    Title Bringer of Chaos, the Origin of Pietas
    Genre: YA (older young adult), action adventure, science fiction, space opera, military science fiction, space marine, genetic engineering
    Author Kayelle Allen
    Book heat level (based on movie ratings): PG
    Two enemy warriors: one human, one immortal. Different in belief, alike in spirit, marooned together on an alien world.
    Imprisoned and in isolation over a year without food or water, the immortal Pietas survives. Though broken in body, his intellect and will are intact, thanks to Six, the special ops warrior who captured him, but kept him sane. The warrior had no hand in his deprivation and, like Pietas, was betrayed by his own kind. When Pietas is abandoned on an alien world with nothing but his honor–and Six–he must find and rejoin other immortal exiles. After centuries of war, Pietas detests humans and kills them on sight, but he is too damaged to continue on his own. Though he despises needing help, he allows Six to nurture and restore him to full strength, and then accompany him. As they cross the planet together on foot, the immortal begins to wonder if he has found his first human friend, or if Six is loyal only because Pietas could keep the others from tearing him to shreds. This human will either be his closest living friend, or the one whose betrayal will trigger all-out vengeance by the most powerful immortal ever born.
    Immortal. Warrior. Outcasts. Traitors took everything. Except their honor.

    From Jennifer Loring’s No One on Earth ~ Erukkass has located his deceased lover in another dimension and refuses to leave without him. Jon, grieving a devastating loss, turns to the native legend of Handsome Fellow for comfort. When he and Erukkass meet, can they forge a future together, or will two timelines that have always intersected, no matter when or where, finally be forced to diverge?  
    From Merryn Dexter’s Conjunction ~ The mystical Conjunction of the moons of Elexon sets two men on a collision course. A pirate and a prince — nothing in common but the attraction burning between them. What starts as a fling soon grows serious, but a relationship built on a foundation of secrets and constructed from lies is no relationship at all.
    From B. Leslie Tirrell’s Arizona Impulse ~ Ambassador Kallell Tezak, the youngest member of the Galaxy Alliance, overhears two of his fellow ambassadors conspiring to take control of the device that protects the galaxy from famine. Kallell knows it is his duty to stop them, but he also wants to enjoy his favorite holiday, Genzebe, and summon the bravery to confess his love for the shy and serious Esten Lazzaro, who happens to be Kallell’s second in command.
    From Kerry Adrienne and Lia Davis’s First Contact ~ Fugitive Tristan Hawthorne escapes imprisonment only to crash-land on an unidentified, uncharted planet where he faces an alien who stirs passions he thought were long buried. With one working ship and a failing planetary cloaking device, it’s a short time until humans discover Oria and Tristan is recaptured. Under the starry, moonlit sky of the holiday Jainfest, the men learn to overcome their feelings of fear and distrust, and wind up finding out they aren’t so different after all.

    Gilding Lillian by @DawnMarie55555 #RLFblog #romance

    Cover Love includes a cover, blurb, buy links, and social media contacts for the author. Today’s featured book is Gilding Lillian by DawnMarie Richards.

    About the Book

    Title Gilding Lillian
    Genre Contemporary Romance
    Author DawnMarie Richards
    Book heat level (based on movie ratings): R
    Griffin Bennett returns to his childhood home unprepared.
    Despite his long absence, he learns he has been named the sole heir to the
    fortunes of two venerated Bostonian families. Possibly even more disturbing is
    his reaction to his father’s widow, a stunning woman whose mere presence
    provokes vivid images of sex in wildflower meadows. 
    Lillian Gustave Milton Bennett has always enjoyed men, even
    marrying a select few. But when circumstances conspire to keep her in the
    family home with her deceased husband’s estranged son, a mutual sexual
    attraction becomes an unwelcome complication. She resists, but it becomes clear
    the most efficient way to exorcise the man, and his odd effect, from her psyche
    is to sleep with him. 
    Griffin is well aware Lillian wants nothing more than to
    work him out of her system, but in a few short weeks his feelings for her have
    grown from the primitive to the sublime. Realizing her next husband awaits,
    Griffin struggles to make her understand. But for Lillian, love is an excess,
    an unnecessary construct, and Griffin’s heartfelt declarations are not enough
    to make her stay. 
    Content Notes: Spicy, Contemporary

