs with a secret, well, two secrets.
Secret one – she was pregnant with her ex’s baby.
Secret two – she had the proof that could bring her ex down for good.
Laying low in her hometown, she only wanted to stay long enough to plan her next move. Until her old flame, now known by the name Preacher, discovered her secrets and insisted she stay in town under his protection.
The years had changed the young rebel she knew into a brooding father of a young girl who now favored leather jackets and motorcycles. Close-mouthed about his past, he had built a life revolving around his daughter and the diner he co-owned. Back in the day he’d pushed her away just as he pushed her away now.
Over the years her feelings lay dormant just under the surface until the touch of his hand had her emotions swirling once again. Should she stay and see where those feelings led or leave them behind forever to protect herself and her unborn baby?
*Previously published in the Sacrifice For Love Anthology*

Stressing the Hero from The Gazillionaire and the Virgin a scorching #HotRead #Romance by Lisabet Sarai @lisabetsarai #RLFblog
When Silicon Valley entrepreneur Rachel Zelinsky meets reclusive genius Theo Moore, she finds him strangely compelling. Theo is both arrogant and socially awkward, but he has an aura of power that speaks to Rachel’s carefully-hidden submissive side.
The Gazillionaire and the Virgin
Genre MF Contemporary BDSM Erotic Romance
Book heat level (based on movie ratings): X
Disturbed and aroused, she tries to focus on her original objective—a deal to incorporate his Artificial Intelligence software into her company’s popular virtual world. Rachel’s not a woman who lets pleasure interfere with business, but for some reason, she can’t resist Theo’s geeky appeal.
Theo Moore can’t be bought. His past battles with poverty make him deeply suspicious of the billionaire CEO. Still, with her voluptuous curves and brilliant mind, Rachel embodies his ultimate sexual fantasy. Too bad his knowledge about sex derives from extensive research and a stash of kinky porn rather than real-world experience.
That doesn’t bother Rachel, however. In his bed—in his arms—in his bonds—she discovers the bliss of total surrender. Rachel may be Theo’s first lover, but Theo is Rachel’s first true Master—and the first man to truly touch her heart. It seems that love may harmonize their differing goals and values, until Rachel’s unwitting violation of Theo’s trust threatens to tear them apart forever.
Stressing The Hero
Every hero has a story. He has a background, a history, and a past. This interview allows us to meet a hero and get to know him better, by focusing on how he handles being relaxed, as well as how he handles stress.
The Hero’s Relaxed Side
This hero is at a party. Considering his story, describe the party.
Theo actually does attend a party in the book, a fund-raising event for his technology charity Code in the Hood (CIH) that’s organized by the heroine, Rachel Zelinsky. The event takes place at the Computer History Museum, a real museum in Silicon Valley. There’s an open bar, a buffet, a band playing soft rock, and lots of technology executives with cash to burn milling around.
He’s anything but relaxed, though!
How does the hero feel about being this particular party, and what body language is he displaying that gives it away?
He’d rather be almost anywhere else. He parks himself at a table in the corner and fidgets with the CIH brochures stacked up in the center, at least until Rachel drags him out to socialize with potential donors.
Is he more likely to mingle or remain aloof?
He’d much rather remain aloof, but Rachel won’t let him. However, once he gets started talking about the charity which is his personal passion, his nervousness disappears.
If he drinks, what is his drink of choice at this party?
At this party he has his first taste of champagne. And he likes it very much!
How much drink is his usual?
Theo hardly ever drinks. Once he tastes the champagne, though, he wants more.
The hero figures out where the hiding places are and then goes there. Is it to hide, to avoid someone, or to go drag a friend back to the party?
Theo would love to hide. Crowds and strangers make him terribly anxious.
Is he likely to latch onto a friend and stay with him/her and ignore others, or is he the friend that others latch onto?
He hangs on to Rachel for dear life. She’s the only person he knows at the party, and the only one who can keep him from panicking.
If someone picked a fight at this party, how is the hero going to handle it?
If you asked Theo this question in the abstract, he’d tell you that he’d run and hide. In fact, he’d probably try to break up the fight, then possibly freak out afterward.
Is the hero the one most likely to get tossed out of the party, or the one who does the tossing?
He’s not likely to get tossed out. He’s generally pretty mild-mannered. It’s pretty difficult to imagine him tossing anyone else out, though physically he could manage this.
Will he know when to leave, or stay late and make a nuisance of himself?
He’d rather not be there at all, so he’d probably leave as soon as he could slip away.
The Hero’s Stressed Out Side
How does the hero handle it if the cops or some other authority figure pulls him aside when he was blameless in a situation?
He will try to reason with the cops. He might get sarcastic. If he’s not successful in convincing them to release him, he’ll probably sulk.
How does the hero react to hearing a scream?
His first reaction will be to try and discover who screamed, and why. If he believes someone is being hurt, he’ll temporarily forget his self-consciousness
If he sees someone being assaulted, what is the FIRST thing that crosses his mind?
