    and Gent by Brita Addams.

    About Tarnished: Souls Frankie
    and Gent

    Genre Historical gay romance
    Author Brita Addams
    Book heat level (based on movie ratings): R
    Hollywood’s Golden Age is not all glitz and glamor. Mob boss
    Frankie Monetti controls the unions and the studios, which makes him and the
    syndicate very rich. But after five years, Frankie runs afoul of the law and
    those who put him in power.
    Primo hit man, and Frankie’s lifelong friend, Arvin “Gent”
    Vitali, goes west with orders to clean up the mess and then bring Frankie back
    to New York to answer for his double cross. But as the noose closes tighter
    around Frankie’s neck, Gent questions where his loyalty truly lies. Is business
    just business, or is freedom worth the risk?
    The following excerpt is raw in its language, much as
    gangsters are. I hope this snippet will entice you to check out the book and
    see who Frankie and Gent are beneath their tarnished souls.

    Prince of the Sea #gayromance thriller Jon Michaelsen #RLFblog

    This quick interview includes info about the author, and introduces the story.

    About the Author

    Jon Michaelsen is a writer of fiction in the mystery, suspense and thriller genres where the main characters are gay. While this doesn’t always define or limit his characters, it does provide opportunities for exciting and challenging plots. Many diverse writers have influenced his style over the years; among them are the ever popular David Baldacci, John Grisham and Michael Crichton, to groundbreaking novelists Patricia Nell Warren, Michael Nava and Felice Picano.
    A southerner born near the banks of the Chattahoochee River, he moved with his family to Atlanta, Georgia in the late 1960s, where he remains today. He studied English and Journalism at Gainesville College in north Georgia before transferring to Valdosta State College near the Georgia-Florida line to finish out his studies. While at Valdosta State, he wrote and edited the college newspaper’s Entertainment page, published features and a few of his short stories in the campus rag.  
    His debut mystery novel, Pretty Boy Dead, was a 2014 Lambda Literary Award Finalist in Gay Mystery. 
    He lives with his husband of 30 years and four monstrous terriers.

    Interview with Jon Michaelsen

    Why did you write this book?
    I’ve always wanted to include the beautiful coastal town of Tybee Island, Georgia in my writing, but I needed to have the perfect plot to really capture the allure of the islet. The story finally came to me a few years ago while traveling back and forth from Atlanta to Jacksonville, Florida to visit with my ailing grandmother. The long hours driving alone on the road provided the perfect medium to stoke my muse.
    What is your favorite genre to read?
    I write mostly in the mystery/suspense genre, which is also my favorite to read. My favorite pastime is curling up on the sofa or a favorite reading lounger and spending hours getting lost in a good mystery.
    Who is your favorite character from fiction (not including your own)?
    Just one? There are so many! I’d say it’s a toss-up between Jason Bourne and Alex Delaware.
    What are you working on at the moment, and will see from you in coming months?
    I am currently writing the second Kendall Parker mystery, which I hope to get the first draft to my editor by the end of this year. The first in the series, Pretty Boy Dead, will be moving to a new publisher for re-release later this year with a fresh look, and available in audiobook.
    Please tell us about your latest book.
    Can a broken heart find love at the bottom of the ocean?
    Jonathan Lemke thought spending two weeks alone with his partner in a beachside cottage would help rekindle the lost passion of their ten-year union. He’d chosen Tybee Island, a quiet seaside community on the Georgia coast east of Historic Savannah. He grew up on the pristine shores of the barrier islet, a place that continues to hold a special place in his heart.
    The romantic surprise backfires when Paul, Jonathan’s partner, rushes off to Chicago for the chance to woo a high profile client, leaving Jonathan alone and brokenhearted, but a chance meeting with a mysterious stranger linked to an ancient island legend just might provide a chance at discovering forever love.
    However, someone with strong familial ties to Tybee is intent on exposing its secrets, and avenging a grudge decades in the making. An assailant so threatened by the forces of nature that defy explanation, he’ll stop at nothing to unmask the revered island lore…even if he must kill to prove it.
    Will Jonathan survive the assailant’s attempts at revenge? Or can a childhood save him from certain death?

