    Threads of Destiny by NJ Walters

    Genre erotic romance
    Book heat level (based on movie ratings): R
    When a magical tapestry brought a beautiful and loving bride into his brother’s life, Marc Garen could not have been happier, even though he’d hoped to win her for himself. But lately his feelings of emptiness have threatened to overwhelm him, as their buoyant happiness is such a stark reminder of the loneliness that haunts his soul. Then a new tapestry appears and hurls him into a strange and violent world—and into the arms of a woman who has haunted his dreams and carries the promise of the love he so longs for.
    Kathryn Piedmont is a brave and beautiful scientist, and she’s put her own life at risk to save two men who were part of a scientific experiment and are now marked for death. As the three find themselves trapped and facing certain execution, Kathryn is convinced their fate is sealed—until Marc, the ruggedly handsome warrior of her fantasies, suddenly appears in the flesh and magically transports them to safety.
    With all of them now safe in Marc’s world, the three men in turn and together share Kathryn’s bed, each of them intent on satisfying her every sensual need—and each of them compelled to try to make her his own. But Marc knows that Kathryn is the one woman who can quiet the powerful stirrings in his body and his heart, and he will take her to incredible heights of pleasure to claim her for himself and make her his own for all time…

    Meet Eve Star from Only a Good Man Will Do by Dee S Knight @DeeSKnight #RLFblog #romance

    Meet Eve Star from Only a Good Man Will Do by Dee S Knight @DeeSKnight #RLFblog #romanceWelcome Eve Star from Only a Good Man Will Do by Dee S Knight, a new erotic romance.

    Eve Star

    Age: 30
    Gender: Female
    Birthplace: Chicago, IL
    Profession: Manager of a bar
    Ethnicity: American
    Species (for scifi/fantasy characters): Human
    Please provide a physical description of your character.
    5’10”, long, chestnut colored hair, it’s naturally wavy no matter what she does to it. She has brown eyes, and a nice figure—large breasts, full hips and very narrow waist. She’s been told by uncounted men that she’s beautiful and desirable, but she shrugs and says, “I’m just me.”
    Please tell us a little about your character.
    I left home early on. Never got a degree though I graduated from high school with good grades. Ended up stripping in order to pay rent and found that I kind of enjoyed it. Someone mentioned that money was better in Europe, so I scraped up enough to get myself to Berlin and started off. Before I knew it, I was a huge success, making more money than I could have imagined. I met a few men, too, but none like Luigi. He gave me a home in Florence and then he gave me a son. Then…he took everything but my son away. That’s how I ended up back in the States, managing a bar in small town New Hampshire. I’ll do whatever it takes to care for Timmy and to see that he gets the best I can afford.
    Who is the significant other in your character’s life?
    Damn if I haven’t fallen for a teacher at the school where Timmy goes, Daniel Goodman. He’s a snob at times, and full of himself, but he’s really a reflection of his name: a good man. I love him fiercely, but he told me sup straight from the beginning, he needs a wife who can fit the role of headmaster’s wife, and that can never be me, not with my history. For now, I’ll take what I can get from him because, well, I love him.
    How does your heroine dress?
    She made a lot of money dancing in Europe and she didn’t skimp on clothing. So for work at the bar she wears tight jeans and an open collared blouse—better tips . When she takes Timmy to Westover Academy, she dresses in the classy and stylish clothes she brought from Paris and Milan.
    How educated is this character? Is she book smart, self-taught, widely-experienced?
    She has a high school diploma but didn’t go to college. She’s life-smart, having learned by hard work and not always in the best of conditions.
    What is your character’s viewpoint on wealth? Not necessary, nice to have, important, obtain at all costs?
    The man she thought loved her in Italy was wealthy and he treated her to a beautiful house, jewels, fine food—everything she might have wanted. But when he kicked her out for getting pregnant, she discovered true wealth is only good when it provides for and protects those you love. Now she’s happy with what she has: enough money to pay for her son’s schooling and live reasonably well. She’s happy with that.
    What special skills does your character rely on?
    She knows people, can read them. And she’s very persuasive. She has a clever mind—she tells Daniel that she thinks through chess moves five and six ahead, so she’s strategic and uses that to her advantage.
    What is your character’s family like?
    Is she close to family?
    She is not close to her mother. There’s no word about her father. But she has her child, Timmy, and that’s all the family she needs. All she’s likely to have since Daniel has made it clear that they’re friends with benefits only. She knows she could call on him if she needed help, but is he family? No. Not that she doesn’t dream…
    Does she have children?
    A son, Timothy Knowles. Knowles is Eve’s real name—Lauren Knowles—but she’s used her stage name for so long, it feels like who she is. Timmy is six and attends Westover Academy as a residential student. Eve has recently become afraid that if she keeps him home she’ll hover too much. But she longs for the weekends when she can pick him up and spend time together.
    Does this character see morality as black-and-white, or with shades of gray?
    Eve definitely sees shades of gray. She doesn’t consider herself a bad person because she lived with Luigi and eventually had his child. How could anything that gave her Timmy be bad? That doesn’t mean that she doesn’t recognize a mistake when she makes one. Like falling for Daniel, another man who might want her as a mistress but nothing more. How could she have been so foolish? But was their lovemaking immoral? No, not in her eyes.
    If someone from your character’s past showed up, who would she most want it to be, and why? OR who would she most NOT want it to be, and why?
    Eve truly would NOT want to see Luigi Donatello, Timmy’s father. If he showed up, it would only mean trouble. He made it clear when he tossed her aside that he was finished with her. His arrival back in her life would mean disaster for her and especially for Timmy.
    Can your hero keep a secret? If not, why not? If yes, why?
    Absolutely! In her life away from Westover Academy, she is known as Eve Star. Anywhere around Westover she is the fairly well to do, Lauren Knowles. She wanted the best for Timmy, and to Eve, that means enrolling Timmy in Westover. For that to happen, she keeps two personas—and the secrets that go along with the subterfuge.
    If your character could make any one thing happen, what would it be?
    For Timmy to grow up in a household with two parents and lots of love.

