Surrender Love, cinnamon roll meets alpha hero Kayelle Allen #SciFi #MMromance #RLFblog
I’m Kayelle Allen, author and owner of RLF–and I’m usually welcoming guests in this space. Today, it’s my turn to share a book. Surrender Love is in the Antonello Brothers: Immortal sci-fi series set in the Tarthian Empire.
Surrender Love by Kayelle Allen
Being dumped broke Luc’s heart, but public humiliation crushed it. Online betting programs placed odds on how long it would take the wealthiest man in the Empire to find a new romance. He was betting on never.
As an alien working on a human world, Izzorah faced contempt and prejudice. Never mind that he was the drummer for an Empire-famous rock band, he was also undocumented, and if discovered, it guaranteed deportation to his homeworld, where he risked execution.
When Izzorah’s band signs with Luc’s company, the desire that flares between them is instant and irresistible. But resist Izzorah and Luc must. To yield means sharing secrets neither dares to reveal.
They must focus on work and forget about love. Even when their hearts beg for surrender…

Do you fancy a billionaire #GayRomance – Seduced By A Warlock Billionaire by Jack Brightside @Brightside_Jack #WriteLGBTQ #RLFblog
A weekend with a billionaire warlock?
Jack, welcome to Romance Lives Forever. I’m Kayelle Allen, author and owner of this blog. Happy to have you here! Please tell us about The Warlock Billionaire’s Soulmate.
About Seduced By A Warlock Billionaire by Jack Brightside
Genre MM Paranormal Romance
Book heat level (based on movie ratings): RWarlock Sam Grainneson has been single for two hundred years. Human connection is overrated! Or, so he thought. He saves another warlock, Redford, after he accidentally traps himself in the form of a bird and gets caught in a snowstorm. They spend the weekend together waiting for the storm to pass, and it’s the first time in centuries that Sam’s had company over. He should be forgiven for falling head over heels for his attractive guest.
Redford’s tired of dating guys from New York City: evil warlocks who brag about their black magic and human men from Wall Street who joke about how evil they are. He wants someone with a good heart who’s not just interested in him for his money. (Being a billionaire is hard sometimes, okay?) Sam is a good warlock, and it doesn’t hurt that he’s got a great body from all that wholesome manual labor he does at his hardware store.
Redford’s plan to win Sam over is simple. He invites him to his penthouse for a weekend in New York City, planning to pull out all the stops for a high-class seduction. That’s where the problems start.
The last time Sam traveled outside Connecticut was in a carriage, and he’s instantly overwhelmed by New York. Meanwhile, Redford realizes he has no idea how to be romantic. Usually, people are falling over themselves to win him over. Now he’s the one trying to impress somebody. Chaos ensues as Sam and Redford attempt to seduce each other, their desire for one another matched only by their awkwardness.
This is a male/male billionaire paranormal romance novella (12k words). It’s got a billionaire with no idea how to date, Sam’s first time in two centuries (we love that for him), and playful teasing of New Yorkers. It is the prequel to the “Warlock Billionaire’s Soulmate” and “The Warlock of Westland,” books in which both Sam and Redford end up with other people.

Read Zyon by Michelle Frost @MfrostWrites #RLFblog #Fantasy #WriteLGBTQ
Venerit warriors fight for the honor of their master’s house, but will they fight to defend an innocent among them?
Michelle Frost, welcome to Romance Lives Forever. I’m Kayelle Allen, author and owner of this blog. Tell us about Zyon.
Zyon by Michelle Frost
Genre: Fantasy, Gay Romance
Book heat level (based on movie ratings) RKidnapped and offered up as a prize for the three Venerit champions of the kingdom, Theon is terrified and out of his depth. He’s only human and completely at the mercy of the towering Venerit warriors he’s now forced to share a cell with.
Mage lords rule the land, but will Theon allow fear to rule his heart?
Navigating the politics of House Natas and the budding relationship between himself and the champions, Theon discovers enemies lurking around every corner. He’s coming to realize that even though the Venerits hold prestige and honor, they’re just as much slaves to their master as he is. With all of them at the mercy of their Lord, he knows that his champions might not be able to protect him from every threat.
Will the secrets Theon’s kept tear apart everything he’s fought so hard to claim as his own?
Zyon is a Kingdoms of Pelas novel featuring a scrawny human, a towering half-orc, a beautiful tiger, and a fierce gargoyle. As well as plenty of surprises along the way. Equal parts unflinching brutality and robust love story, this book isn’t for the faint of heart. Our characters’ journey will continue through the Kingdoms of Pelas series. Zyon features a harem/poly relationship and has an HFN ending.