    My Zombie Fiancé a new #paranormal by @AuthorTStrange #RLFblog

    This quick interview includes info about the author, and introduces the story.
    About the Author
    T. Strange didn’t want to learn how to read, but literacy prevailed and she hasn’t stopped reading—or writing—since. She’s been published with Torquere Press since 2013, and she writes M/M romance in multiple genres, including paranormal and BDSM. T.’s other interests include cross stitching, gardening, watching terrible horror movies, playing video games, and finding injured pigeons to rescue. Originally from White Rock, BC, she lives on the Canadian prairies, where she shares her home with her wife, cats, guinea pigs and other creatures of all shapes and sizes. She’s very easy to bribe with free food and drinks—especially wine.
    Interview with T. Strange
    Why did you write this book?
    I didn’t feel that Kit and Edward’s story was finished after My Zombie Boyfriend, and I wanted to explore their relationship and Edward’s abilities further.
    What is your favorite genre to read?
    M/M, for sure, and within that I like urban fantasy and (surprise surprise!) paranormal.
    Who is your favorite character from fiction (not including your own)?
    Bilbo Baggins!
    What are you working on at the moment, and will see from you in coming months?
    I don’t know about the next few months, but I have three novels on the go right now. The closest to completion is a dark sci-fi novel about two men on a hostile alien planet. I’m also working on the third book in the Undead Canadian series, My Zombie Wedding, and another paranormal book with entirely different characters!
    Please tell us about your latest book.
    Edward Grey is no stranger to the undead; since raising his cat as a zombie when he was a child, he and his mentor Mariel have explored and developed his power as a necromancer. Despite everything he’s learned, as a necromancer and a medical student, he’s never encountered a ghost.
    While Mariel is unreachable in Haiti on mysterious business, a ghost wakes Edward in the middle of the night, claiming to be his grandfather. When the ghost offers to teach him about this different form of undeath, Edward has little choice but to trust the spirit.
    After receiving a phone call from a young girl claiming her father is possessed, Edward and his Undead Canadian fiancé, Kit, must travel to an acreage in Kingston…Ontario.
    The haunting proves far more complicated than Edward could ever have guessed, and he finds himself pitted against an ancient evil determined to engulf everyone on the farm.
    Edward’s love and connection to Kit will be tested, and his necromancy stretched to his limits as he has to find—and destroy—a twisted spirit more powerful than anything he’s ever encountered.

    Balancing Act: Shooting Stars Book 4 by @KimberVale #RLFblog #gayromance

    Cover Love at Romance Lives Forever is a short intro to a book and includes a cover, blurb, buy links, and social media contacts for the author. Today’s featured book is Balancing Act: Shooting Stars Book 4 by K Vale.

    About the Book 

    Title: Balancing Act: Shooting Stars
    Genre: Contemporary MM, Gay Romance
    Author: K. Vale
    Book heat level (based on movie ratings): R
    K. Vale delivers a hot read in Balancing Act: Greg Dwyer and Kyrie Li are living the glorious couple life in New York City. Or are they? When struggling actor Kyrie lands a modeling job, he’s ecstatic to have extra cash to spend on his best-friend-turned-boyfriend.
    Of course, Greg is suspicious Anders Berglund, the gorgeous and androgynous Swedish cover model the designers love to pair with Kyrie, is after his man. And maybe Kyrie encourages a growing closeness with the guy?
    Greg is probably to blame if Kyrie is drawn to the openly gay and seriously beautiful Andy. With Andy, Kyrie can be himself, as loud and proud as he’s always been. But Greg’s sexuality stays firmly locked in the closest except when he’s with Kyrie’s supportive family or alone with the man he loves.
    To make matters worse, Greg’s out-of-touch mom meets with financial ruin and moves in with the couple, forcing him into the closet in his own home.
    Can Greg find a way to stand up to Mommy Dearest and win back a love he fought so hard to reach? He discovers the road to pride begins at home and with accepting oneself first. Otherwise, it’s just a dead-end street. Book 4 in the Shooting Stars series.