    About the Book

    Title: Removing the Layers (Under the Mask Boxed Set)

    Genre: Contemporary Romance
    Author: Nicole Morgan
    Book heat level: R 
    Olivia “Livie” Maitland just passed her one year anniversary since her new lease on life began. On the outside she looked like a completely different woman, but on the inside she was still very much that shy introvert that felt more like the awkward wall flower, then the woman that everyone else seemed to see.
    Jake Olson had been watching Livie from the moment he met her nearly two years earlier. Though he’d tried more than once to strike up conversations with her in an attempt to ask her out, his efforts were often met with her polite, yet obvious avoidance.
    When their boss invites them all to a weekend masquerade party at his island retreat, Jake decides to take matters into his own hands and find a way to break through Livie’s nearly impenetrable defensive walls.
    He just needs one night, one chance.
    He needs her.

    Breakwater a new #paranormalromance by @errinstevens #RLFblog

    This quick interview includes info about the author, and introduces the story.
    About the Author
    Errin Stevens writes from her home in St. Paul, Minnesota, where she lives with her husband and son.
    Interview with Errin Stevens
    Why did you write this book?
    Breakwater is a sequel to my first book, Updrift, and I had more character stories to tell!
    What is your favorite genre to read?
    I’m an omnivore, truly – I read everything from trade romance to literary fiction. I even read a little (very little) nonfiction!
    Who is your favorite character from fiction (not including your own)?
    Elizabeth Bennet from Pride and Prejudice. She’s clever and forthright and has a beautiful energy.
    What are you working on at the moment, and will see from you in coming months?
    I’m working on the third book in this series, Outrush. I hope (worry?) I’ll finish it in time to release late 2017.
    Please tell us about your latest book.
    The sirens of Griffins Bay are in trouble, and the recent slew of royal suicides looks to be the least of their worries.
    For one, unless a blood relative of the queen shows up, no one’s around to staff the monarchy. Well, except for a whack-job bureaucrat and he seriously won’t do. Worse is the community unrest threatening siren society, a problem caused by too many humans in the pool, which means Simon and his off-limit girlfriend will have to run and hide if they want to make more of their flirtation… 
    The solution doesn’t inspire confidence at first, but the Blakes have everything at hand to set their world to rights – namely, a hidden queen, a dead prince, and a facility for human manipulation. Once they find their sea legs, they’ll restore order, distribute smartphones, and drive that conniving bureaucrat to a grisly, satisfying end.

