    Know the Heroine from Bonding in Buenos Aires by Gabbi Black @GabbiAuthor #RLFblog #RomanceGabbi, 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 heroine, but first, tell us about Bonding in Buenos Aires.

    Bonding in Buenos Aires by Gabbi Black

    Genre BDSM romance
    Book heat level (based on movie ratings): R

    Argentinian Joaquin Perillo met MacKenzie and Kimberly at a cybersecurity conference two years ago. Another conference in Houston and video chats sealed his attraction for them both. Now they are visiting him in Buenos Aires, and he has so many plans for them—in and out of bed.

    Canadian Kimberly is a security analyst by day and a Domme at Vancouver’s premier BDSM Club Kink at night. She can’t wait to see her men again so she can whip them into shape.

    Texan MacKenzie is a computer geek who spends all his time with code. That is until he meets the beguiling Kimberly and the fun-loving Joaquin. Suddenly, he’s ready to break out of his self-imposed exile.

    The triad have ten days to enjoy their ménage before they have to return to their prospective countries. Because their relationship can’t cross borders or become permanent…right?

    Know the Heroine from Bonding in Buenos Aires

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

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

    If it’s a weekday, Kimberly might troll the internet for some cute dog videos. If the timing’s right, she might get on a call with Joaquin, MacKenzie, or – even better – both. Weekends she’ll head to the local kink club. The Domme has regulars who like to play with her, but she’ll also do pick-up play if someone catches her attention and she can vet them.

    What kind of food would she impulse buy if hungry?

    Almost forty, Kimberly’s conscious of her body and how she feels within her skin. She tends to be careful about what she eats, but she’ll go for a tray of nachos with cheese, salsa, and jalapeños as a treat.

    Describe the kind of clothes she prefers to wear.

    She works from home as a computer security analyst, so she’s all about the yoga pants and sweatshirt…during the work week. On weekends? She’s a Domme at Club Kink in Vancouver and she’s all about the leather corset, short leather skirt, nylons, and skyscraper heels. She’s also a fan of latex for herself or for her submissives.

    Does she know how to fix things?

    She lives in her own home and has learned how to fix plenty of stuff using YouTube videos and do-it-yourself instructions on websites. She takes great pride in being independent.

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

    Adventurous, Kimberly embraced her kinky lifestyle years ago. She apprenticed under several well-known Doms and Dommes in Vancouver and would never try something in public until she felt proficient and competent. Unfortunately all the planning in the world can’t prevent the inevitable mistakes. She was whipping a new bottom one night, soon after attending her first public event, and the whip wrapped. The whip strike went wide and wrapped around her bottom’s side. The guy was fine, truly, but Kimberly was spooked and it took a lot more practice before she was willing to try again in public. Now, she teaches other newbies.

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

    She’s comfortable with children. She’s talk to the young ones, hold babies comfortably, and chats tech with teenagers. She just…doesn’t want any of her own.

    What is she like first thing in the morning?

    Kimberly usually works late into the night, so she’s not exactly a morning person. Except when she’s at conferences and on holiday when she wants to pack in as much adventure as she can during those short vacations.

    Can she use chopsticks?

    She’s grown up in multi-cultural Vancouver and her parents took her to restaurants all over the city and yeah, she knows how to use chopsticks.

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

    She loves tea and will drink coffee on occasion. Do not give her mate – as Joaquin and MacKenzie learned – it doesn’t end well.

    What apps would she have on her phone?

    She selects apps that streamline her life. She tracks her calendar, keeps in touch with her BDSM friends, and orders food on her phone. That being said, she’s paranoid about the use of her personal data and is careful about anything she adds to her phone.

    Android or iPhone?

    iPhone all the way

    Earrings or unpierced ears?

    Earrings. Her favorite pair is mini handcuffs.

    Tattoos or unadorned skin?

    She’s unadorned. Might consider getting something to remind her of her two men, but nothing so far.

    Personal vehicle or public transport?

