    Genre Historical Romance
    Author Heather Boyd
    Book heat level (based on movie ratings): Mature Audience
    Richard Hill, the Earl of Windermere, might desperately
    require a wife and heir, but thoughts of duty fly from his mind when he rescues
    Esme, Lady Heathcote, from the embarrassment of a failed affair. They usually
    never agree about anything. He’s never even kissed the vexing widow. But when
    the opportunity arises to whisk her away for a no-strings-attached rendezvous,
    Richard can’t imagine a better way to spend a moonlit evening.
    Esme has never lacked for admirers, but having Lord Windermere’s
    company goes a long way to ease the pain of losing her suddenly betrothed
    lover. And when Windermere suggests an affair, Esme is intrigued by the
    blazing-hot connection even while knowing their relationship has no future
    beyond his house party.
    But as with any temptation, it’s a bargain they’ll soon
    regret.

    A Knight for Kallen @LaurenLinwood #RLFblog #medievalromance #RLFblog

    Lauren Linwood author of A Knight for Kallen answers five easy
    questions to help readers get to know her better.

    Author Bio

    Lauren Linwood’s historical romances use history as a backdrop to place her characters in extraordinary circumstances, where their intense desire for one another grows into the treasured gift of love. Her romantic suspense novels feature strong heroes and heroines who unite to defeat a clever antagonist and discover a deep, abiding love during their journey.
    A native Texan, Lauren is an avid reader, moviegoer, and sports fan who manages stress by alternating yoga with long walks. She plans to start a support group for House Hunters addicts—as soon as she finishes her next piece of dark chocolate.
    What’s your favorite down-home
    family style meal?
    I’ve got to go old school here—meatloaf, mashed potatoes,
    and green beans. And a brownie accompanied by a scoop of ice cream would
    certainly top things off right!
    What is your go-to meal
    when you dine out?
    Tex-Mex is my favorite, but if I can stick some shrimp
    inside those enchiladas? Magic!
    Describe the perfect vacation.
    I love a mix of sightseeing and relaxation. I had a friend
    who just completed this same vacation, and I think I’d like to copy her. She and
    her husband flew to London with another couple and did tons of sightseeing, and
    then they did a walking tour through the Cotswolds. Their luggage was sent
    ahead each morning, and they walked about 10 miles a day for 4 days, taking
    their time to see the countryside and stop in at local pubs along the way.
    Tell us about your
    favorite toy as a child.
    It has to be my blue bicycle. I would jump on it and be
    transported to another world. I felt independent and free when I rode it.
    When you read for pleasure,
    what kind of books do you choose?
    I crave thrillers! Especially if they have a twist of
    history in them. Steve Berry and Brad Meltzer are great about mixing those two
    things into an action-packed thrill ride.

    About the Book

    Title: A Knight for Kallen
    Genre: medieval historical romance
    Author: Lauren Linwood
    Book heat level (based on movie ratings):PG13
    Kallen de Mangeron grew up in a convent, her noble family
    never knowing of her birth. When a new Mother Superior informs them of her
    existence, they send trusted knight Griffith Sommersby to escort her home.
    Griffith’s heart broke when he lost his wife and infant son
    during childbirth, and he’s kept his feelings locked away from the world—until
    he meets Kallen. He soon learns her dark secret—that she sees auras around
    people—which allows her insight into their actions and personalities.
    Now Quentin, bastard brother to the king, decides to harness
    Kallen’s gift in a plot to win the throne. Will Quentin successfully use a
    kidnapped Kallen as his political pawn, or will Griffith be able to stop him
    before Kallen changes the course of England’s history?

    A husband for Christmas?

    Mitch Weston’s back in Cowboy Creek, and self-proclaimed matchmaker

    Jaine Andersen from Fooling Around With Cinderella by @stacyjuba #RLFblog #chicklit

    Stacy Juba shares details about the creation of Jaine
    Andersen in the book Fooling Around With Cinderella.

    About the Book

    Title Fooling Around With Cinderella
    Genre Chick Lit/Sweet Romance
    Author Stacy Juba
    Book heat level (based on movie ratings): PG13
    What happens when the
    glass slippers pinch Cinderella’s toes?
    When Jaine Andersen proposes a new marketing role to the
    local amusement park, general manager Dylan Callahan charms her into filling
    Cinderella’s glass slippers for the summer. Her reign transforms Jaine’s
    ordinary life into chaos that would bewilder a fairy godmother. Secretly dating
    her bad boy boss, running wedding errands for her ungrateful sisters, and
    defending herself from the park’s resident villain means Jaine needs lots more
    than a comfy pair of shoes to restore order in her kingdom. First in the
    Storybook Valley series, a blend of sweet romance, chick lit, and fairy tale
    fun. 

