    Kiss Me, Bite Me by Sayara St Clair @SayaraStClair #RLFblog #ParanormalRomance #vampire

    Sayara St Clair, 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.

    Kiss Me, Bite Me by Sayara St Clair

    Genre: Paranormal Romance, Contemporary Romance.
    Book heat level (based on movie ratings): R
    I’d learned early on in life not to show weakness. Like messy emotions. Shedding tears in front of my family had a similar outcome to busting out of a shark cage wearing blood cologne.
    The world hasn’t treated Kayana Castello Branco particularly kindly. So it’s no surprise to her when she literally bumps into her soul mate, only to find he’s already taken. He’s gorgeous, strong, smart, kind—every woman’s ideal guy. Of course he’s unavailable for soul-matey business.
    When fate shows pity, putting Greg Morgan in her path a second time, the resulting collision is colossal. Their connection is epic, the stuff of romantic legends, fairy tales, sonnets. They’re like Romeo and Juliet (only, the R-rated version).
    But something has happened to Greg. Now, every time he gets near Ana, he gets long and hard…and pointy in the fang area. He doesn’t know whether he wants to kiss her, lick her, do-that-thing-that-rhymes-with-duck her. Or bite and deprive her of every last molecule of haemoglobin.
    Loving a newbie vampire with control issues really and truly sucks.
    Why did you write this book?
    Although this is the fourth book I’ve published, it’s actually the first one I ever wrote. I’ve been an avid paranormal romance reader for a long time and I may have a slight vampire obsession. I mean, it’s so slight it’s barely worth mentioning. *Stares* *Waits* *Squirms* Okay, okay, I’ll admit it—I am TOTALLY obsessed with vamps! So it was inevitable that my first book would be a vampire paranormal romance.
    What is your favorite genre to read?
    Romance. All sorts of romance, eg erotic, paranormal, historical and romantic suspense. I am an unashamed incurable romantic.
    Who is your favorite character from fiction (not including your own)?
    There are so many characters I’ve admired over the years, that it’s hard to narrow it down to just one. My character of the moment, though, is Daniel Beckett, from a series of books by Dominic Piper. Beckett is worlds apart from the usual romantic hero I fall head over heels for. However, he is mysterious and intriguing. And it is absolutely imperative that I find out more about him.
    What are you working on at the moment?
    I’m working on the second book in the Blood Kissed Series.
    What books will we see from you in coming months?
    The book mentioned above will released next. Kayana, Greg and their friends will be involved in some extremely complicated and hair-raising situations. Expect much mayhem in the future from me.

    If someone told a young Sayara St Clair that one day she would be an erotic/paranormal-romance-writing Aussie expat living in Thailand, she would have snort-laughed and yelled, “You. Be. Crazy!”
    If someone told her the same thing now, she would not yell, only nod solemnly. Because that actually happened.
    Sayara has a science degree, with majors in both microbiology and biochemistry. Working in the fields of serology and tissue banking, she got to do lots of cool and sometimes slightly weird stuff. She was employed as the manager/buyer for furniture retail stores, where she had a chance to unleash her inner interior decorator. (Interior design is one of her great passions.) And for a time, she taught English to students in Asia. (Hanging about in a roomful of extremely loud, pint-sized humans is not one of her great passions.) She has written: ads for TV, print and radio; real estate brochures; website copy; and a screenplay. Now she’s writing fiction and has discovered it’s her favorite thing to do. She’s also learned that writing sultry romances is so much more fun than writing dry old scientific journal articles. No one has sex in scientific journal articles. Not the ones she wrote anyway.
    When not writing, she may be most commonly found in a horizontal position reading, in the kitchen baking, in the garden planting, or somewhere else singing at the top of her lungs. She loves music and is prone to spontaneous bouts of dancing.
    With regards to vampires and chocolate: she bites one on a daily basis and has had a lifelong obsession with the other. And she’s not telling which one’s which.

    Arresting Mason by Amber Daulton @amberdaulton1 #RLFblog #NewRelease #RomanticSuspense

    Arresting Mason by Amber Daulton @amberdaulton1 #RLFblog #NewRelease #RomanticSuspenseAmber Daulton, 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.