    About Your Writer: Questions for your character to answer about you.

    To honor the person who chose to share your story, please answer at least four of these questions. Questions with more than one point should be considered one question. You may answer as many more as you like.
    Why do you think your writer chose to write about you?
    Dee is used to writing about mostly happy characters. I’m not Unhappy, but I do have issues. I think that’s why she chose me to be her heroine. And she needed a more free-wheeling person to be Daniel’s foil. Gosh! I love Daniel! I’m so glad Dee chose me to be his great love.
    Why do you think your writer loves to write?
    She has all these stories in her head. The woman thinks about plots and characters all the time! If I wanted to have a rational conversation with her it would be difficult because she’s always going off on plot tangents for a new book. She’s impossible!
    What do you wish your writer would write next?
    What other character from your book do you think your writer should write a book about? Care to tell us why?
    Well, I didn’t meet Daniel’s brothers until the end of our book, but I think Dee should write about one of them next. Maybe *tapping finger on chin* Jonah.
    Is there anything you’d like to say to your writer?
    Thank you for giving me Daniel to love! He’s the best—a true good man—and I’ve never been so happy. Timmy has a real dad now.

    Bucket list of Daniel Goodman from Only a Good Man Will Do @DeeSKnight #RLFblog #romanceLet’s meet Daniel Goodman from Only a Good Man Will Do, an erotic romance by Dee S Knight. 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.

