Easily throwing caution to the wind… Miss Camden Kissed the Duke Camden Girls, book 3) by Juli D Revezzo, historical romanceJuli, 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.

Know the Heroine from Courting the Stationmaster’s Daughter by Juli D Revezzo @julidrevezzo #RLFblog #historicalromance
Juli D Revezzo, 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 the book.Courting the Stationmaster’s Daughter by Juli D Revezzo
Genre: Historical romance
Book heat level (based on movie ratings): PG
After Honorine Camden is jilted, leaving her stunned and sparking a scandal in her tiny London borough of Wallflower, she’s devastated. But when she overhears her father, the stationmaster, talking about arranging a party for their newly-minted underground railway station, she volunteers to help. Although she’s intrigued with the handsome assistant stationmaster, Shane MacIntyre, she never expects to fall head-over-heels in love with him. Unfortunately, one tragic accident might derail everything.Know the Heroine from Courting the Stationmaster’s Daughter
Here are some fun questions to help us know your heroine.
It’s late, she’s bored. What does she do?
Since you said it’s late, Honorine will usually pull out her collection of dried flowers, and sort through them–or pick up a book. Her go-to is anything on natural history, but right now, she’s trying to finish Jane Austen’s Sense and Sensibility.
What kind of food would she impulse buy if hungry?
Apple fritters.
Describe the kind of clothes she prefers to wear.
Her long dress with the holly garland around the hem and cuffs is her favorite. If she can forgo the bustle, she’s most comfortable without it.
Does she know how to fix things?
Not really. She can dig a post hole, though. Anything gardening related that can be applied to fixing anything? She could do that.
She tried to do something and it went badly. Tell us about it.
Where do we start? She’s trying to organize this party, you see, and every little detail seems to keep spiraling out of control. She’s only got a week left, and still no venue, and then, there was this little thing of the train wreck on her father’s route…
How does she act around children she doesn’t know?
Stiff and quiet. She’s not really a child person.
What is she like first thing in the morning?
Groggy, usually misses her father leaving early. But lately, she’s finding it hard to sleep so, has been getting up with the household staff, before dawn.
How does she handle things when in a “proper” social situation?
Usually quiet and demure. If there are friends around, she prefers to sit and talk with them.
Maid or takes care of herself?
She has a maid but can take care of herself, if necessary.
Proper dress or casual clothes?
Proper dress.
Sleeves buttoned or rolled up?
Rolled up.
Powdered wig or natural hair?
Natural hair, usually braided.
Carriage or horseback?
Underground train, if you please! J It’s the newest, latest way to get from Wallflower to London and points beyond. (Plus, her father, and her beloved, run the subway station in Wallflower, so it’s almost required conveyance for Honorine.)

Vesta’s Clockwork Companions by Juli D Revezzo @julidrevezzo #RLFblog #historicalromance #steampunk
Juli D Revezzo, 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.Vesta’s Clockwork Companions by Juli D Revezzo
Genre: Steampunk Romance
Book heat level (based on movie ratings): 1
When Vesta Bartlett, a wealthy alchemist and inventor, arrives in England to finalize an arranged marriage and help overhaul a family friend’s outdated ironworks, she never expects to find the family so secretive, nor to develop feelings for her fiancé’s younger brother, Henry.
But the growing attraction between Vesta and Henry is just the beginning of their troubles. Things really heat up when they’re drawn into a secret project for Queen Victoria’s military, one that requires Vesta’s knowledge of clockwork and Henry’s iron.
An epidemic has wiped out all the dogs in Britain, and beyond. If the military fail in their effort to restore the species, a clockwork creation may be all that stands in the way of a world without canine companionship.
Are Vesta and Henry up to the challenge?
Why did you write this book?
I wrote Vesta’s Clockwork Companions because I wanted to write a Victorian romance and this young woman (Vesta) popped into my head. She happened to be a Texan blacksmith and alchemist who was betrothed to an Englishman, what was she doing with her clockwork when the young man wasn’t looking, I wondered, why did she keep chatting with his brother? So with that idea came the story and all the little background steampunk elements that ended up in the book.
What is your favorite genre to read?
Fantasy, romance, classics. I read pretty much anything.
Who is your favorite character from fiction (not including your own)?
I have several. Elric of Melniboné, and Lily Bart and Lawrence Selden from House of Mirth by Edith Wharton, Clarissa Dalloway, from Mrs. Dalloway by Virginia Woolf, Jacob Flanders from Jacob’s Room (also by Virginia Woolf), Jon and Kira from The Yden series by Suzanne G. Rogers, (also Jessamyn from her book Jessamyn’s folly.), King Arthur, Morgana, Tibby (from the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants by Ann Brashares), and inspector Abberline from the movie From Hell, Zoe, and indeed the whole crew of Firefly, and many, many, many more.
What are you working on at the moment?
At the moment, I’m getting Vesta’s Clockwork Companions out there, and working on the next book in my paranormal fantasy series, Antique Magic, as well as the next book in my fantasy romance series Celtic Stewards Chronicles.
What books will we see from you in coming months?
I have several I had hoped to have out this year, but realistically I might only manage one more this year. Hopefully, that will be the Antique Magic book I mentioned above depending on rewrites and edits and all that usual pre-publication jazz. If I’m really lucky, I might have two, out before the end of the year, but I’m not holding my breath.Where to buy Vesta’s Clockwork Companions

RLFblog has attracted so many visitors we crashed the server three times in the past month. On September 20th, we had no visitors on the blog so that we could move to a new, more powerful and roomier server. This should hold us for a bit! It also means I can add even more services.