    Vancouver has a good public transportation system that she’ll use, but the acquisition of two men means she needs more to get them around town. Also, hard to haul all her BDSM gear on the SkyTrain…

    Recycle or toss?

    Recycle all the way. Kimberly strives to buy as few material things as possible and avoids packaging whenever she can. She’s an environmentally minded strong woman who wants to leave the planet in the best shape she possibly can.

    Thanks for helping us get to know your heroine!

    Know the Heroine from Innocent Eyes by Gabbi Black @gabbiauthor #RLFblog #Dark #HotReadTarah Peters works the nightshift as a concierge at a high-end luxury condo building. New resident, Sebastian Merrick, has caught her attention and she’s beyond curious. When he offers to show her the power of submission, she’s drawn into his web. But what will happen when their arrangement ends?

    Gabbi, 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 heroine, but first, tell us about Innocent Eyes.

    Innocent Eyes by Gabbi Black

    Genre dark erotic BDSM romance

    Book heat level (based on movie ratings): NC17

    Hardworking university student Tarah Peters has observed tycoon Sebastian Merrick from her security guard post for weeks. Under his gaze, she experiences desire for the first time in her life, and his unexpected proposition both daunts and intrigues her.

    Sebastian doesn’t proposition women, but feels compelled to offer Tarah a place to live and money for her schooling while he introduces her to his darkly erotic world. Her naïveté calls to him, but he must maintain an emotional distance while showing her the meaning of submission.

    Tarah yearns for Sebastian to admit he wants more than just a Dominant/submissive relationship, that their enthrallment is mutual. Can she convince him this might be more than just an affair?

    Know the Heroine from Innocent Eyes

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

    Tarah studies. She’s going to be an elementary school teacher and she’s struggling to finish her psychology, French grammar, and English literature classes.

    What kind of food would she impulse buy if hungry?

    Anything but noodles – she’s survived on them for years. Maybe a decadent dessert?

    Describe the kind of clothes she prefers to wear.

    When she’s not in uniform, she’s all about the casual – jeans and cotton blouses.

    Does she know how to fix things?

    Truthfully, to her shame, she doesn’t. Her dad fixed things when she was growing up, and she’s lived in crappy apartments ever since. When she’s needed something fixed, the landlord will – reluctantly – do it.
    She tried to do something and it went badly. Tell us about it.

    One night she tried to get Sebastian to talk about his past. She’d discovered various clues as to his history, but she never could have imagined the trauma. In the end, after opening up his soul, he sends her away.

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

    She dives right in. In fact, at the company Christmas Party, she specifically grabs a seat next to a child and when one puts chocolate handprints on her dress, she merely laughs.

    What is she like first thing in the morning?

    Cranky. She’s chronically under-slept and so struggles in the morning.

    Can she use chopsticks?

    She’s incompetent with chopsticks. Although she knows the Chinese food delivery guy, she can’t afford to buy it for herself.

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

    She mainlines coffee because of her weird hours. Then she crashes and sleeps as much as she can – but with school, work, and volunteering at a daycare, that doesn’t leave much time for shut eye.

    What apps would she have on her phone?

    Truthfully, Tarah doesn’t have a smart phone. Her phone can make calls and sends texts. She can’t afford anything else.

    Android or iPhone?

    Android.

    Earrings or unpierced ears?

    Unpierced – which Sebastian notices.

    Tattoos or unadorned skin?

    Unadorned. She sees herself as a plain girl – tattoos might draw attention and wouldn’t really be appropriate for school teachers.

    Personal vehicle or public transport?

    Public transport all the way. She gets around Vancouver with complete ease – hopping buses or the SkyTrain whenever she needs to.

    Recycle or toss?

    Obsessive recycler. She’s all about saving the planet for future generations.

    This story is told entirely through Tarah’s point of view, so Sebastian remains a bit of a mystery. I hope readers will pick up the book to discover the enigmatic hero who doesn’t call himself that.
