    A Time of Fear and Loving by Alice Orr @AliceOrrBooks #RLFblog #Romance #Suspense

    Welcome Alice Orr author of A Time of Fear and Loving – Riverton Road Romantic Suspense Book 5.

    Why did you write this book?
    I wrote this book because Amanda Miller’s story deserves to be told. In A Vacancy at the Inn, Book 3 of my Riverton Road Romantic Suspense series, Amanda was still hidden beneath the shroud of widowhood while her sister Bethany’s story commanded the spotlight. Now, Amanda is ready to emerge and claim that spotlight for herself, and maybe the chance to love again too. Of course, since this is a suspense tale, she will have murder to contend with as well.
    What is your favorite genre to read?
    I love suspense and always have. That love affair began with Nancy Drew and has never cooled off for me. I especially enjoy suspense which is complicated by a difficult relationship at the center. While heroine and hero are forced to contend with dark, dangerous circumstances, they must also contend with one another and feelings that could hardly be less convenient at this terrifying time. What will happen? How will the terror end? How will the couple end up? Double trouble means double suspense, my favorite combination.
    Who is your favorite character from fiction (not including your own)?
    I have many favorite characters, and they all have something in common. They are thrust into situations where they must struggle against powerful obstacles to survive. They know they are outmatched by that power, but they push on anyway, not because they are superhuman, they are not. They are ordinary folks like you and me who must dig deep into themselves for the courage they didn’t realize they possessed until it is called forth by peril, especially to those they love.
    What are you working on at the moment?
    I’m working on A Thing We Lost – Riverton Road Romantic Suspense Book 6. This story introduces another Riverton household, the Women of West Main, who bond together in a different kind of family from the Millers of Miller’s Inn or the Kalli clan of Kalli Corner in my previous books. Single women, single mothers, women on their own lend their hearts and minds and talents to each other’s struggles, and stumble upon handsome heroes and hideous villains along the way.
    What books will we see from you in coming months?
    Books about the Kalli and Miller families and the Women of West Main. Riverton runs through me in as many directions as there are small town streets and rural roads in the North Country of my imagination. In each of those directions stories call out to be told.
    Please tell us about your latest book.
    A hot car and a hot guy can get a girl into trouble.
    Maybe that’s what Amanda Miller needs. But how much trouble is too much trouble? Dead bodies on the riverbank? A possible kidnapping? Sexy detective Mike Schaeffer might save the day. But who will protect Amanda’s heart?
    Alice Orr is known for Delicious Suspense Spiced with a Love Story.
    She does it again in A Time of Fear and Loving.
    A Time of Fear and Loving is Book 5 of the Riverton Road Romantic Suspense Series set in Riverton, New York featuring the Kalli and Miller families and the Women of West Main who will debut in Book 6. Find out more at www.aliceorrbooks.com.

    Adam Mann: Love in the Boondocks #RLFblog #Romance

    Dave is working for a development project with farmer
    families in remote and distant areas, often mountainous. Very few people speak
    English, and he works with several translators. He comes across primary school
    teachers who work in villages in those areas, and one of them who speaks English
    asks him for help with transport to one of the distant villages. She inadvertently
    invites herself for accommodation overnight in Dave’s small village house.
    Kim Anh comes from a family of teachers, and unfortunately is just recovering
    from a failed marriage, so meeting Dave is quite fortuitous and she
    instinctively cleans and tidies Dave’s kitchen and bedroom.
    Kim’s departure to her new village is delayed as her transport is not
    available, until after the forthcoming luni-solar holidays, and she stays
    another day in Dave’s house. The weather grows colder and Dave kindly offers
    her warmer sleeping facilities!
    Kim had found Dave an attractive man when she first met him, but Dave found all
    young ladies beautiful, until Kim began to blossom under Dave’s care.
    Initial contact turns to passion and passion to deep love.
    Everything works out well until Kim’s co-teacher turns up with a baby, a
    non-husband, and big problems!

