What Belle eats for dinner, from Arresting Benjamin by Amber Daulton @amberdaulton1 #RLFblog #RomanticSuspense #ContemporaryRomance
A pregnant indie musician runs out of luck when an anti-fan targets her in Amber Daulton’s new romantic suspense, Arresting Benjamin. Will her one-time fling be able to save both her and their unborn child?
Amber, welcome to Romance Lives Forever. I’m Kayelle Allen, author and owner of this blog. Happy to have you here! Please tell us about Arresting Benjamin.
Arresting Benjamin by Amber Daulton
Genre Romantic Suspense
Book heat level (based on movie ratings): RA one-night stand, a surprise baby, and a mysterious stalker.
Mechanic Benjamin Starwell can’t stop thinking about Belle Hamlin, the ballsy musician he slept with and skipped out on months earlier. He never meant to get her pregnant, but he’ll do whatever it takes to win back her trust and be a part of his child’s life. His desire for Belle drives him to be a better man, but he’s worn thin with a garage to run and his estranged sister dumping her troubles on him.
Belle’s juggling impending motherhood, her indie rock career, and a stalker who’s determined to see her fail. Even though she’s desperate to get her priorities straight, she pushes aside her past hurt and welcomes Benji back into her bed. She never expects him to slip into her heart.
When the danger escalates, they face the greatest challenge of all—protecting their unborn child.
Let’s chat about what to eat
First, what is your name and how old are you?
Hi, everyone. I’m Belle Hamlin, and I’m 29 years young. First off, I want to give Kayelle a big thanks for inviting me to visit today. The past few months have been crazy, so it’s nice to sit back and chill for a bit.
If any, what food do you refuse to eat?
During my pregnancy, I had a long list of no-no foods that made me run straight to the toilet. Pork and fish were high up on that list, but now, even though I’m no longer pregnant, I can’t stand to eat it. Just the smell of Canadian bacon makes me nauseous, which really stinks because I LOVE Hawaiian pizza—or, well, I used to.
Tell us about a meal or food that says “home” to you.
Chicken casserole. It’s my mom’s recipe, and the first time I cooked it for Benji, he fell in love with it too. It’s made with three kinds of cheese, penne pasta, lots of veggies and spices, and chicken strips. YUM!
Do you keep snacks on hand, and if so, what are they?
Of course! Chocolate is a big one. Girl can’t survive without melt-in-your-mouth milk and dark chocolate, ya know. I’ve also always liked bananas, but during my pregnancy and now after it, I can’t get enough of it. Banana bread, pudding, muffins, milkshakes, or just plain old bananas—gimme!
How much coffee or tea do you drink?
Cappuccinos are my go-to drink. The foam is the best part. Going de-caf sucked during the PG months.
Favorite alcoholic beverage?
Gin and tonic. It makes me do stupid things, though, like wind up naked in a guy’s bed—a guy I barely know. Knew—excuse me there. A crap-load of things have happened since my one-night stand with Benji, and sometimes, I think I know him better than I know myself.
Who are your favorite people to share meals with?
My girlfriends—Mia, Shea, and Chanel. They’re my besties, and I love ’em to death, even though Chanel can drive me up the wall with her bad attitude (and she has the gall to say I’m the one with the bad attitude. Puh-lease, but I digress).
Have you heard the good news? Shea is finally getting her own story. Mia and I had a long talk with our author, Amber, and we finally got her butt in gear to write Shea’s happily ever after. It’s called Trevor’s Redemption (that’s her guy!) and will be released later this year. Stay tuned to Romance Lives Forever for the new release update.
If your author has a pet, what does she feed the animal?
Interesting fact. My cat, Pepperoni, is based off of Amber’s cat, Pepper. Both felines are plump tortoiseshells with a heck of a lot of cattitude. They eat what all cats love—milk, cheese, tuna…you name it. Of course, that’s usually for special occasions like birthdays and Christmas, but both Amber and I also give our fur-babies treats for no reason at all. We adore them, and our babies know it.

What Alice Treemont gives Jace Constant for dinner, in All About Charming Alice by J Arlene Culiner @JArleneCuliner#RLFblog #Contemporary Romance
In J Arlene Culiner’s recent contemporary romance release, All About Charming Alice, the heroine, Alice Treemont, is a herpetologist who protects snakes and rescues dogs. She lives in a rattling old house in the Nevada desert and cooks vegetarian meals.Jace Constant, a well-known writer, is renting a room in Alice’s house, and he’s an out-and-out carnivore… or at least that’s what Alice thinks: “You look like a carnivore to me, not a vegetarian.” A cannibal, a woman-eater.