    Luke’s Redemption new #RomanticSuspense @AnniFifeAuthor #RLFblog

    Luke’s Redemption is a new romantic suspense read by Anni Fife.
    About the Author
    Anni Fife closed the door on a successful career in television, to fulfill her lifelong passion, writing. In the space of one month, she shut her business, packed up her city life, and moved to a small seaside village to begin her new life…as an author. Luke’s Redemption is Anni’s debut novel. She hopes you enjoy reading it as much as she loved writing it. Anni loves to spend hours walking on the beach searching for pansy shells, more hours drinking red wine with her gal posse, and the most hours writing steamy romance novels filled with hot alpha men and the sassy intelligent women they can’t live without. She is currently working on her second novel, Gray’s Promise.
    Anni is published by The Wild Rose Press, and is a member of Romance Writers of America (RWA).
    Interview with Anni Fife
    Why did you write this book?
    I began writing Luke’s Redemption in June last year. It was one month after I left the city for the beach, and changed my life forever. It was also the first book I had ever written, or even attempted to write. I was able to stave off my panic because my basic plot came easy. The idea came flowing into my head a few nights before my departure. It was around midnight. I don’t know what triggered my creative juices, but suddenly I could hear Katya’s footsteps beating a desperate rhythm down a dark cobble-stoned road in the early hours of the morning. It was dead quiet. New Orleans was hung over from Mardi Gras. As I watched her, I realized I was looking through the scope of a sniper lens. Was I her hunter or her hero? Or both? My story unfurled at such a rapid pace I was terrified I’d fall asleep, and when I woke my idea, like an elusive dream, would be gone. In a mad spin, I spent the next hour typing manically on my iPhone. When I turned off the light, I had the beginnings of my novel. The next time I looked at it was one month later, when I sat down to write.
    I wrote Luke’s Redemption for my own tastes. So if you like contemporary erotic romances with a lot of angst and some suspense; hot alpha heroes with damage; smart sassy heroines, also with some damage; and burning chemistry that drives lots of conflict, and even more heat—then why don’t you give this story a go?
    What is your favorite genre to read?
    I love mainstream fiction and thrillers, but my favorite leisure genre is Romance. I find that our world is an increasingly challenging place to live in, and we are surrounded by so many NOT happily ever afters. One of my favorite escapes is to soak in a bath or stretch out by the pool, and lose myself in a world of steamy romance, unpredictable  suspense, and a guaranteed HEA. This gets even better when it’s my job to choose the hot alpha male, the sassy intelligent gal, the break-ups, the make-ups…. you get the picture.
    Who is your favorite character from fiction (not including your own)?
    I’m sorry but I’m going to have to cheat on this question—because Luke Hunter is my favorite character. I think he will always be my favorite because he’s the alpha hero of my first novel. I created him in the image of Chris Hemsworth’s Thor character, so what is not to love? Besides his panty-melting looks, he is also a man who feels deeply and loves with an all-consuming intensity. The abuse and loss he suffered in his early years, shapes the man he has become. He has a singular focus which makes him a superior sniper in the military, and his protective instincts are through the roof. Luke is potently sexy, and has no problem using what nature blessed him with to his benefit. But when confronted with Katya’s pain and fear, we discover he has a depth of emotional intelligence that will bring you to tears. Well, it brings me to tears every time I read it!
    What are you working on at the moment, and what will we see from you in the coming months?
    I’m delighted to report that I’m nearly finished Gray’s Promise, book two in my King Security Series. (Luke’s Redemption is Book One.) It’s set in New York and Denton, Texas. Grayson Walker is Luke’s best friend, and he’s a deadly charmer. Zoey Morgan is his one-and-only. Torn apart by horrific tragedy, Gray and Zoey still carry the emotional scars fourteen years later. We follow their fraught reconciliation, and the unknown evil stalking them. Their journey is filled with pain, and a heart-wrenching beauty. And, of course, sexual chemistry so scorching it still gets me in a hot sweat when I think about it. I hope to release Gray’s Promise by June 2017.
    Please tell us about your latest book.
    Red-hot sex. Searing betrayal. A passionate and elusive love…
    Chased by her criminal kingpin father, Katya Dalca runs to New Orleans and straight into the arms of Luke Hunter. Sucked into the carnal world of the French Quarter, she succumbs to Luke’s potent sexuality. He not only steals her breath, he steals her heart, and the only leverage she has against her father. She’s left with no choice but to pick up the pieces and rebuild her life alone.
    Undercover DEA agent Luke Hunter thought his newest assignment—recover a stolen flash drive to gain the trust of the Russian mob—was like any other. But his target brings him to his knees, and after one taste of her intoxicating beauty, he’s in too deep. Doing his job means walking away, leaving his heart behind with nothing but a promise to reunite. It’s a promise he can’t keep.
    When Katya’s past reaches out and her world unravels, her only hope is the one man she is most vulnerable to—Luke.