He wonders what was going on, and why.
If he sees someone being assaulted, what is the FIRST thing he does?
In fact, he probably wades into the fray, trying to pull the assailant off the victim. Later, he won’t believe he’s done this.
This hero attempts to rescue someone and realizes that he is in over his head. The odds are against him and there is no way out. He is going to get his butt handed to him. What does he do?
When Theo can’t utilize his physical skills to implement the rescue, he’ll fall back on his intellectual abilities. He’ll try to figure out some way to trick his opponents, or to sneak away.
The hero runs into the one person from his past he wanted to avoid. He can’t get out of the situation and must interact with him/her in some way. What does he do?
He becomes very stiff and formal. He keep his words to a minimum, saying only what is absolutely necessary.
Someone younger than the hero is in charge of the situation, and they are handling it badly, perhaps bungling things. How does the hero deal with it?
He’s surprisingly bossy, giving instructions and perhaps getting a bit impatient if the person in charge doesn’t obey. He might resort to sarcasm or ridicule.
The hero is in physical pain but must bear up under it and keep going. What does he tell himself in order to get through the situation?
He thinks about the safety and comfort of his home, and how good it will feel to finally arrive there.
What mentor’s words come to mind in a bad situation?
“Don’t underestimate yourself. Expect to succeed.”
What lesson from his past gets him through a stressful situation?
He remembers how he saved Rachel from a cyber-assault. That reminds him how powerful he really is.

Bucket list of Mystic Rayne from An Angel’s Unintentional Entanglement @TenaStetler #RLFblog #Paranormal Romance/Mystery
A fantasy adventure between Angel & shapeshifter stirs the intrigue in this paranormal romance/mystery by Tena Stetler
Let’s meet Mystic Rayne from An Angel’s Unintentional Entanglement, a put book genre here by Tena Stetler. Welcome to Romance Lives Forever. I’m Kayelle Allen, author and owner of this blog. Happy to have you here! Please tell us about An Angel’s Unintentional Entanglement.
An Angel’s Unintentional Entanglement by Tena Stetler
Genre Paranormal Romance/Mystery
Book heat level (based on movie ratings) PG13
Fallen warrior angel, Caden Silverwind, lives alone in Colorado’s rugged Rockies, healing from physical wounds as well as the mental anguish suffered during battles with dark demons. Then he finds a woman barely clinging to life after a horrendous beating. He is not prepared for the entanglement she brings to his life, nor the feelings she awakens in him.
Bureau of Indian Affairs Agent, Mystic Rayne’s personal dilemma and assignment nearly gets her killed. Divine intervention is a complication she never expected and her growing attraction to Caden is undeniable. Can she trust him with her secret?
Their quest to uncover her attacker takes them from the pristine mountains in Colorado to the wilds of Wyoming. Along the way, they find answers which may place them in more danger. Determined to solve the mystery, they must also navigate their feelings and fears to find love and unite heaven and earth.
Bucket List
When someone dies, we say they “kicked the bucket.” Therefore, a list of things that a person wants to accomplish, places to go, situations to experience, and so on have become known as a “Bucket List.”
Age 35+
Gender Female
Birthplace Wind River Valley Reservation
Profession Bureau of Indian Affairs Agent
Ethnicity Native American Indian
Please provide a physical description of yourself.
Tall, slender, long thick straight black hair that falls nearly to my waist. I usually wear it in a long braid hanging down my back. High cheek bones, full lips (at least that what Caden claims) and bronze skin.
Please tell us a little about yourself. I attended Harvard Law School to the chagrin of my grandfather. He’s or was the shaman for our tribe. I had an independent streak a mile wide and wanted to spread my wings off the reservation. As it turns out, my destiny was right here helping my people. Which is how and why I became a Bureau of Indian Affairs Agent assigned to Wyoming’s Wind River Valley. After my grandfather passed on, I took his place as shaman and on the tribal council which didn’t set well with the younger men of the tribe. Times they are a changing which nearly cost me my life.
Who is the significant other in your life?
Caden Silverwind. He’s a warrior angel. But that’s a story for another time. Maybe you should read to book to find out. <wink>
If you haven’t made a bucket list before, perhaps now would be a good time. Who knows? It might inspire another book. While you’re at it, how about telling us about some of your other favorite things? Here are the questions.
What is your birth order? I am the older twin. I have a twin brother. We were estranged for a long time. I managed to keep this a secret from the author for quite a while. LOL
Tell us about your favorite toy as a child. A stuffed eagle my spirit animal. I used to carry it around insisting it could fly. Which it couldn’t, but it helped me understand visions that I tried to deny. I was a difficult child.
Describe your favorite food and how it’s prepared.
Decadent cocoa pie with meringue topping. Yum!
Tell us about your best friend.
Chinoah – We’ve been friends since we could walk. My grandfather dubbed us the trouble twins with good reason. LOL
What are two places you would like to visit before you die, and why?
Niagara Falls and tour the United States in an RV. This is a great land and I’ve seen so very little of it.