True, Jace doesn’t like the desert, dust, dogs, dog hair, and snakes terrify him, but vegetarian fare? Well… he’s willing to try anything!
J Arlene, 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 book.
All About Charming Alice by J Arlene Culiner
Genre Contemporary Romance
Book heat level (based on movie ratings): PG13Alice Treemont has no intention of falling in love. Living in Blake’s Folly, a semi-ghost town, she cooks vegetarian meals, rescues unwanted dogs, and protects the most unloved creatures on earth: snakes. What man would share those interests?
Jace Constant is in Nevada, doing research for his new book, but he won’t be staying. He’s disgusted by desert dust on his fine Italian shoes and dog hair on his cashmere sweaters. As for snakes, he doesn’t just despise them: they terrify him.
So why does the air sizzle each time Alice and Jace meet? A romance would entail far too many compromises.
Let’s chat about what to eat
Alice Treemont is in her forties. In 2022, she lives in the semi-ghost town of Blake’s Folly, Nevada. She is a vegetarian because she wants to harm no creature. What sort of food does she prepare? How about zucchini fritters made by mixing together whole-wheat flour, eggs, salt, cumin, coriander, and black pepper? They taste wonderful with fresh yogurt and mint.
And why not try squares of buttery oven baked polenta (coarsely ground cornmeal) topped with vegetables that have been roasted with fresh garlic, rosemary, and a few drops of olive oil?
What is the worst meal Alice has ever eaten? Like her author, J. Arlene Culiner, being served a plateful of meatloaf is a nightmare come true.
As for breakfast, Alice loves a big cup of milky coffee, homemade blueberry muffins, coddled eggs (you have to try those), homemade crusty bread and fresh butter. Yummy!
Drinks? Jace Constant loves fine wines, and Alice certainly shares his taste.
As for her animals, Alice feeds the dogs good kibble. The author also feeds kibble to her big beastie, Virgule, and that certainly seems to work perfectly. He’s fourteen years old, but he’s still good at helping me solve grammar problems.

Jennifer, 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 book.
Waiting for a Miracle by Jennifer Wilck
Genre: Contemporary romanceBook heat level (based on movie ratings): PG
Benjamin Cohen, widowed father of six-year-old Jessie, is doing his best to hold it together through order and routine. The last thing he needs is his matchmaker mother to set him up with her next door neighbor, no matter how attractive she is. Rachel Schaecter’s dream of becoming a foster mother is right within her grasp, until her meddlesome neighbor tries to set her up with her handsome son. What’s worse? He’s the father of her favorite kindergarten student! She can’t afford to let anything come between her and her dream, no matter how gorgeous he may be. Can these two determined people trust in the miracle of Hanukkah to let love and light into their lives?
Let’s chat about what to eat
As the character, please answer at least six questions. You may answer all, or come back for a second interview and answer more of them. Your choice.
First, what is your name and how old are you?
My name is Rachel Schaechter, and I’m twenty-eight.
What is the time period in which you live?
Current day New York City.
What is your favorite meal?
I’m not a picky eater, and I love latkes, which are fried potato pancakes we eat at Hanukkah. And we usually have brisket for dinner, so let’s say that’s my favorite meal—brisket with latkes at Hanukkah.
Tell us about a meal or food that says “home” to you.
Well, one the main reasons I love our Hanukkah meal is that my mom used to make it every year when I was growing up. It reminds me of the warm holiday times with family sitting around the table, with the glow from the menorahs in the window.
When you find yourself with some type of unknown food on your plate, what do you do?
I’ll try it, especially if there’s a sauce. And it also depends on whether or not I’m with other people or not. For example, when Ben and I went to the Bryant Park Winter Village, there were lots of different food vendors there, in addition to the shops. I would have liked to try something new, if Ben and I hadn’t had a disagreement forcing me to leave early.
Do you keep snacks on hand, and if so, what are they?
Chocolate is a must. I’m a Kindergarten teacher, and I need a pick-me-up during the day, so I keep a stash of chocolate snacks in my desk drawer.
How much coffee or tea do you drink?
Usually just a cup of coffee a day—although i’ll admit that sometimes the size varies.
Who are your favorite people to share meals with?
