Selkie’s Seduction by Anne Kane @annekane #RLFblog #NewRelease #ParanormalRomance
Anne Kane, 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.Selkie’s Seduction by Anne Kane
Paranormal Romance
Book heat level (based on movie ratings): R
From award winning author Anne Kane comes the tale of a sexy Druid and a sassy Selkie with a fear of commitment.
When Nikki’s sister sends a modern day Druid to warn her about impending danger, the attraction is instant and mutual, but the Selkie is having none of Wolfe’s silly talk about destined mates. Her animal form is a free-spirited otter, and she fears the call of the wild might be too strong to allow her to settle down and raise a family. Her greatest fear is that the call of the ocean will lure her away from her family, and her children will suffer as she did when her own mother deserted her.
But when the danger becomes all too real, Nikki’s link with the sexy Druid is her only comfort, and she realizes some risks just might be worth taking.
Why did you write this book?
I wanted to write a story where normal people lived side by side with the mystical. Since my family roots are in Scotland, I have always been fascinated by tales of the Druids who protected the lands and the trees so when I was looking for a hero to protect the heroine in my story, a Druid seemed like the obvious choice.
What is your favorite genre to read?
It depends on my mood. I usually go for paranormal romance, or science fiction. Occasionally I read suspense and mystery. I rarely read non-fiction unless I’m doing research or need it for work.
Who is your favorite character from fiction (not including your own)?
I think that would have to be Captian Malcolm Reynold from Serenity J
What are you working on at the moment?
Having just finished a book, I’m at the decision point for the next one. I’m trying to decide whether to do another book in my Cyborg series, or maybe do a lighter Christmas type story. The other option is to finish the suspense novel that I started a couple of years ago during nano. I have around 60K written on it but it’s not finished. Too many projects on the go!
What books will we see from you in coming months?
I just finished a contemporary Novella for Changeling Press Rooster series, called Ride ’em Cowboy. My beta readers say it’s a departure from my usual genre but they really liked it. It still has to go through edits, but I believe it is on the release schedule for mid September.Where to buy Selkie’s Seduction

Anne Kane lives in the beautiful Okanagan Valley with a bouncy little rescue dog 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.

Civility, last of the To Be Sinclair series by Eva Caye @evacaye #RLFblog #scifi #romance
Eva Caye, 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.Civility, a science fiction romance by Eva Caye
Genre science fiction romance
Book heat level (based on movie ratings): R
Captain Princess Alea Sinclair is tasked by the Emperor to be her aunt Elizabeth’s lady-in-waiting, i.e. bodyguard, on their trip to the Attican Empire to rewrite their $2 trillion treaty. Behind the scenes, health issues and a cruel commanding officer make their private lives hell while they strive to maintain their public image of competence. And their stated mission isn’t the only one; they must also find out what they can about an intelligent alien species the Atticans have found on a nearby planet.
They act like simple pets, but due to their hypnotic mental influence, Elizabeth falls for Alea’s scorned C.O. while Alea and her two new Attican friends strive desperately to understand the wily chalates. How can Alea determine the intent and the extent of the aliens’ influence upon Elizabeth, the most brilliant social analyst and diplomat of the Sinclair Demesnes, before they ruin the renegotiation of this critical treaty?
This is the final volume of the To Be Sinclair series. This novel contains sexual situations.
Why did you write this book?
I had to write at least one romance with an aging female character. Elizabeth is 57 years old and going through menopause. Her 25-year-old niece Alea is chosen as Elizabeth’s lady-in-waiting, and their assignment is to negotiate with the Attican Empire. Since it’s the finale of the series, I had to bring in several beloved secondary characters as well as try to resolve the issues between two enemy empires.
What is your favorite genre to read?
I love science fiction, but I also sometimes read mystical books. The two aren’t very different from each other in many cases!
Who is your favorite character from fiction (not including your own)?
I adore Dorothea Macdonald from Julian May’s final two books, Diamond Mask and Magnificat. I think super-intelligent people make up their own rules for ‘acceptable’ behavior, and this sweet child grows up to be classy yet doesn’t take any crap from anybody.
What are you working on at the moment?
I’ve been working on my prequels, but for some reason a couple of short stories are pestering me to be written. One is unrelated to the series, but the other is a character in my series that I think I’ll just put out on my blog as a free read someday.
What books will we see from you in coming months?
First, I need to get Embracing the Goddess out. It was the first book I wrote and it’s been sitting around for several years, now, waiting on me to fine-tune it. Then, I have a second prequel, Undying Dawn, and a third book in the Sinclair universe but different from those called Arrow of Fate. They’re all structured around significant developments humankind will make in the future, such as gestation chambers and new modes of communication.Where to buy Civility

