The Last Dragon by Daryl Devore
Genre Medieval Fantasy Romance
Book heat level (based on movie ratings): GWriters write in seclusion and dream of readers loving their books. Your interest in my work puts a smile on my face, warmth in my heart and will keep me writing. I am an eclectic writer. I write romance but in many genres and heat levels. Sweet romances – The Gift, Christmas Notes, Dancing in Circles, and others. Hot romances – Desires, Love My Fate, Two Truths and a Lie and many more. There are also compilations where I have bundled romances together to heat up your evening – Hot and Hotter, Love a Billionaire and Capturing His Heart.
The Last Dragon is my first foray into writing medieval fantasy romance and may I say I had a blast writing it. There are knights, dragons and faeries all set in a mythical, medieval kingdom millennia ago. When I wrote it, it was a single book, but my muse had other ideas. Tomorrow on Romance Lives Forever, the second book in the series is featured – A Voice in the Air. The series is now titled Long Ago, and a third book is currently being written, but it has no title yet as I am only on chapter 2. But so far there is a faerie, a prince and some wyverns.
I do not have a conventional newsletter. I have an author group where I can chat with my readers about my books and my life and not fill up their inboxes. Below, I have included the link to the FaceBook group, but if you prefer not to use that site, I have a duplicate group on MeWe. And – if you prefer not to use that, I will provide a monthly email version of the newsletter. I want to make it as easy as possible for you to connect and learn about my books and my writing.
Available in the following formats: Mobi (Kindle), epub (Nook + other readers), PDF

Two writers in one. Daryl Devore writes hot romances with sexy heroes and strong heroines. Victoria Adams is Daryl’s alter ego when she’s inspired to write sweet romances with little to no heat.
Daryl lives in an old farmhouse in Ontario, Canada, with her husband, two black cats – Licorice and Ginny-Furr Purrkins – and some house ghosts. Her daughter is grown and has flown the nest. Daryl loves to take long walks on her quiet country road or snowshoe across the back acres, and in the summer, kayak along the St. Lawrence River. She has touched a moon rock, a mammoth, and a meteorite. She’s been deep in the ocean in a submarine, flown high over Niagara Falls in a helicopter, and used the ladies room in a royal palace. Life’s an adventure and Daryl’s having fun living it.

#NewRelease The Toymakers Guild: The Complete Series By Lisabet Sarai @lisabetsarai #Steampunk #Romance
If you like brilliant, wanton women and kinky steampunk sex toys, dive into the alternate universe of the The Toymakers Guild.
The Toymakers Guild: The Complete Series By Lisabet Sarai
At Randerley Hall, lust is a lubricant to creativity. Nothing is impossible. Nothing is forbidden.
Defying the repressive morality of the Victorian era, the Toymakers Guild uses advanced technology to fabricate bespoke sexual devices for the discrete pleasure of select clients. Its members are not only brilliant engineers but also sexual renegades seeking freedom from the prudish society that surrounds them.
Nineteen-year-old prodigy Gillian Smith arrives at Randerley to apply for an apprenticeship in the Guild. With her technical abilities and her lascivious temperament, she is eminently suited to join the Master Toymaker’s close-knit band of uninhibited erotic artisans. Gillian flourishes among the Toymakers, designing and implementing ever-more-outrageous carnal contraptions. Each voluptuous commission she completes, each sensual adventure she enjoys, binds her more tightly to the Guild and to the perverse, tortured genius who is its founder.

Lisabet Sarai became addicted to words at an early age. She began reading when she was four. She wrote her first story at five years old and her first poem at seven. Since then, she has written 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, LGBTQ, and more. Regardless of the genre, every one of her stories illustrates her motto: Imagination is the ultimate aphrodisiac.

