    The Widower’s Christmas Wish by Cheryl Wright

    In her wildest dreams Charlotte Montgomery never thought she’d ever become a mail order bride.
    On discovering her parents have arranged for her to marry an elderly rich man who has already disposed of two wives, she has no option but to flee for her life.
    Sheriff Angus Doyle needs a mother for his daughter after his sister can no longer care for her. Desperation has him sending for a mail order bride.
    Is the undeniable attraction between the two of them, when they first meet, enough to overcome their secrets? He has a child he hasn’t mentioned, and she is a runaway?
    Author’s Promise: This is a heartwarming Christmas novella with a happily ever after ending and no cliffhangers. It is a clean and wholesome story with nothing more than hugs, kisses, and holding hands.

    Is It True: December Heat Wave by Joanie MacNeil @JoanieMacneil #RLFblog #ContemporaryRomance

    Is It True: December Heat Wave by Joanie MacNeil @JoanieMacneil #RLFblog #ContemporaryRomanceWelcome to Romance Lives Forever. I’m Kayelle Allen, author and owner of this blog. Let’s play Is It True with today’s guest, Joanie MacNeil author of December Heat Wave, a contemporary romance. This is a game with yes and no questions. Writers can elaborate on answers as much as they choose.

    December Heat Wave by Joanie MacNeil

    Genre: Contemporary Romance
    Book heat level (based on movie ratings): R
    Following the death of her husband, Nicolette Oliver concentrates on re-establishing her career as a dancer, though still dealing with emotional issues relating to her life with Mark. When his friend appears on her doorstep, Nicolette honors her late husband’s invitation and invites Jake to stay.
    Jake Harrigan has always been attracted to Nic and sees her as untouchable, even though she is now on her own. They are opposites, their lives and expectations literally worlds apart. Drawn into a romantic interlude, the parting is difficult when Jake returns to Europe to resume his career as TV news journalist and Nic moves to Sydney to begin rehearsals for the show that will resurrect her career.
    Jake returns to Australia to see Nic again and also to finalize details with his network to sail around the world making documentaries. Will Jake follow his heart and ask Nic to give up all that she’s worked for and sail away with him?

    Is it true:

    this is your first book?
    No, though I wrote this book early in my career.
    this book is part of a series?
    No.
    you lost sleep while writing this book?
    Yes, probably. I tend to lose sleep whenever I’m writing a book.
    you did research for this book?
    Some. I’d briefly visited the area where I set the story, though had to do a little more research for the setting.
    My hero’s career as a photo journalist was inspired by watching TV news and articles I’d read.
    My heroine was inspired by a dance performance I watched. I just had to write my heroine as a dancer resurrecting her career following a personal tragedy. I also based the visuals for the lead male dancer on one I’d seen in the show. Fantastic performances and I wish I still had the DVD.
    some characters in this book are not human? (pets for example)
    All characters are human. No pets.
    this book has more than one genre?
    Strictly contemporary romance
    you speak more than one language?
    I did learn German so long ago that I’ve forgotten most of it, and I was never a fluent speaker of the language
    you grew up where you live now?
    At seventeen, I left home to live in Brisbane which was over an hour away by train in those days. Living in the city meant I could walk to work in ten minutes, so much easier than the two hour plus train travel, and waiting to catch a bus home from the station, especially on cold winter nights.Then at twenty, I moved interstate and have lived in the same city since then, except for about five years where I lived in a little country town. A new experience, but again, a considerable commute each day, this time by car. I thought it ironic that I began my working career with a long daily bus and train journey and ended that career with at least two hour drive each day, and the same early mornings. Exhausting.
    you love to read?
    Yes. As well as romance I love to read Icelandic Noir. I’m a fan of Ragnar Jónasson’s novels.
    you are never late?
    I endeavour not to be late. I dislike being late when people are depending on me to keep an appointment on time, and vice versa.
    you love pizza?
    Yes, but it doesn’t like me. I have an intolerance to all grains so pizza is a no-no for me.
    you love sushi?
    I have tasted sushi in the past, some nice, some not so good. Now it is a no-no for me because of the rice. I was never a big fan of sushi anyway.
    you have a pet?
    No. With one Veteran husband, three adult children and their partners, one adult stepson, and four young grandsons, who needs pets?