    Genre Fantasy Romance

    The word originally military slang used by American soldiers
    engaging guerrillas in the Philippines before World War II, from Tagalog
    bundok, mountain, from Proto-Malayo-Polynesian *bunduk, elevated ground. The

    #Route66 Fresh Beginnings by Iris Blobel @_iris_b #RLFblog #Romance

    Welcome Iris Blobel author of Fresh Beginnings, a new Contemporary Romance.

    Why did you write this book?
    I love this book. We went to the USA a few years back, travelling in a motorhome through 5 different states, having the time of our lives. After returning home, looking through hundreds of photos, I came up with the idea to turn our itinerary into a story. Fresh Beginnings was born. I hope the readers will enjoy this little journey and hopefully my love for the places we went to, is shining through.
    What is your favorite genre to read?
    I read most genres as long it’s an interesting read – from crime, mystery, to romance, and I’ve just downloaded a historical romance. Something new for me.
    Who is your favorite character from fiction (not including your own)?
    Jack Reacher – hands down.
    What are you working on at the moment?
    I’ve started a trilogy in “Beauty Bay”, another coastal setting. I love the beach and when we travelled along the NSW coast last year I loved the area so much, I needed to have it in one of my books – Molly and Noah, a pilot from Alaska J
    What books will we see from you in coming months?
    “Echoes of the Past” will be re-released later this year or early next year. But there’ll also be a book set partly in New Zealand – another travel inspired story. I’m really looking forward to releasing this book. The main character has a Maori background

    Teacher’s Pet by Kayla Drake @KaylaDrakeBooks #RLFblog #ContemporaryRomance

    Teacher's Pet by Kayla Drake @KaylaDrakeBooks #RLFblog #ContemporaryRomanceKayla Drake author of Teacher’s Pet answers five easy questions.

    Please tell us about yourself.
    Although she’s an enthusiastic traveler, Kayla Drake has spent most of her days right where she was born, in Chicago. When Kayla decided to write romance novels, she knew the stories had to feature her favorite places in this beautiful city by the lake. Whether her couples visit the sculptures or the zoo, the sports arenas or the shopping districts, romance always grows in the “City of Big Shoulders.”
    What’s your favorite down-home family style meal?
    Soup with a thick wedge of homemade bread to dunk in the bowl. I could eat that every day! There’s always a pot of homemade soup in my kitchen. My current bubbling pot is filled with curried lentils, kale, and carrots – so yummy!
    What’s your favorite hashtag to watch on Twitter?
    #knitting – I’m addicted to knitting and love seeing what everyone makes! My favorite things to knit are sweaters and socks. Hand-knit socks are one of life’s true luxuries.
    Describe the perfect vacation.
    I spend most of it outdoors, and it’s warm. Those are the key ingredients to a happy adventure! I’m not a “lay on the beach” kind of vacationer – I prefer to be active and explore everything from museums to mountains.
    Tell us about your favorite toy as a child.
    My bike! I could ride for hours, and I still love riding to this day. My favorite bike as a kid was pink and white with long pink streamers on the handlebars. So girly! But as soon as I swung my leg over that seat, I had freedom and wind in my hair, and who doesn’t love that?
    If the hero of your latest book called you on the phone, what would be a perfect ringtone for him?
    Nothing too jazzy! Dennis is precise, detail-oriented, and driven. Something short and clear would work best for him.

    Memo to Miss Turner:
    Audrey Turner owns Miss Turner’s School, a top-tier preschool in the posh Lincoln Park neighborhood. Her students are the children of some of Chicago’s most successful doctors, lawyers, and entrepreneurs, and these parents expect nothing short of the best.
    No parent is more demanding than wealthy investment banker Dennis Delaney. Every day, Audrey receives a morning memo from him containing precise instructions for his son Cole’s care. No detail is too insignificant to escape this single father’s notice. When Dennis finds himself coping with a short-term summer childcare issue, Audrey agrees to be his temporary nanny. It’s a chance for a close view of their lifestyle, and if she can keep Dennis Delaney happy, then all the other parents should be content, too.
    It’s only two weeks. Two weeks of daily contact with Chicago’s most meticulous parent – and its most eligible bachelor. Two maddening weeks of rigorously high standards and sizzling sex appeal. Audrey can handle anything for two weeks, right?
