Genre: BDSM paranormal romance
Book heat level (based on movie ratings): X
Sometimes romance can be hell
Wendy Dennison is tired of being a starving author. The royalties from her critically acclaimed romance novels barely pay her bills. Her devoted agent Daniel Rochester may be smart and sexy, but he can’t get her the sales she needs. Then a charismatic stranger appears at her coffee shop table, promising her fame and commercial success, as well as the chance to live out her dreams of erotic submission. But at what cost?
Nothing you can’t afford to lose, my dear.
Seduced by the enigmatic Mister B, she signs his infernal contract. He becomes both her Master and her coach, managing her suddenly flourishing career as well as encouraging her lusts. Under her mentor’s nefarious influence, she surrenders to temptation and has sex with Daniel. The casual encounter turns serious when she discovers her mild mannered agent has a dominant side. As the clock ticks down to her blockbuster release and Mister B prepares to claim her soul, Wendy must choose either celebrity and wealth, or obscurity and true love.

Since then, she has penned plays, tutorials, scholarly articles, marketing brochures, software specifications, self-help books, press releases, a five-hundred page dissertation, and lots of erotica and erotic romance – over one hundred titles, and counting, in nearly every sub-genre—paranormal, scifi, ménage, BDSM, GLBT, and more. Regardless of the genre, every one of her stories illustrates her motto: Imagination is the ultimate aphrodisiac.

A new #ContemporaryRomance by Shilpa Suraj – Twilight’s Temptation @shilpaauthor #RLFblog #EnemiesToLovers
The ace photographer and the supermodel, they should have been a match made in heaven. Instead, they fought like the demons of hell.
Shilpa, welcome to Romance Lives Forever. I’m Kayelle Allen, author and owner of this blog. Happy to have you here! Please tell us about Twilight’s Temptation.
Twilight’s Temptation by Shilpa Suraj
Genre Contemporary Romance
Book heat level (based on movie ratings): RComplicated, surly, and sexy, Manav Apte was probably the only photographer who resented his muse. From the day he’d seen her, there had been no other. Unfortunately, she was the one woman he could never have.
Passionate, talented, and gorgeous, Diana Severes refused to give the temperamental ass behind the camera the satisfaction of knowing he got under her skin. It was, however, impossible not to notice him or his glowering disapproval that trailed her everywhere she went.
Their dislike and distrust of each other is legendary in the fashion industry and yet, the sparks that fly when they come together for work are enough to light the sets on fire.
Will the Golden Girl of India’s fashion scene be able to see beyond his hatred to the love he’s desperately trying to mask? And will the country’s most talented photographer realise that his true talent lies not in what he views through his lens but what he sees through the filter of his heart?

*lizzie starr, welcome to Romance Lives Forever. I’m Kayelle Allen, author and owner of this blog. Happy to have you here! We’re excited to find out more about your heroine, but first, tell us about the book.
Double Moon Destiny by *lizzie starr
Genre Fantasy Romance
Book heat level (based on movie ratings): R
On the night of the Double Moon a child is born, and the destinies of an acolyte and a rebel are changed forever.
Jermanah, acolyte of the religious Compound, has never been given the opportunity to make her own choices. Although she accepts her way of life and yearns to rise higher in the order, she learns ancient, forbidden healing from the Seer. On the night of the
Double Moons, a child is born and given into Jermanah’s care until the boy is taken to the king.
Kierigh was born moments before the rising of the Double Moons, but his twin brother wasn’t so lucky. Rumors flow from the Stronghold—following an ancient prophecy, the king sacrifices the baby boys to increase his power. But Kierigh senses that even after five cycles, his brother still lives.
When Kierigh’s rebels attack the procession, he takes the babe, and Jermanah, to his hidden camp. The captivating acolyte disrupts Kierigh’s ordered and simple life. He opposes her religion and all the Compound claims to stand for. She’s everything he doesn’t need in his life. Yet she is everything he desires.
No longer considering herself one of the Compound, Jermanah discovers freedom, and truths she finds difficult to believe. But when the babe is taken from the forest, she will do anything to save the child, including face the leader of the Compound—and the king.
Can a rebel and an acolyte set aside pride and differences to find a lost brother, defeat evil, and discover their prophecy fulfilling destinies?

*lizzie starr always made up games and stories to keep her company. So, a cunning witch lived in Grampa’s weather research station and was only held at bay by waving a certain weed. An ancient road grader morphed into a boat carrying wild adventurers to islands filled with fierce lions and dangerous cannibals, which really looked a lot like sheep. When her 6th grade teacher read to the class, *lizzie discovered the knights of old, Hobbits, and traveling through space and time. Her first written tales delved into fantasy worlds, and she passed many literature classes by handing in stories instead of essays.
Even though she’d turned up her nose at her mother’s love stories, long night shifts at a nursing home drew her to the facility’s library. There she discovered that romance made tales of fantasy and science fiction more delightful, and the focus of her writing expanded.
Filled with fantasy, love, and romance with a sparkling twist, the stories of her imagination swirl their way into the mundane world and into her reader’s hearts.
When *lizzie must return to a more routine life, she’s *the Lunch Lady* at a private school. Author and lunch lady~~what a combination!

