    Dancing in the Dark by Cheryl St John

    Genre: Contemporary Romance

    Book heat level (based on movie ratings): PG

    He’d had his own baby. Without her.

    Dusty Cavanaugh has loved Kendra Price since she walked into the school cafeteria and captured a dozen boyish hearts with the sweep of her stormy gray-green gaze and the lift of her chin. College, marriage, and children had been the plan. But then Dusty made a mistake.

    Kendra Price had never wanted to be rich, but she’d wanted to be comfortable, which she was. She’d never wanted to be famous, but to live her passion to the fullest and dance, which she did. She’d wanted to marry Dusty, have babies and live happily ever after. It would never happen.

    She’d wanted to dance, get married and have babies…all she had left was dance.
    He had everything a man could want–except her forgiveness…

    There had been no road map for life apart. Will love be enough to guide them back?

    Losing the boy she loved nearly destroyed Mehak Khanna. But letting him in a second time can be more dangerous for her.

But Rishi is everywhere with his charm, his wit, and that devastating smile. Now Mehak has to fight a daily battle to not fall for him again.

    Rishi Sehgal has never forgotten Mehak, the girl who broke his heart when he was very young. Thanks to her, he has his rules—no relationships, no staying the night, and no promises. But all his hard rules fly right out of the window when Mehak returns into his life. Now Rishi has to decide if he can open his heart to Mehak a second time.

    Some things, however, are written in the stars and sometimes you have to move beyond the past and choose to believe in love.

    However, what destroyed their relationship the first time will once again test their love. Will they survive a second test, especially with Mehak’s life on the line? Will Rishi and Mehak learn that true love is worth fighting for?

    Jennifer started telling herself stories as a little girl when she couldn’t fall asleep at night. Pretty soon, her head was filled with these stories and the characters that populated them. Even as an adult, she thinks about the characters and stories at night before she falls asleep or walking the dog. Eventually, she started writing them down. Her favorite stories to write are those with smart, sassy, independent heroines; handsome, strong and slightly vulnerable heroes; and her stories always end with happily ever after.
    In the real world, she’s the mother of two amazing daughters and wife of one of the smartest men she knows. When she’s not writing, she loves to laugh with her family and friends, is a pro at finding whatever her kids lost in plain sight, and spends way too much time closing doors that should never have been left open in the first place. She believes humor is the only way to get through the day and does not believe in sharing her chocolate.
    She writes contemporary romance, some of which are mainstream and some of which involve Jewish characters. She’s published with The Wild Rose Press and all her books are available through Amazon and Barnes and Noble.

    Claw by Ellen Mint

    Genre Paranormal romance

    Book heat level (based on movie ratings): R

    He’s not your typical werewolf-next-door.

    Layla didn’t count on a sex demon appearing in her living room. Nor did she expect to find she’s a witch, tasked with protecting the mortal realm. And now her friend, fellow nursing student and impossible crush could be a potential killer?

    She’s silently lusted after Cal for a year, knowing a guy that hot, sweet, and kind wouldn’t look twice at her. All their flirting was innocent and went nowhere, until Ink—the incubus bound to her—ran into her life and bed. Next thing she knows, Cal’s growling at her while Ink flirts, and women are being ripped apart by wild animals. Couldn’t the murder monster mystery wait until after finals?

    She wanted to be a nurse, not a paranormal investigator, but Layla has no choice. Apparently only witches can stop these creatures that she didn’t even know existed a month ago. But the deeper she digs, the more it looks like Cal’s deep in the middle of it all. How can she save her friend from the claws of a cult, keep her sex-craved demon happy and find a way to let both into her heart or bed?

    Everyone who buys a copy of Claw at First For Romance will receive the short story Retail Hell free. Set between the events of Ink and Claw in the Coven of Desire series, Layla’s workday from hell is interrupted by her personal sex demon.

    Awards Night from Your Desire by Dee S Knight @DeeSKnight #RLFblog #romance #fantasy #magic #PNR

    Awards Night from Your Desire by Dee S Knight @DeeSKnight #RLFblog #romance #fantasy #magic #PNRFantasy and magic await in Dee S Knight’s erotic romance, Your Desire. These two novellas show how the perfect touch of magic can fulfill fantasies and spark the flame of love. Dee, welcome to Romance Lives Forever. I’m Kayelle Allen, author and owner of this blog. Happy to have you here!

    Awards Night from Your Desire by Dee S Knight

    Genre Fantasy paranormal erotic romance

    Book heat level (based on movie ratings): R

    Your Desire. A mysterious shop appears in town for one reason: to bring the spice of passion and the thrill of love to one special person. Magic is in more than the item purchased—it’s in the heart of the buyer, often hidden, usually surprising. And after enchantment takes hold? The store fades from sight and memory, only to reappear somewhere else. Maybe in your town….