Read the science fiction series Terras Five by Anne Kane @AnneKane #RLFblog #SciFi #SciFiRomance
Anne, 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 Terras Five Cyborg series.
How Terras Five came to be.
I am seriously in love with my Terras Five Cyborg series, and hope my readers are too. I’ve always enjoyed science fiction and wanted to pair that with romance. My original idea was to have a planet full of Alpha males who were used to submissive females. Then I’d pair them with human females who don’t always (or ever!) do what they are ordered. The results were even better than I anticipated.
Terras Five is a planet colonized by humans who chose to become Cyborg in order to survive the harsh environment they found themselves in. The children are born human, receiving cybernetic implants during their childhood. This means that humans and Cyborgs are genetically compatible, since they have a common ancestry. The planet now has a stable population, but the lifestyle they have developed is considered strange by the humans that occupy the other planets in that part of the galaxy. Terras Five males are Cyborg, but the females are fully human and live in pampered enclaves. The females’ sole purpose is to produce offspring for the colony.
Inevitably, there are cultural clashes between the Cyborgs of Terras Five and the humans in the rest of the galaxy. These clashes are what make the stories so much fun to write. The romances are all about the interactions of human and Cyborg and how both cultures come to realize their differences are not as important as what they feel for each other. Of course, there’s lots of action along the way!
To date, there are seven books in the series with several more planned. Did I mention I love the Cyborgs of Terras Five? Did I mention that book 1 – Her Cyborg Lover – is only 99 cents?
Her Cyborg Lover
Natalie’s loved and lost and she’s not so sure she wants to risk her heart again. She’s willing to settle for a challenging career as a space-pilot instructor and a succession of no-strings attached lovers. But that’s before her boss saddles her with the last thing she wants—a new partner.
Jebediah recognizes his perfect match in Natalie from the moment she seduces him on a dare. Everything that makes her a top-notch pilot, from her fearlessness to her passion, make a night in her bed both challenging and unforgettable.
A dangerous confrontation with a brutal enemy, an exploding drive engine and a traitor close to home throw everything into perspective. Natalie is going to have to put the past behind her and risk it all, because when your partner is also your lover, failure is not an option.

Anne Kane lives in the beautiful Okanagan Valley with a bouncy little rescue mutt who’s breed defies description, a cantankerous Himalayan cat, and too many fish to count. She spent many years trying to fit in and act normal, but finally gave up the effort. She started writing romance in 2008, and her fate was sealed when she won a publishing contract with Red Sage Publishing and just a month later Changeling Press accepted her first submission. Since then she had published more than thirty stories in a variety of sub-genres, all with a happily ever after.
Her hobbies, when she’s not playing with the characters in her head, include kayaking, hiking, swimming, playing guitar, singing and of course, reading.

Have you read A Swan’s Sweet Song by J Arlene Culiner @JArleneCuliner #RLFblog #ContemporaryRomance
Instant attraction and crossed wires. After too many years onstage as a glittering country music star, Sherry Valentine dreams of an acting career, but publicity-shy reclusive playwright, Carston Hewlett, hates being used for his contacts. And despite the deep attraction between the two, Sherry’s agent, first-class manipulator Charlie Bacon, is capable of ruining any romance.
J Arlene, I’m happy to host you on Romance Lives Forever. I’m Kayelle Allen, author and owner of this blog. Tell us about A Swan’s Sweet Song.
A Swan’s Sweet Song by J Arlene Culiner
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Book heat level: SensualSmart-talking Sherry Valentine has fought her way up from poverty to stardom as a country music singer. Ever surrounded by clamoring fans and paparazzi, her spangled cowboy boots carry her from one brightly lit stage to the next. But Sherry’s been on the star circuit for too long, and she wants a change: is it too late for an acting career?
A renowned but reclusive playwright, Carston Hewlett cherishes his freedom, the silence of the deep woods surrounding his home, and his solitary country walks. So why is he fascinated by a flashy country music singer? Perhaps a short passionate, fling will resolve the problem.
When their names are linked in the scandal press, and Sherry’s plans to become an actress are revealed, Carston feels betrayed. Is their budding relationship doomed?

