Read the paranormal romance series: Hunted by the Past by Jami Gray @JamiGrayAuthor #RLFblog #PNR
A reluctant psychic must turn to the man who walked away to escape a killer bent on revenge in Jami Gray’s paranormal romance, Hunted by the Past.Jami, 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 series.
Hunted by the Past in the PSY-IV Teams
Genre Paranormal Romantic Suspense
Book heat level (based on movie ratings): R
She’s a reluctant psychic. He’s the man who walked away. Can they see beyond their painful past to survive a sadistic killer’s lethal game of revenge?
No matter how far she runs, she can’t escape… Changing the past is an impossibility ex-Marine, Cynthia “Cyn” Arden, understands all too well.
Struggling in the aftermath of a botched mission, which cost her two teammates, her military career, and a fledgling relationship, her world’s upended once more by a panicked phone call. The psychic killer behind her nightmares has escaped military custody and is hunting down her remaining teammates, one by one.
Up next on his murderous list—Cyn. Unless she finds a way to trust the one who walked away… The killer’s game brings her face to face with the one person guaranteed to throw her off kilter—the unsettling and distracting man she left behind, Kayden Shaw.
Once she believed he’d stand by her side, then he chose his job and secrets over her, leaving her heart scarred by their tumultuous past. Can Cyn overcome her past to trust the man she loves and master the psychic ability she spent years denying before it’s too late?
If you like heart-pounding, paranormal romance, don’t miss Hunted By The Past, an action-packed introduction to Jami Gray’s psychic romantic suspense series, PSY-IV Teams.
Which book is this in the series?
Hunted by the Past is the first in a five book on-going paranormal romance series, PSY-IV Teams.
How many books do you plan for the series?
Currently, I’ve got a total of seven, but there may be spin-offs.
How many books are completed?
Five
What characters are the main stars in your series?
Each book focuses on a different couple facing their own unique challenges and missions. These first seven books focus on the PSY-IV (think cipher) Team members: Cyn, Kayden, Tag, Wolf, Bishop, Jinx, Rabbit, and eventually Ricochet and Doc.
What is the overall theme in this series?
Think of PSY-IV Teams as cross between NCIS and X-Men. It’s a team of unique ex-military operatives with psychic abilities who used their unusual skills to complete their missions.
Please list the series titles below, in any order you prefer.
Hunted by the Past is the initial introduction to the team with Cyn and Kayden’s story.
Then it’s all about Tag and Risia’s journey from frenemies to lovers in Touched by Fate.
Once you survive that mission, it’s on to Wolf’s protection detail for Melly, and then onto the unforgettable adventures of Bishop and Megan. Then, the fifth tale is the long-awaited team up of Jinx and Rabbit.
What did you like best about writing this series?
Getting a chance to concentrate on each different couple is a blast. Not only is there a bunch of creative “what-if’s” to explore with their various psychic abilities, some of my research requires searches that I know for a fact have landed my name on a watch list somewhere. This series has taken unexpected turns because, while I think I know where the character is going to go, they get off on turning my expectations, and their lives, on end with no warning.
What other books (not in this series, have you written?)
I have three other series out – a 4 book, completed Post-Apocalyptic Romance series called Fate’s Vultures, that starts with Lying in Ruins. Think end of the world cowboys meets sexy MC. Available at all retailers.
A completed 3 book Urban Fantasy series called Arcane Transporter that follows Rory Costas through the magical mayhem that arises when powerful Mystics rule like mob families, and it all starts with Grave Cargo. Currently available in Kindle Unlimited, but will be moving to all retailers in Summer 2022.
Then I have my five book ongoing Urban Fantasy / Paranormal Romance series, the Kyn Kronicles that kicks off with Shadow’s Edge. The sixth and final book in this Supernatural meets Underworld series, Shadow’s Fall, will be out in July 2022. It, too, is currently available in Kindle Unlimited, but plans are to move the entire series to all retailers in late 2022.

Read the series: Shadow’s Edge by Jami Gray @JamiGrayAuthor #RLFblog #UF
After a lifetime hunting monsters, can Raine stop her prey from exposing the supernatural community one bloody corpse at a time? Find out in this suspense-filled, urban fantasy series first from Jami Gray.Jami, 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 series.
Shadow’s Edge in the Kyn Kronicles
Genre Urban Fantasy / Paranormal Romance
Book heat level (based on movie ratings): R
Raine’s spent a lifetime hunting monsters, but can she stop her prey from exposing the supernatural community one bloody corpse at a time?
Everyone fears the hunter in the shadows – even the monsters…
Raine McCord, forged in the brutal maelstrom of magic and science, is an elite hunter at home hunting monsters through the murky shadows of the supernatural world of the Kyn. Not an easy task when you’re trying to keep the humans ignorant of the existence of creatures typically confined to campfire tales. And gets worse when a series of disappearances and deaths in the Kyn community suggests someone wants to rip the thin veil of secrecy aside and expose the horror lurking behind the curtain.
To even the odds, Raine is forced to partner with another hunter, the sexy and tantalizing Witch-Fey, Gavin Durand. Their partnership proves to be as challenging and dangerous as the prey they hunt. Especially when the trail leads back to the foundation that warped Raine’s magic as a child and threatens to resurrect the nightmares of her past.
