  • Paranormal,  Stressing the Hero

    Stressing the Hero from Stealing Hope a #ParanormalRomance by @FatedDragons #RLFblog

    Every hero has a story. He has a background, a history, and a past. This interview allows us to meet a hero and get to know him better, by focusing on how he handles being relaxed, as well as how he handles stress.

    Author Bio

    Beverly Ovalle dabbled with writing on and off for years when her best friend finally dared her to submit a story to a writing contest. Beverly decided she had nothing to lose and since she’d always wanted to be an author sent it in and agonized for months waiting to hear back. Contract in hand she has never looked back.

    Beverly has been obsessed with dragons and romance since she was a young girl, collecting dragon books and reading everything she could find on them even down to the care of real life dragons. She’s always been slightly panicked that the world as we know it will end, so has prepped for it, haunting survivalist pages and prepper projects she felt she needed in the event SHTF.
    An avid fan of all romance, Beverly’s goal is to share her love of the written word and write the hot and erotic romances that she enjoys. She writes what she loves to read and it was only a matter of time before her obsessions crept into her writing for her to share. She hopes you enjoy her tales as much as she loves writing them.
    A Navy Veteran, Beverly has traveled around the world and the United States enabling her to bring her settings to life, meeting and marrying her husband of twenty five years along the way for her own romance. Reading romances since the fourth grade she’s followed as the genre changed and spread into the vast cornucopia of romance offered today.

    About the Book

    Title Stealing Hope
    Genre erotic paranormal romance
    Book heat level (based on movie ratings): R
    The apocalypse has come and gone. 
    Those who survived learned to adapt. 
    Dragons awaken to once again reign over the skies. 
    Upon eruption of a volcano, Ari awakens to a changed world, and a knowing that his dragon’s mate is near. He saves her twice—once as a dragon, and again as a man—and wins her confidence. 
    Hope cried out, moaning, “just change me with pleasure?” 
    Hope is restless and unfulfilled until she meets Ari, the man of her fantasies. The sensual tension between them heightens with every touch. When their passion explodes, Hope gets pulled into the dragon’s mating ritual…and into a world of erotic sensation she never dreamed existed but now cannot live without. The dragon binds his mate to him with a ritual that shows Hope her true nature in this humorous erotic romance. 

    Stressing The Hero

    Every hero has a story. He has a background, a history, and a
    past. This interview allows us to meet a hero and get to know him better, by
    focusing on how he handles being relaxed, as well as how he handles stress.

    The Hero’s Relaxed Side

    This hero is at a
    party. Considering his story, describe the party.
    This would definitely be a hunting party. Survival is the
    main goal.
    How does the hero
    feel about being this particular party, and what body language is he displaying
    that gives it away?
    Ari is a bit impatient having to hunt as a human. If he was
    to go as his dragon, he’d be done and back in a quarter of the time. He checks
    over the weapons he is using, perhaps a bit more diligently than the men around
    him.
    Is he more likely to mingle
    or remain aloof?
    Ari would remain aloof, if he can manage it he’ll change to
    make hunting easier as long as he wouldn’t be found out. He has no desire to
    become hunted.
    If he drinks, what is
    his drink of choice at this party?
    Water is his drink of choice at the hunting party.
    How much drink is his
    usual?
    Ari will have a drink with his meal. Dragons don’t really
    indulge in anything that could expose them to humans.
    The hero 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?
    Ari will go there to indulge his curiosity to see if
    anything is hidden there, and to scope out the territory.
    Is he likely to latch
    onto a friend and stay with him/her and ignore others, or is he the friend that
    others latch onto?
    Ari draws others to him.
    If someone picked a fight at this party, how is the hero
    going to handle it?
    Ari would step in to stop it.
    Is the hero the one most
    likely to get tossed out of the party, or the one who does the tossing?
    Ari would be the one doing the tossing.
    Will he know when to leave,
    or stay late and make a nuisance of himself?
    Ari will stay until the goal of the party is done.

    The Hero’s Stressed Out Side

    How does the hero handle
    it if the cops or some other authority figure pulls him aside when he was
    blameless in a situation?
    Ari would grit his teeth and listen then try to explain.
    How does the hero react
    to hearing a scream?
    Ari runs toward it.
    If he sees someone being
    assaulted, what is the FIRST thing that crosses his mind?
    That he has to stop it.
    If he sees someone
    being assaulted, what is the FIRST thing he does?
    Ari steps in to stop it.
    This hero attempts to
    rescue someone and realizes that he is in over his head. The odds are against him
    and there is no way out. He is going to get his butt handed to him. What does he
    do?
    Ari does what he thinks is right, even if he gets his butt
    kicked.
    The hero runs into
    the one person from his past he wanted to avoid. He can’t get out of the
    situation and must interact with him/her in some way. What does he do?
    Ari keeps the contact to a minimum to accomplish what must
    be done.
    Someone younger than
    the hero is in charge of the situation, and they are handling it badly, perhaps
    bungling things. How does the hero deal with it?
    Ari will try to assist him or her, doing his best to correct
    it. He will step in to correct it if he has no choice and only if someone will
    be hurt.
    The hero is in
    physical pain but must bear up under it and keep going. What does he tell
    himself in order to get through the situation?
    He’s a dragon, he can do anything.
    What mentor’s words
    come to mind in a bad situation?
    Give it time, it will pass.
    What lesson from his
    past gets him through a stressful situation?
    The knowledge that no matter what, he has his family to
    stand behind him.

