    The Curse by Augustina Van Hoven

    Genre Paranormal Romance

    Book heat level (based on movie ratings): PG

    Prince Laren, a Tovenaar destined to be the ruler of his house, has only one goal. Break the spell that forces him to go catting around at night and unleash his wrath on the sorcerer responsible. Then he meets a woman with fiery hair, deep blue eyes, and the body of his dreams. She’s but a pawn in the looming conflict between members of the hidden community. And the prince is torn between his old and new desires.

    Juliet Cooper’s plans were simple: sell her great uncle’s property, return home, find a job, and get on with life. But then she meets Laren—in both human and cat form. And her plans get complicated. Juliet finds she can’t leave until she knows the secrets that her great uncle’s property and the handsome, blue-eyed man are hiding, unaware of the price she might have to pay.

    When Juliet is attacked by Laren’s opponents, he must decide whether to rescue her, risking not only the wrath of the community members who shelter him and his princely future, but also his life.

    Books and music filled her life as she, her dad and two brothers traveled the country. She would sit in the back seat of the car (her older brother always got to ride shotgun), listening to the current music on the radio, looking out the window and spinning a story based on a phrase or word she’d heard in the lyrics. As you can imagine, traveling the country the music changed from state to state, as did the stories. To this day she loves all genres of music, and books.
    After a career in corporate writing, she’s finally decided to settled down and put pen to paper doing what she loves. Living the dream in her NYC apartment with her canine companion, she’s is bringing her stories and characters to life.

    Know the Hero from Awards Night from Your Desire by Dee S Knight @DeeSKnight #RLFblog #romance #fantasy #magic #PNR

    Know the Hero from Awards Night from Your Desire by Dee S Knight @DeeSKnight #RLFblog #romance #fantasy #magic #PNRFantasy and magic await in Dee S Knight’s erotic romance, Your Desire. These two novellas show how the perfect touch of magic can fulfill fantasies and spark the flame of love. Dee, 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 hero, but first, tell us about the book.

    Awards Night from Your Desire by Dee S Knight

    Genre Fantasy paranormal erotic romance

    Book heat level (based on movie ratings): R

    Your Desire. A mysterious shop appears in town for one reason: to bring the spice of passion and the thrill of love to one special person. Magic is in more than the item purchased—it’s in the heart of the buyer, often hidden, usually surprising. And after enchantment takes hold? The store fades from sight and memory, only to reappear somewhere else. Maybe in your town….

    The Artist and the Director
    Derica Meadows, the conservative Director of Accounting at a large San Francisco firm, sees the most beautiful dress imaginable in a shop window. So different from her usual genderless pant suits, she’s swept into acquiring the gown for a formal business affair the next night. But a funny thing happens on the way to her party, in the form of a compelling man and a photo shoot. Suddenly, the normally logical Derica finds herself swimming in a sea of sexual freedom she’d never before considered. The hunk of a artist can satisfy her fantasies, but what will happen to her climb up the corporate ladder in the process? And to her heart?

    Awards Night
    Allison Hayes has always tried to be all things to all people. Need anything done? Call Allison. It seems no one considers that Allison might have needs, too. When she goes home one night to find a man injured in her pasture, she resigns herself to helping out yet again. However, it isn’t long before she finds the roles reversed, as the mysterious man fulfills her deepest desires. By morning, Allison knows that in being the Good Samaritan this time, she’s gotten more than she gave. The question is, was it passion for one night or for a lifetime of love?

    Know the Hero from Awards Night from Your Desire

    Here are some fun questions to help us know your hero.

    It’s late, he’s bored. What does he do?

    He’s Franklin Nicholas Hughes. He doesn’t get bored. As founder and head of NicHughes Electronics, there’s always work to be done. When he has time off, his mind is always reeling with new ideas and products. Boredom? What’s that?

    What kind of food would he impulse buy if hungry?

    Nic—or Frank as he told Allison his name was—doesn’t think much about food. He’s one of those eats-to-live people, not lives-to-eat. Currently, he has a housekeeper who leaves him meals at home and a secretary who makes sure he eats at work, or he’d probably never remember food. On impulse, though, he’d buy junk food like Hostess Cupcakes.

    Describe the kind of clothes he prefers to wear.