Honestly, Benjamin and his daughter, Jessie. When he’s not being bossy, he’s a wonderful man to be around. And his six-year-old daughter is my favorite student. She’s so adorable and smart.
Tell us what your author eats or drinks while writing about you.
Coffee in the morning, tea in the afternoon, and water any other time.
If your author has a pet, what does she feed the animal?
Well, her dog is old and very finicky, so she’s been trying a lot of different food to try to get her interested. Currently, her dog likes turkey dog food and turkey bacon treats.

What Sky Wheeler eats for dinner, from Makin’ Merry by LizAnne Axtel @LizAnneAxtell #RLFblog #Contemporary #HolidayRomance
A very cold, snow covered Santa—with puppies— knocks on Kasey’s door in LizAnne Axtell’s holiday short, sweet, and steamy romance. Maybe Christmas won’t be so bad after all .
LizAnne, 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 book.
Makin’ Merry by LizAnne Axtel
Genre Contemporary InstaloveBook heat level (based on movie ratings): R
Sky Wheeler doesn’t have a family of his own, so he has no problem playing Santa for the Turquoise Creek Ranch kids. Until a sudden snowstorm and broken down pickup leave him stranded in the middle of ranch country with no cell connection and a pair of starving foundling puppies. The house he passed a half mile back might be his only refuge from the cold.
Alone and struggling to keep her family’s ranch after her divorce, Kasey Powers knows she can’t provide the kind of Christmas she’d hoped for her two kids. There’s only a handful of gifts under the tree and very little to fill the stockings hung on the mantle. She’s gotten used to making do, and she’ll stay up all night creating homemade gifts if that’s what it takes to put smiles on her kids’ faces.
Then a very cold, snow covered, grouchy Santa knocks on her door.
Let’s chat about what to eat
First, what is your name and how old are you?
Sky Wheeler. And I’m old enough to know better.
If any, what food do you refuse to eat?
Anything that lays on the plate and looks at me. Love me some fried fish, but not if the head’s still on.
Tell us about a meal or food that says “home” to you.
A meal that says home? Any meal shared with someone you love, with family. Home isn’t the place. Home’s the people. It could be a fancy holiday meal, or just a bowl of tomato soup, as long as I’m with my people, it’s home.
What is the worst meal you’ve ever eaten?
Went on a blind date once and ended up with whole shrimps on my plate. And by whole, I mean they still had their heads on. It’s the eye thing. Had no idea shrimp were so judgmental. But, so was my date. About everything. Never saw her again. And I’ve never gone on another blind date.
Growing up, who was the best cook in your family?
Me. But that’s not saying much. Both of my folks worked, so I made a lot of suppers for my younger brother and sister and me. Easy stuff like Mac and cheese or spaghetti. It was edible and filling, but not anything you’d find in a cookbook or restaurant. Utilitarian cooking.
If you cook, what kind of food do you like to prepare?
Any meals I cook are still at that utilitarian skill level. Mom did give me a cookbook when I moved out, and I’ve tried a few recipes, but I don’t enjoy cleaning up the mess I always make, or the not having a clue if it’s going to turn out edible or not. I haven’t messed up that boxed Mac and cheese. Yet.
Do you skip breakfast or is eating that a must-do for you?
I work on a ranch and that’s a hard, physical job, so breakfast is a must. And more than just a bowl of cereal, although that’s my go to if I’m running late. Usually I’ll have eggs with bacon or sausages. Toast. Leftovers from the night before. Anything filling to get me going.
Do you keep snacks on hand, and if so, what are they?
Not much of a snacker although I do carry jerky while I’m working in case I need some energy. Although… now that I think about it, I do have a hard time staying away from fresh baked cookies. Oatmeal raisin’s my favorite. With peanut butter a close second. Probably a good thing I can’t cook—or bake. Too many cookies and my horse would be giving me the side-eye.
How much coffee or tea do you drink?
Way too much coffee. Just plain. No fancy stuff.
Favorite alcoholic beverage?
An icy cold beer after a long day.
What do you grab when there’s no time for a regular meal?
Jerky, like I said before. Or a sandwich. I grew up with white bread and Miracle Whip, so that’s my go to with whatever meat and cheese that’s available.
Who are your favorite people to share meals with?
Family. Meals when the Turquoise Creek Ranch employees gather—because we’re just one big family—are raucous and filled with caring and friendship. But now that I’ve got my own little family, that’s where I want to be. The woman and kids I love. Because that’s when I’m home.