    Triple D Dude Ranch by Beverly Ovalle @ovalleba #RLFblog #cowboy

    Triple D Dude Ranch 
    Cover Love at Romance Lives Forever is a short intro to a
    book and includes a cover, blurb, buy links, and social media contacts for the
    author. Today’s featured book is Triple D Dude Ranch.
    Genre contemporary western romance
    Author Beverly Ovalle
    Book heat level (based on movie ratings): R
    Publisher Secret Cravings Publishing
    Blaire is a freelance photographer on assignment. She is heading
    home to Texas, armed with her camera to do a photo feature for the Tribune. Taking
    photos of the dude ranch, she gets an eyeful of an uninhibited cowboy through her
    lens. The summer heat of Texas has nothing on the heat he generates in her.
    Dan was expecting a photographer but not the sexy urban cowgirl
    that arrived. He knew it was hot out, he just hadn’t expected the hot and sexy woman
    to make him burn the minute he caught sight of her. One look and he had to quench
    this fire inside.
    One touch between Dan and Blaire sparks a wildfire that burns
    hotter than the Texas summer and is just as hard to put out.

    Character Interview: Corporal Nicholas ‘Saint’ Santiago @ovalleba #RLFblog #contemporary

    A Saint’s Salvation

    About the Book

    Title A Saint’s Salvation
    Genre Contemporary Romance
    Author Beverly Ovalle

    Interview with ‘Saint’, Corporal Nicholas Santiago

    Tell us about yourself,
    please.
    I’m Saint, at least that’s what my buddies call me. My family
    calls me Nick or Nico, depending on who it is. I’m having a bit of trouble remembering
    who I am. I’ve seen too much of war. I’m a lovable kind of guy, hot, funny and irresistible.
    I love to prank my buddies and I’m loyal. I live the Marine motto Semper fidelis.
    There is one thing, one person I want that I cannot have.
    What is it that you want,
    but cannot have? Authors call this the conflict of the story.
    I want Doc, but she rebuffs my every move and won’t answer my
    letters and IM’s. For god’s sakes I leaped in front of a grenade to save her life!
    What’s your internal limitation?
    Meaning, what is it about you that makes it so you cannot do what it is you need
    to do during this story?
    Ah, I cannot make my angel love me. Everyone else yes, but not
    her.
    What inner doubt causes
    you the most difficulty?
    I have to wonder what is wrong with me. My high school sweetheart
    dumped me and my angel isn’t interested. I know I’ve changed and I want to recapture
    who I was. I’ve seen too much and need to find my feet again.
    What’s your external complication?
    In the story world your author created, explain what it is you fear most.
    I fear not being able to feel joy again. I’m afraid I’ll always
    be trapped in the darkness of the world I’ve seen.
    Tell us about your significant
    other, that person who makes living worthwhile.
    That would be my angel, Doc. Petty Officer Jones. She made me
    realize that no matter what, there is a bright side. She faced a whole change to
    her world and could still see the bright side, was still finding joy in the world
    around her.
    What would that person
    say about you?
    That I was aggravating. That I liked to tease her.
    What is your family like?
    My family is great. They embrace and accept me, make me feel
    loved and special. They help refocus my life by their acceptance. They remind me
    of why I’m doing what I do.
    What special skills do
    you rely on?
    The skills the Marine Corps has taught me. If I didn’t have those,
    I might not have saved my angel. And my charm of course. *grins*
    If someone from your past
    showed up, who would you NOT want it to be, and why?
    My high school sweetheart. I’ll face her in my own time, not
    hers. She broke my heart.
    Are you happy with the
    way your story ended? Why or why not?
    Definitely! The saint got his angel. She is everything I want.

    About the Writer

    Why did you choose to write about this character?
    It was more of a catharsis, I’m not sure that I had ever planned on finishing it, as Saint has the personality of my son. He joined the Marines and I was missing my buddy, especially when he was deployed to Afghanistan. When he returned from deployment I could separate the two and it took on a life of its own.
    Why do you write?
    It makes me happy.
    What do you want to write next?
    I want to finish the dragon stories I’m working on.
    What other character from this book do you want to write about?
    Alejandro. Care to tell us why? He’s as much of a charming rogue as Saint is. I like that.
    Are any sequels planned for this book?
    Yes. I’ve actually started two, starring Saint’s primos (cousins) Lee and Alejandro.
    Is there anything you’d like to say to your readers?
    I love to hear from my readers. What you enjoyed, what you didn’t. I have made changes based on feedback when I worked on my next book. I actually have one who has given me an idea for another book. But I told him I have to finish the ones I’ve started first.
