    Know the Hero from Branwyn's Love by Daryl Devore @daryldevore #RLFblog #medievalromanceDaryl Devore, welcome to Romance Lives Forever. I’m Kayelle Allen, author and owner of this blog. Happy to have you here! We’re excited to find out more about your hero, but first, tell us about the book.

    Branwyn’s Love by Daryl Devore

    Genre medieval erotic romance

    Book heat level (based on movie ratings): R

    Daryl Devore pens another hot read – the medieval romance -Branwyn’s Love.

    The tale of a young woman sold as a courtesan in training. Branwyn arrives in a new land to begin daily lessons in the bewildering art of bedding a man.

    The noblewoman chosen to be Prince Malacke’s bride rejects him by bedding his hated rival. Malacke turns his anger towards increasing the power and wealth of Black Dorn castle. And he succeeds until his attention is captured by the face of the woman who will be his queen.

    Note: This book contains elements of domination, submission, and fetishes. If these concepts disturb you, please do not purchase or read this book. Branwyn’s Love was formerly known as Black Dorn and published by New Dawning.

    Know the Hero from Branwyn’s Love

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

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

    Finds a woman to bed.

    What kind of food would he impulse buy if hungry?

    Malacke is a medieval prince. He does not “buy” food.

    Describe the kind of clothes he prefers to wear.

    His riding breeches. Being out with his horse, strolling along a stream or charging through a field are places he would much rather be than in the Royal Court.

    Does he know how to fix things?

    Political things he can fix. A rebel army trying to invade is father’s kingdom – Malacke would lead the army in the charge to defend the castle. If a strap on his saddle broke or his sword was damaged, he would be at a loss of how to fix it.

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

    Being a dutiful prince, he courted a lady-of-the-court. She was from a proper family with a long and noble bloodline. At the moment he was willing to request her hand in marriage, she bedded his hated rival. The humiliation was overwhelming and he closed himself off to love.

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

    He is as uncomfortable around children he doesn’t as he is around children he knows. They are kept out of the royal court, so he has had little experience dealing with them.

    What is he like first thing in the morning?

    A dragon would be cuddlier than he.

    How does he handle things when in a “proper” social situation?

    In a proper court fashion – socially correct on all points with a touch of Malacke arrogance.

    Valet or takes care of himself?

    Both. He has a serving boy – Duncan. But Duncan is smart enough to know those days when it is best that he allow his master – Prince Malacke – to do things for himself.

    Necktie/cravat or open shirt?

    As he knows not what a necktie or a cravat is, he would reply – open shirt.

    Sleeves buttoned or rolled up?

    When in court, Malacke dresses formally – therefore buttoned sleeves. But when freed from the duties of court – his sleeves would be rolled up – if he were wearing a shirt.

    Powdered wig or natural hair?

    Natural Hair.

    Carriage or horseback?

    Seated tall on a proud stallion.

    Thanks for helping us get to know your hero!

    Is It True: Love My Fate by Daryl Devore @daryldevore #RLFblog #UrbanFantasy

    Is It True: Love My Fate by Daryl Devore @daryldevore #RLFblog #UrbanFantasyWelcome to Romance Lives Forever. I’m Kayelle Allen, author and owner of this blog. Let’s play Is It True with today’s guest, Daryl Devore, author of Love My Fate, an Urban Fantasy. This is a game with yes and no questions. Writers can elaborate on answers as much as they choose.

    Love My Fate by Daryl Devore

    Genre Urban Fantasy
    Book heat level (based on movie ratings): R
    What’s a woman to do when a voice follows her home and makes mad, passionate love to her?
    Daryl Devoré’s latest is a quirky paranormal urban fantasy – Love My Fate.
    Corporate businesswoman, Capricious Gray, is dragged to a sex toy convention by her best friend. After a mysterious disembodied voice helps her with her purchases, it follows her home. Passion ensues, leaving Capri torn between lust for her fantasy lover and the desperate need for reality in her life.
    Thall, son of one of the Fates, harbours the irrepressible need to be with the woman he’s desired from afar for years. In order to make her his, once and for all, he must help Capri get past her fears, including the fear of what he represents – a fantasy.
    Can fantasy become a reality for these two lovers?
    Note: This book was previously published by New Dawning Bookfair under the title Capri’s Fate. The edition has a new title, new cover and has restored previously deleted scenes.

    Is it true:

    this is your first book?
    No. It was my 4th.
    this book is part of a series?
    No.
    you lost sleep while writing this book?
    No.
    you did research for this book?
    Yes! I’ve never been to a sex toy convention and I had to research the products they sold.
    some characters in this book are not human? (pets for example)
    Yes. The hero isn’t human. He is the son of a Fate.
    this book has more than one genre?
    No. I’m not even sure what genre it is, so I took a stab at urban fantasy
    you speak more than one language?
    Sort of. I’m Canadian and while we all aren’t bilingual (English/French) I can hold my own when in Quebec.
    you grew up where you live now?
    No. Pretty much the exact opposite end of the province.
    you love to read?
    Of course. I have the complete works of several of my favourite authors.
    you are never late?
    Never is such a strong word. I try not to be late. I really do try, but sometimes time just gets away from me.
    you love pizza?
    Yes. I saw a meme – Stop stressing. You can’t please everybody. You’re not pizza.
    you love sushi?
    Like is a better word. I just discovered it a few months ago.
    you have a pet?
    Yes. 2 black cats – Licorice and Ginny-fur Purrkins (my husband named her).

    QUICK

    Do you write more than one genre? If so, what are they?…
    I only write romance, but the sub-genres are endless – from contemporary to medieval from sweet to hot.
    How do you come up with ideas?…
    Usually my imagination, but for this box set we had a theme of a lawbreaker that we had to work the story around.
    What is the single most important part of writing for you?…
    I have absolutely no idea. I’ve never thought about it. I guess the fun of letting my imagination run wild. Society like to place us in boxes. Make us conform to rules. But even inside a box my imagination is free.
    When did you write your first book?…
    In gr 10 – in a creative writing class. It is hilarious to read – it’s so bad.