    At work he’s a suit kind of guy. For very casual wear, he’ll do jeans and a tee shirt, but most often, he’s in slacks and a button-down shirt collar—with a sports jacket if he’s going out. Casual for Nic means no tie.

    Does he know how to fix things?

    Yes, especially if it’s tracing down an electrical issue and rectifying it. He can repair things, but at this point, he’d prefer to hire someone else to do it.

    He tried to do something and it went badly. Tell us about it.

    He decided to get involved in robotics with his company. He jumped in feet first and didn’t lay the groundwork. The project never took off. But he got his act together and took time to learn a few things and a year later, his company developed robotics used to help people with head and limb injuries. Nic doesn’t have a lot of patience, but he learned through this experience that taking time at the beginning can pay off at the end.

    How does he act around children he doesn’t know?

    Uncomfortably. He’s really not a children kind of guy.

    What is he like first thing in the morning?

    Ready to go! He’s up at first light for a run and then is ready for work.

    Can he use chopsticks?

    Yes. He does business all over the world and so has accustomed himself to cultural mores. He  might  not think about food, but he thinks about his customers.

    Does he drink coffee? If so, how does he take it? If not, what does he drink instead?

    Yes, black.

    What apps would he have on his phone?

    Wall Street Journal, iBendPipe, stock market reports, Electrical Calc Elite, TheStreet

    Android or iPhone?

    iPhone

    Beard or clean-shaven?

    Clean-shaven

    Earrings/piercings/tattoos or unadorned skin?

    None of the above. When he might have been inclined, he didn’t want to spend the money. Now, he’s not inclined.

    Personal vehicle or public transport?

    Personal. Sometimes a driver.

    Recycle or toss?

    He has no idea. His housekeeper takes care of all that. But he thinks she recycles.

    Get to Know Marty Dashwood from Rash and Rationality by Ellen Mint @introvertedwife #RLFblog #Contemporaryromance

    Get to Know Marty Dashwood from Rash and Rationality by Ellen Mint @introvertedwife #RLFblog #ContemporaryromanceLove is a lot closer and more complicated than Marty ever dreamed in Rash and Rationality by Ellen Mint. In this gender-swapped modern take on Sense and Sensibility, will Marty realize he’s had his one true love standing by his side?

    Ellen, 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 hero, but first, tell us about Rash and Rationality.

    Rash and Rationality by Ellen Mint

    Genre: Contemporary Romance, Romance Comedy

    Book heat level (based on movie ratings): R

    Marty Dashwood is a true romantic. Hearts, chocolates, kisses on the hand—the whole nine yards. His killjoy brother Eldon doesn’t believe in love at first sight, but one day Marty will have the perfect meet-cute, she’ll fall helplessly in love with him and they’ll live happily ever after.

    Brandy’s worked with Marty for almost two years. He’s the best friend she could ever have hoped for after the accident that took her husband. So she should be happy that Marty finally found what he’d always wanted, right?

    So why does it feel like every time she sees Marty with the ‘Social-Media Angel’ he rescued from a mugger, a piece breaks off her heart? How can she explain any of this to him before she loses her best friend forever?

    Rash and Rationality is a modern gender-swapped friends-to-lovers Sense and Sensibility, set in a cozy bookshop.

    Know the Hero from Rash and Rationality

    Here are some fun questions to help us know your hero.

    It’s late, he’s bored. What does he do?

    Marty will scroll through unending pictures of cute animals and send the best ones to his friend Brandy. He really loves coatimundi.

    What kind of food would he impulse buy if hungry?

    Flaming Hot Cheetos. He washes like a surgeon before surgery to keep the red tint off his fingers.

    Describe the kind of clothes he prefers to wear.

    Comfortable but Marty knows how to clean up. He’s the type to break out his nice pants, shoes, and a button-up shirt for a date. Though he spends a lot of time in his green polo for the bookstore he works at.

    Does he know how to fix things?

    It no doubt surprises most to learn that Marty can follow directions. He attached a bike rack to his car all on his own so he could give lifts to his friend Brandy. It didn’t fall off once.

    He tried to do something and it went badly. Tell us about it.

    In college, Marty would take it upon himself to deliver little notes off encouragement to various girls. Sometimes he’d even drop off a rose if she was struggling. One boyfriend took that really badly and rearranged his nose for him. Marty stopped being the Don Juan of the dorms after that.

    How does he act around children he doesn’t know?

