Know the Heroine from You See Me by Gabbi Grey @gabbigrey #RLFblog #lesfic #WriteLGBTQ
Elouise is recovering from a broken heart by filming in a new movie up in Vancouver, Canada. When she meets Kelci, a make-up artist, sparks fly. Will they cross borders to find their happily ever after?
Gabbi, welcome to Romance Lives Forever. I’m Kayelle Allen, author and owner of this blog. Happy to have you here! We’re excited to find out more about your heroine, but first, tell us about You See Me.
You See Me by Gabbi Grey
Genre LGBTQ romance
Book heat level (based on movie ratings): R!Elouise
After a public break-up with my fiancée, I’ve retrenched in Vancouver, British Columbia to lick my wounds and star in a movie. I’m acting as if everything is okay, but then I meet a woman who sees the real me. Dare I take a chance to find real love?
Kelci
I’ve admired Elouise Hynes from afar for years. She’s recently come out of the closet and was dumped just a short time later. I want to offer comfort, but I’m a make-up artist on her movie crew. Can we really form a lasting bond when she lives in LA and I’m staying in Canada?
Know the Heroine from You See Me
Here are some fun questions to help us know your heroine.
It’s late, she’s bored. What does she do?
Elouise is a huge fan of cat and dog videos. She’s very much a small-town girl and would much rather hang out at home than go out in the big city.
What kind of food would she impulse buy if hungry?
She might or might not have a bit of a sweet tooth and might, on occasion, indulge in some ice cream.
Describe the kind of clothes she prefers to wear.
Although the characters she portrays in films often wear dresses, Elouise is very much of the ‘comfort is everything’ motto and she loves her jeans and sweaters.
Does she know how to fix things?
Growing up in rural Newfoundland, Canada, Elouise learned how to build things, fix things, and to knit. She’s independent and is fiercely proud to stand on her own.
She tried to do something and it went badly. Tell us about it.
For Elouise, her first disaster was her first lesbian relationship. She met a woman she loved and finally came out of the closet only to be dumped publicly and humiliated. After that, she swore off love.
How does she act around children she doesn’t know?
Elouise loves kids. She’ll happily get down on their level as she helped raise her younger siblings.
What is she like first thing in the morning?
Having grown up in a fishing village in rural Newfoundland, Elouise is accustomed to early hours. As one of the biggest film actresses in Hollywood, she often has early call times and cheerfully arrives on time, if not early.
Can she use chopsticks?
Although she’s lived in Los Angeles for years, and eaten at many different restaurants, chopsticks are her kryptonite.
Does she drink coffee? If so, how does she take it? If not, what does she drink instead?
Elouise is a true Canadian – she loves Tim Hortons Double Double coffee (black coffee with two shots of milk and two sugars).
What apps would she have on her phone?
Her fitness app is likely her favorite as she enjoys a sense of accomplishment when she hits her targets. She also has an apps to order Tim Hortons and Starbucks and, finally, she has an app to listen to her favorite audiobooks – most especially Canadian post-modern literature.
Android or iPhone?
Elouise loves her iPhone because she can stream old movies on it.
Earrings or unpierced ears?
Her work requires her to have pierced ears, and she loves the teardrop diamond ones.
Tattoos or unadorned skin?
Some actresses might have tattoos these days – great makeup is a thing – but Elouise prefers unadorned skin.
Personal vehicle or public transport?
Growing up in a rural small-town, she only had the family car or truck to get her around. When she first got to LA, she was fine with transit. These days, though, being so famous, she’s more likely to hail a cab. She tries to nab electric or hybrid ones as she’s worried about the environment.
Recycle or toss?
Elouise is an environmentalist all the way. She’ll go out of her way to find a recycling container and prefers her own refillable water bottle.
Thanks for helping us get to know your heroine!

Surrender Love, cinnamon roll meets alpha hero Kayelle Allen #SciFi #MMromance #RLFblog
I’m Kayelle Allen, author and owner of RLF–and I’m usually welcoming guests in this space. Today, it’s my turn to share a book. Surrender Love is in the Antonello Brothers: Immortal sci-fi series set in the Tarthian Empire.
Surrender Love by Kayelle Allen
Being dumped broke Luc’s heart, but public humiliation crushed it. Online betting programs placed odds on how long it would take the wealthiest man in the Empire to find a new romance. He was betting on never.
As an alien working on a human world, Izzorah faced contempt and prejudice. Never mind that he was the drummer for an Empire-famous rock band, he was also undocumented, and if discovered, it guaranteed deportation to his homeworld, where he risked execution.
When Izzorah’s band signs with Luc’s company, the desire that flares between them is instant and irresistible. But resist Izzorah and Luc must. To yield means sharing secrets neither dares to reveal.
They must focus on work and forget about love. Even when their hearts beg for surrender…