Let’s play Is It True with today’s guest, Maria K Alexander, author of Believe in My Heart, a Contemporary Romance novella. This is a game with yes and no questions. Writers can elaborate on answers as much as they choose.

    Believe in My Heart by Maria K Alexander

    Genre Contemporary Romance
    Book heat level (based on movie ratings): PG-13
    Culinary arts student, Hope Mastriano, is down on her luck. Homeless on Thanksgiving Day, she’s caught trying to break into her cousin’s apartment by her sexy boss and lifelong secret crush.
    Since getting dumped seven months ago, head chef Vinnie DiFrancesco has been in a frustrating holding pattern. He returns relaxed from a retreat, but his life is sent into a tailspin when he offers Hope, the event coordinator at his family’s trattoria, temporary housing.
    With the trattoria’s traditional Italian Christmas Eve charity dinner slated to be featured on a local TV segment and things heating up in his apartment, the two must set aside their different visions to make the event a success. When a computer glitch threatens their plans, Hope proposes a risky solution. Vinnie must believe in Hope and his heart in order to secure the future of the restaurant and make it a Christmas to remember.

    Is it true:

    this is your first book?
    No, it’s my fourth published book.
    this book is part of a series?
    Yes, Believe in My Heart is the last book of my Tangled Hearts series.
    you lost sleep while writing this book?
    I didn’t lose sleep but the best and most productive time for me to write is early in the morning when the house is quiet and my mind is fresh.
    you did research for this book?
    Yes. My heroine is a culinary arts student so I researched schools and different majors. I also did research on yoga poses for a scene with Vicky and Vinnie where she catches him doing yoga. It’s a funny scene where they both end up tangled on the floor together.
    some characters in this book are not human? (pets for example)
    Hope has a white cate named Lucky. Even though Vinnie doesn’t like cats, Lucky takes an immediate liking to him.
    this book has more than one genre?
    It’s a Contemporary Romance with a touch of romantic comedy.
    you speak more than one language?
    No, but I do understand a very small bit of Italian, most of which I picked up while listening to my mom, aunt, and grandmom talking about me and my cousins.
    you grew up where you live now?
    I live in the same state where I grew up, but not the same town.
    you love to read?
    Absolutely! My love for reading is what made me want to be an author.
    you are never late?
    I try to be right on time but unfortunately that doesn’t always happen.
    you love pizza?
    Yes! I could eat it every day and used to when I worked as a co-op student in Philly while in college.
    you love sushi?
    No.
    you have a pet?
    No pets, much to my children’s complaints.

    Time for the Doctor: A Copper Mills Novella by Linda O'Connor @LindaOConnor98 #RLFblog #NewRelease #RomcomLinda O’Connor, 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.