    Introducing Jaine Andersen

    Name: Jaine Andersen
    Age: 25
    Gender: Female
    Birthplace: Catskills of NY
    Profession: Eager marketing coordinator for a theme
    park/temporary and very reluctant Cinderella
    Ethnicity/Species (if not human): Human
    Describe his/her body build, skin tone, height and weight.
    Include any unique features such as dimples, freckles, or scars: Sandy caramel
    hair that can’t decide whether it is brown or blonde, blue eyes, and glasses.
    Slender, but didn’t quite fit into the outfit she wanted to wear on her job
    interview.
    Who is the significant
    other in your character’s life?
    Dylan Callahan
    Tell us about this
    character, please.
    Dylan is the general manager of the Storybook Valley Theme
    Park and recently hired Jaine for a marketing position, and to assist with a
    Cinderella crisis. A former ski instructor, he has a reputation as a bad boy
    heartbreaker. He never showed much interest in his family’s theme park in the
    past, and has a lot to prove. Dylan tries to fight his attraction to Jaine so
    that he can focus on business.
    How does your hero
    dress?
    While working as Cinderella, she wears a ball gown so puffy
    that helium could have inflated it. Gleaming pearls and silver thread embroider
    the rich gold. She also wears a blonde Gibson Girl wig and a tiara.
    How educated is this
    character?
    She has a bachelor’s degree in marketing.
    What is your
    character’s family like?  
    She has two annoying sisters, twins Bree and Shauna. Bree is
    a high-powered attorney and Bridezilla with an upcoming wedding. Shauna, a
    divorced single mom, relies on Jaine for babysitting. In fact, the twins rely
    on Jaine for all their errands. 
    If someone from your
    character’s past showed up, who would he most NOT want it to be, and why?
    Someone from her past does show up, an old high school rival
    named Gabrielle Allaire. Gabrielle always bested Jaine in high school, whether
    it was getting a higher grade on a test, landing a college scholarship, or
    winning a class office. Now she works in a leadership role at the theme park
    and acts as if she has authority over Jaine. 
    Can your hero keep a
    secret (why or why not)?
    Her biggest secret is that she is helping out as Cinderella
    for a few months, before assuming a full-time marketing position. The park has
    had a string of bad luck with Cinderellas and Dylan is tired of fooling around
    with Cinderella. Jaine’s sisters would make fun of her if they knew so she
    keeps it a secret from her family.  So
    yes, she is extremely good at keeping secrets.
    What inner doubt
    causes your character the most difficulty?  
    She always takes care of everyone else, putting their needs
    before her own. She fears that focusing on her own needs is selfish.
    What is your hero’s biggest
    hopes and dreams?  
    To become marketing director of the theme park and to live
    happily ever after with Dylan.
    What is your hero’s
    breaking point?  
    When she is sabotaged at work, and her reputation is in the
    gutter.
    What is the hardest
    part about playing Cinderella?
    Having kids wipe sticky ice cream hands on my dress,
    teenagers who ask me stupid questions for You Tube videos, and aching feet from
    the glass slippers.
    Who is your closest
    friend at Storybook Valley?
    Krystal, the wardrobe supervisor. Krystal amuses me as she
    also likes to dress up as Red Riding Hood. She wears a Red Riding Hood costume
    to work. Voluntarily.
    What kind of training
    went into playing Cinderella?
    Dylan’s grandmother was obsessed with making me the perfect
    Cinderella. I had to learn to master Cinderella’s signature, practice a proper
    princess wave, get used to always staying in character, and watch Audrey
    Hepburn movies to absorb the regal way she carried herself.

    About Your Writer

    Why do you think your
    writer chose to write about you?  
    She has spent a lot of years writing murder mysteries. They
    are intriguing whodunnits, but I think Stacy felt like writing about something
    more cheerful, hence a theme park Cinderella.
    What do you wish your
    writer had not told others about you?
    I wish she hadn’t mentioned the difficulties of using the
    toilet in a ball gown.
    What other character
    from your book do you think your writer should write a book about, and why?
    I know she is working on a book about Rory, Dylan’s sister,
    who is named Aurora after Sleeping Beauty. I think she should also write about
    my friends Krystal and Tiara, as a start. I also want her to write a short
    story leading up to how Dylan got himself into such a princess problem.
    Why do you think your
    writer loves to write?  
    She has always been on the quiet side, and writing has been
    a way for her to express herself since she was a child. Stacy also loves to
    read – she is obsessed with books.
    Is there anything
    you’d like to say to your writer?  
    I had so much fun appearing in this book and I can’t wait to
    return to Storybook Valley as a supporting character in Prancing Around With
    Sleeping Beauty and the other books in the series.

    one box set.
    Quinn and Xindra learn from their near-disastrous wedding night
    and design a course to teach other interracial couples about the sexual practices

    and definitely steamy.

    falls for Sex Ed student Trett. As an Ibration, Trett doesn’t thrust during sex.
    His penis vibrates.
    Katra and Krux snipe at each other until they land in bed, where
    Krux’s four arms come in handy.

    is the perfect sex therapy.
    Four-armed Valene is madly in love with Apax, but making a mixed-race
    relationship work is tough. Can these lovers negotiate a life together, or are their