Tell us what your author eats or drinks while writing about you.
This is an easy one because LizAnne is consistent with her writing snacks. Chocolate—preferably milk chocolate with nothing in it—and Diet Pepsi.

What Rory eats for dinner. Character interview from Magic and Home by Alexa Piper @ProwlingPiper #RLFblog #MMRomance
After having met his monster mate and discovering he can use magic, Rory finds himself on Aër, the monster world, in this second installment of Alexa Piper’s Monster Apocalypse series. Rory discovers that he likes that strange world, but danger follows, and the shadow of unusual magic he wields looms large.Alexa, 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 book.
Magic & Home by Alexa Piper
Genre mm post-apocalyptic monster romance
Book heat level (based on movie ratings): R
Over the past two years, Rory has learned that other people aren’t the best of company, that the guilt of causing the Apocalypse is a heavy burden, and that monsters only see him as a meal. Until Rory met Inkiri, who sees Rory as his mate.
Now, Rory has to navigate what it means to be with someone who not only isn’t human but who also is from another world altogether… and since Rory finds himself in that otherworld all of a sudden, he has to adapt fast. Inkiri definitely has no intention of slowing down in his quest to make his human mate happy.
While Rory is beginning to wrap his head around liking the new place and the new customs, he can’t relax into a peaceful happily ever after because whatever connection Rory has to the magic that unleashed the Apocalypse, people want that, meaning they want him. Where Rory and his newfound family ran to may not have been far enough to escape their pursuers’ clutches.
Let’s chat about what to eat
First, what is your name and how old are you?
Hi, I’m Rory, and I’m twenty-three.
What is your favorite meal?
Mmh. I’m not sure what it’s called. Inkiri–that’s my not-quite-human mate, took me to his world the other day, and they have this stuff, which is like a gel. A little like aloe I guess, but it tastes flowery and a little spicy. I really liked it, but I never asked what it was called. There is lots of interesting food on Aër, the monster world. Also some stuff that I don’t care for.
If any, what food do you refuse to eat?
Massacre buns. They are actually called massa buns, and they are vile. They’re super oily and taste like cilantro and raisins, just ugh. Cannot recommend.
Tell us about a meal or food that says “home” to you.
It’s not any specific food, but sometimes when I get to watch people cook and they enjoy it, I totally get nostalgic vibes that take me back to my childhood and the really good au pairs. Oh, I have to mention Nokim’s banana bread of course. Nokim is part of our monster and human found family unit, and sometimes what he cooks up is strange, but it’s usually tasty.
When you find yourself with some type of unknown food on your plate, what do you do?
Yeah… after the massacre bun incident, I’m really careful now. I suppose if I didn’t know it at all, Inkiri would taste it first to check if it’s something I’d like. He’s all caring like that, you know.
What is the worst meal you’ve ever eaten?
Massacre. Bun.
Do you skip breakfast or is eating that a must-do for you?
Breakfast is okay. I skip it sometimes, but not usually, because it gets Inkiri upset and all worried about me.
Do you keep snacks on hand, and if so, what are they?
I don’t, but you know what? Inkiri always carries some nuts on him. It’s for the birds though! He’s a real bird whisperer.
How much coffee or tea do you drink?
I like coffee, and living in the Apocalypse really makes you appreciate stuff like that. I savor it more than I did before.
Who are your favorite people to share meals with?
My guys. They are the best. I know we aren’t related and we couldn’t be more different what with them having horns, but they’re family.

Well, in the diner where I work, Dwayne, the owner, makes this baba ganoush that’s to die for. I know that’s not a meal, technically, but it should be.
Tell us about a meal or food that says “home” to you.
I guess… you know what, until not too long ago, that would have been gnocchi, but it’s lasagna now. With tiramisu for dessert.

My mom did all the cooking. I helped sometimes, and so did my sister… that’s all been such a long time ago, you know.
If you cook, what kind of food do you like to prepare?
I’m not much of a cook, not because I don’t want to, but because I’ll end up taking food home from the diner or making something quick after my shift.
How much coffee or tea do you drink?
A normal amount of coffee, I guess? Some people I serve, they have far more than I do. There is this writer for instance. He comes into the diner late at night and still has several cups of coffee while he writes.
Who are your favorite people to share meals with?
I… I’m not sure how much I can say about him, but there is someone very special to me, and I like having dinner with him. Well, dinner for me. Technically, it’s breakfast for everyone else.
