Genre Paranormal erotic romance
Book heat level (based on movie ratings): NC-17Trust your heart. Follow your dreams.
When instinct tells Shaina to visit the feral cat trap she’s set in Central Park, she listens to that inner voice. She discovers she’s caged a magnificent black tom, but the cat inexplicably vanishes after she tends to his wounds. Seeking the missing feline, Shaina encounters instead a handsome stranger whose slightest touch sets her body on fire. As the day dawns after a night of ferocious passion, her mysterious lover is forced back into his true shape—the tomcat she rescued.
Born a cat, Tom was transformed into an unwilling shape shifter by a sorceress who craved a human plaything to satisfy her perverse lusts. Centuries old and irresistibly powerful, Delphine Montserrat will stop at nothing to find her runaway familiar. Shaina vows to do whatever is necessary to defeat the vicious but seductive witch and save the man she believes is her soul mate—even though it might mean losing him forever.

Kassandra Cross, welcome to Romance Lives Forever. I’m Kayelle Allen, author and owner of this blog. Happy to have you here! Please tell us about A Bear For Christmas.
A Bear For Christmas by Kassandra Cross
Genre Festive Paranormal Romance
Book heat level (based on movie ratings): 15 / 18
Wild… Passionate… Grizzly…
What do you want for Christmas?
Unlucky-in-love Megan is escaping her troubled past, when she travels to an exclusive ski resort in Vermont to spend the holidays. All she wants to do is relax, unwind, and forget all about men.
But that all changes when the handsome Mason walks into her life… and completely turns it upside down. Mason is wild, untamed, and is hiding a wickedly sexy secret!
This Christmas, Megan is going to receive a present she never could have prepared for, she is about to be claimed by a seriously hot alpha bear!
A Bear For Christmas is a festive, feel good love story, full of magic, grizzly shifters, and set in a small, snowy mountain town.
Tell us about yourself as a person.
What makes you different from other people?
I’m not sure about anything that makes me specifically different, but I guess everyone is unique in their own way! I’m a mother, a wife, a daughter, a sister and a lover of the written word. I work hard, and play harder most of the time. I’m a little bit witchy, love hanging out with friends and traveling as much as I can. Life is never boring!
What is your personality type?
I would probably come across as an extrovert, but I am most definitely an introvert. I love my own company and a quiet night at home, writing in bed with a glass of wine and a face mask.
What was your favorite childhood game?
My best friend and I used to make dens underneath our staircases as kids and pretend we were little people who lived there. We still talk about it to this day!
What is your favorite subject to talk about?
Apart from books and writing, I love talking about current events and anything magical.
What is your favorite book?
How can I pick just one!? At the moment I am loving reading paranormal romance, especially books with witches and shifters. My all time favorite literary book might just be My Dark Vanessa though. It is so very, very good.
Tell us about yourself as a writer.
What made you want to be a writer?
My mother has a great love of books and her and I spent a lot of time reading when I was growing up. As a teen I journaled and started writing my own stories, and it all kind of spiraled from there. When it came to university I knew I didn’t want to study anything except English Lit and Creative Writing, so that’s what I did. It really helped build my craft and my confidence being involved in writing groups, and since then I have also gone on to complete a Masters Degree and study with some big names in the publishing industry. It’s been a fun journey, but independently publishing romance has to be my favorite chapter so far. It is great being in control of what I want to write, when I want to write it, without limits.
What are your favorite books for writing advice?
The Writers’ and Artists’ Yearbook continues to be an invaluable source of information year in and year out. I’ve studied writing at university (both undergrad and postgrad) so I got to know a lot of good reference books for both the established and beginning writer. My inbox is always open if anyone needs any tips!
What’s your best advice for a new writer?
Read. Read. Read. I know it’s a cliche, but it really is the best advice. Also, network, make friends in the author community, take risks and enjoy your writing journey. It’s unique to you and will take many twists and turns, but just have faith and keep going.
What are your writing goals for the next year or so?
I’m currently finishing up the first book in a new paranormal romance series. The series is called The Witches of Valport Springs and the first book will be Black Magic, which releases at the end of March 2022. The second book in the series will also release next year, along with the first book in an academy series set in the same world. I have two anthologies I’m working on, Cocky Alpha Shifters and Eclipsing Hearts. My main goal is to kickstart the world of Valport Springs with a bang, and hope my readers love it as much as I do :)

