Know the Hero from Reactivated: Oz by Charissa Gracyk @CharissaGracyk #RLFblog #MilitaryRomance
A group of former Navy SEALs discover they were part of a secret experiment that enhanced their DNA in Charissa Gracyk’s military book “Reactivated: Oz.” Now, the team’s dormant powers are resurfacing and an enemy plans to hijack them to create the perfect killing squad. Expect lots of steam, action and a touch of sci-fi in the new Project Phoenix series.Charissa, 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 hero, but first, tell us about Reactivated: Oz.
Reactivated: Oz by Charissa Gracyk
Genre: Military/Action
Book heat level (based on movie ratings): R
“Project Phoenix…Find Oz…”
Those were the last words her brother Jonah said when he died in her arms. Convinced that he was murdered, Navy Intel Officer Allegra Steele learns that “Oz” is her brother’s former Navy SEAL teammate, Jack “Oz” Cullen.
When Allegra asks for Jack’s help, she doesn’t expect the undeniable electricity that sparks between them. And, Jack, still trying to adjust to civilian life, knows he should stay away from the intelligent beauty.
Swept up in adventure and each other, they uncover a sinister evil called Project Phoenix, an experiment that gave each SEAL on Jack’s team a super power. When Jack’s ability suddenly resurfaces, he can hear other people’s thoughts—and, Allegra’s steamy internal dialogue makes this super sexy soldier sweat.
Know the Hero from Reactivated: Oz
Here are some fun questions to help us know your hero.
It’s late, he’s bored. What does he do?
Jack “Oz” Cullen would probably exercise. He’s still military-fit and enjoys a good run on the beach since he lives a few blocks away.
What kind of food would he impulse buy if hungry?
Jack is a simple man with simple tastes—give him beer and a burger or a pizza loaded with meat and he’s happy.
Describe the kind of clothes he prefers to wear.
Jack is always prepared and practical so his go-to, staple wardrobe consists of a t-shirt and cargo pants with endless pockets to keep his gadgets and weapons.
Does he know how to fix things?
Yes, and he’s so talented with his hands that he and his best friend and former teammate Dom started a company together where they flip houses.
He tried to do something and it went badly. Tell us about it.
Jack is a leader, quick-thinker and the one everyone turns to for an answer. That’s why his nickname is Oz—he’s the one behind the curtain, pulling the strings. Failure isn’t an option because lives depend on him. If a mission goes bad, people die. Of course, no matter how good he is, bad things do inevitably occur and he would shoulder the blame and bury the guilt.
What is he like first thing in the morning?
Jack is a military man and sleep was a luxury he seldom enjoyed, especially when he was Lieutenant Commander of his team and led them on dangerous, top-secret missions. He’s used to catching a minute of shut eye here or there and still gets up at the crack of dawn for a run along the beach followed by a swim in the ocean. He does enjoy black coffee, though, but he doesn’t need it to wake up.
Beard or clean-shaven?
Scruff. He’s a bit in-between, depending on his mood. While a SEAL, he sported a beard because it helped him blend in better with the locals. But now if he shaves more often.
Earrings/piercings/tattoos or unadorned skin?
Jack, better known by his nickname Oz to his teammates, sports a blue skull tattoo on his upper arm. Each of the four assault squadrons of the elite DEVGRU has its own identity and insignia, and Blue Squadron’s members identify as pirates.
Personal vehicle or public transport?
Jack owns a Ford-150 truck who he affectionately named Fannie and he requires a roomy vehicle because at 6’4″, he needs the additional leg room. He also needs the back carriage for transporting materials when he and Dom are renovating a house.
Thanks for helping us get to know your hero!

Ever since I snuck a romance novel off my aunt’s shelf when I was 10, I’ve loved the genre! I’m even named after a heroine from a romance that my Grandma read while my Mom was pregnant. I think it was meant to be and I’m so excited to share my fast-paced, action/adventure love stories with you.
I’m also a screenwriter and have written over 15 scripts, some of them even produced. I currently live in Los Angeles, but I’m originally from Toledo, Ohio, and visit home whenever I can. Rescuing animals is a passion and my cousin and I have fostered and helped home more than 300 dogs (and a few kitties!).