    Total clown. One of the favorite parts of his job in a bookstore is being able to get a kid the perfect book, usually one their parents think is too silly or scary. In the book, Marty waves around a bunch of sparklers to the delight of his second nieces and nephews.

    What is he like first thing in the morning?

    Barely cognizant of his existence. He has a long standing daily appointment with the coffee shop where he gets the biggest, sweetest caffeinated drink. He also always gets an extra donut to bring to Brandy. Sleeping in isn’t an option due to his straight-nosed brother Eldon.

    Can he use chopsticks?

    He thinks he can.

    Does he drink coffee? If so, how does he take it? If not, what does he drink instead?

    Take coffee, add milk and sugar. Keep adding sugar. A bit more. Top off with honey and cream.

    What apps would he have on his phone?

    Sheep Wars, Duolingo, Spotify, Instagram — has only three followers.

    Android or iPhone?

    Android, and four or five years old. Working in an independent bookstore doesn’t leave him flush with cash.

    Beard or clean-shaven?

    Clean-shaven. Best Marty can grow is a patchy mustache.

    Earrings/piercings/tattoos or unadorned skin?

    His mamá would kill him if he ever put a needle to his skin.

    Personal vehicle or public transport?

    Marty’s got his own car but he’s not above taking a bus or two.

    Recycle or toss?

    Recycle, though usually into a silly front display for the bookstore.

    Know the Hero from Serendipity by Lisa Chalmers @LisaInk #RLFblog #ContemporaryRomanceLisa Chalmers, 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 hero, but first, tell us about Serendipity.

    Serendipity by Lisa Chalmers

    Genre: Contemporary Romance

    Book heat level (based on movie ratings): R

    Spend an entire week alone in a private villa with a man I just met on an airport layover?

    Crazy?

    Yes.

    Worth it?

    Absolutely.

    There was something about Cillian that drew me in from the moment he took the bar stool next to mine. That layover was nothing short of fate, and the fact we each have a plus one to two different weddings seems like Serendipity.

    But what happens when the week ends? Can we each go back to separate lives on opposite coasts?

    Know the Hero from Serendipity

    Here are some fun questions to help us know your hero.

    It’s late, he’s bored. What does he do?

    Check email/texts, find an old football game on somewhere to watch, digs through the cupboards for something to snack on.

    What kind of food would he impulse buy if hungry?

    Something quick. Depending on what was nearby, likely just a burger.

    Describe the kind of clothes he prefers to wear.

    For work, he lives in suits. Dark colors. When he’s off, jeans, t-shirt, leather jacket.

    Does he know how to fix things?

    He does, he was brought up to be as independent as possible. But he’s also a workaholic and everything that implies, so unless he has the spare time or it’s an easy fix, he’d probably get someone he trusted to fix or help fix him so it takes less time.

    He tried to do something and it went badly. Tell us about it.

    Tried paddle boarding on vacation once. Wasn’t paying attention to what he was doing, too busy talking. It flipped over, he went flying and into the water. Best friend probably still has the video somewhere, but would never tell him that.

    How does he act around children he doesn’t know?

    Friendly. Willing to play, especially if it’s something sporty. Likes to make them smile.

    What is he like first thing in the morning?

    In search of coffee, not overly grumpy, already thinking about work and his to-do list for the day.

    Can he use chopsticks?

    He can.

    Does he drink coffee? If so, how does he take it? If not, what does he drink instead?

    Drinks it, loves it, inhales it, runs on it. Usually with cream, but he’ll drink it without.

    What apps would he have on his phone?

    Anything that helps keep him on task, calendars, reminders, emails; music, sports updates, photo and video apps.

    Android or iPhone?

    iPhone

    Beard or clean-shaven?

    Mostly clean-shaven, when he’s off work for awhile, he’ll go unshaven for a few days, but not for super long.

    Earrings/piercings/tattoos or unadorned skin?

    Tattoo. He got it after making his first big deal as a way to celebrate. Just a small sun on his shoulder blade, easily hidden by shirts. A reminder that anything is possible under the sun.

    Personal vehicle or public transport?

    Depends on the situation. Back and forth to the airport, taxis, ubers. But he prefers to have a vehicle of his own so he can explore, or for business, spread his paperwork and phone out when he needs to.

    Recycle or toss?

    Recycle.

    Thanks for helping us get to know your hero!
