    Intergalactic Seduction by Izzy Szyn @izzySzyn #RLFblog #Fantasy #GayRomance

    It’s been ten years since Bailey Augustine had last seen Axelis, the girl she met when she wandered away from cheerleading camp. They’d become fast friends and even though there was a language barrier, Bailey never felt closer to anyone.

    When Bailey returns to the area where the camp once stood, she is confronted by the reality that the girl she loved is now a wanted woman fighting for The Opposition trying to bring down an evil space overlord.

    Bailey is faced with the choice of whether to go back to Earth or stay and fight by the side of the person she wasn’t sure she could ever live without.

    Bella and the Beast by Izzy Szyn @izzySzyn #RLFblog #fantasy

    Bella and the Beast by Izzy Szyn @izzySzyn #RLFblog #fantasyToday’s featured book is Bella and the Beast, a Fantasy Fairytale by Izzy Szyn.

    You only thought you knew the story of Beauty and the Beast.

    When Bella’s father runs into the woman known as the Beast, she agrees to take his place as a prisoner for the next six months. Plenty of time to get out of her pending marriage to the son of the village’s wealthiest family.

    When Bella is sent a list of demands and rules, one rule stood out: Don’t fall in love.

    That seemed simple enough, for who could fall in love with a Beast?

    Is It True: Seducing Cat by Adriana Kraft @AdrianaKraft #RLFblog #Romance

    Is It True: Seducing Cat by Adriana Kraft @AdrianaKraft #RLFblog #RomancePlay Is It True with today’s guest Adriana Kraft, author of Seducing Cat (Meghan’s Playhouse, Book 1), an LGBT Erotic Romance. This is a game in which authors answer yes and no questions. They can elaborate on answers as much as they choose.

    First, tell us about your book.

    What could college English Professor Caitlin Shanahan ever have in common with the brash carpenter Kurt Davis? The sexy sprite Meghan Keenan, that’s what.

    Level headed English Professor Caitlin Shanahan has finally earned tenure and purchased the century-old two-story house of her dreams in the college town of Burntside, Wisconsin—at thirty-four, she’d better face facts: her future is teaching college and writing plays, not falling in love. So why is she so drawn to foxy little hometown actress Meghan Keenan, who’s rented her upstairs apartment, or worse, to the girl’s gorgeous hunk of a lover Kurt Davis, a carpenter who’s never even been to college?

    Twenty-year-old Meg has a plan. First she’ll seduce the reluctant professor, then she’ll share her sexual delights with both Cat and her brawny carpenter, and when she’s successfully brought them together, she can make her escape and explore what’s beyond the only town she’s ever lived in.

    Kurt can’t stand the up-tight professor who’s hired him to build a gazebo and refurbish her old house—the house he wanted for himself. Even if Meg’s scheme succeeds, he knows Caitlin would never look at him twice. No need to go there in his fantasies…

    Book heat level (based on movie ratings): Four Flames ( R )

    Genre: Erotic Romance

    Now, tell us Yes or No for each answer below. Feel free to explain any (or none) of your answers.

    Is it true:

    this is your first book?
    No. Our first erotic romance was published in 2007, and we’ve never looked back. With the release of Seducing Cat, we now have a total of 40 novels, novellas and short stories published.
    this book is part of a series?
    Yes, though it didn’t start out that way. We planned Seducing Cat as a one-shot erotic romp, intending to create a structure to maximize tantalizing erotic scenes. But once characters are created, they take on a life of their own…There are now a total of six books in the Meghan’s Playhouse series, and Seducing Cat is Book One.
    you lost sleep while writing this book?
    No… Unless you count research. See below:
    you did research for this book?
    Um, yes, but it might be TMI. We’ll just say we’ve learned a great deal about the polyamory lifestyle Meg thrives on. We like to keep readers guessing!
    some characters in this book are not human? (pets for example)
    Yes. The century-old four-square house Cat has just purchased plays a central role. It’s modeled on a house we loved and left (had to move) in the Midwest a few years back – 3300 square feet, a central oak staircase, beveled glass windowed double doors to the dining room, living room, and the solarium beyond… So we’ve made the house immortal in Seducing Cat. Without it, Meg wouldn’t have a place to live, she’d never have succeeded in seducing Cat, and Kurt’s path might never have crossed Cat’s.
    this book has more than one genre?
    Not really – Erotic Romance, pure and simple. Some sub genres, though – LGBT, polyamory, and Ménage. Both Meg and Cat are bisexual.
    you speak more than one language?
    Yes—and since there are two of us writing together as Adriana Kraft, I’m going to cop to all of them: Besides English, between us we have French, German, Spanish, and a mystery oriental language. I’ll let readers guess, but I might or might not answer truthfully.
    you grew up where you live now?
    No, neither one of us. We now live in the southwest. I grew up on the east coast, and my husband in the upper Midwest, where we set a lot of our stories, like Seducing Cat, which takes place in Wisconsin.
    you love to read?
    Do you really have to ask? Mr. Kraft’s parents used to get mad at him for finishing all his Christmas books by the end of Christmas day. I once didn’t hear the rest of the family call me to come downstairs for ice cream because I was buried in a book. And both of us as children sneaked flashlights to read under the covers after we were supposed to be in bed.
    you are never late?
    Mr. Kraft will laugh at this one! He is never late, and I am pretty chronically a little late. I always think there’s time to do one more thing before we head out the door…
    you love pizza?
    Yes, if it’s locally made from fresh ingredients and not from a chain restaurant.
    you love sushi?
    No, neither of us!
    you have a pet?
    No. A sadness—we used to.

