Love in the Boondocks @AdamMannAuthor #RLFblog #romance
Dave is working for a development project with farmer
families in remote and distant areas, often mountainous. Very few people speak
English, and he works with several translators. He comes across primary school
teachers who work in villages in those areas, and one of them who speaks English
asks him for help with transport to one of the distant villages. She inadvertently
invites herself for accommodation overnight in Dave’s small village house.
Kim Anh comes from a family of teachers, and unfortunately is just recovering
from a failed marriage, so meeting Dave is quite fortuitous and she
instinctively cleans and tidies Dave’s kitchen and bedroom.
Kim’s departure to her new village is delayed as her transport is not
available, until after the forthcoming luni-solar holidays, and she stays
another day in Dave’s house. The weather grows colder and Dave kindly offers
her warmer sleeping facilities!
Kim had found Dave an attractive man when she first met him, but Dave found all
young ladies beautiful, until Kim began to blossom under Dave’s care.
Initial contact turns to passion and passion to deep love.
Everything works out well until Kim’s co-teacher turns up with a baby, a
non-husband, and big problems!About Love in the Boondocks

Dani: Stressing the Heroine from Taunt @Eve_Dangerfield #RLFblog #thriller
Every heroine has a story. She has a background, a history, and a past. This interview allows us to meet a heroine and get to know her better, by focusing on how she handles being relaxed, as well as how she handles stress.About Eve Dangerfield
Eve has loved romance novels since she first started swiping
her grandmother’s paperbacks at the age of fourteen. Now she writes her own
unapologetically sexy tales about complex women and
gorgeous-but-slightly-tortured men. Eve currently lives in Melbourne with her
lovely sister and a rabbit named Billy.About Taunt
Genre Contemporary Romance, Erotic, ThrillerBook heat level (based on movie ratings): RDaniel Schwartz never meant to uncover the apocalypse,
unfortunately for the Kiwi hacktivist, that’s exactly what happened. Yet while
it’s clear to her what she should do; cover it back up and get completely
smashed, the rest of the world doesn’t agree. A shady corporation places her in
a beachside prison where they promise to hold her until she agrees to talk.
Dani would be pretty annoyed if she weren’t:
a) Biologically incapable of being annoyed
b) Very intrigued by the men hired to guard her
c) Extremely hungover
John, Colt, and Seb have poured a lot of time and money into their private
security business the last thing they need is to waste six weeks babysitting a
hyperactive hippie. Sadly they’ve signed a shady but watertight contract. Each
of the three men finds himself drawn to the weird, pop-obsessed Daniel and she
to them. As they become entangled in each other’s lives Daniel is forced to answer
some big questions such as; how can you escape when there’s nowhere safe to go?
How can a commitmentphobe fall for not one, but three different men? And, most
importantly, should New Zealanders kick people who call them Hobbits? (Yes.)
Taunt is a heart-stopping erotic thriller; chock full of science, nail-biting
suspense, period jokes and good old fashioned lust.The Heroine’s Relaxed Side
This heroine is at a
party. Considering her story, describe the party.The party would be an outdoors event hosted by Daniel’s
eco-terrorist organization Grassroots. It’s a chance to connect and unwind with
other members and there would be live music, plenty of food and drink and a
casual dress code.How does the heroine
feel about being this particular party, and what body language is she
displaying that gives it away?Daniel would be thrilled to attend, bouncing around trying
to talk with as many people as possible while trying to peer-pressure others
into getting loose and making mistakes. She never stops smiling or talking,
unless she’s kissing that is.Is she more likely to
mingle or remain aloof?Mingle. Daniel loves being around others and more often than
not, the center of attention.If she drinks, what is
her drink of choice at this party?Daniel doesn’t drink as her biochemistry doesn’t allow for
it. She is however, very partial to substances of dubious legality. Also weed.How much drink is her
usual?Weed. Or fruit juice in glasses that make it look like
alcohol.The heroine figures out
where the hiding places are and then goes there. Is it to hide, to avoid
someone, or to go drag a friend back to the party?It would completely be to drag a shy friend, perhaps a
scientist or socially awkward programmer back into the fray. Once they’d been
brought back to the party she’d make it her personal mission to get them drunk
and laid.Is she likely to latch
onto a friend and stay with him/her and ignore others, or is she the friend
that others latch onto?She is the friend that others latch onto; the bigger problem
can be maintaining her attention once you have it. Daniel is very distractible.If someone picked a fight
at this party, how is the heroine going to handle it?Daniel is, by her own admission, a lover not a fighter. As
Grassroots is a pacifist organization it would be kind of weird for a fight to
get out of hand at one of their parties, but if it did Daniel would probably
dump punch/cake on the offender’s heads and tell them to stop or she’d leak
their information to the Feds.Is the heroine the one
most likely to get tossed out of the party, or the one who does the tossing?Tossed out. For sure. No questions asked.Will she know when to
leave, or stay late and make a nuisance of herself?She will stay late as she possibly can (unless she picks
up). Being a nuisance is kind of Daniel’s wheelhouse.The Heroine’s Stressed Out Side
How does the heroine handle
it if the cops or some other authority figure pulls her aside when she was
blameless in a situation?Lies her ass off, says whatever she thinks they want to hear
then escapes at the earliest possible opportunity.How does the heroine react
to hearing a scream?Runs towards the sound without thinking.If she sees someone being
assaulted, what is the FIRST thing that crosses her mind?What the actual fuck? Stop it you butthole!If she sees someone
being assaulted, what is the FIRST thing she does?Runs towards them and tries to break them apart, unless she
knows she’ll likely be hurt and overpowered in which case she would call the
cops/throw something/ find an alternative plan of action.This heroine attempts
to rescue someone and realizes that she is in over her head. The odds are against
her and there is no way out. She is going to get her butt handed to her. What does
she do?Fights as hard as she can for as long as she can, giving
everything she has.The heroine runs into
the one person from her past she wanted to avoid. She can’t get out of the
situation and must interact with him/her in some way. What does she do?Barrels into the awkwardness and tries to overwhelm the
person with the sheer force of her personality.Someone younger than
the heroine is in charge of the situation, and they are handling it badly,
perhaps bungling things. How does the heroine deal with it?Tact isn’t Daniel’s strong point. She would tell the person
straight up that they’re screwing the pooch and either suggest improvements or
conduct a mutiny to get the situation resolved another way.The heroine is in
physical pain but must bear up under it and keep going. What does she tell herself
in order to get through the situation?Daniel has a rare chemical disorder that affects her ability
to feel physical pain, however she is capable of feeling distressed. In those
moments she closes her eyes and tries to focus on happy memories from the past.What mentor’s words
come to mind in a bad situation?She recalls John Blackwood, her lover, telling her to relax
and count her breaths, then she does it.Buy Taunt