Determine to stop the threat to the Kyn, Raine and Gavin stalk their prey through a maze of lies, murder, and greed, but will the price they pay be too high?
If you like fast-paced, suspense-filled, dark urban fantasy with a thrilling edge, then grab your copy of Jami Gray’s riveting Shadow’s Edge, the first in her Kyn Kronicles series.
Which book is this in the series?
This it the first book in the Kyn Kronicles where you get to know Raine McCord and Gavin Durand.
How many books do you plan for the series?
There are six books in the initial arc, and I say “initial arc” because I expected to eventually return to the Kyn with more books as there are more than enough characters to steal the spotlight.
How many books are completed?
Six, but Shadow’s Fall will release initially into Kindle Unlimited in July 2022 because the series spent a couple years in KU and I don’t want to leave those readers hanging. It will only be in for 90 days, then it will join the other five books at all retailers in October 2022.
What characters are the main stars in your series?
This was my first series, so I didn’t do the traditional one couple through the whole series. Shadow’s Edge, Shadow’s Soul and Shadow’s Fall all center on Raine McCord and Gavin Durand. Shadow’s Moon is Raine’s best friend, Xander’s story as she deals with her reluctant mate and alpha, Warrick. Shadow’s Curse is Natasha’s time to shine as she locks horns with Darius, and Shadow’s Dream gives us a chance to find out Cheveyo’s heart-breaking history as he reconnects with his one and only, Tala.
What is the overall theme in this series?
The supernatural race knowns as the Kyn have spent centuries hiding in the shadows, but human curiosity and rise of technology is forcing the Kyn to step into light of the mortal world. But what happens when those who populate fairy tales turn out to be all too real?
Please list the series titles below, in any order you prefer.
Shadow’s Edge
Shadow’s Soul
Shadow’s Moon
Shadow’s Curse
Shadow’s Dream
Shadow’s Fall
What did you like best about writing this series?
It was the first series I ever wrote, so I had a blast with the world creation, but in doing so, I broke some rules that made it challenging later on when I needed things to come together.
What other books (not in this series, have you written?)
For now, it’s a complete series, but there’s quite the cast waiting in the wings.

Read the series: You Can’t Hurry Love (Jukebox Collection Book 2) by AN Verebes #RLFblog #ContemporaryRomance
Enemies turn to lovers in AN Verebes’ new contemporary romance, You Can’t Hurry Love. Unfortunately, thanks to their respective families, Sara and Charlie are stuck in each other’s lives for the foreseeable future. Being civil is as good as it is going to get…or is it?Anita, 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 series.
You Can’t Hurry Love in the Jukebox Collection
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Book heat level (based on movie ratings): NC17
Sometimes love is worth the wait.
Sara Carlisle and Charlie Rhodes are complete opposites. Oil and water. Chalk and cheese.
Before Sara even meets Charlie, she hates him. He’s insulted her best friend -a woman Sara considers family- and that is unforgivable. In person he proves to be just as obnoxious and insufferable as she’d anticipated. And, as far as she’s concerned, the fact that he’s tall and muscular with an accent to die for is not enough to redeem him. Charlie Rhodes is an arrogant A–hole (with a capital A!) and that’s all there is to it!
For his part, Charlie thinks Sara is a conceited pain in the arse. A prissy princess to the nth degree. It becomes his prerogative to get under her skin for the sheer pleasure of riling her up. He feels genuine enjoyment in the face of her frustration, and he makes no secret of it. Besides, she gives as good as she gets!
Fundamentally opposed in every way, it’s obvious to those around them that they’re not going to get along.
But unfortunately, thanks to their respective families, they are stuck in each other’s lives for the foreseeable future. Being civil is as good as it is going to get…or is it?
When their relationship turns from reluctant acquaintances to red hot lovers, they find it’s good.
Really good.
What could possibly go wrong?
In a slow-burn romance that follows hot on the heels of Handle With Care*, Sara and Charlie discover that you really can’t rush romance.
*Both Handle With Care and You Can’t Hurry Love can be read as standalone novels in the expanding Jukebox Collection series.
Which book is this in the series?
Book 2, but it can be read as a standalone novel.
How many books do you plan for the series?
Currently there are 6 books planned, with two potential novellas in addition.
How many books are completed?
2 have been completed and published. The third is midway through its first draft, as is one of the novellas.
What characters are the main stars in your series?
Currently it’s the Rhodes brothers, Everett (Handle With Care) and Charlie (You Can’t Hurry Love), and their leading ladies (Gemma and Sara respectively). After this, each planned novel focuses on new characters who are introduced along the way within the existing novels, and their lives are all interconnected. It won’t be necessary to read them in any particular order.
What is the overall theme in this series?
Family. Whether it’s the family they were born into, an unconventional family dynamic, or the family that they have created for themselves through tightknit friendships, family is the key theme underpinning the series.
Please list the series titles below, in any order you prefer.
Handle With Care
You Can’t Hurry Love
Truth Hurts (estimated release date October 2022)
What did you like best about writing this series?
Bringing characters that have been living in my head ‘to life’ has been the most satisfying part of writing this series. I’ve been imagining them for such a long time, so being able to share them and their stories means a lot to me. And, alright, I might have fallen in love with the heroes along the way.
What other books (not in this series) have you written?
Nothing else published as yet. A lot of fanfiction? Does that count? Haha. There are plans -and half written novels- but nothing completed.
