    What is your go-to meal
    when you dine out?
    Well, that depends on where I am!
    If I’m at a Mexican restaurant, it’s Spinach Enchiladas.
    Love those things. YUM! If I’m at a seafood restaurant, it’ll probably be
    shrimp and oysters. Or if in season, I might get some crawfish. At a sushi
    joint, I’ll definitely be ordering the New York roll. Oh my god, those things
    are good!

    Sun, sand, palm trees, clear blue water, iguanas walking

    Tell us about your
    favorite toy as a child.
    Toads, tadpoles, rocks, trees… Haha. I was a tomboy as a
    kid. But, actual toys? Um…Oh, I know. I had a Merlin. Does anyone else remember
    those?
    When you read for pleasure,
    what kind of books do you choose?
    I pretty much stick with Urban Fantasy, Paranormal Romance,
    and Contemporary Romance. I occasionally deviate, but Paranormal tops the list
    for sure.

    Cordelia is a demon hunter in training. Passing her final
    test will allow her the freedom to celebrate her first Christmas, but one demon
    stands in her way. As much as she tries to fight it, to convince herself he
    repulses her, her body comes alive, betraying her, each time he’s near.
    Argoth, a sex demon, is locked in a cell, used as a punching
    bag for the demon hunter trainees. The only thing he looks forward to is his
    training sessions with Cordelia. The first time her fist connects with his
    face, he knows she’s different and that he has to have her, to save her, to
    make her his.
    When Argoth’s truth turns Cordelia’s world upside down, will
    she give in to her desires or run for her life?

    5 Easy Questions: Amy Boyles Rendered @amyboylesauthor #RLFblog #dystopianromance

    Rendered 
    Amy Boyles author of Rendered answers five easy questions to
    help readers get to know her better.

    Author
    Bio

    After living in Chicago, Louisville and New York,
    Amy finally settled in North Alabama with her husband. Along with writing, she has
    a passion for cooking ridiculously fattening food and complaining about weight gain.
    She loves to connect with readers.
    What’s your favorite down-home
    family style meal?
    I’m from the South and
    though neither of my parents are from the area, they relocated us here when I was
    five. However, it wasn’t until I was well into my twenties that I started eating
    the down-home food. My favorite meal, without exception, would have to be Turkey
    or Chicken and Cornbread dressing. Dear Lord. If you’ve never had cornbread dressing,
    you haven’t lived. Seriously. I’ve made it enough times that I don’t use a recipe
    anymore, but if you’ve never made it and you love to eat—find a recipe and try it.
    Hopefully, you’ll thank me for the recommendation.
    What is your go-to meal
    when you dine out?
    Dining out? What’s that?
    I have a toddler and am expecting another child, so I don’t get to do that anymore!
    That question just depresses me. Just kidding. If I remember correctly, my go-to
    meal used to be Chicken Tikka Masala at just about any Indian restaurant. I love
    it. From what I understand, it’s not an authentic Indian meal, but seriously it’s
    so freakin’ good it makes me happy just to think about it. Eating some of that with
    warm naan bread and I’m in heaven. At least for the twenty or so minutes it’ll take
    me to eat it.
    Who is your “book
    boyfriend” (that hottie you read about and drool over)?
    This is such an easy question!
    Hands down, my book boyfriend is Daemon Sadie from Anne Bishop’s The Black Jewels
    Trilogy. If you’d asked me this maybe three years ago I would’ve said Richard Rahl
    from the Sword of Truth series because there’s something honest in his altruism.
    But once I read Daughter
    of the Blood and experienced the raw pain and deep suffering of Sadie, I was absolutely
    won over. His character undergoes such an incredible arc over the span of that book
    —from practically broken and brooding to being someone full of wondrous joy. It’s
    an awesome journey to have been a part of. And he’s so sexy! It’s not even overt—he
    simply is. Oh! And he’s dangerous, too! I wouldn’t want to cross paths with him.
    If you’ve never read the book. Go. Buy. It. Now. Sadie is worth every cent.
    Tell us about your favorite
    toy as a child.
    Ok, so I had this Wonder
    Woman doll that I loved. Adored. I also had Wonder Woman underoos (aging myself,
    I know) that I wore as a bathing suit. Why? Because I loved them. No, I didn’t care
    that they were underwear. They signified Wonder Woman, and that was all that mattered.
    Anyhoo, I had this Wonder
    Woman doll. Loved her…and then I lost her. I don’t know where. I probably left her
    in a store or a bathroom or something. But I remember that I dreamed about getting
    another doll because I adored her so much. I dreamt that I received this gift at
    Christmas. Funny thing is, I don’t remember if I ever got another doll, all I remember
    is I lost her and then dreamed I got her back. Ha! That’s sort of the story of a
    romance novel, isn’t it? Two people come together, then something keeps them from
    each other and then they wind up together in the end. Amen to that.
    When you read for pleasure,
    what kind of books do you choose?
    I’ll read anything. Mostly.
    I read romance—contemporary, historical, whatever catches my eye, but I mainly just
    want a great story. Something that takes me for a ride. I think that’s why I read
    a lot of fantasy. I want to live in a world and become part of it, learn how the
    magic works and be surprised by the twists and turns that great fantasy writers
    throw into their novels.
    What I don’t read a lot
    of is crime/mystery/suspense. Not because I don’t like it, but because I’m not as
    familiar with the genre. By all means, if any readers have suggestions for great
    books in those categories, throw them my way. I’d love to have more books to fill
    my Kindle.