Vesta’s Clockwork Companions by Juli D Revezzo @julidrevezzo #RLFblog #historicalromance #steampunk
Juli D Revezzo, 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.Vesta’s Clockwork Companions by Juli D Revezzo
Genre: Steampunk Romance
Book heat level (based on movie ratings): 1
When Vesta Bartlett, a wealthy alchemist and inventor, arrives in England to finalize an arranged marriage and help overhaul a family friend’s outdated ironworks, she never expects to find the family so secretive, nor to develop feelings for her fiancé’s younger brother, Henry.
But the growing attraction between Vesta and Henry is just the beginning of their troubles. Things really heat up when they’re drawn into a secret project for Queen Victoria’s military, one that requires Vesta’s knowledge of clockwork and Henry’s iron.
An epidemic has wiped out all the dogs in Britain, and beyond. If the military fail in their effort to restore the species, a clockwork creation may be all that stands in the way of a world without canine companionship.
Are Vesta and Henry up to the challenge?
Why did you write this book?
I wrote Vesta’s Clockwork Companions because I wanted to write a Victorian romance and this young woman (Vesta) popped into my head. She happened to be a Texan blacksmith and alchemist who was betrothed to an Englishman, what was she doing with her clockwork when the young man wasn’t looking, I wondered, why did she keep chatting with his brother? So with that idea came the story and all the little background steampunk elements that ended up in the book.
What is your favorite genre to read?
Fantasy, romance, classics. I read pretty much anything.
Who is your favorite character from fiction (not including your own)?
I have several. Elric of Melniboné, and Lily Bart and Lawrence Selden from House of Mirth by Edith Wharton, Clarissa Dalloway, from Mrs. Dalloway by Virginia Woolf, Jacob Flanders from Jacob’s Room (also by Virginia Woolf), Jon and Kira from The Yden series by Suzanne G. Rogers, (also Jessamyn from her book Jessamyn’s folly.), King Arthur, Morgana, Tibby (from the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants by Ann Brashares), and inspector Abberline from the movie From Hell, Zoe, and indeed the whole crew of Firefly, and many, many, many more.
What are you working on at the moment?
At the moment, I’m getting Vesta’s Clockwork Companions out there, and working on the next book in my paranormal fantasy series, Antique Magic, as well as the next book in my fantasy romance series Celtic Stewards Chronicles.
What books will we see from you in coming months?
I have several I had hoped to have out this year, but realistically I might only manage one more this year. Hopefully, that will be the Antique Magic book I mentioned above depending on rewrites and edits and all that usual pre-publication jazz. If I’m really lucky, I might have two, out before the end of the year, but I’m not holding my breath.Where to buy Vesta’s Clockwork Companions