Opening Night by Lisabet Sarai @LisabetSarai #RLFblog #NewRelease #MMHistoricalRomance
Lisabet Sarai’s MM romance Opening Night imagines a passionate love that defies Victorian mores. With the curtain going up on his new operetta in less than a week and a key cast member out of commission, comic genius William S. Gilbert must turn to dashing understudy Frank Wilson – and fight his disturbing attraction to the talented young man.
Lisabet, welcome to Romance Lives Forever. I’m Kayelle Allen, author and owner of this blog. Happy to have you here! Please tell us about Opening Night.
Opening Night by Lisabet Sarai
Genre MM Historical Romance
Book heat level (based on movie ratings): RLet your heart be your compass
It’s January 1887, a few days before the opening of the audacious new operetta “Ruddigore”. As if librettist William Gilbert doesn’t have enough to worry about, one of the D’Oyly Carte stars breaks his leg doing the horn pipe. Fortunately, the understudy Frank Wilson turns out to be immensely talented, as well as devilishly handsome. Wilson has set his heart on Gilbert – and he’s not going to be swayed from his course.
Why did you write this book?
When I was five years old, my parents took me to a performance of Gilbert and Sullivan songs. I’ve been a devoted fan ever since. This story, which I originally wrote for an anthology of queer alternative history, gave me the chance to imagine Gilbert’s and Sullivan’s world – and how a same-sex love affair might have turned it topsy-turvy.
What is your favorite genre to read?
This week LOL? Seriously, I read almost every genre. Indeed, in some ways I am anti-genre, since I view originality as one of my most important criteria in evaluating a book, so the fewer genre tropes an author employs, the better I like it.
Who is your favorite character from fiction (not including your own)?
At the moment I’m steeped in the Victorian era, having just finished my Victorian steam punk trilogy The Toymakers Guild as well as Opening Night. So Sherlock Holmes definitely springs to mind, also Jane Eyre.
Depending on context, I might answer this question very differently the next time I am asked!
What are you working on at the moment?
I’m in the process of writing an erotic novella that links two of my fictional worlds. I also have an unfinished paranormal menage romance that has been sitting on my hard drive for a couple of years. I’m committed to completing that this year, hopefully in time for Halloween.
What books will we see from you in coming months?
In addition to the erotica novella mentioned above, I will be publishing new editions of several of my romances, including my popular paranormal romance The Eyes of Bast and my contemporary, multiracial menage tale Wild About that Thing.

Get the inside scoop on Aidan Greene from Three Wrong Turns in the Desert by Neil S Plakcy @neilplakcy #RLFblog #MMRomance #WriteLGBTQ
When Aidan Greene spies handsome ex-SEAL Liam McCullough showering naked behind a bar in Tunisia’s capital, his only thoughts are of lust. But when Liam needs his help to track a nomadic tribe through the Sahara, can that emotion carry him on a wild ride, chased by corrupt cops and confronted with a terrorist training camp?
Neil, welcome to Romance Lives Forever. I’m Kayelle Allen, author and owner of this blog. Happy to have you here! Please tell us about Three Wrong Turns in the Desert.
Three Wrong Turns in the Desert by Neil S Plakcy
Genre MM romance/adventure
Book heat level (based on movie ratings): RIntroducing the “Have Body, Will Guard” series – a thrilling gay romance adventure following bodyguard Liam and ESL teacher Aidan as they team up to chase terrorists through the Sahara desert, falling in love along the way. With action-packed plot twists and steamy romance, this book will keep you on the edge of your seat as Liam and Aidan navigate dangerous situations and yet still find time for romance. Travel by armchair from the bustling streets of Tunis through the scorching Sahara. This story will take you on a wild ride of love, action, and adventure.
Insider Information about Character Name
Welcome! We’d like to know more about you. Please add info you’re comfortable sharing.
Age: 31
Gender: Male
Birthplace: Trenton, NJ
Profession: formerly a teacher of English as a second language, now a close protection agent (aka bodyguard)Please provide a physical description of yourself.
Under the tutelage of my love interest/partner, I’ve begun building up my muscles, though I’ll never be as Adonis-like as he is. I’m six feet tall with brown hair and eyes. Though I’m not really a street fighter, I’d gladly grab the balls of an assailant and squeeze.
What are your pronouns?
He/him/his
How well does your name fit your personality?
As a Jewish baby, I was named after my grandfather Aaron, though my parents wanted a more mainstream name for me, so they picked Aidan. I wouldn’t have minded that name, and I’m kind of sorry that my grandpa shorted the family name from Greenberg. I’m proud of who I am and I wish my name was more reflective of that.
Do you believe in love at first sight?
Was it love, or simply lust, when I first spotted Liam McCullough? He was showering naked in the courtyard behind a bar. Then a day later when he came up to me at that same bar and began to make conversation, I was completely smitten. You can imagine how I felt when I realized he’d mistaken me for someone else! But circumstances brought us together and that early impression I had hasn’t change.
What is your MBTI type?
Sensing/Intuition. Years of working with immigrants struggling to learn English has helped me make connections with people of all cultures and backgrounds. That comes in handy in close protection work.
What is your astrological sign?
I’m a Virgo, organized and pragmatic. Liam approaches everything based on his training as a US Navy SEAL, but he says he appreciates my ability to think outside the box because I don’t have that focus.
Do you enjoy dressing up or prefer to dress casually?
You really have to hold me down to get me to wear a tie—I much prefer microfiber fishing shirts or one with tropical prints, and I will wear shorts every day if the weather merits.
Can you:
Swim? Yes. I learned the SEAL technique for moving smoothly through the water from Liam.
Use chopsticks? Awkwardly.
Roller skate? Not since I was about six!
Ski? I learned when I was in college, but living in Tunisia, and now the French Riviera, I don’t get much chance to practice.
Fly a plane? Nope.
Ride a horse? No. I have been on camels, though.How good are you with technology?
I’ve had to learn, because so much of protecting our clients is proactive—being aware of what threats are out there and how to outwit them using technology.
If you called your author on the phone, what ringtone would play?
“Jimmy Dreams” by Jimmy Buffett.
What type of music do you like?
I have a real weakness for disco, especially Donna Summer and The Village People.
What is your favorite book?
A Separate Peace by John Knowles. The understated romance between Phinny and Gene really spoke to my heart.
What is your favorite movie?
I love the madcap humor of With Six You Get Eggroll with Doris Day, Brian Keith and George Carlin.
If you could choose a theme song to play when you entered a scene, which one of the following would fit best:
Stirring march
Gentle melody
Hard rock
Uplifting and breezy
Somber and darkWhat color best describes you?
Well, with a last name like Greene…
Who is the one person who can convince you to do something you know you shouldn’t?
My husband Liam.
