    Genre : Romantic Comedy

    Book heat level (based on movie ratings): R
    Lexi is a vivacious, quirky, and fiercely independent woman with enough attitude and wit to intimidate even the most confident of men. Levi is a sexy-as-hell, cocksure, smoldering hot marine blessed with smooth swagger and cool confidence to charm his way into any woman’s bed. The one thing they have in common, though, is their disinterest in finding love. She’s determined to not let love interfere and dictate her life. And with his career, he doesn’t need the emotional ties and baggage of love, and dreams of white picket fences.
    But a few chance encounters have these two tangled up in one wild, passionate, explosive ride which neither of them expected, and which leaves them completely and utterly addicted to each other. Already in too deep, Lexi stubbornly fights her growing feelings for him and refuses to become vulnerable against the power that love seems to yield. She has witnessed firsthand how loving someone can destroy a person, leaving him defenseless against a life of emotional turmoil. She refuses to let it happen to her.
    Levi knows that Lexi is holding back. He knows that she is keeping a part of her heart guarded. He’s determined to burn down the walls she so desperately clings to, and make her surrender her all to him. But with his long-lost brother’s unexpected return comes an inexorable danger that he will do just about anything to protect her from—even if it means losing her, and in the end, breaking her heart.

    About the Author

    I live in the beautiful sunny city of Cape Town,
    South Africa with my hubby and two children.
    My love for writing started in High School when I
    received my first writing assignment – which I flunked big time!  But with
    that failure eventually came a consuming passion for writing.
    Why Romance you ask?  The answer is simple –
    writing romance means I can have sexy, hot heroes occupy my mind most of the
    time without feeling guilty!  
    And now that I’ve managed to nab my first publishing
    contract, my husband encourages it – he even helps me build the characters.
     How awesome is that!
    I love humor!  I think humor and laughter is
    the answer to most problems in life.  
    Live, laugh, love, drink sparkling wine & don’t
    be afraid to act crazy every once in a while!

    Aislinn Salameh Seduction in Sierra Leone #Suspense @olivianightread #RLFblog

    Meet Aislinn Salameh from Seduction in Sierra Leone.
    Author Bio
    Olivia Night, a
    fictional character herself, has always been an avid reader and writer. She
    found the romance genre in college and has never been able to get enough. One
    sleepless night, the main characters of Book One in her Men of FTI  series
    sprang from her head fully formed. They demanded she tell their story; so she
    did. As they revealed themselves, so did two other intriguing characters. Those
    characters convinced her to give them their own books because their stories
    were worth telling too. And so Olivia suddenly became a romance author. When
    Olivia is not writing, she has the best job in the world, which, too, will
    remain a secret. In her free time, she reads, write, drinks wine, or is, most likely,
    out emulating Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Olivia lives in one of the most diverse
    and vibrant cities in the U.S.—Baltimore. She lives with her cat, which she is
    convinced was a gladiator in his past life. Olivia plans to continue being
    awesome at this thing called life. Really, that’s her only goal.
    About the Book
    Title: Seduction in Sierra Leone, The Men of FTI Book 1
    Genre:  Contemporary, Romantic
    Suspense
    Book heat level (based on movie ratings): R
    In the mangroves of
    Sierra Leone, two strangers raised a world apart find themselves inextricably
    connected. Seduction in Sierra Leone, the first in a series of three
    novels, is a fast-paced tale of murder, lust, and love that transports the
    reader to a foreign and mysterious world of danger.
    Aislinn Salameh, an
    American relief worker, is searching for purpose in her self- imposed lonely
    world. The stranger who enters her village on a blistering hot day seems more
    animal than human. She knows she should stay far away but can’t stop herself
    from being drawn to the mysterious man.
    Brandt Fairlane is
    haunted by the sins of his past. Detached from others, Brandt has spent his
    life alone. His line of work is too dangerous for the luxuries of love and
    family.
    When Brandt sees
    Aislinn and her haunting eyes, he knows he must possess her. But when Brandt’s
    past comes back from the dead and Aislinn is caught in the crossfire, it is up
    to him to keep her safe. In order to survive, they must learn to rely on one
    another. As they run for their lives, the heat between them becomes undeniable.
    Now, Brandt must not only protect Aislinn from a madman committed to stealing
    her away, but he also must protect her from himself. Because if Brandt steals
    her body and her heart, he’ll never let her go.
    Introducing Aislinn Salameh
    Welcome to Romance Lives
    Forever! We’re happy to have you here today.
    Thanks! I am happy to be here today!
    Name: Aislinn (Ashling) Salameh
    Age: 26
    Gender: Female
    Birthplace: Maryland
    Profession: That depends on the year. Last year I was a teacher, this year I am a
    relief worker in Africa.
    Ethnicity/Species (if not human): I am Arablc (Salameh) and Greek. Though my first name is Gaelic. My
    mom was a bit nutty. Hence my pretty odd name.
    Describe your body and
    build, skin tone, height and weight. Include any unique features such as
    dimples, freckles, or scars
    .
    I’m super short, and would never be called skinny. I think the feature
    most people notice, or stare at are my eyes. They are a really, really light
    green. Brandt, my man, says they are the color of the inside of a cucumber.
    Who is the significant
    other in your life?
    Brandt Fairlane, CEO of Fairlane Trade International
    Please tell us a little
    about yourself
    .
    I am a currently a relief worker in Sierra Leone. I grew up all over
    and have a hard time settling. I travel a lot because of that and I kind of
    just go where the wind takes me.
    Do you see morality as
    black-and-white, or with shades of gray?
    I think I am more of a situational person. I’m not sure that people
    appreciate situational ethics, but in my experience what is right in one
    situation may be wrong in another.
    What past event causes you
    the most fear?
    Losing my parents. We were abroad when it happened and when they died
    I was truly alone. It was terrifying and that feeling has stayed with me.
    What is your biggest need?
    To feel that I am, in some way, being of service to others.
    If you could make any one
    thing happen, what would it be?
    I would bring my parents back. That, or take away what happened to Brandt
    as a child. But rewriting the past can have repercussions and I’m not sure that
    I would like how that would change the future.
    How emotionally expressive
    are you to others?
    That is entirely up to who it is. I tend to be guarded around most
    people. But I learned to be open with Brandt. It wasn’t the easiest thing for
    me to do, but it was worth it.
    Who in your life has the
    power to hurt you the most and why?
    Well, that would be Brandt. He never would, of course. But when you
    love someone they have all the power in the world. It’s kinda an exchange of
    power in some ways.
    What would you like to
    tell your writer?
    Thanks for sticking with me! I know sometimes I was difficult to put
    down on paper because I tried to keep from exposing myself fully to you. But
    I’m glad I eventually did. You told our story perfectly.
    What would you like people
    who hear your story to know?
    Life can take you on some many different types of journeys. Any
    journey that involves love is the best kind. I hope you love reading about my
    journey as much as I loved experiencing it.

