    Is It True: A Dose of Danger by Kim McMahill @kimmcmahill #RLFblog #RomanticSuspense

    Welcome to Romance Lives Forever. I’m Kayelle Allen, author and owner of this blog. Let’s play Is It True with today’s guest, Kim McMahill, author of A Dose of Danger, a romantic suspense. This is a game with yes and no questions. Writers can elaborate on answers as much as they choose.

    A Dose of Danger by Kim McMahill

    Genre Romantic Suspense
    Book heat level (based on movie ratings): PG
    When researcher Grace Talbot and her team discover a possible solution for weight loss they are targeted by a group dedicated to controlling a diet product industry worth billions. Her unsanctioned testing methods bring tragedy to the family ranch and the attention of the local sheriff’s deputy. With her colleagues either dead, missing, or on the run she soon realizes she must trust the deputy with her life, but can she trust him with her heart?

    Is it true:

    this is your first book?
    No, A Dose of Danger is my eighth romantic adventure/suspense novel
    this book is part of a series?
    Yes, A Dose of Danger is the first novel in the Risky Research Series, A Taste of Tragedy is the second, and the third, A Foundation of Fear, will release sometime this summer.
    you lost sleep while writing this book?
    Yes, waking up in the middle of the night with the perfect next scene is not that uncommon for me.
    you did research for this book?
    Yes, I had to learn a lot about diet drugs, nutrition research, the FDA, and the anatomy of pigs.
    some characters in this book are not human? (pets for example)
    Yes, most of the book is set on a ranch, so there are a lot of animals involved. A couple loyal dogs and a pig play significant roles.
    this book has more than one genre?
    Yes, the book has suspense, action, romance, and could also fall in the crime fiction genre
    you speak more than one language?
    No, but I wish I could. I took German in High School and Spanish in college and the extent of my vocabulary is to inform those speakers that I don’t speak their language.
    you grew up where you live now?
    No, I currently live in Colorado, but grew up north of the border in Wyoming.
    you love to read?
    Absolutely. I have an eclectic reading list including non-fiction and fiction, but my first love is action, adventure, and just a dash of romance.
    you are never late?
    No, at least not very often.
    you love pizza?
    Yes, my favorite is pepperoni and green chili and the thinner the crust the better. I even make my own in the summer when I have fresh tomatoes for my homemade sauce, but I have figured out how to get the crust as thin as I’d like.
    you love sushi?
    Yes, but I prefer the non-raw varieties.
    you have a pet?
    No, I probably will get another dog one day, but I’m still grieving the passing of my pup of fifteen years.

He left her four month’s earlier, and now he’s asked her to clear all of his possessions out of their home and do with them what she wants. As she boxes everything for Good Will she comes across her old diaries. In them she finds her entry of the pact she made with Robert, Bobby, Graham to meet in Twenty-five years. That date is in two weeks. Would he be there?
    Rob Graham has loved Rissa for as long as he remembered. When they’d been in high school she’d only thought of him as a buddy, the brother she never had. Would she remember their pact? If she did, would she be there?

    Love and Honor

    Genre: medieval historical romance
    Book heat level (based on movie ratings): PG-13
    1385 A.D. – Knighted on the battlefield for extreme bravery, Edward de Montfort accepts an invitation to serve in King Richard’s guard at the royal court. When the king sends him on a covert mission to Canterbury, Edward hopes success will allow him to win his freedom so he can return home to a quieter life.
    Lady Rosalyne Parry loses her parents when she is an infant and is raised by her uncle, an artist of some renown. Due to his failing health, Rosalyne takes over Templeton Parry’s commissions, painting in secret while permitting him to receive the credit since she believes no one would accept a woman as an artist.
    Rosalyne meets Edward while he is disguised as a peasant working on Canterbury’s wall, and they fall deeply in love. When Edward reveals his true identity to Rosalyne, he convinces her to come to London—and step out from the shadows in order to become recognized as an artist in her own right.

    Olivia Night Social Media

    Olivia Night, a fictional character herself, has always been an avid reader and writer. She found the romance genre in college and has never been able to get enough. One sleepless night, the main characters of Book One in her Men of FTI series sprang from her head fully formed. They demanded she tell their story; so she did. As they revealed themselves, so did two other intriguing characters. Those characters convinced her to give them their own books because their stories were worth telling too. And so Olivia suddenly became a romance author. When Olivia is not writing, she has the best job in the world, which, too, will remain a secret. In her free time, she reads, write, drinks wine, or is, most likely, out emulating Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Olivia lives in one of the most diverse and vibrant cities in the U.S.—Baltimore. She lives with her cat, which she is convinced was a gladiator in his past life. Olivia plans to continue being awesome at this thing called life. Really, that’s her only goal.