Where is a place you would never like to return, and why?
The plot of land in Colorado where I was attacked by my own people. Not that my people are bad, just one that let evil spirits lead him. Other’s made bad choices, but you have those types wherever you go. Don’t you?
Who is someone you would like to meet, and why?
That’s a tough one. I’d like to meet the original government council that set up the reservations and put my people on them. I’d like to know their reasoning. History paints an ugly picture, I’d like to know if it was true and given the outcome, if they’d done anything differently.
Who is someone you would like to avoid, and why?
The man who tried to take my birthright away. He was a vicious manipulator. He did unauthorized things with the tribe’s power given to him.
If you could time travel to any date, what would it be, and what would you do there?
I’d like to go back in time before my grandfather died. Tell him he was right and I’ve made my peace with my destiny. I also wish I’d spent more time with him, learned the old ways from him. But I know he’s proud of me.
About Tena Stetler
Her books tell stories of magical kick-ass women and mystical alpha males that dare to love them. Travel, adventure and a bit of mystery flourish in her books along with a few companion animals to round out the tales.
Colorado is home; shared with her husband of many moons, a brilliant Chow Chow, a spoiled parrot and a fifty-year-old box turtle. When she’s not writing, her time is spent kayaking, camping, hiking, biking or just relaxing in the great Colorado outdoors.
Why did you choose this character for the interview today?
Her strong spirit and fearlessness. She guided this story and kept the other character’s in line as much as possible. There are a cast of strong willed characters in An Angel’s Unintentional Entanglement.
When writing the book, what did you discover about this character that surprised you?
That she had a twin brother. Didn’t see that coming.
Are any sequels planned for this book?
An Angel’s Unintentional Entanglement is the fourth book in A Demon’s Witch Series. A Magic Redemption was released in December of 2018 and I’m working on the sixth book in the series as we speak. All the books in the series are can be read as stand alones.
What genre(s) would you like to write that you haven’t tried yet?
I have a cozy mystery series simmering. I hope to bring it to fruition in the near future.
Is there anything you’d like to say to your readers?
You are the reason I write my stories. I am so thankful for your support and continued reading of my books. For you, I want to create a memorable love story with spice and adventure. Characters that will grab hold of your heart and hang on long after you’ve read the last word and closed the book with a satisfied sigh. Nothing feels better to a writer than to have readers clamoring for the next book. It makes my heart soar. Thank you all so much!

Read Vawn by Jessica E Subject @jsubject #RLFblog #SciFiRomance #MMRomance #SciFi
It was supposed to be one night with no strings attached. But why can’t they get each other out of their heads? That’s what happens to Vawn and Ojokun in VAWN, an MM SciFi Romance by Jessica E Subject.
Jessica, welcome to Romance Lives Forever. I’m Kayelle Allen, author and owner of this blog. Happy to have you here! Please tell us about Vawn.
Vawn by Jessica E Subject
Genre MM SciFi Romance
Book heat level (based on movie ratings): R
Vawn doesn’t need a mate. He’s already established himself universe-wide as a hot name in fashion, while raising his daughter. But he won’t say no to a fling with a hot space racer when he travels to Eurebly to visit his brothers. One night. That’s all he can give. Because his heart shattered when he lost his previous alpha, and he hasn’t been able to repair it completely. He refuses to love someone like that ever again.
Ojokun survived on Jenegath in order to leave the planet and become the best space racer in the universe. Though he flies with a team, he’s never depended on anyone outside of his jet. He keeps to himself. Has one-night stands, just like every other space racer. But, after a mind-blowing night with the brother of two of his teammates, he can’t stop thinking about the gorgeous omega, or the foreign longing that scares him more than his overly-protective teammates.
Can Ojokun convince Vawn that he wants more than one night? Or is that all they were ever meant to be?
QUICK
Do you write more than one genre? If so, what are they?…
Yes, I write sci-fi romance and paranormal romance. It can be MM, MF, FF, or MMF. My recent releases have been MPreg.
How do you come up with ideas?…
I get inspired by pictures, music, nature, conversations, and so much more. There are actually a lot of parts of my books that were inspired by snippets of conversations. My recent release, Vawn, was inspired by a picture of seven guys walking together in racing suits with their helmets tucked under their arms.
What is the single most important part of writing for you?…
Getting these characters and their stories out of my head. It’s crowded in there, so I keep trying to give them all the stories they deserve.
When did you write your first book?…
In grade seven. It was called ‘It Starts With a Kiss.’
FUN
Leather or lace? Both. There’s leather and lace in Vawn. ????
Black or red? Both. And purple, green, blue, gray…
Satin sheets or smooth cotton? Cotton
Ocean or mountains? Both. There are no mountains in Vawn though.
City life or country life? Both – I’ve lived in both, and they each have their advantages and downfalls.
Party life or evening at home? Evening at home
Dogs or cats? Both. I only have a dog right now, but I grew up with both, and many more animals.
