    Love and Honor

    Genre: medieval historical romance
    Book heat level (based on movie ratings): PG-13
    1385 A.D. – Knighted on the battlefield for extreme bravery, Edward de Montfort accepts an invitation to serve in King Richard’s guard at the royal court. When the king sends him on a covert mission to Canterbury, Edward hopes success will allow him to win his freedom so he can return home to a quieter life.
    Lady Rosalyne Parry loses her parents when she is an infant and is raised by her uncle, an artist of some renown. Due to his failing health, Rosalyne takes over Templeton Parry’s commissions, painting in secret while permitting him to receive the credit since she believes no one would accept a woman as an artist.
    Rosalyne meets Edward while he is disguised as a peasant working on Canterbury’s wall, and they fall deeply in love. When Edward reveals his true identity to Rosalyne, he convinces her to come to London—and step out from the shadows in order to become recognized as an artist in her own right.
    Join Edward and Rosalyne as they navigate the political waters at court and find a deep, abiding love.

    Olivia Night, a fictional character herself, has always been an avid reader and writer. She found the romance genre in college and has never been able to get enough. One sleepless night, the main characters of Book One in her Men of FTI series sprang from her head fully formed. They demanded she tell their story; so she did. As they revealed themselves, so did two other intriguing characters. Those characters convinced her to give them their own books because their stories were worth telling too. And so Olivia suddenly became a romance author. When Olivia is not writing, she has the best job in the world, which, too, will remain a secret. In her free time, she reads, write, drinks wine, or is, most likely, out emulating Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Olivia lives in one of the most diverse and vibrant cities in the U.S.—Baltimore. She lives with her cat, which she is convinced was a gladiator in his past life. Olivia plans to continue being awesome at this thing called life. Really, that’s her only goal.

    Arresting Mason by Amber Daulton @amberdaulton1 #RLFblog #NewRelease #RomanticSuspense

    Arresting Mason by Amber Daulton @amberdaulton1 #RLFblog #NewRelease #RomanticSuspenseAmber Daulton, welcome to Romance Lives Forever. I’m Kayelle Allen, author and owner of this blog. Happy to have you here! Please tell us about your book.

    Arresting Mason by Amber Daulton

    Genre: Romantic Suspense
    Book heat level (based on movie ratings): R
    Once you’re in a prison gang, you’re in it for life. That’s what Mason Harding thought until the boss accepted his resignation. After the State releases him on parole, a sexy divorcée behind the wheel of a car almost ends his life quicker than a shank. His chance encounter with Mia Eddison results in a night of passion, but her brother—his parole officer—catches them together and doesn’t approve.
    Mia falls hard for the cocky ex-con, but not because of his chiseled body. She vows to break through his walls and discover his secrets, but never expects those secrets to threaten her life.
    When members of an organized crime ring kidnap Mia to force Mason’s return to the gang, he goes up against an old friend to save the woman he loves. Will his sacrifice be enough or will everything fall apart in a blaze of gunfire?
    Why did you write this book?
    I originally wrote this book for a bad boy anthology call, but by the time I was done, I had exceeded the max word count and still wanted to add more scenes. So I forgot all about the anthology and kept revising this story until I was finally happy with it. It’s now book one in the Arresting Onyx series.
    For how I came up with the plot, I must thank my subconscious since I dreamed about it. For days after, I kept thinking about the hero, the heroine, and her brother, and the characters wouldn’t leave me in peace until I wrote out a rough plotline. Though I changed quite a bit as I put the dream down on paper (or rather computer), the main premise remained the same.
    What is your favorite genre to read?
    I love to read almost every type of romance book, but my favorite sub-genre is tied between romantic suspense and paranormal, with historical at a close second. Outside of romance, I enjoy non-fiction history books and textbooks, preferably when the subject is about Greece or the Roman Empire.
    Who is your favorite character from fiction (not including your own)?
    I’m a big fan of Sherrilyn Kenyon’s Dark Hunter series, and I absolutely love Acheron. He’s my all-time favorite book character.
    What are you working on at the moment?
    I’m currently editing the second book in the Arresting Onyx series (it should be out next year – hopefully!), and then I’ll move on the other books in the series.
    What books will we see from you in coming months?
    Arresting Mason is the only book I have coming out for a while, but I have several books in my backlist that I’m always promoting. Who knows. Maybe I’ll run across another anthology call and actually keep to the word count this time!

    Writing is the fruit of happiness.
    Amber Daulton lives her life by that one belief even though she normally isn’t so Zen.
    As a fan of contemporary, paranormal, and historical romance novels alike, she can’t get enough of feisty heroines and alpha heroes. Her mind is a wonderland of adventure, laughter, and awesome ways of kicking a guy when he’s down. She probably wouldn’t be too sane without her computer and notebooks. After all, what’s a girl to do when people are jabbering away in her head and it’s hard to shut them up? Write! Nothing else works.

    Stealing the Billionaire’s Heart by Robin Michaela @robinsromances #RLFblog #NewRelease #billionaireromanceRobin Michaela, welcome to Romance Lives Forever. I’m Kayelle Allen, author and owner of this blog. Happy to have you here! Please tell us about your book.

    Stealing the Billionaire’s Heart

    Genre Contemporary
    Book heat level (based on movie ratings): R
    Lyra Bretton is stunned when she’s abandoned at the altar. Figuring the best way to get over one man is to get under another one, she combs the luxurious Las Vegas resort where she was to be married, intent on spending her almost-wedding night with the sexiest man she can find.
    Billionaire womanizer, Nicolas Sebastian, is tempted by the beautiful bride’s shocking proposal. The workaholic COO of the family hotel chain can’t deny his attraction to the woman who should be weeping in her room instead of shredding her wedding gown in his lounge. Their chemistry is explosive, but Nicolas has been burned before. He’ll never commit his heart because he learned years ago that women are only interested in his wallet.
    Their Vegas fling soon turns into something neither of them can control. But, when they travel to his lavish property in Italy, money goes missing and expensive jewelry turns up in Lyra’s possession, putting their fragile future in jeopardy. Unless they can find a way to trust again, they risk losing each other forever.
    Why did you write this book?
    My other books are about every day, small town characters. I thought it would be fun to write something that put a “regular” woman into the world of untold wealth. How would you react if you suddenly didn’t have to worry about money? Would you stay the same or turn into a money-grabber?
    What is your favorite genre to read?
    I primarily read romance, but I enjoy all types of it. Time-travel, historical, sweet, Viking, Highlanders, erotic, billionaire – they’re all good!
    Who is your favorite character from fiction (not including your own)?
    I really enjoyed the character of Mark Watney from The Martian. He had a great sense of humor that got him through the worst time I can imagine – being stranded alone on an inhospitable planet that’s basically trying to kill you.
    What are you working on at the moment?
    I’m working on the prequel to Stealing the Billionaire’s Heart, which focuses on Nicolas’ parents and their lives as they were just beginning to accumulate their wealth. It will show him and his siblings as children.
    What books will we see from you in coming months?
    In addition to the prequel I just mentioned, I’m working on Nicolas’ sibling’s stories, plus I’ve partially written another romance about a country music star and the small town girl he’s been in love with since he was a teen. I was just diagnosed with early stage breast cancer last week, though, so these books might get pushed back a little while I undergo treatment. I’ve been told that chemo brain is real, so I don’t expect to be able to write for a while, although I’m staying optimistic!