    About
    the Book

    Title Rendered (A Dark
    Revolution Novella – Book Two)
    Genre Romance, dystopian
    Author Amy Boyles
    Book heat level (based
    on movie ratings): R
    Ten years ago, Drian Becker underwent the Rendering, a humiliating body
    exam imposed upon the masses by her father, a commander in the Patriot Army. Being
    a high ranking official’s daughter, Drian thought she was safe from the practice—not
    so. Her father’s betrayal left her emotionally scarred and dishonored.
    It’s now 2098. Drian hasn’t thought about the Rendering since she became
    leader of a rebel faction—mostly because she’s an expert at hiding her feelings
    behind a thick outer wall of badass attitude.
    All that changes when Colvin Hinton walks into her camp. With his easy
    swagger and even easier demeanor, Colvin makes being a rebel look good enough to
    taste. But when Drian finds herself tangled in his charms she lets down her guard,
    giving an old enemy the chance to take her out once and for all.
    If loving a man is this dangerous, would Drian have been better off remaining
    in the clutches of her father and living with the scars of being Rendered?

    Barbara White Daille Cowboy’s Little Surprise @BarbaraWDaille #RLFblog #cowboys

    Barbara White Daille author of The Cowboy’s Little Surprise answers
    five easy questions to help readers get to know her better.

    Author Bio

    Barbara White Daille lives with her husband in the sunny U.S.
    Southwest, where they don’t mind the lizards in their front yard but could do without
    the scorpions in the bathroom.
    A writer from the age of nine and a novelist since eighth grade,
    Barbara is now an award-winning author with a number of novels to her credit.
    The first book in The Hitching Post Hotel series, The Cowboy’s
    Little Surprise, debuts in April 2015, followed by A Rancher of Her Own in July
    and an as-yet-untitled book in December.
    When you read for pleasure,
    what kind of books do you choose?
    Romance, romantic suspense, mystery. Sometimes YA. Whatever it
    is, I like something with a romantic relationship in it.
    What’s your favorite down-home
    family style meal?
    Pot roast with carrots, potatoes, onions, and brown gravy, with
    plenty of everything for leftovers. Yum!
    What is your go-to meal
    when you dine out?
    Really, Alaskan King crab legs, but since they’re pricey, I only
    do that if we’re celebrating something special. On a regular night out, anything
    Italian—lasagna, baked ziti, stuffed shells. A salad on the side. A full bread basket
    with warm olive oil and herbs. My only regret is most Italian restaurants don’t
    serve brownies or chocolate cake!
    Describe the perfect vacation.
    A condo near a beach, where we could take long walks at night,
    view the stars and listen to the surf. Nearby, there would have to be good restaurants,
    an ice cream parlor, and a shop that sold decadent chocolate desserts. And of course,
    I’d have to have access to many quiet, comfortable spots where I could curl up with
    a book.
    Tell us about your favorite
    toy as a child.
    My favorite toy was a book. I don’t mean to “cheat,”
    but I wasn’t into much of anything else. I spent all my free time reading—and wish
    I could still do that now. A book was always at the top of my list when anyone asked
    what I wanted for my birthday or Christmas, and I loved loved LOVED getting the
    next Bobbsey Twins or Nancy Drew or Trixie Belden in the series.