    Time for the Doctor: A Copper Mills Novella by Linda O’Connor

    Genre Romantic Comedy
    Book heat level (based on movie ratings): PG-13
    Come visit Copper Mills, Arizona – a small town with a heart as big as the wide-open spaces and a history of making dreams come true.
    Dr. Tash Bannon, the only internist at Copper Mills General Hospital, is a workaholic. After a couple of patient complaints, the board of directors realizes Tash needs a break and “suggests” he take a three-month vacation.
    Dr. Melissa Sinclair is a single mom, and her adopted son comes first in her life. She’s used to the hustle of a big city hospital but takes the job to cover for Tash hoping to expose her son to his Hopi ancestry during their time in Copper Mills.
    Tash resents having to take time off – and has an even harder time staying away now that Melissa is around. Now he just has to decide which is more important: his job or Melissa?
    Make time for the doctor…especially if she’s the love of your life.
    Why did you write this book?
    I teamed up with a group of ten authors to write brand-new, stand-alone romances all set in the same small-town of Copper Mills, Arizona. I was thrilled to be invited to write a story about one of the town’s doctors. I’m a physician, and I love writing medical romances. My goal is to weave the best parts of medicine into romance. I thought it was such a cool idea to share a world with other authors – and revisit characters from their stories. I think it’s the best part of writing a series! I live in Canada and all my other romances take place in small Ontario towns. I wouldn’t have thought to set a story in sunny hot Arizona, but it was fun to change it up.
    What is your favorite genre to read?
    I read to escape so my favorite books are romances with love and laughter and a happily-ever-after ending (of course!). I also pick up cozy mysteries, humorous stories like The Best Laid Plans by Terry Falls, or biographies/real-life experiences like Ruth Reichl’s Garlic and Sapphires. Next, I’d like to read Michelle Obama’s Becoming.
    Who is your favorite character from fiction (not including your own)?
    I think my favorite character is Alan MacGregor from Nora Roberts’ MacGregor family stories or maybe Roarke from her In Death series. Strong men who fall head-over-heels in love – how can you not love that?
    What are you working on at the moment?
    At the moment I’m busy marketing and promoting Time for the Doctor and the other two series I’ve written, In the Game Hockey Romance and the Perfectly Series,
    What books will we see from you in coming months?
    When things settle down, I’m plotting another romantic comedy series with a match-making doctor. I have ideas swirling in my head and can’t wait to get started.

    Christmas Vows by Livia Quinn

    Genre Military Romance
    Book heat level (based on movie ratings): PG-13
    Love isn’t the only thing that happens when you least expect it.
    Delilah and Luc and Samantha and Jed are looking forward to their special day, a double Christmas wedding at the Calloway Farm with their friends and family in attendance. And Beau and Maddie are expecting their baby. Great news, right? But after the women go missing with a storm approaching, and a desperate soldier threatens everyone, the men in their lives scramble to make sure Maddie’s delivery and the wedding come off as planned.
    More than a Christmas novel. Stuff just happens in Rainbow Bayou at Christmas time (hint: weddings, births, kidnappings, and second chance reunions. . .) A continuing theme of overcoming whatever challenges life throws in your path.
    Why did you write this book?
    In the timeline of the series, the next event, a double wedding, just happened to fall during December and the Calloways’ Christmas reunion. Each of the books in the series features a veterans issue, and I decided to use a recently returned soldier to complicate the plans for the wedding and Maddie’s delivery. It was great fun to bring in everyone from the community to help out and deliver a couple of Christmas miracles.
    What is your favorite genre to read?
    I read everything and write both contemporary and paranormal. For total escape I read historical romance and thrillers since I don’t write them.
    Who is your favorite character from fiction (not including your own)?
    My latest favorite is Matthew de Clairmont from the All Souls Trilogy. OMG, you can’t imagine how hunky and smart and powerful and well. . .look him up in Discovery of Witches, book 1.
    What are you working on at the moment?
    I’m just finishing up book 8 in the Calloways and will start on book 7 of the Destiny books next.
    What books will we see from you in coming months?
    When Love Finds You, book 8 revolves around one of the Calloway cousins, Sky O’Rourke, a former model who owns an air cargo business in Rainbow Bayou.

    Livia Quinn Social Media

    Livia moved from D.C. to Louisiana where the weather and culture of the region inspired her writing, including her storm faerie, Tempest, and her contemporary romance series, The Calloways of Rainbow Bayou. She’s stored up fodder from her jobs as mail lady, salesperson, plant manager, business owner and professional singer to share with readers. Think of her as her characters’ biographer! On the bayou, she is protected from the alligators and bears by her husband and feisty Pomeranian, Dusty.
