A marriage of convenience in Nice Enough the new #SmallTownRomance by Ella Braeme #RLFblog #ContemporaryRomance
Why not go for that marriage-of-convenience? This question is being answered in Nice Enough: How To Find A Husband In A Southern Small Town, the new open-door small-town novella by Ella Braeme.
Ella, welcome to Romance Lives Forever. I’m Kayelle Allen, author and owner of this blog. Happy to have you here! Please tell us about Nice Enough.
Nice Enough by Ella Braeme
Genre small-town romance
Book heat level (based on movie ratings): RShe thought it didn’t matter who she married. He begged to differ.
Her family never had a good standing in the small town Dawn lived in. When she finally had the chance to be seen, she had to get married quickly. No big deal, right? Nice enough and absolutely honest—those are Dawn’s only requirements for her spouse. So why not go for that marriage-of-convenience? Because after the nuptials she might find out, Joss is her Mr Right—and a liar, too. That’s why.
This novella has all the small-town feels, pesky neighbors and all. Whereas the love is sweet, the sizzle is hot, so 18+. No cliffhanger. No cheating. HEA guaranteed.
Why did you write this book?
This is my very first author interview, and its very first question is the one I hoped nobody would ever ask. I don’t know why I’ve written this particular book. The characters crept into my imagination and took roots there. Is that answer good enough?
I can tell you why I chose to write romance, though. There were times in my life that were very stressfull and romance was a welcome relief, a short time off the things that bothered me. Now I am in a position to give back. I hope that my book offers that mini-vacation to other readers out there.
What is your favorite genre to read?
I love romance. Over the years I have read so many sub-genres of it and settled mostly on contemporary small-town romance. That’s not to say I wouldn’t enjoy a suspense or paranormal romance every now and then.
Who is your favorite character from fiction (not including your own)?
I’m still miffed there were no entwives in LOTR.
What are you working on at the moment?
Nice Enough is my first book and publishing it was a steep learning curve. So right now, I am on a well-deserved break. My husband treats me to a full week at the shore, and I guess I might start a new book as soon as I’m back at home.
What books will we see from you in coming months?
This is such a loaded question. As a first-time author, I don’t dare predict what you are going to see. So many things might go wrong. But if I have things my way, two of the side characters in Nice Enough will get their own happily-ever-afters. Still not ready to talk about it, though.

Rescue workers discover aged skeletal remains in Becky Flade’s latest romantic suspense, Yesterday’s Over. Will Trudy and Ben survive their search for answers when someone alive today will kill to keep the secrets buried?
Becky, welcome to Romance Lives Forever. I’m Kayelle Allen, author and owner of this blog. Happy to have you here! Please tell us about Yesterday’s Over.
Yesterday’s Over by Becky Flade
Genre Romantic Suspense
Book heat level (based on movie ratings): PG-13
Following a massive explosion in South Philadelphia, rescue workers discover aged skeletal remains. Assistant Chief Medical Examiner Gertrude “Trudy” Beasley calls in forensic anthropologist Doctor Benjamin Roberts to assist. It doesn’t take them long to realize they’ve uncovered a former serial killer’s old burial ground. But someone alive today will kill to keep those secrets buried.
Why did you write this book?
In late 2019, a gas main explosion took out an entire city block in South Philly. I started thinking what if they found a serial killer’s burial ground UNDER the blast site. It went from there.
What is your favorite genre to read?
Romantic suspense/thrillers, which I guess is a good thing, since that’s what I write.
Who is your favorite character from fiction (not including your own)?
Eve Dallas, from J.D. Robb’s In Death series

Book 4 in my Philly Heat Series tentatively titled Dangerous, Beautiful. It’s about a Philadelphia public defender being stalked by a dangerous obsessive and protected by a Special Victims detective on the cusp of a professional breakdown.