    Only a Good Man Will Do by Dee S Knight

    Genre Erotic romance
    Book heat level (based on movie ratings): R
    Seriously ambitious man seeks woman to encourage his goals, support his (hopeful) position as Headmaster of Westover Academy, and be purer than Caesar’s wife. Good luck with that!
    Daniel Goodman is a man on a mission. For years he has striven for perfection, fighting for the pinnacle achievement in his world of academia, Headmaster of Westover Academy. Westover, established before the American Revolution, is still one of the most prestigious schools in the country. They accept only boys whose parents fit a certain mold and only those teachers who hold to a stringent set of mores, on and off campus. Jonah considers his brother a prig. Daniel sees himself as doing his best to serve his students. How much better can he serve them as headmaster? That is what he seeks to find out.
    Suddenly, into his cut and dried, strictly black and white life of moral and upright behavior, comes Eve Star, formerly one of Europe’s foremost exotic dancers. Her life is anything but cut and dried, black and white. Bad enough that she’s enrolled her son in Westover Academy under false pretenses. More, she runs the town’s most disreputable bar. Worst, much to Daniel’s dismay, he finds himself drawn to her like a kid to chocolate. Nothing good can come of this attraction. Or can it? He is after all, a good man.
    When someone dies, we say they “kicked the bucket.” Therefore, a list of things that a person wants to accomplish, places to go, situations to experience, and so on have become known as a “Bucket List.”
    Answer these questions as the character. Please write on the same line.
    Age: 36
    Gender: Male
    Birthplace: Lucky Strike, NC
    Profession: Educator
    Ethnicity: Caucasion
    Species (for scifi/fantasy characters): Human
    Please provide a physical description of yourself.
    6’1″, hazel eyes, hair trimmed short and neat, trim figure, clean-shaven, always impeccably dressed
    Please tell us a little about yourself.
    I teach buys at the prestigious Westover Academy, a preparatory school for boys in New Hampshire. I started there eight years ago after teaching elsewhere for four years and gaining my PhD. I’m bookish and not embarrassed about that. I love working with my charges, both the younger boys who live in my dorm and the older boys, whom I teach English literature. The pinnacle of my career would be to become headmaster of Westover, and that is my current goal and why I need a woman who can fit in to the school culture and help support my dream.
    Who is the significant other in your life?
    Sadly, my obsession is with a woman who cannot fit into the school culture and would never be accepted as my wife–should I reach my goal of becoming headmaster. She’s Eve Star, a former exotic dancer. Or, let’s call a spade a spade, a former stripper, well-known on the European stage.
    If you haven’t made a bucket list before, perhaps now would be a good time. Who knows? It might inspire another book. While you’re at it, how about telling us about some of your other favorite things? Here are the questions.
    What is your birth order?