Do you fancy a billionaire #GayRomance – Seduced By A Warlock Billionaire by Jack Brightside @Brightside_Jack #WriteLGBTQ #RLFblog
A weekend with a billionaire warlock?
Jack, 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 Warlock Billionaire’s Soulmate.
About Seduced By A Warlock Billionaire by Jack Brightside
Genre MM Paranormal Romance
Book heat level (based on movie ratings): RWarlock Sam Grainneson has been single for two hundred years. Human connection is overrated! Or, so he thought. He saves another warlock, Redford, after he accidentally traps himself in the form of a bird and gets caught in a snowstorm. They spend the weekend together waiting for the storm to pass, and it’s the first time in centuries that Sam’s had company over. He should be forgiven for falling head over heels for his attractive guest.
Redford’s tired of dating guys from New York City: evil warlocks who brag about their black magic and human men from Wall Street who joke about how evil they are. He wants someone with a good heart who’s not just interested in him for his money. (Being a billionaire is hard sometimes, okay?) Sam is a good warlock, and it doesn’t hurt that he’s got a great body from all that wholesome manual labor he does at his hardware store.
Redford’s plan to win Sam over is simple. He invites him to his penthouse for a weekend in New York City, planning to pull out all the stops for a high-class seduction. That’s where the problems start.
The last time Sam traveled outside Connecticut was in a carriage, and he’s instantly overwhelmed by New York. Meanwhile, Redford realizes he has no idea how to be romantic. Usually, people are falling over themselves to win him over. Now he’s the one trying to impress somebody. Chaos ensues as Sam and Redford attempt to seduce each other, their desire for one another matched only by their awkwardness.
This is a male/male billionaire paranormal romance novella (12k words). It’s got a billionaire with no idea how to date, Sam’s first time in two centuries (we love that for him), and playful teasing of New Yorkers. It is the prequel to the “Warlock Billionaire’s Soulmate” and “The Warlock of Westland,” books in which both Sam and Redford end up with other people.

Read Zyon by Michelle Frost @MfrostWrites #RLFblog #Fantasy #WriteLGBTQ
Venerit warriors fight for the honor of their master’s house, but will they fight to defend an innocent among them?
Michelle Frost, welcome to Romance Lives Forever. I’m Kayelle Allen, author and owner of this blog. Tell us about Zyon.
Zyon by Michelle Frost
Genre: Fantasy, Gay Romance
Book heat level (based on movie ratings) RKidnapped and offered up as a prize for the three Venerit champions of the kingdom, Theon is terrified and out of his depth. He’s only human and completely at the mercy of the towering Venerit warriors he’s now forced to share a cell with.
Mage lords rule the land, but will Theon allow fear to rule his heart?
Navigating the politics of House Natas and the budding relationship between himself and the champions, Theon discovers enemies lurking around every corner. He’s coming to realize that even though the Venerits hold prestige and honor, they’re just as much slaves to their master as he is. With all of them at the mercy of their Lord, he knows that his champions might not be able to protect him from every threat.
Will the secrets Theon’s kept tear apart everything he’s fought so hard to claim as his own?
Zyon is a Kingdoms of Pelas novel featuring a scrawny human, a towering half-orc, a beautiful tiger, and a fierce gargoyle. As well as plenty of surprises along the way. Equal parts unflinching brutality and robust love story, this book isn’t for the faint of heart. Our characters’ journey will continue through the Kingdoms of Pelas series. Zyon features a harem/poly relationship and has an HFN ending.

Opening Night by Lisabet Sarai @LisabetSarai #RLFblog #NewRelease #MMHistoricalRomance
Lisabet Sarai’s MM romance Opening Night imagines a passionate love that defies Victorian mores. With the curtain going up on his new operetta in less than a week and a key cast member out of commission, comic genius William S. Gilbert must turn to dashing understudy Frank Wilson – and fight his disturbing attraction to the talented young man.
Lisabet, welcome to Romance Lives Forever. I’m Kayelle Allen, author and owner of this blog. Happy to have you here! Please tell us about Opening Night.
Opening Night by Lisabet Sarai
Genre MM Historical Romance
Book heat level (based on movie ratings): RLet your heart be your compass
It’s January 1887, a few days before the opening of the audacious new operetta “Ruddigore”. As if librettist William Gilbert doesn’t have enough to worry about, one of the D’Oyly Carte stars breaks his leg doing the horn pipe. Fortunately, the understudy Frank Wilson turns out to be immensely talented, as well as devilishly handsome. Wilson has set his heart on Gilbert – and he’s not going to be swayed from his course.
Why did you write this book?
When I was five years old, my parents took me to a performance of Gilbert and Sullivan songs. I’ve been a devoted fan ever since. This story, which I originally wrote for an anthology of queer alternative history, gave me the chance to imagine Gilbert’s and Sullivan’s world – and how a same-sex love affair might have turned it topsy-turvy.
What is your favorite genre to read?
This week LOL? Seriously, I read almost every genre. Indeed, in some ways I am anti-genre, since I view originality as one of my most important criteria in evaluating a book, so the fewer genre tropes an author employs, the better I like it.
Who is your favorite character from fiction (not including your own)?
At the moment I’m steeped in the Victorian era, having just finished my Victorian steam punk trilogy The Toymakers Guild as well as Opening Night. So Sherlock Holmes definitely springs to mind, also Jane Eyre.
Depending on context, I might answer this question very differently the next time I am asked!
What are you working on at the moment?
I’m in the process of writing an erotic novella that links two of my fictional worlds. I also have an unfinished paranormal menage romance that has been sitting on my hard drive for a couple of years. I’m committed to completing that this year, hopefully in time for Halloween.
What books will we see from you in coming months?
In addition to the erotica novella mentioned above, I will be publishing new editions of several of my romances, including my popular paranormal romance The Eyes of Bast and my contemporary, multiracial menage tale Wild About that Thing.

Lisabet Sarai became addicted to words at an early age. She began reading when she was four. She wrote her first story at five years old and her first poem at seven. Since then, she has penned plays, tutorials, scholarly articles, marketing brochures, software specifications, self-help books, press releases, a five-hundred page dissertation, and lots of erotica and erotic romance – over one hundred titles, and counting, in nearly every sub-genre—paranormal, scifi, ménage, BDSM, GLBT, and more. Regardless of the genre, every one of her stories illustrates her motto: Imagination is the ultimate aphrodisiac.
