    Rise of the Deva’shi by @parthalan #RLFblog #fantasy #romance

    Welcome Jennifer Allis Provost author of Rise of the Deva’shi,
    a new fantasy romance.
    Why did you write
    this book?
    There’s no better way to put it–I had to. The main
    characters in this book–Latera and Aeolmar–are the first characters I created
    with the intent of writing a book. Their current incarnations hardly resemble
    the rough sketches and outlines I started out with; like any good characters,
    they told me their story, and I just wrote it down. They were full of
    surprises, but the core of the story, and their strong relationship, remained
    the same.
    What is your favorite
    genre to read?
    Fantasy and romance
    Who is your favorite
    character from fiction (not including your own)?
    Jamie Fraser from Outlander
    What are you working
    on at the moment?
    I’m working on the sequel to Rise of the Deva’shi, Golem,
    and a new paranormal romance set in Scotland, Gallowglass.
    What books will we see
    from you in coming months?
    Changing Fate (contemporary romance) releasing March 28,
    2017
    Gallowglass (paranormal romance) releasing June 6, 2017
    Golem (Parthalan #4) (fantasy romance) September 2017
    Please tell us about
    your latest book.
    Genre Fantasy, romance
    Book heat level (based on movie ratings): PG13
    A stolen girl. A legendary champion. A plan that might
    destroy Parthalan once and for all…
    Aeolmar, First Hunter of Parthalan, leads a solitary life.
    Having long since abandoned his quest to kill Mersgoth–the demon that murdered
    his family–Aeolmar moves through his days with cold efficiency. Everything
    changes when he leads a training mission in Brennus, where he’s attacked by
    Mersgoth himself, and saved by an unlikely heroine.
    Latera, first born and heir to Gannera’s throne, is
    kidnapped and left for dead in Parthalan’s vast forests. A lone human amongst
    Parthalan’s fae, she makes a home in Brennus, and lives a quiet life–until she
    finds herself defending a wounded First Hunter from a clutch of demons.
    Back in Parthalan, Harek warns Asherah of something called
    the deva’shi–a warrior loyal only to the demon lord, Asgeloth. Both Aeolmar
    and Latera suspect that there is more to this deva’shi than what Harek has told
    them, but before they can learn the truth, Parthalan’s borders are attacked.
    Will Aeolmar and Latera be able to stop the deva’shi in time, or is it a
    distraction to hide Harek’s true plans?

    Essential Magic by @cara_mckinnon #RLFblog #fantasy #romance

    Today’s featured book is Essential Magic by Cara McKinnon.

    About Essential Magic

    Genre Fantasy Romance
    Book heat level (based on movie ratings): R
    A woman driven to excel. A man ashamed of his past. A desire
    that could lead them to bliss…or peril.
    Etta Mae Cook, a mountain witch from Appalachia, arrives in
    London in 1895. Her goal: to study magic. But she steps off the train and into
    a dangerous world of politics, decadence, and power. Queen Victoria, the Prince
    of Wales, and the Fay Clan are waging a silent war. In the balance: the future
    of spellcraft in the kingdom. Etta’s lineage and magical power make her an
    asset – or a threat – to all three formidable forces.
    Her choices skew when she meets Malcolm Seward, a mage of
    the Fay Clan. He once held a prominent role in society, but a tragic mistake
    forced him to flee into obscurity. His attraction to Etta draws him back into
    the fray, but though she’s drawn to him in return, she didn’t come to England
    for desire.
    Despite her intentions, their passion flares, and Malcolm
    falls for her. Now, Etta must choose: love, or ambition? Either path could mean
    the renewal — or the destruction — of British sorcery. If she follows her
    heart, will she doom their magic?

    Cry Me a River by @liviaquinn #RLFblog #urbanfantasy

    Cover Love includes a cover, blurb, buy links, and social media contacts for the author. Today’s featured book is Cry Me a River by Livia Quinn.
    About the Book
    Title Cry Me a River, Destiny Paramortals, Book2
    Genre Urban fantasy
    Author Livia Quinn
    Book heat level (based on movie ratings): PG
    Mayberry or Middle Earth? – The Paramortals have a saying, “One meets his destiny on the road he takes to avoid it.” Our new sheriff said it differently, “Paramortal, my A$$!”
    My name is Tempest Pomeroy. For nineteen years I denied my heritage, until my brother’s genie bottle went missing. Time is running out for River, and the attraction that was growing between me and Sheriff Jack Lang derailed after a series of shocks sent us both reeling, and he got his first glimpse of my Paramortal “talents” – a few measly bolts of lightning aimed at his—in his general direction. In the course of the investigation we’ve gonr from attraction to suspicion, support to friendship, romance to oh-my-god-get-away-from-me revulsion.
    Jack’s an ex-Navy pilot. He says he wants to know “everything”. My ex-lover, but after we answer Jack’s questions, he’ll either join us, or grab his daughter and take the first jet out of Middle Earth.
    He might help me save my brother and discover the whereabouts of my parents, but he probably won’t still want to take me to the Mardi Gras ball, once he knows “everything”. There’s a lot of everything.