    I’m one of a set of identical triplets. Mother never told us who was born first, middle, or last. Maybe because she didn’t really know herself.
    Tell us about your favorite toy as a child.
    Books. Always books.
    Describe your favorite food and how it’s prepared.
    As a child, my palate was simple–pinto beans and cornbread was great. Since dining at school I’ve come to appreciate a good roast. I understand that Eve makes an exceptional roast–I wonder if she would make one for me.
    Tell us about your best friend.
    My brothers, Mark and Jonah, were always my best friends. I stayed by myself a lot, though, losing myself in books. Here at school, my best friend on the faculty is Stan Baxter.
    What are two places you would like to visit before you die, and why?
    Great Britain because so much great literature and poetry emerged from there, and Italy because that’s where Eve lived for years. I’d like to see it through her eyes.
    Where is a place you would never like to return, and why?
    To live? Lucky Strike. It’s home and I have good memories of there, but people there think of me as one of the Goodman boys. I’ve worked hard to be my own man and I don’t want to be thought of as one of three again.
    Who is someone you would like to meet, and why?
    What literature teacher wouldn’t want to meet Shakespeare? But also Matthew Arnold because of his great poetry and his critical view on society and culture.
    Who is someone you would like to avoid, and why?
    Sydney Thomas. Her father is an important man on the Westover Academy board and Sydney fancies herself my champion. She’s a nice woman but she makes it known that she has more than a casual interest in me. It’s annoying because Sydney would make a perfect headmaster’s wife but Eve is driving me crazy with desire.
    If you could time travel to any date, what would it be, and what would you do there?
    The very early 17th century to view Shakespeare’s plays performed in the original Globe Theatre.
    What was your biggest challenge in writing this book?
    Revising the original storyline. It started years ago as a duo book with Vanessa Hart. She had been writing the part of Daniel’s twin brother, Jonah. When Vanessa gave her permission for me to continue the story alone, I had to fill in the parts she would have written. I also changed the twin story to triplets. There was quite a bit to do from a differing perspective, but I like the new direction.
    Why did you choose this character for the interview today?
    He’s the hero in the first book in The Good Man Series, a play on Daniel’s last name, Goodman. I like him–I can identify with him, having taught boys for a good number of years myself.
    When writing the book, what did you discover about this character that surprised you?
    How good a man he is. I mean, he can be a snob, but in his heart, he’s good. I like him!
    Are any sequels planned for this book?
    Yes, Jonah and Mark each get their own books. Jonah is a mechanic who gets a second chance at love–if he doesn’t screw things up again!–and Mark is a true genius who doesn’t recognize that the best thing in his life is before his very eyes.
    What genre(s) would you like to write that you haven’t tried yet?
    Hmmm… I’ve written futuristic, sweet (under a different name), ménage, and paranormal, so I’m not sure. I do have in mind a series that’s sweeter than The Good Man Series and will be written when I end with the Goodmans.
    What would your readers be surprised to learn about you?
    That I look like a sweet grandma who knows nothing about erotic romance. So untrue! ;)
    Why should readers who haven’t picked up one of your books before give this one a try?
    The story itself is good–it’s not all sex, though Daniel has healthy male appetites. Reviews have been wonderful and I think the believable characters will draw readers in. That was my goal, anyway!
    Is there anything you’d like to say to your readers?
    I love all of you! Thank you for inviting me into your reading world! And thank you, Kayelle for this opportunity!

    Genre contemporary menage

    Having grown up in foster care, Latasha looks forward to a stable happily-ever-after with K.C., her Jamaican boyfriend. But his band, Caribbean Climax, is flat broke. When Jonathan Lance, CEO of Third Mountain Coffee, propositions her for one paid night of ecstasy, she does it for her and K.C.’s future.
    Jonathan has admired Latasha from afar since the day he met her, but his company comes first. His father, who controls part of it, would never approve of an interracial relationship. After the business transaction, however, emotional ties remain, and Latasha is torn between two men who differ in every way.
    And when the unthinkable happens, will her choice be easier—or impossible?

    Four Real by Alyssa Turner @alyturn #RLFblog #ReverseHarem

    Alyssa Turner, 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.

    Four Real by Alyssa Turner

    Genre: MMFM Menage
    Book heat level (based on movie ratings): R
    Lead singer of the start-up band Four Real, Tricia Donahue left her hometown with one question. How can you love three men at once? She’s convinced herself that it can’t be done—not without living up to her family’s infamous reputation. Now, years later, lead guitarist Michael Hill is touring with world famous TRE, far removed from the small town band he once called his family. Home will never be the same until he makes things right. Keyboarder, Pete Morello and drummer, Marty Pierce were always close, but when the one girl they ever loved disappeared from their life, their casual threesomes and life’s hard knocks revealed the feelings they share for each other. Reunion time for four best friends with unfinished business means they will finally face the music. Fantasy…meet reality.
    A twist on second chances.
    As a ménage author, I’m always looking for a different perspective on the tropes very often found in the genre. Four Real is a rock star romance as much as a friends to lovers story and also a second chance drama. Taking a different angle on the rock star trope, I did not set Four Real against the backdrop of superstardom and the glitz and glam of that life. I took my superstar, Michael Hill and put back in his hometown with the people who know him best, the people who humble him. I wanted to take a close look and the person behind the stardom. I wanted the reader to fall in love with the man and all his flaws, without the grandeur of his fame to influence that connection. It’s a twist, and not the only one.
    It’s not a secret that the romance readership is mostly women. I also don’t think it’s a stretch to imagine that women (myself included) like to be right. The proverbial dog house is usually reserved for the guy in the relationship. Enter twist number two. Tricia Donahue might come off tough and independent, but the fact is, she’s scared. Her fears aren’t typical, because her upbringing wasn’t either. She’s the daughter of an addict and the fear of representing ever bad decision she witnessed growing up has kept her from the good she’s meant to find. Her fears also had casualties that stretched further than her own dreams of happiness. She hurt the men that only ever wanted to love her. I’m not easy on Tricia and neither are her guys. They hold her accountable, because it’s what she needs to find the strength to face her demons. Love is tough. Trusting in that love is even tougher. But when you get a second chance at HEA, there’s only one way to play it…just be real.
    Four Real will be released in dynamic Duet format audio for Audible.com, narrated by Vivianna Marlowe, Curt Bonnem and Erin Bateman.