Destiny in the Sentinel Agency series by Laurel Richards
Genre Sci-Fi Romance
Book heat level (based on movie ratings): R
Undercover operatives have discovered Delfina has the power of foresight, and they want to capture and use her. Accompanied by her emotional support animal, Delfina uses her ability to stay ahead of her pursuers. The one thing she doesn’t foresee is Rave. The Imperian male claims she’s his genetic match, but he has so many aliases that she’s not sure if he’s the good guy or the bad. Attraction ignites as they are thrown together by mysterious government agents, a wildlife trafficking syndicate, and a covert agency that recruits people with unique talents. Secrets, passion, and intrigue collide in this sci-fi romance.

Which book is this in the series?
#1
How many books do you plan for the series?
The Sentinel Agency series is a trilogy, so there are three books in total.
How many books are completed?
All three books in the series are complete. The second and third books will be released this year.
What characters are the main stars in your series?
Each book in the series features members or recruits to the Sentinel Agency, a private security and investigation firm that specializes in unique cases. In Destiny, the stars are Delfina Perry—a foreseer—and Ravinger Ward, who has a heightened talent for reading people.

What did you like best about writing this series?
I enjoyed writing all my characters, but I had an especially good time with the pets. Delfina’s emotional support animal, Bulu, is similar to a flying lemur or flying squirrel, only she can change colors like a chameleon.

Read Possessed by the Alien King the new #Scifi #Romance by Krista Luna #RLFblog #AlienRomance
An arranged marriage to an alien is the only way to save humanity in Krista Luna’s new science fiction romance, Possessed by the Alien King. But if her alien warrior husband discovers her secret, will her lies doom them all?
Krista, welcome to Romance Lives Forever. I’m Kayelle Allen, author and owner of this blog. Happy to have you here! Please tell us about Possessed by the Alien King.
Possessed by the Alien King by Krista Luna
Genre Science Fiction Romance
Book heat level (based on movie ratings): NC-17
My fated mate is my enemy. Yet nothing will stop me from claiming her.
Deirdre
I made a horrible mistake. Under orders, I created a virus to drive the Varool from humanity’s new planet. It mutated, killing all of the alien women and our men.
Now, the fate of both our species rests on my shoulders—and between my thighs. To ease my guilt and broker peace, I’ll marry one of the fierce alien warriors and bear his children. All while hiding who I really am.
Their brute of a king claims me, his gigantic body inflaming my desire. Storr’s piercing gaze makes me shiver. If he ever finds out the part I played in all of this, crash landing on the planet will be the least of my worries.
Storr
Humans seized the planet I need for my people. As negotiations deteriorated, varoolian women died. I long for retribution. If I ever find the person responsible—
No. I must set aside my fury to secure my people’s future. Survival demands we reproduce with the enemy.
Although I have no plans to be first, a sweet, musky scent ensnares my senses. Deirdre is my fated mate. I must claim her. She is mine.
Yet consummation does not equal trust. As we battle our way across the untamed planet, suspicions mount. All humans are liars, but Deirdre’s lies may end us both.
Possessed by the Alien King is a steamy enemies-to-lovers romance featuring a growly alien hero, a smart heroine, and plenty of adventure with a guaranteed HEA.
Why did you write this book?
I am a huge scifi geek going back years. My favorite stories always have really strong ties between the main characters. I love the emotions and connections romance allows you to explore, as well as the joy of fated mates finding their HEA. I think we could all use a little more joy.
I also love writing fun, face-paced stories where the action pushes the characters together as they learn to trust each other. This book has a lot of that since Dierdre and Storr need each other to survive on an untamed alien world. I also love adorable alien pets, so I added one of those too.
What is your favorite genre to read?
Space opera science fiction and urban fantasy, both with and without romance.
Who is your favorite character from fiction (not including your own)?
The hard thing here is picking only one! But if I have to, then I’m going to chose Kate Daniels by Illona Andrews to stand in for all the kick-ass heroines I love. My scifi might not have magic, but it always features capable women. [And the sexy alpha men who fall for them.]
What are you working on at the moment?
Possessed by the Alien Warlord. Grol is as grumpy as they come, but he’s met his match in the small but spunky Kira.
What books will we see from you in coming months?
Book Three of the Fated Mates of the Varool, Possessed by the Alien Warlord.

Krista Luna Social Media
One of my earliest memories is of watching Star Trek and wanting to kiss Mr. Spock. Soon after, I saw the original Star Wars movie and fell in love with the charming scoundrel Han Solo.
I’ve been a scifi geek ever since. While I wait for a hot alien to whisk me away on his spaceship, I write fun and sexy stories full of growly alpha men and smart, capable women. There’s steamy romance, action and adventure, and plenty of HEAs.
