#NewRelease The Toymakers Guild: The Complete Series By Lisabet Sarai @lisabetsarai #Steampunk #Romance
If you like brilliant, wanton women and kinky steampunk sex toys, dive into the alternate universe of the The Toymakers Guild.The Toymakers Guild: The Complete Series By Lisabet Sarai
At Randerley Hall, lust is a lubricant to creativity. Nothing is impossible. Nothing is forbidden.
Defying the repressive morality of the Victorian era, the Toymakers Guild uses advanced technology to fabricate bespoke sexual devices for the discrete pleasure of select clients. Its members are not only brilliant engineers but also sexual renegades seeking freedom from the prudish society that surrounds them.
Nineteen-year-old prodigy Gillian Smith arrives at Randerley to apply for an apprenticeship in the Guild. With her technical abilities and her lascivious temperament, she is eminently suited to join the Master Toymaker’s close-knit band of uninhibited erotic artisans. Gillian flourishes among the Toymakers, designing and implementing ever-more-outrageous carnal contraptions. Each voluptuous commission she completes, each sensual adventure she enjoys, binds her more tightly to the Guild and to the perverse, tortured genius who is its founder.

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 written 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, LGBTQ, and more. Regardless of the genre, every one of her stories illustrates her motto: Imagination is the ultimate aphrodisiac.

Read the science fiction series Terras Five by Anne Kane @AnneKane #RLFblog #SciFi #SciFiRomance
Anne, 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 Terras Five Cyborg series.How Terras Five came to be.
I am seriously in love with my Terras Five Cyborg series, and hope my readers are too. I’ve always enjoyed science fiction and wanted to pair that with romance. My original idea was to have a planet full of Alpha males who were used to submissive females. Then I’d pair them with human females who don’t always (or ever!) do what they are ordered. The results were even better than I anticipated.
Terras Five is a planet colonized by humans who chose to become Cyborg in order to survive the harsh environment they found themselves in. The children are born human, receiving cybernetic implants during their childhood. This means that humans and Cyborgs are genetically compatible, since they have a common ancestry. The planet now has a stable population, but the lifestyle they have developed is considered strange by the humans that occupy the other planets in that part of the galaxy. Terras Five males are Cyborg, but the females are fully human and live in pampered enclaves. The females’ sole purpose is to produce offspring for the colony.
Inevitably, there are cultural clashes between the Cyborgs of Terras Five and the humans in the rest of the galaxy. These clashes are what make the stories so much fun to write. The romances are all about the interactions of human and Cyborg and how both cultures come to realize their differences are not as important as what they feel for each other. Of course, there’s lots of action along the way!
To date, there are seven books in the series with several more planned. Did I mention I love the Cyborgs of Terras Five? Did I mention that book 1 – Her Cyborg Lover – is only 99 cents?
Her Cyborg Lover
Natalie’s loved and lost and she’s not so sure she wants to risk her heart again. She’s willing to settle for a challenging career as a space-pilot instructor and a succession of no-strings attached lovers. But that’s before her boss saddles her with the last thing she wants—a new partner.
Jebediah recognizes his perfect match in Natalie from the moment she seduces him on a dare. Everything that makes her a top-notch pilot, from her fearlessness to her passion, make a night in her bed both challenging and unforgettable.
A dangerous confrontation with a brutal enemy, an exploding drive engine and a traitor close to home throw everything into perspective. Natalie is going to have to put the past behind her and risk it all, because when your partner is also your lover, failure is not an option.

Anne Kane lives in the beautiful Okanagan Valley with a bouncy little rescue mutt who’s breed defies description, a cantankerous Himalayan cat, and too many fish to count. She spent many years trying to fit in and act normal, but finally gave up the effort. She started writing romance in 2008, and her fate was sealed when she won a publishing contract with Red Sage Publishing and just a month later Changeling Press accepted her first submission. Since then she had published more than thirty stories in a variety of sub-genres, all with a happily ever after.
Her hobbies, when she’s not playing with the characters in her head, include kayaking, hiking, swimming, playing guitar, singing and of course, reading.