    Introducing Melissa Crandall from Naval Maneuvers, by Dee S Knight @DeeSKnight #RLFblog #romance

    Let’s meet Melissa Crandall from Naval Maneuvers, an erotic romance, by Dee S Knight. Welcome to Romance Lives Forever. I’m Kayelle Allen, author and owner of this blog. Happy to have you here! Please tell us about the story your author wrote.

    Naval Maneuvers by Dee S Knight

    Genre Erotic romance
    Book heat level (based on movie ratings): R
    Men and women of the armed forces experience desire and love pretty much like everyone else. Except, well, there is that uniform. And the hard-to-resist attraction of “duty, honor, service” as a man might apply them to a woman’s pleasure. All things considered, romance among the military is a pretty sexy, compelling force for which you’d better be armed, whether weighing anchor and moving forward into desire, dropping anchor and staying put for passion, or setting a course for renewed love with anchor home.

    Introducing Melissa Crandall

    Please tell me about yourself.
    Age: 33
    Gender: Female
    Birthplace: Jacksonville, NC
    Profession: Doctor
    Ethnicity: Caucasian
    What do you look like?
    I’m maybe a little more curvy than fashion dictates. I have auburn hair, shoulder-length and deep green eyes, and I’m relatively tall—around five eight or nine.
    Who is the significant other in your life?
    I recently met David Stimson and fell hard and fast, despite my usual deliberative personality.
    How do you dress?
    I like the classic styles—trouser pants with pleats and a belt when going out casually and soft, collared blouses. I have three distinct little black dresses and almost always wear dresses or skirts when going out for an evening. I enjoy heels because they make me feel feminine (and yes, sexy!) but am just as comfortable in flats. Clothing must be comfortable and I tend towards the flowing, draping types of materials of very good quality.
    Please tell us about your education.
    I attended undergraduate school at Georgetown but went to University of Virginia for medical school. I also practice here in Charlottesville.
    Do you get by, live comfortably, live extravagantly?
    I live comfortably but I am not extravagant. I enjoy good clothes and I like attending lectures and seminars on topics like archaeology and history (a must if you live in Virginia!). I own my house, but it’s modest, and though I have a mid-priced car, I usually bicycle to work.
    On what special skills do you rely?
    My attention to detail, empathy for my patients, and a quick memory. I use these things to give my patients the best care.
    Are any of your skills a source of pride or embarrassment, and if so, which ones and why?
    Definitely pride. I truly like people and see it as my duty to serve them the best I can.
    What is your family like?
    I love my parents very much though I’m closer to my mom then my dad. He was a “lifer” in the Marine Corps, often away while I was growing up. I hated that he loved his job more than Mom or me because it seemed he was always away when we needed him most or wanted him there, like for recitals and plays. I saw my mom as a tower of strength because she held us together when I would have given up. Only recently have I realized how much my dad loved me, too. In fact, since I fell in love with David and then gave him up, I’ve learned a great deal about life, love, and being an adult—and all from my parents.