    About the Book

    Title A Theft of Magic
    Genre Fantasy Romance
    Book heat level (based on movie ratings): R
    A woman sworn to truth. A man who deals in lies. A passion lighting the way to love…or loss.
    At the behest of the Duchess of Fay, Ronan McCarrick, thief, smuggler, and Irish revolutionary, travels to the Isle of Skye, the domain of Sorcha Fay. She is known as the Seeress of Skye, an elusive figure who rarely leaves the island. Ronan’s arrival triggers one of her defensive spells, incinerating his clothing and everything he’s carrying. Including the letter that would have told Sorcha why he has come to Skye.
    Despite an instant attraction to the naked and furious Irishman, Sorcha believes that Ronan is an interloper who has been attacking her wards for months. Even when part of his story is confirmed, she still mistrusts him. But when she discovers that two powerful objects are missing from the Fay vaults–someplace he couldn’t have been–she’ll need his help to steal them back.
    If he doesn’t steal her heart first.

    Introducing Sorcha Fay

    Welcome to Romance Lives Forever! We’re happy to have you here today.
    Name: Sorcha Fay
    Age: 26
    Gender: Female
    Birthplace: Fay House, Skye, Scotland
    Profession: Caretaker of Fay House
    Ethnicity/Species (if not human): Human
    Describe your body and build, skin tone, height and weight. Include any unique features such as dimples, freckles, or scars.
    I’m very short and very curvy. I curve out far more than I curve in! My hair is light blonde, with a streak of silver/pearl color that everyone in my family gets when they’ve used magic long enough. I’m very pale, as you might expect from a blonde, with pale blue eyes. I’ve been told they look like a summer sky.
    Who is the significant other in your life?
    The only significant thing in my life at the moment is Fay House. But I recently met a man named Ronan, and if I can trust him…
    Please tell us a little about yourself.
    I’ve spent nearly all of my life in the Highlands and the Isles of Scotland. I am in charge of Fay House, the ancestral home of my clan, but the rest of the family only comes here once a year, so most of the time I’m alone with my small staff and the tenants. Like most of the members of my clan, I can do magic, and I am known for having frequent visions of the future and very strong magical intuition.
    On what special skills do you rely?
    My magical intuition provides me with extra information about people and situations. I can usually tell when things are about to go wrong, although that doesn’t mean I can do something about it!
    Are any of your skills a source of pride or embarrassment, and if so, which ones and why?
    I have frequent visions of the future, and coupled with my intuition, I’ve been given the nickname the “Seeress of Skye.” But I dislike that name, because I can’t control my visions the way true Seers can. The visions come at their own whims, and are about wildly different things. Sometimes they give warnings, or show me scenes from my own future, but most often they are of distance times, places, and people.
    What is your family like?
    My family is big, loud, and rambunctious. It is always a bit of a shock when they descend on me at midsummer and stay for two weeks, or when I travel to a gathering for a marriage, birth, or funeral. But though I do miss them when they aren’t around, I prefer my solitude, quiet, and peace.
    Are you involved in your community?
    Very much! Our family owns all of the land in the vicinity, including the town, so everyone nearby is a tenant of Clan Fay, and a nominal member of the clan, though not everyone has sworn oaths to Le Fay, our chieftess. As the representative of the clan on Skye, I settle disputes, collect rents, and oversee any needed improvements or repairs. I am also the strongest mage in the vicinity, so if anyone needs a spell cast, they come to me.
    If someone from your past showed up, who would you most want it to be, and why?
    I would like to know who my father is. He was out of my mother’s life before she knew she was pregnant, and she never told me his name, or where I could find him. I don’t even know if he’s still alive.
    If you could make any one thing happen, what would it be?
    I would have the solicitors who manage Fay House’s finances actually open the pursestrings and allow me to invest in improvements to the house and grounds. At the moment, I am only allowed enough money to cover repairs and upkeep, but the house is in desperate need of modernization and renovation.
    When (if) you lie or are upset, what gives you away?
    It is very difficult for me to lie. When I try it, I am usually stiff and awkward about it, and stumble over my words. I also flush easily with my pale skin, and lying makes me feel embarrassed, so even if I manage to get the lie out, my cheeks and throat give me away.