Read Nario the new #SciFi #Romance by Veronica Scott @vscotttheauthor #RLFblog
A genetically engineered Badari Warrior finds himself on a one way trip to the home world of his enemies in Veronica Scott’s Nario. Will he be able to keep his human fated mate safe and get them home again when everyone on the planet is against them?Veronica, welcome to Romance Lives Forever. I’m Kayelle Allen, author and owner of this blog. Happy to have you here! Please tell us about Nario: A Badari Warriors Scifi Romance Novel.
Nario by Veronica Scott
Genre SciFi Romance
Book heat level (based on movie ratings): PG13+What starts out as a simple mission to rescue a group of lost humans turns into a nightmare for pack enforcer Nario, as he’s captured by the enemy scientists and plunged into an unprecedented journey to their home world for unknown experiments.
No Badari has ever been to the Khagrish planet but Nario vows to find a way to save himself and the others taken with him. The situation takes on additional urgency when he realizes one of the human women in the group is his fated mate.
Aliana Ridley was a historian in the Sectors, traveling from world to world to record significant events when she was abducted by enemy aliens and destined to become a subject in unimaginable experiments. Now she has to rely on this fearsome, genetically engineered soldier to help her escape their captors and find a way home. She agrees to pretend to be his mate to fool the scientists but soon finds herself experiencing emotions she never expected to have with a man who’s handsome but not human.
Will Nario find a way to escape the enemy’s grasp and get them all safely back to the Badari planet?
Author’s Note: This is a complete story for the two main characters, ending with their HEA. There is a cliffhanger situation unresolved in the book for a pair of secondary characters, which I’ll resolve in the next book in the series.
Why did you write this book?
First, let me say what a pleasure it’s been to visit you here on the RLF Blog over the years! I think my first guest post was about Marooned, back in 2015. But all good things do come to an end and I’m honored to be among the final guests on this wonderful blog. I wrote NARIO because he’s the next Badari Warrior in my award-winning series to have his adventure and romance told, while also advancing the overall series arc a bit. NARIO is the 19th book in the series (which can all be read as standalones if the reader doesn’t mind mild spoilers for earlier books). Pack enforcer Nario first appeared in the book centering on his Alpha JAMOKAN and I just fell in love with him when he appeared. He was like an old friend and I knew he needed a book of his own.
What is your favorite genre to read?
Science fiction romance, although I read a lot of different genres too, from Regency romance to military fiction.
Who is your favorite character from fiction (not including your own)?
Either Ripley from the movie “Aliens” or Lessa the Weyrleader from Anne McCaffrey’s Dragonrider series. Both strong women who don’t take no for an answer and get things DONE.
What are you working on at the moment?
I’m writing the next Badari Warrior book, which is Faine. He was along for the trip in Nario and I had to leave a little bit of a cliffhanger for him and his fated mate (well, okay a big cliffhanger) while wrapping up Nario’s HEA.
What books will we see from you in coming months?
After Faine I’ll probably write a new Star Cruise story. I like to do at least one a year in that series, and then either more Badari Warriors or possibly the start of a new scifi romance series. I do have a novelette coming out in an anthology in September, which features my first ever hero with a tail. That was fun to write. It’s entitled “Breaking the Alien Love Curse” and it’s in the Supra Vellum anthology. I’m always full of ideas and not enough time!

Read The Zenith Decoy the new #SciFi by Lorin Petrazilka and Laura Hohman @petrazilka #RLFblog #Romance
A visit to an outpost on the edge of the Zenith Empire takes a sudden turn when Princess Montellor and her handmaid are tricked into a trap by the Aeon Dynasty. The kidnapping turns out to be not simply a plot to ransom them, but rather a much more cunning plan set in motion by the evil pirate lord Thassian Renoud.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 Zenith Decoy.
The Zenith Decoy by Lorin Petrazilka & Laura Hohman
Genre SciFi
Book heat level (based on movie ratings): PG 13A space adventure with intrigue, romance, royalty, and pirates who want to be royalty. The Princess of the Zenith Empire and her handmaid are captured by the Aeon Dynasty, a pirate organization looking for any way to legitimize their claims.
Forced into an arranged engagement with the ruffian Prince Dax, Shandra and Jayna fight to escape while learning about the galaxy, about love and loyalty, and what it means to be a royal in a vast galactic empire.
Why did you write this book? This is the second time Laura and I have co-written together. The first time, we wrote a set of paranormal romance novellas. We intended to write a novella length story again, but this book took on a life of its own and became a full novel! We both love fantasy with a bit of a YA feel, and we love Star Trek. For this book, we blended the two and came up with a space adventure that has the elements of a SciFi without getting too heavy into the science aspect. And while there’s a romance storyline, really it’s a friendship story.
What is your favorite genre to read?
Fantasy Romance
Who is your favorite character from fiction (not including your own)?