    Arresting Mason by Amber Daulton

    Genre: Romantic Suspense
    Book heat level (based on movie ratings): R
    Once you’re in a prison gang, you’re in it for life. That’s what Mason Harding thought until the boss accepted his resignation. After the State releases him on parole, a sexy divorcée behind the wheel of a car almost ends his life quicker than a shank. His chance encounter with Mia Eddison results in a night of passion, but her brother—his parole officer—catches them together and doesn’t approve.
    Mia falls hard for the cocky ex-con, but not because of his chiseled body. She vows to break through his walls and discover his secrets, but never expects those secrets to threaten her life.
    When members of an organized crime ring kidnap Mia to force Mason’s return to the gang, he goes up against an old friend to save the woman he loves. Will his sacrifice be enough or will everything fall apart in a blaze of gunfire?
    Why did you write this book?
    I originally wrote this book for a bad boy anthology call, but by the time I was done, I had exceeded the max word count and still wanted to add more scenes. So I forgot all about the anthology and kept revising this story until I was finally happy with it. It’s now book one in the Arresting Onyx series.
    For how I came up with the plot, I must thank my subconscious since I dreamed about it. For days after, I kept thinking about the hero, the heroine, and her brother, and the characters wouldn’t leave me in peace until I wrote out a rough plotline. Though I changed quite a bit as I put the dream down on paper (or rather computer), the main premise remained the same.
    What is your favorite genre to read?
    I love to read almost every type of romance book, but my favorite sub-genre is tied between romantic suspense and paranormal, with historical at a close second. Outside of romance, I enjoy non-fiction history books and textbooks, preferably when the subject is about Greece or the Roman Empire.
    Who is your favorite character from fiction (not including your own)?
    I’m a big fan of Sherrilyn Kenyon’s Dark Hunter series, and I absolutely love Acheron. He’s my all-time favorite book character.
    What are you working on at the moment?
    I’m currently editing the second book in the Arresting Onyx series (it should be out next year – hopefully!), and then I’ll move on the other books in the series.
    What books will we see from you in coming months?
    Arresting Mason is the only book I have coming out for a while, but I have several books in my backlist that I’m always promoting. Who knows. Maybe I’ll run across another anthology call and actually keep to the word count this time!

    Writing is the fruit of happiness.
    Amber Daulton lives her life by that one belief even though she normally isn’t so Zen.
    As a fan of contemporary, paranormal, and historical romance novels alike, she can’t get enough of feisty heroines and alpha heroes. Her mind is a wonderland of adventure, laughter, and awesome ways of kicking a guy when he’s down. She probably wouldn’t be too sane without her computer and notebooks. After all, what’s a girl to do when people are jabbering away in her head and it’s hard to shut them up? Write! Nothing else works.

In learning about her past and mission, Aingeal realizes the best is yet to be and she will do anything to protect those she loves. For Lukas, Aingeal is the mission.

    Stealing the Billionaire’s Heart by Robin Michaela @robinsromances #RLFblog #NewRelease #billionaireromance

    Stealing the Billionaire’s Heart by Robin Michaela @robinsromances #RLFblog #NewRelease #billionaireromanceRobin Michaela, 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.

    Stealing the Billionaire’s Heart

    Genre Contemporary
    Book heat level (based on movie ratings): R
    Lyra Bretton is stunned when she’s abandoned at the altar. Figuring the best way to get over one man is to get under another one, she combs the luxurious Las Vegas resort where she was to be married, intent on spending her almost-wedding night with the sexiest man she can find.
    Billionaire womanizer, Nicolas Sebastian, is tempted by the beautiful bride’s shocking proposal. The workaholic COO of the family hotel chain can’t deny his attraction to the woman who should be weeping in her room instead of shredding her wedding gown in his lounge. Their chemistry is explosive, but Nicolas has been burned before. He’ll never commit his heart because he learned years ago that women are only interested in his wallet.
    Their Vegas fling soon turns into something neither of them can control. But, when they travel to his lavish property in Italy, money goes missing and expensive jewelry turns up in Lyra’s possession, putting their fragile future in jeopardy. Unless they can find a way to trust again, they risk losing each other forever.
    Why did you write this book?
    My other books are about every day, small town characters. I thought it would be fun to write something that put a “regular” woman into the world of untold wealth. How would you react if you suddenly didn’t have to worry about money? Would you stay the same or turn into a money-grabber?
    What is your favorite genre to read?
    I primarily read romance, but I enjoy all types of it. Time-travel, historical, sweet, Viking, Highlanders, erotic, billionaire – they’re all good!
    Who is your favorite character from fiction (not including your own)?
    I really enjoyed the character of Mark Watney from The Martian. He had a great sense of humor that got him through the worst time I can imagine – being stranded alone on an inhospitable planet that’s basically trying to kill you.
    What are you working on at the moment?
    I’m working on the prequel to Stealing the Billionaire’s Heart, which focuses on Nicolas’ parents and their lives as they were just beginning to accumulate their wealth. It will show him and his siblings as children.
    What books will we see from you in coming months?
    In addition to the prequel I just mentioned, I’m working on Nicolas’ sibling’s stories, plus I’ve partially written another romance about a country music star and the small town girl he’s been in love with since he was a teen. I was just diagnosed with early stage breast cancer last week, though, so these books might get pushed back a little while I undergo treatment. I’ve been told that chemo brain is real, so I don’t expect to be able to write for a while, although I’m staying optimistic!