Breaking Boundaries a new #Military Romantic Suspense by @teresareasor #RLFblog
This quick interview includes info about the author, and introduces
the story.About the AuthorNew York Times
and USA Today bestselling author Teresa Reasor was born in southeastern
Kentucky, but grew up a Marine Corps brat. The love of reading instilled in her
in Kindergarten at Parris Island, South Carolina made books her friends during
the many transfers her father’s military career entailed. The transition
from reading to writing came easily to her and she penned her first book in
second grade. But it wasn’t until 2007 that her first published work was
released.After
twenty-one years as an Art Teacher and ten years as a part time College
Instructor, she’s now retired and living her dream as a full time Writer.Her body of
work includes both full-length novels and shorter pieces in many different
genres, Military Romantic Suspense, Paranormal Romance, Urban Fantasy,
Historical Romance, Contemporary Romance, and Children’s Books.Interview with Teresa ReasorWhy did you write this
book?When I wrote my second SEAL
Team Heartbreaker book Breaking Through, I had a young Marine who played an
important part in an intense rescue of one of my characters, and though he was
only in that one chapter, his character stuck with me.Right after the
book came out a friend of mine shared a photo of a young Marine, who had lost a
leg in Afghanistan and was working to become a model. I really wish I could
have used that image on my book. But it wasn’t available.Those two events
inspired my expanding the character of Callahan Crowes and giving him his own
book, Breaking Boundaries.What is your favorite
genre to read?Romantic suspense and it’s also my favorite genre to write.Who is your favorite
character from fiction (not including your own)? Female Characters would be:Alaina in Ashes in the Wind–Kathleen Woodiwiss, Eve Dallas in Nora
Roberts’ aka JD Robb’s In Death seriesMale Characters would be:Johnny in Karen Robards One Summer, Cole in Ashes in the Wind, Harry
Bosche in Michael Connelly’s series.What are you working on at
the moment, and will see from you in coming months?I’m working on the next SEAL Team Heartbreaker book, Breaking Out. It
will be Zach O’Connor, aka Doc’s book.Please tell us about your
latest book.Corporal
Callahan Crowes returns home from Afghanistan missing part of a leg and haunted
by guilt over the loss of his men. He pledges to live every moment of his life
to the fullest and works to build a career in the only field he knows besides
being a soldier: construction.Reeling from
her fiancé’s infidelity and their broken engagement, Kathleen O’Connor accepts
a job far away from Boston and the suffocating pity of friends and family. She
puts romance firmly behind her, and, armed with her shiny new architectural
degree, launches her career with a commercial construction and design firm.Her first day
on the job, she sees Cal risk his life to rescue a fellow worker, and is
shocked when his act of heroism triggers an unwarranted attack on him from her
supervisor. When she learns Cal may lose his job because of his
leg, Kathleen urges him to use social media to fight the decision, putting
her own job at risk.The public
firestorm pushes Cal into the limelight in ways he least expects, but shows him
a missing limb’s not the barrier to love he’s believed it is. But there’s
something besides business politics brewing at work, and when Kathleen’s life
is threatened, she discovers there’s more to a man than two good legs—it’s the
size of his heart that counts.About the BookTitle Breaking BoundariesGenre Military Romantic suspenseAuthor Teresa ReasorBook heat level (based on movie ratings): RBuy This BookAmazon http://www.amazon.com/dp/B013QDDESCBarnes and Noble http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/books/1122510177?ean=2940152089219Apple: http://apple.co/1MmOx7HSmashwords https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/567300Author Social MediaWebsite http://www.teresareasor.comTwitter https://twitter.com/teresareasorFacebook https://www.facebook.com/SEAL.CrazyPinterest http://www.pinterest.com/teresareasor/Amazon Author Page http://amzn.to/1j6OYPgNewsletter http://bit.ly/I7TtiC

Is All Fair in Love and War with @SharonLHamilton #RLFBlog #Romance
Navy SEALs are known for being the
best of the best when it comes to working in the arena of war. Highly trained
and skilled, practiced in all aspects of Team life, they are literally
programmed to react certain ways and to call on resources in the flick of an
eye.Not so at home. In fact, it’s well
known that many of the Special Forces have problems on the homefront, with a
higher than normal divorce rate. I created a scenario with my next series, Band
of Bachelors, a house full of men who have banded together because of their
common enemy: women. You can imagine the advice these bachelors give each
other—both solicited and unsolicited, and most of it horrible. Yet, one by one,
each will find his happily ever after.You know these guys already. They
are loyal to The Brotherhood, to the Navy, and to their wives and children,
even when they are estranged from them. Some will find their way back to wives
they never stopped loving, others will have to find love again, but each tale
will be a compelling and humorous journey of the heart, to find their true
soulmate.About the Book

Guard Dog by Sabrina York
A scorching sequel to Stone Hard SEALs
Mason Steele expected to be a SEAL until the day he died. And he was. A pity they revived him. Now he’s been mustered out of the Navy and his life seems wholly unsatisfying. He misses the action; he misses the camaraderie; he misses being able to use his tightly-honed skills. He’s lucky to have snagged this job with GAPS—the Guardian Angel Protective Services—it provides some hope for his future. But the last thing he wants to do is babysit a spoiled heiress who is obsessed with the color of her nail polish and carries a Chihuahua in her purse.
But there’s more to Pansy Hightower than can be seen at first glance. She’s smart, sassy and determined to save the business her late mother built. She resents having a guard dog and does what she can to lose her muscular shadow. But when it becomes clear that someone is targeting her—perhaps for the same kind of fatal “accident” that befell her mother, she decides having the 240 pound SEAL with killer instincts and lethal hands at her back might be a good idea after all.
Until they share a kiss, that is. Until those lethal hands prove they have other talents as well. Talents that leave her breathless and wanting and weak. The last thing either of them wants is a relationship, but the scorching passion between them cannot be denied…even though it will undoubtedly spell disaster for them both.Order This Book