Read the hot new paranormal romance by Tina Donahue @tinadonahue #RLFblog #ParanormalReverseHarem #PNR
In Tina Donahue’s paranormal reverse harem Hard Lust, Megan’s quest to save her younger sister lands her in Hell. There, she’s condemned to work for three mega-hot fallen angels who own Hard Lust, a wicked, no-holds-barred nightclub. Will she be able to resist their charms… or will she make these bad boys hers for eternity?
Tina Donahue, welcome to Romance Lives Forever. I’m Kayelle Allen, author and owner of this blog. Happy to have you here! Please tell us about Hard Lust.
Hard Lust by Tina Donahue
Genre: Paranormal reverse harem
Book heat level (based on movie ratings): Could be R, could be X… there are 3 guys to one woman. However, this isn’t erotica, so I’m not sure.Three sexy demons—what’s a girl to do?
Don’t ever trust a demon. Unfortunately, Megan has learned that lesson too late. The deal she made to save her sister’s life––has landed her in Hell temporarily and about seventy years early. And now she has three sexy demons trying to tell her what to do.
Nope. Not going to happen.
These guys have never had to deal with such defiance. Andros figures she’s due for some erotic discipline, which he’ll happily provide. Racan’s pure alpha, his hardcore plans include bondage and submission. Quiet yet intense, Vespar expects endless kink to spice up their carnal play.
Who would have ever expected she’d end up falling for them? Too bad demons can’t be trusted…because someone is trying to kill the magic and threatening her stay in this lusty world.
QUICK
Do you write more than one genre? If so, what are they?…
I write and have written in every genre (and subgenre), including paranormal, urban fantasy, suspense, chick lit, romcom, werewolf/vampire, high heat, sweet/clean, contemporary, Regency, historical, adult, new adult, reverse harem, ménage, forbidden romance, sci-fi, dark mafia, military, cowboys, and sports.
How do you come up with ideas?…
They pop into my head unbidden. I could be reading the news and think, ‘What if this happened?’ Or I could be driving and listening to the radio and a song lyric will make me think, ‘What if this happened?’ From there, the characters and plot begin to unfold.
What is the single most important part of writing for you?…
That’s a hard question. I’d say there are several essential parts, including actually writing (sitting down and doing it), research, and rewrites.
When did you write your first book?…
I was nine. I called it Dimples the Adventurous Flea (and illustrated it). Dimples, the hero, was a flea who jumped from dog to dog in his quest to ‘see the world’. On a French poodle, he was in France. On an English bulldog, he was in England (you get the drift). After I wrote and illustrated it, I made copies and sold them around the neighborhood to my friends’ parents. My first book tour. 😊
FUN
Leather or lace? Lace
Black or red? Red
Satin sheets or smooth cotton? Smooth cotton (have you ever slept on satin sheets? They’re godawful)
Ocean or mountains? Ocean
City life or country life? Actually neither. I prefer the suburbs
Party life or evening at home? Evening at home
Dogs or cats? Cats hands down. Cats rule!

Tina’s an Amazon and international bestselling novelist who writes passionate romance for every taste – ‘heat with heart’ – for traditional publishers and indie. Booklist, Publisher’s Weekly, Romantic Times and numerous online sites have praised her work. She’s won Readers’ Choice Awards, was named a finalist in the EPIC competition, received a Book of the Year award, The Golden Nib Award, awards of merit in the RWA Holt Medallion competitions, and second place in the NEC RWA contests. She’s featured in the Novel & Short Story Writer’s Market. Before penning romances, she worked at a major Hollywood production company in Story Direction.
On a less serious note: she’s an admitted and unrepentant chocoholic, brakes for Mexican restaurants, and has been known to moan like Meg Ryan in When Harry Met Sally while wolfing down tostadas. She’s flown a single-engine airplane (freaking scary), rewired an old house using an ‘electricity for dummies’ book, and is horribly shy despite the hot romances she writes.

Thank you and ‘Auf Wiedersehn’ to Kayelle’s RFL Blog from Iris Blobel @_iris_b #Books #RLFblog
I know today’s post is supposed to be a last chance to promote one of my books for the last time here on the RFL Blog before the blog retires next year.
But I’d like to take this opportunity to say thanks. Thanks to Kayelle, who deserves more than a thanks. My gratitude for all she’s done over the many years, and not just for the RFL blog, but for everything else she’s created, oversees, and keeps running. The many (many!) ways that she tries to help authors find their way in the business of publishing. And she doesn’t do it by just creating opportunities, no, she guides everyone along. She’s always reaching out to help and finding solutions. I had a quick look through the blog and counted six posts promoting my books. That’s amazing. And she did it without asking for anything in return.
Her support went beyond helping authors. October was always the #Canceraware month on the RFL Blog, and I’m sure I’m not the only one who appreciated the opportunity to talk about the illness and its struggles.
Kayelle, my sincerest thanks for everything you have done over the many years. I hope one day all your good deeds will come back multiplied in good luck. ♥
And while I am here, I might as well ‘show off’ one of my books. 😊
Fresh Beginnings is currently 99c (on Amazon only).
Why did I write this book?
I love this book. We went to the USA a few years ago, travelling in a motorhome through 5 different states and having the time of our lives. After returning home and looking through hundreds of photos, I came up with the idea to turn our itinerary into a story. Fresh Beginnings was born. I hope the readers will enjoy this little journey, and hopefully my love for the places that we went shines through.Iris Blobel Social Media
Yes, come and say hello ♥
Iris Blobel writes warm, sexy, and sometimes witty Australian Contemporary Romance books for readers who, like herself, still strongly believe in love and Happily Ever Afters. And she knows HEAs. Her couples are hungry for life, done with the past, passionate about family, and emotionally hopeful for a future. The stories are mainly set in Australia but also in New Zealand and even the US, depending on where her travels take her. She loves nothing more than for her readers to join her on her journeys.