Rise of de Wolfe by Alexa Aston @AlexaAston #RLFblog #NewRelease #medievalromance
Alexa Aston, 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.Rise of de Wolfe by Alexa Aston
Genre: medieval romance
Book heat level (based on movie ratings):PG-13
1321 A.D. – After her brother’s death at the Battle of Bannockburn, Elia de Wolfe is sent to the royal court to serve as a lady-in-waiting to Queen Isabella. The granddaughter of Patrick de Wolfe, known as Nighthawk, and great-granddaughter of William de Wolfe, the Wolfe of the North, Elia is fiercely proud of her heritage and yearns to return to her home after years of fostering with the queen. When she learns her father is determined to keep her far from the border troubles with Scotland, Elia makes plans to return home.
Ferand de Montfort lost his young wife and son in childbirth and seeks a new bride–this time, one of his own choosing. He travels to London and is captivated by Elia de Wolfe, a spirited and intelligent woman. Elia convinces Ferand to escort her home, understanding she will be in his debt. Ferand hopes collecting that debt will include making Elia his wife.
Elia’s increasing reluctance to reach home springs from her growing attraction to Ferand. She is torn between remaining loyal to her family and losing her opportunity for true love.
Join Ferand and Elia on their journey across England as they find love and unite two great English families, the de Montforts and de Wolfes, in this exciting prequel to The Knights of Honor medieval romance series.
*Each book in the Knights of Honor series is a standalone story that can be enjoyed out of order.
Series Order:
Book #1 Word of Honor
Book #2 Marked by Honor
Book #3 Code of Honor
Book #4 Journey to Honor
Book #5 Heart of Honor
Book #6 Bold in Honor
Book #7 Love and Honor
Book #8 Gift of Honor
Why did you write this book?
I’d never written a novella before when Kathryn Le Veque asked me to write in her World of de Wolfe Pack for Kindle Worlds. I used the opportunity to tie it into my Knights of Honor series and unite the great-granddaughter of her William de Wolfe with one of my de Montforts.
I was able to create the character of Elia de Wolfe, a strong female, and give her a love story with Ferand de Montfort. Elia will give birth to Geoffrey de Montfort, the hero of Word of Honor, Book 1 in my Knights of Honor series. Geoffrey and his wife, Merryn, appear in all ten books of the series as my anchor couple. It was fun getting to see the origins of this powerful family.
Unfortunately, Kindle Worlds’ novellas only were sold in the US, disappointing my readers who are abroad. Then–Amazon shut down Kindle Worlds July 17–so no one would be able to read this prequel! Kathryn Le Veque swept in and solved my problems. She created her own imprint, Wolfebane Publishing, to publish these novellas, which will be available to readers worldwide. I can’t wait for my fans in Canada, the UK, India, and Australia to have access to Rise of de Wolfe.
What is your favorite genre to read?
I have always been a reader of romance, especially historical romance, but I also enjoy thrillers, mysteries, and suspense.
Who is your favorite character from fiction (not including your own)?
It’s got to be Miss Elizabeth Bennet from Pride and Prejudice.
What are you working on at the moment?
I’m with Dragonblade Publishing, and they are putting out a Christmas Anthology written by 8 of their authors–including me!
The great thing about the novella I’m contributing to this set is that I’m getting to write for Geoffrey and Merryn de Montfort again. I never thought I would since I’ve finished the series (the last two books are with my editor now).
This will be just a few days in their lives as they spend their first Christmas together. It was very special to be able to revisit them again as they build a life of love as a couple.
What books will we see from you in coming months?
I’ll be finishing up my Knights of Honor series in 2018. Path to Honor, Nan de Montfort’s story, will be released in September, and Jessimond de Montfort will get her HEA in November’s Return to Honor.Where to buy Gift of Honor

Alexa Aston, 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.Gift of Honor (Knights of Honor Book 8)
Genre: medieval romance
Book heat level (based on movie ratings): PG-13
Two outcasts come together and find the gift of love…
1387 A.D. – As a royal guardsman to King Richard II, Sir Hal de Montfort places duty above all else. When a royal rebellion threatens the king’s power, Hal is caught up in a political game and winds up losing everything dear to him. Broken in spirit and stripped of all knightly possessions, he begins the long journey to Kinwick, his parents’ home.
Because Lady Elinor Swan wasn’t the expected male heir, her unforgiving father exiles her from Whitley after her mother dies in childbirth. Elinor is taken in by the estate’s falconer and spends years training to be a falconer herself. She rescues Hal when he is injured by highwaymen. As he heals physically and she teaches him about working with raptors, Hal regains his confidence and becomes a better man than the charming, lighthearted knight of the royal court he’d once been.
Will Elinor learn how to fit into a world she’s never been a part of—especially after she fears she will be blamed for the death of a noblewoman who bore her a grudge?
Join Hal and Elinor as they learn about each other and what counts most in life.

Why did you write this book?
This is part of my Knights of Honor series, and I’m giving all of Geoffrey and Merryn de Montfort’s children their own love stories. I enjoyed writing for Hal de Montfort when he was a toddler in Code of Honor and am delighted to write him as a mature knight who finds his soul mate in falconer Elinor Swan.
What is your favorite genre to read?
Hands down, it’s historical romance—but I also enjoy thrillers, mysteries, and suspense.
Who is your favorite character from fiction (not including your own)?
I will always adore Miss Elizabeth Bennet from Pride and Prejudice.
What are you working on at the moment?
I’ve been asked by Kathryn Le Veque and Eliza Knight to contribute a romance to their Pirates of Britannia, so I’m deep into writing about pirates at the moment! God of the Seas will come out in January 2019 as a part of the Pirates of Britannia World. It will serve as a prequel to a three-book medieval trilogy, The King’s Cousins.
What books will we see from you in coming months?
I’ll be finishing up my Knights of Honor series in 2018. Path to Honor, Nan de Montfort’s story, will be released in September, and Jessimond de Montfort will get her HEA in November’s Return to Honor.Where to buy Gift of Honor
