Easily throwing caution to the wind… Miss Camden Kissed the Duke Camden Girls, book 3) by Juli D Revezzo, historical romance
Juli, welcome to Romance Lives Forever. I’m Kayelle Allen, author and owner of this blog. Happy to have you here! Please tell us about Miss Camden Kissed the Duke.
Miss Camden Kissed the Duke (Camden Girls, book three) by Juli D Revezzo
Genre: historical romance
Book heat level (based on movie ratings): G
Fresh on the heels of romantic heartbreak, Miss Isabelle Camden agrees to become companion for the sister of a busy, arrogant duke. She plans to keep her distance, but when a snowstorm strands them outside London for days, an unexpected dare sets propriety at naught…and sends her into the duke’s arms.
QUICK
Do you write more than one genre? If so, what are they?
Yes, I write Historical romance, and fantasy.
How do you come up with ideas?
From everywhere. I’ll see or hear something in the news or snippets of overheard conversation, or a bit of a song lyric might suggest something. In Miss Camden Kissed the Duke, it being the third book in a series, since she was the youngest Camden girl, her story came out of the family’s stories in the first two books. Specifically, she always had a crush on the hero of the second book, but as that was an impossible story to tell (given he found his HEA in book two), I introduced Isabelle to a hero of her own—the Duke of Huntersvale. ;) There were also other bits. As young ladies in the 1800s were supposed to be well-bred and had a myriad things they weren’t supposed to do, and I always like to have my characters buck those traditions, I gave Isabelle her own way to do so: So, as I said in my title, she’s not averse to throwing caution to the wind, and taking a dare, (which gets her into trouble here!). She also likes astronomy and may study it in school—her sister went to college, why not? She’s not sure on school yet, but she might. Who knows what will happen as the 1880s wear on? ;). Also she likes to run. Well, in 1880 and 1881, young ladies weren’t supposed to run, but she and her sister (the heroine of book one) playfully run races whenever they can. Herein, she ends up stranded with the hero during a snowstorm, and the resourceful duke finds them a way to have a little race. Just for fun. J
What is the single most important part of writing for you?
Most important? Telling the story I want to tell and in a way I want to tell it. For instance, I like hidden bits of history, or rather, those tidbits that aren’t highlighted, so much. For instance, the Camden family runs a small town subway station. Yes, in the 1880s. Did you know there was such a thing that early? Until I wrote the first book, I didn’t either.
When did you write your first book?…
I wrote my very first novel when I was 18. I’d been writing poetry, short stories, and song lyrics before then, but never tackled a full book.
FUN
Leather or lace? Both. J
Black or red? Black
Satin sheets or smooth cotton? Since I live in the south and it’s warm to hot ten months out of the year, I prefer cotton sheets.
Ocean or mountains? That’s a toughy. I’m a mermaid at heart so I’d jump to say ocean, but I like to visit the mountains now and then.
City life or country life? City
Party life or evening at home? Evening at home.
Dogs or cats? I like dogs (hence why there’s a puppy in Miss Camden Kissed the Duke). Kittens are cute but we’re allergic to them.

Forever Winter by Amber Daulton @amberdaulton1 #RLFblog #NewRelease #RegencyRomance
A Sweet, Standalone, Regency Romance Wedding novella by Amber Daulton.
Amber, welcome to Romance Lives Forever. I’m Kayelle Allen, author and owner of this blog. Happy to have you here! Please tell us about your book.
Forever Winter by Amber Daulton
Genre Regency Romance
Book heat level (based on movie ratings): G Sweet
A perfect Christmas wedding, a snowstorm, and a shocking secret. What could go wrong?
Susanna Lorican must marry the man she loves before the truth is discovered—or face the gossip of the ton. With an unexpected snowstorm injuring the minister, her future hangs in the balance.
Viscount Camden Beckinworth vows to keep his bride safe, even if he must betray her confidence. When their love is put to the test, how will he uphold her honor without jeopardizing his own?
– Warning: this sweet, complete Regency romance novella features a brief scene where the heroine is assaulted.
– Second edition. Newly revised and edited.
Why did you write this book?
Back in 2012, I was searching the Internet for anthology submission calls when I found one looking for sweet Christmas-themed romances with a word count of 15k. The deadline was in two weeks, so I figured I didn’t have enough time to plot and write something. But I kept thinking about the call, and for some reason, I set it in the Regency period. Susanna and Camden kept talking to me, urging me to tell their story. So I did. I wrote, edited, and finally submitted it on the day before the deadline. A few days later, I got my first acceptance email. I re-read the message at least two or three times before the truth seeped in—I found a publisher who wanted my book! It’s a great feeling.
Now the rights to Forever Winter have reverted to me, so I’ve re-released it with a fresh edit and cover.
What is your favorite genre to read?
That’s a tough one! I love reading historical romance as well as romantic suspense and paranormal. What I look for in a possible book to read are three-dimensional characters, a strong plot, minimal typos, and fast pacing. I really don’t care about the sub-genre as long as it’s a good book.
Who is your favorite character from fiction (not including your own)?
I love Mr. Darcy and Lizzie from Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice. They complement one another perfectly in the opposites attract kind of way.
What are you working on at the moment?
Nothing, unfortunately. I’m so busy promoting and marketing right not that I don’t have much time to write or edit.
What books will we see from you in coming months?
I have three books releasing this year. Forever Winter just came out two weeks ago on October 5th. A Hero’s Heart (another re-release) will be live on November 2nd, and the brand new Into The Fire box set will be hitting the digital shelves on December 14th. As you can tell, I have a couple busy months ahead of me.

Genre Historical Romance
Book heat level (based on movie ratings): Mature AudienceDrummond Castle, home of staunch Puritan Silas Drummond and his beautiful wife Elizabeth, has been besieged by Royalist forces.
When the Commander of the hated King’s Men agrees to spare Silas’s life in return for a night with Elizabeth, she agrees.
Elizabeth may have been forced by her father to wed the cold-hearted Puritan, but an honorable wife will do whatever is within her power to save her husband.
But second-in-command Charles Trethveyan has other ideas. Eight years before, he and Elizabeth had been deeply in love. He’s not forgotten Elizabeth’s betrayal in relinquishing him to marry Silas.
When Elizabeth discovers that her former Cavalier lover has taken the place of his superior, and that she will spend the night with the man she’s never stopped loving, she realizes she is treading a delicate tightrope.
Is Charles motivated by love or revenge? How much does Silas know and guess?
Whichever way she responds to Charles, her actions will have devastating consequences.
The Countess and the Cavalier is the fourth book in the Hearts in Hiding series but can be read on its own.

Beverley Oakley was seventeen when she bundled up her first her 500+ page romance and sent it to a publisher. Unfortunately drowning her heroine on the last page was apparently not in line with the expectations of romance readers so Beverley became a journalist.
Twenty-six years later Beverley was delighted to receive her first publishing contract from Robert Hale (UK) for a romance in which she ensured her heroine was saved from drowning in the icy North Sea.
Since 2009 Beverley has written more than thirteen historical romances, mostly set in England during the early nineteenth century. Mystery, intrigue and adventure spill from their pages and if she can pull off a thrilling race to save someone’s honour – or a worthy damsel from the noose – it’s time to celebrate with a good single malt Scotch.
Beverley lives with her husband, two daughters and a Rhodesian Ridgeback puppy the size of a pony opposite a picturesque nineteenth-century lunatic asylum. She also writes Africa-set adventure-filled romances starring handsome bush pilot heroes, and historical romances with less steam and more sexual tension, as Beverley Eikli.