When I was little, I thought everyone had stories in their head. I didn’t find out that wasn’t the case until kindergarten. I remember thinking that was sad; and that I should share the ones I had. I asked my teacher for help. I had her cut, fold and staple the paper into a suspiciously book-like shape. Then I drew the cover art and illustrated the interior pages. Finally, and most importantly, I dictated the text. And violà … a writer was born.
It took thirty years for me to get from that first attempt to published author. I think the road thus far has added some depth and experience to my writing. At the very least I learned I shouldn’t ever do my own illustrations.
A city girl, born and bred, I tend to place my stories in and around southeast Pennsylvania, or at least have a character or two from the area. Home is where the heart is and IÂ make mine with my two beautiful daughters and my two grandsons who make every day a blessing.
Making my own dreams come true, one happily ever after at a time.

The Perfect Snow Globe Christmas ~*lizzie starr
Is there such a thing as a perfect Christmas?Why did you write this book?
When a series is set if a small town, there are so many people, and so a wealth of story possibilities. Some stories need longer to tell while others are more suited to shorter tales. Cheryl, Bernadette, and *lizzie had short holiday stories to tell, so this collection was born.
What is your favorite genre to read?
Adding the reading habits of all three authors together, we come up with a list that covers a wide variety of genres. None of us have only one favorite. Reading faves depend on our moods, what we’re writing at the time, and just pure pleasure reading.
What are you working on at the moment?
Along with other projects (Bernadette and *lizzie have other pen names to manage, too) all three of us are working on our Next Aspen Gold books. There’s also rereleases of old favorites and new tales outside of Spencer in the works.

*lizzie always made up games and stories to keep her company. So, a cunning witch lived in Grampa’s weather research station and was only held at bay by waving a certain weed. An ancient road grader morphed into a boat carrying wild adventurers to islands filled with fierce lions and dangerous cannibals, which really looked a lot like sheep.
Now filled with fantasy, love, and romance with a sparkling twist, the stories of her imagination swirl their way into the mundane world.
*lizzie recently retired from her more routine life of being *the Lunch Lady* at a private school. According to the kids, she was ‘the best cooker!’ Yes, she misses the students and teachers, but is delighted now to start her days by telling stories rather than opening cases of chicken nuggets and counting milk cartons.
Her tagline of Author and lunch lady~~what a combination! no longer holds true (which makes her sad because she really liked that one).

A new Romantic Suspense – Arresting Benjamin by Amber Daulton @amberdaulton1 #RLFblog #ContemporaryRomance #RomanticSuspense
A one-night stand leads to an unplanned pregnancy in Amber Daulton’s sexy new romance, Arresting Benjamin. Belle only wants to play her music, but her unborn baby’s father offers her something more.
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): R
A 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.
Why did you write this book?
I introduced Benji and Belle back in book 1, Arresting Mason, since they were good friends with that book’s hero and heroine, and I was eager to give them a story of their own. At first, I wasn’t sure if I should pair them together, but that soon became clear as I got to know them better.
They finally meet for the first time off page a few months before their book officially begins. That encounter results in a smokin’ hot one-night stand and changes their lives forever.
I typically write on a schedule with several books planned out for the next couple of years, so I was super excited when it finally came time to write Arresting Benjamin. I’ve wanted to write a romance starring a female musician for a while, and Belle took care of that craving.
What is your favorite genre to read?
As a romance author, I’m going with the cliché answer: romance. I don’t care if it’s hot, clean, sci/fi, thriller, comedy, or contemporary, I love reading about two (or more!) people falling in love and dealing with the trouble that pops up along the way
Who is your favorite character from fiction (not including your own)?
Must I choose? There are so many good ones out there.
Lately, I’ve been re-watching the 1980s TV version of Sherlock Holmes, starring Jeremy Brett. Not only is Holmes a great literary and cultural figure, I think Brett was the perfect casting choice to play Holmes. He brings such life, pizzazz, and intelligence to the character beyond the already established literary base.
What are you working on at the moment?
Currently, I’m writing the first book in a new five-book paranormal/shifter romance series. I can’t say too much about it, but it meshes a few niche tropes that I hope readers will love.
What books will we see from you in coming months?
Trevor’s Redemption, book 3.5 in the Arresting Onyx series, will be released exclusively in the Dangerous Entanglements box set on December 6, 2022. Stay tuned. I’ll be sure to share it on RLF.