    Perdition House (# 1 An Erotic Saga) by Bonnie Edwards

    Welcome to Perdition House: a house of sin, secrets, and seduction.
    Some ghost stories are erotic…
    Faye Grantham inherits Perdition House, a former bordello, and expects to sell the property but the spirits who “live” there have other ideas. As the spirits tell their stories one by one, Faye is embroiled in a life-changing situation that has her questioning everything she believes. Should she stay with her fiancé or move on to one of the men the spirits have thrown into her life?
    Liam Watson wears comfort like most men wear cologne. With an interest in adventurous sex, he’s more man than he first seems.
    Mark McLeod is a strong, decisive businessman who was not meant to be more than a hot one-night stand. But Mark is in no hurry to end their liaison, and hopes to continue Faye’s lessons in sensuality.
    As the spirits reveal themselves, Faye learns their stories: how they came to Perdition House, why they joined the women there and some of the secrets that only a high-class bordello could hold.
    But can decades-old secrets affect Faye’s life today?

    Rebecca Westin is shocked to learn the grandfather she never knew has left her a bona fide buried treasure – but only if she can decipher a complex series of clues leading to it. The hunt would be challenging enough without interference from her half-siblings, who are determined to find the treasure first and keep it for themselves. Good thing Rebecca has recruited some help.
    Sam is determined to show Rebecca that a desert adventure can be sexy and fun. But there’s a treacherous wildcard in the mix, a man willing to do anything to get that treasure – and revenge.
    Action and romance combine in this lively Southwestern adventure, complete with riddles the reader is invited to solve to identify historical and cultural sites around New Mexico.
    “The Dead Man’s Treasure is fast-paced and a perfect read for the weekend. I highly recommend this one.”

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

    Stealing the Billionaire's Heart by Robin Michaela @robinsromances #RLFblog #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 by Robin Michaela

    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.
    What’s your favorite down-home family style meal?
    Homemade lasagna with a fresh salad and a side of warm, crusty bread fresh from the oven. Plus a slice of chocolate cake. In my opinion, no meal is complete without some kind of chocolate.
    What is your go-to meal when you dine out?
    I love almost any type Mexican food. It’s even better with a grande margarita and a side of chips and salsa (…and chocolate). Yum!
    When you read for pleasure, what kind of books do you choose?
    I almost always read romances. I enjoy all forms of it, so I’m happy reading contemporary, paranormal, Viking, Highlander, whatever. If it’s not too dark and depressing, I’ll read it!
    What kinds of things do you read when you’re researching a new book?
    I want my settings and characters to grab my readers so I research everything unless I have firsthand knowledge of it. For example, in Stealing the Billionaire’s Heart, I’d been to Venice so I could write about the setting with no problem. But Nicolas is a billionaire so he’s going to be surrounded by the things that wealth can buy. When I was creating the setting of his grandmother, Claudia’s, apartment in a Venetian palace, I figured she’d probably have collected some artworks by famous painters. I did some research and found that some miniature portraits can be worth a LOT of money…which inspired the idea that his prior girlfriend had stolen a miniature. So when Lyra ends up with his grandmother’s earrings, he’s going to think she’s a thief, too.
    If the hero of your latest book called you on the phone, what would be a perfect ringtone for him?
    I think Nicolas’ ringtone would definitely be For the Love of Money by the O’Jays…”money, money, MONEY!”.

    Robin Michaela has been reading romances since her teen years, when she first snuck her aunt’s copy of The Flame and the Flower, by Kathleen Woodiwiss.

    She’s married to her own Handsome Prince (a military airman) and has lived everywhere from the sunny shores of Florida to the wild crags of the Colorado Rocky Mountains. She currently resides in the Deep South. By day, she’s a dental hygienist and by night, Robin can be found eating chocolate, training for her next half marathon, and crafting her next novel (although not necessarily in that order).

    Robin’s stories have been called “a simply delicious escape”. Sparks fly and desire sizzles when her irresistible heroines challenge the men of their dreams.