    The Rebel’s Redemption 

    Jacquie Biggar author of The Rebel’s Redemption answers five
    easy questions to help readers get to know her better.

    Author Bio

    From the time Jacquie was twelve years old, she knew she wanted
    to be a writer. That year she wrote a short story called Count Daffodil after spending
    countless hours searching for ideas. The story garnered Jacquie an A and was read
    aloud through the school’s loudspeaker system. Needless to say, after that she was
    hooked.
    Jacquie grew up, got married, raised a family and left her writing
    urges to simmer in the background unattended.
    She owned and operated a successful diner in her hometown for
    a number of wonderful years before deciding to live her dream of becoming an author.
    Jacquie’s first book, Tidal Falls, a romantic suspense novel
    about second chances, released September of 2014.
    What’s your favorite down-home
    family style meal?
    I love cooking a pot roast with roasted potatoes, onions, turnips,
    carrots, and maybe Yorkshire pudding.
    Who is your “book
    boyfriend” (that hottie you read about and drool over)?
    At the moment it’s Jim Heron from J.R. Ward’s Fallen Angel series.
    He’s trying to save the world one soul at a time in a deadly game against his arch
    enemy Devina. If you haven’t tried them yet, you should. Awesome series.
    What’s your favorite hashtag
    to watch on Twitter?
    That’s easy, #1lineWed @KissOfDeath There’s a different topic
    each Wednesday where you’re welcome to post a line from a WIP. No buy links.
    Describe the perfect vacation.
    I’m living it. We recently moved to Victoria, Vancouver Island,
    Canada. It’s amazing. Ocean, mountains, ancient Cedars, friendly people, and a relaxed
    lifestyle, it doesn’t get much better.
    When you read for pleasure,
    what kind of books do you choose?
    I love romance of any kind. My favorites are military style romantic
    suspense.

    Miss Artemisia Germayne is used to gossip. She is far from

    she finds herself in the uncomfortable predicament of abandonment on her

    Nigel Rochefort, second son of the Earl of Monfort, has
    always taken his good fortune for granted, so when the woman for whom he has a

    affections. As he gives chase, many truths are yet to be learned. This is no

    Describe the perfect vacation.
    I get to take the perfect vacation every year. The husband and
    I rent a small cabin and spend an entire week on a lake. There’s no cell phone reception,
    no television, no laptop. It’s just us having a ton of fun and relaxing as we escape
    the insanity of day-to-day life. We may or may not be competitive about the actual
    fishing part.
    Tell us about your favorite
    toy as a child.
    Outside. I know, that’s not very exciting but I enjoyed playing
    outdoors using my imagination. I grew up on a family farm and played with my cousin
    daily. I was usually Spiderman and he was a random bad guy. I don’t know how I managed
    not to get impaled by rusty metal while “scaling” barrels and anything
    else I could find.
    What are your hobbies?
    Fishing remains my most favorite hobby. It has been an excellent
    skill to teach my daughter and try to teach my son ( who doesn’t care how to tie
    a proper fisherman’s knot.) I also really enjoy gardening. Next to making babies,
    it’s the best way to create life.