Read A Town Called Nowhere by VK Tritschler @vktritschler #RLFblog #ParanormalRomance
An abandoned town and two runaway were-panthers are in VK Tristchlers’ new paranormal romance, A Town Called Nowhere. With such contrasting backgrounds, will they have the strength to start afresh, find love and start the new pack, or will their pasts come back to haunt them?
VK, welcome to Romance Lives Forever. I’m Kayelle Allen, author and owner of this blog. Happy to have you here! Please tell us about A Town Called Nowhere.
A Town Called Nowhere by VK Tritschler
A were-panther shifter romance set in rural Australia.
Genre Paranormal Romance
Book heat level (based on movie ratings): Moderate
What happens when two lost were-panthers meet for the first time?
Nicci, a were-panther abandoned as a child and without a pack, finds herself on the run from the law. With nothing left to lose, she doesn’t trust anyone, especially her own heart.
Dru, a famous race car driver and inheritor of one of the most influential packs in Australia, is trying to escape notoriety, and his fate. Prepared to throw away everything, he is trusting his instincts to get him through.
Together they find themselves stuck in a small rundown deserted town called Nowhere in the wilderness of rural Australia.
Can they learn to trust each other and find a future, or is the call of the wild too strong?
QUICK
Do you write more than one genre? If so, what are they?
Absolutely! I love to write within romance, but I have done rom-com, paranormal romance, and even romantic suspense. It’s the appeal of relationships that brings me to the general genre, but the rest I leave up to inspiration.
How do you come up with ideas?
Randomly often. A thought or idea that I might have acquired during the day, or a conversation with a friend. Sometimes I play a card game to randomly select an idea, and once I start writing I just let the world reveal itself to me.
What is the single most important part of writing for you?
Finding time and allowing yourself to get absorbed into the book and the character. For me, the story is more than just a job or a activity, it’s the world in which your characters live, breathe and love. And that is a special relationship as you get to reveal them to your own world.
When did you write your first book?
My first full book I wrote in 2014-15 and got published in 2018. It was both my greatest joy to see it in print and my biggest fear.

Tiger’s Last Chance by Christina Lynn Lambert
Genre Paranormal
Book heat level (based on movie ratings): R
While working a case, Sean Whitman is tortured for information, drugged, and bitten against his will by a shape shifter. The fallout leaves him jobless, friendless, and dumped by his girlfriend. Needing a fresh start, he leaves town and opens a private investigation business. Learning to live life sober isn’t easy, but he makes it to the two year mark.
When Detective Nikki Jackson with the Great Oaks, Virginia Police Department calls him, accusing him of breaking into his ex-girlfriend’s house, Sean can’t help but like the sound of her voice, despite her ridiculous accusations. He’s shocked when she calls him back with an apology then asks for his help as a consultant on a case. On the phone, her sweet, slightly Southern voice captivates him. In person, she’s unlike any other woman he’s encountered, and nearly impossible to resist. But could the sexy detective ever want a man like him?
After Nikki’s last dating disaster, the mountain lion shifter has sworn off men. Then she meets Sean, and with every second she spends around the tall, dark-eyed man, her resolve crumbles. And the fact the guy’s kiss leaves her breathless? Yeah, that no-men idea sounds more and more like a bad idea. But for some reason, despite the undeniable attraction between them, Sean seems determined to push her away.
An investigation into missing refugees leaves Nikki with more questions than answers. Her refusal to let the matter drop leads her to the discovery of a radical political group’s horrifying plot for dominance. Traitors are embedded within the very organizations meant to keep shifters safe. As the list of people she can trust dwindles, Nikki calls on Sean to help her unravel a web of deceit.
Sean realizes pushing Nikki away was a stupid move. So when the sexy, amazing detective contacts him, he jumps at the second chance, dropping everything to fly across the country to help her. And he hates flying. But with her life in danger, he’ll do whatever it takes.
Can Sean and Nikki stop a hate group from carrying out their deadly plans? And if so, will he get one last chance to prove his love for her?Where to buy Tiger’s Last Chance

A few years ago, I read my first romance novel and I was hooked, so much so that I decided to give the idea of writing a story a chance. Love, courage, hope, and second chances are a few of my favorite themes. My stories include a fair amount of sarcasm, suspense, steam, and violence. When I’m not writing, I enjoy spending time outside and finding ways to avoid cooking. I live in beautiful Virginia with my husband, two daughters, and a sweet, hairy monster of a dog.