    The Artist and the Director
    Derica Meadows, the conservative Director of Accounting at a large San Francisco firm, sees the most beautiful dress imaginable in a shop window. So different from her usual genderless pant suits, she’s swept into acquiring the gown for a formal business affair the next night. But a funny thing happens on the way to her party, in the form of a compelling man and a photo shoot. Suddenly, the normally logical Derica finds herself swimming in a sea of sexual freedom she’d never before considered. The hunk of a artist can satisfy her fantasies, but what will happen to her climb up the corporate ladder in the process? And to her heart?

    Awards Night
    Allison Hayes has always tried to be all things to all people. Need anything done? Call Allison. It seems no one considers that Allison might have needs, too. When she goes home one night to find a man injured in her pasture, she resigns herself to helping out yet again. However, it isn’t long before she finds the roles reversed, as the mysterious man fulfills her deepest desires. By morning, Allison knows that in being the Good Samaritan this time, she’s gotten more than she gave. The question is, was it passion for one night or for a lifetime of love?

    Know the Hero from Awards Night from Your Desire

    Here are some fun questions to help us know your hero.

    It’s late, he’s bored. What does he do?

    He’s Franklin Nicholas Hughes. He doesn’t get bored. As founder and head of NicHughes Electronics, there’s always work to be done. When he has time off, his mind is always reeling with new ideas and products. Boredom? What’s that?

    What kind of food would he impulse buy if hungry?

    Nic—or Frank as he told Allison his name was—doesn’t think much about food. He’s one of those eats-to-live people, not lives-to-eat. Currently, he has a housekeeper who leaves him meals at home and a secretary who makes sure he eats at work, or he’d probably never remember food. On impulse, though, he’d buy junk food like Hostess Cupcakes.

    Describe the kind of clothes he prefers to wear.

    At work he’s a suit kind of guy. For very casual wear, he’ll do jeans and a tee shirt, but most often, he’s in slacks and a button-down shirt collar—with a sports jacket if he’s going out. Casual for Nic means no tie.

    Does he know how to fix things?

    Yes, especially if it’s tracing down an electrical issue and rectifying it. He can repair things, but at this point, he’d prefer to hire someone else to do it.

    He tried to do something and it went badly. Tell us about it.

    He decided to get involved in robotics with his company. He jumped in feet first and didn’t lay the groundwork. The project never took off. But he got his act together and took time to learn a few things and a year later, his company developed robotics used to help people with head and limb injuries. Nic doesn’t have a lot of patience, but he learned through this experience that taking time at the beginning can pay off at the end.

    How does he act around children he doesn’t know?

    Uncomfortably. He’s really not a children kind of guy.

    What is he like first thing in the morning?

    Ready to go! He’s up at first light for a run and then is ready for work.

    Can he use chopsticks?

    Yes. He does business all over the world and so has accustomed himself to cultural mores. He  might  not think about food, but he thinks about his customers.

    Does he drink coffee? If so, how does he take it? If not, what does he drink instead?

    Yes, black.

    What apps would he have on his phone?

    Wall Street Journal, iBendPipe, stock market reports, Electrical Calc Elite, TheStreet

    Android or iPhone?

    iPhone

    Beard or clean-shaven?

    Clean-shaven

    Earrings/piercings/tattoos or unadorned skin?

    None of the above. When he might have been inclined, he didn’t want to spend the money. Now, he’s not inclined.

    Personal vehicle or public transport?

    Personal. Sometimes a driver.

    Recycle or toss?

    He has no idea. His housekeeper takes care of all that. But he thinks she recycles.

    Thanks for helping us get to know your hero!

    A woman unjustly imprisoned…

    A duke jilted at the altar…

    Lady Samantha Wallace has been in love since childhood with her brother’s best friend, the Duke of Colebourne, but George only sees her as a little sister. She weds a viscount who is George’s opposite, only to find herself trapped in a miserable marriage. When she becomes a widow, she is held against her will and finally escapes, vowing to live life her own way and never be controlled again.

    George is jilted at the altar and becomes one of London’s most scandalous rakes, bedding women left and right. After years of being the Duke of Charm, though, George is tired of his meaningless existence and decides he is ready for a change—which includes finding Sam, who is now a widow, and asking her to be his duchess.

    Fate brings George and Samantha together at a house party, where their desire for one another ignites in a torrid encounter. Yet Samantha refuses to wed George. Determined to learn Sam’s secrets and make her his, George will do whatever it takes to fight for the woman he’s always loved in secret.

    Will Samantha be able to escape the past that still haunts her and find happiness with the Duke of Charm?