    About the Author

    I write medieval romance novels full of passion and intrigue
    set in 11th and 12th century Ireland, Scotland, and England.
    Although all my works are fiction, I often like to incorporate
    authentic places, events, and people to increase the reader’s enjoyment. One of
    the more valuable lessons I have learned as a writer is the importance of using
    real history with the flair of artistic license. You’ll discover a world of fiction
    wrapped around historical people and events!
    I live in New England with my husband, two cats and a yellow
    Labrador named Caledonia.

    Rubble and the Wreckage by @RoddClark #RLFblog #RomanticThriller

    Cover Love includes a cover, blurb, buy links, and social
    media contacts for the author. Today’s featured book is Rubble and the Wreckage by Rodd Clark. 

    About the Book

    Title Rubble and the Wreckage
    Genre M/M Romantic Thriller
    Author Rodd Clark
    Book heat level (based on movie ratings): R
    Gabriel Church knows you can’t take a life without first understanding
    just how feeble life is, how tentative and weak it stands alone. If you desire murder,
    you hold a life in your hand. Whether you release it to grant life or grip tighter
    to end it, it is at your command and discretion. Gabriel is a serial killer with
    a story he wants told.
    Christian Maxwell studied abnormal psychology in college but
    chose instead to focus on a career in writing. His background comes in handy when
    he thinks of writing about a serial killer. He can’t think of anyone more qualified
    to write the story of Gabriel Lee Church, and do so in the murderer’s own words.
    It’s been done before, but never with a killer who has yet to be captured or convicted.
    There was never anything more than a gentleman’s understanding
    between the two men that Christian would record Gabriel’s life story. The killer
    did not ask for his complicity in any crimes, nor did he ever ask for his silence.
    Christian’s interest in the man, though, is fast becoming something more than academic.
    When the writer and his subject become unexpected friends and then lovers, the question
    remains: What is Gabriel’s endgame . . . and why does he want his story told?

    About the Author

         Internationally known author, Grace Augustine, was born in
    Shelby, Montana and grew up in Cut Bank, Montana (dubbed as The Coldest Spot in
    the Nation). Her work career has taken her from title and abstracting to
    administrative assistant church work to co-owning a small town weekly newspaper
    to her current profession as a floral designer.
         Grace thinks of herself as a “Jill” of most trades
    and is not afraid to learn new things. “If you can’t learn something new
    each day, there’s something wrong,” she says.
    The ideas for her Acorn Hills series stem from her growing
    up years as well as the issues she has had to overcome along the way.
    “I’ve developed a new romance category…for the over 50 crowd…I’m
    calling it the salt and pepper genre. My books deal with real life issues,
    overcoming adversity, maintaining a positive outlook, and so much more. Just
    because we are 50 yrs old or older doesn’t mean that life stops. We all still
    want attention and affection and adventure! We want to experience all life has
    to offer. We use our age as wisdom to share with those around us. We are
    sexual, sensual, and sensible,” Grace explains.
         Augustine was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis in July of
    2003. Her thoughts on that “It may slow me down, but if I can at all do
    it, I will. Sitting and feeling sorry for yourself isn’t the answer…living
    your life with an open, joy-filled heart is.”