    Cyborg Vyken Dark is back on Earth after fighting for eighty years in the Procyon War against the Mesaarkans. He came to help restore order out of chaos in old Chicago USA. Every major city on Earth is in ruins. Most are now run by gangs of thugs ruled by overlords who take everything of value and prey on those who are just trying to survive. Vyken and his four brother cyborgs are all that’s left of their starship crew of three hundred.
    He didn’t want the job, but when his old mentor Admiral Carson Gregor asked, Vyken Dark could not refuse. If he could have chosen a man to call father, it would have been Carson Gregor.
    Vyken chose the name Dark because the darkness in his soul drove him to kill the enemies of the Federation with a ruthlessness that few natural humans possessed. Sometimes that darkness overwhelmed his humanity and made him weary of his life… Until he came back to Earth and found her.

    I wanted to write a science fiction romance.

    Made for Me by Pamela Schloesser Canepa @PamSCanepa1 #RLFblog #scifi #romancePamela Schloesser Canepa, 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.

    Made for Me by Pamela Schloesser Canepa

    Genre: Sci-fi Romance
    Book heat level (based on movie ratings): PG13
    What will the search for love be like in the future? The year is 2032, and Abrielle is looking for true love. In a world ruled by technology, where computers make much of our decisions for us, Abrielle is about to meet the man of her dreams, thanks to a guaranteed matchmaker website. What she encounters on that first date will be a tale to rival any first date story you’ve ever heard.
    Sampson is also looking for love. Open-minded, spontaneous, and financially stable, he seems to be the perfect man. Yet, underneath it all, he harbors a glaring secret. Sampson has spent his lifetime passing for something that he is not, yet his love surpasses that of any human Abrielle has known. Though they seem to be a match made in heaven, Abrielle and Sampson are breaking many rules and will certainly face some unique challenges. In order to live a life with him, Abrielle must decide which rules are actually worth breaking, and in the process, learn a lot about herself.
    What is your go-to meal when you dine out?
    I have a few go-tos, but my favorite meal that is actually also healthy would be Thai food, more specifically, Ginger stir-fry with chicken.
    Who is your “book boyfriend” (that hottie you read about and drool over)?
    I’ve really enjoyed fantasizing about Jame Frasier, but I think I drooled relentlessly over Tobias in the Divergent series, such a troubled, strong, yet caring individual. Seeing his character played by Theo James did not help matters at all.
    What are your hobbies?
    My hobbies include enjoying time with my dog at the dog park or walking the neighborhood, reading, writing, yoga, some volunteer work, and watching movies, whether on Netflix or in a theater.
    When you read for pleasure, what kind of books do you choose?
    I go through phases. I read a little bit of everything, though I love Science fiction. I read the five book trilogy of A Hitchhikers Guide to the Universe, made my way through the first few Outlander books, and I will grab whatever new Stephen book looks interesting, recently, his book 11-22-63, which was amazing! Sometimes I’ll go for the recommended books on my Kindle, and have found wonderful books there that none of my friends have ever heard of. Gerald Hansen’s Irish Lottery series is one example, which is very irreverently humorous. The Kiterunner was another, more serious read. My tastes do vary.
    If the hero of your latest book called you on the phone, what would be a perfect ringtone for him?
    Since my latest book involves time travel, the ringtone for Milt, the sexy, sweet, yet awkward scientist, would be the theme song to the movie “Weird Science.” It’s also a good old 80’s song.