    5 Easy Questions: Raven J Spencer @RavenJSpencer #RLFblog #LesbianRomance

    A Perfect Dream 
    5 Easy Questions is an interview is designed to be quick,
    easy, and fun. Today’s guest is Raven J Spencer.
    What is your go-to meal
    to order when you dine out? Your favorite “I know it will hit the spot”
    item.
    Depending on the occasion and place, it’s either pizza (Thai
    style is a favorite) or chicken with peanut sauce. Italian is comfort food all the
    way, in the restaurant or at home. When dining out, we have an Asian fusion restaurant
    close by that we enjoy a lot.
    What were you like when
    you were in school?
    The shy one. You’d never guess she’d grow up to write erotica.
    Although, I was always reading or writing, so there were some hints. I wasn’t even
    out to anyone at the time.
    Would you rather stay
    inside and watch snow falling, or get out in it and build a snowman?
    That depends on the mood…we have long winters, so there’s always
    the opportunity to do both. It’s good for writing discipline as well, except you
    know you’ve had enough when your friends post pictures of spring flowers, and there’s
    still snow in your own backyard!
    What was the last movie
    you watched (home or theater)?
    The One-Hundred Foot Journey. It’s a wonderful movie about overcoming
    obstacles, stereotypes and finding what is really your dream. And food—it’s a feast
    for the senses.
    If you’re on Twitter,
    what’s your favorite hashtag to watch?
    I like the #MondayBlogs, created by author Rachel Thompson. You
    retweet other authors’ blogs, and yours gets retweeted in return. It’s a great way
    to discover new blogs and also get your own noticed.

    Interview with Virginia Miller

    Tell us about yourself,
    please.
    Hi, I’m Virginia Miller and I’m from London, England.
    I’m currently living in California,
    though–I can hardly believe it! I was accepted to train at Los Carlos Tennis Academy,
    and I’m now mingling with many of my idols. I have to keep pinching myself to make
    sure I’m not dreaming.
    What’s your internal limitation?
    Meaning, what is it about you that makes it so you cannot do what it is you need
    to do during this story?
    I really, really want to tell Nadia Gorlando how I feel about
    her. She’s a top tennis player, not just in the Academy, but in the world, and she’s
    also my mentor. There are so many reasons I can’t tell her, though. She’s my mentor,
    we work closely together, I’m afraid. Plus, I don’t even know if she’s into women!
    What inner doubt causes
    you the most difficulty?
    Doubting my own abilities. I must be doing something right because
    I managed to get into the Academy, but I often find it difficult to believe that
    I could ever be a top tennis player. Nadia has a great deal of faith in me, however,
    so I’m slowly starting to believe in myself more.
    What’s your external complication?
    In the story world your author created, explain what it is you fear most.
    Failure is pretty damn terrifying. I’ve worked damn hard to get
    even as far as the Academy, and now I’m here I want to go all the way. I know there’s
    a lot of time and effort in front of me, and I don’t mind. I just don’t want to
    let myself, my parents, Nadia and the Academy down.
    What is your family like?
    They’re great. My parents have always been very supportive, ever
    since the first moment I had a tennis racket in my hand and got hooked on the sport.
    They’ve been behind me every step of the way, and I owe them a lot–without them,
    I wouldn’t be at the Academy at all. They wanted me to have a backup plan, though,
    and insisted I didn’t rely wholly on tennis to get me through life and into a career–and
    threatened to stop paying for my tennis tuition if I didn’t try hard in my school
    education and exams. I’m so glad they did, as education is so important.
    What special skills do
    you rely on?
    I don’t. As I said above my parents refused to let me rely wholeheartedly
    on tennis to get me through life and a career, and as I grew up I realized they
    were absolutely right. Yes, my tennis playing has gotten me from a ratty court in
    south London to
    the world’s top training facility, but that isn’t just down to my tennis skills.
    It’s down to hard work, sheer determination and the people I have supporting me.
    I’m so grateful for them.
    Are you happy with the
    way your story ended? Why or why not?
    Oh yes, absolutely. There were lots of ups and downs along the
    way, but the ending was certainly satisfactory. I’d really like to find out what
    happens next, though!

    About the Writer

    You have the length of
    a tweet (140 characters) to describe yourself as a writer. Let’s see what you can
    do.
    Lucy Felthouse is driven, supportive, writes lots of different
    stories, takes too much on and adores her readers and fellow Brit Babes.
    Why did you choose to
    write about this character?
    I’m not sure, really. She didn’t appear in the first Raw Talent
    book, Grand Slam, but Nadia Gorlando did. I was specifically wanting to write a
    F/F erotic romance novella for Ellora’s Cave’s Hot Pink series, so I figured it
    would be fun to take the character of Nadia, who’d had a few appearances in Grand
    Slam, and give her a love story of her own.
    When you wrote about this
    character, what made you the most happy? What made you the most sad?
    Giving Virginia
    what she really wanted made me very happy. But some of the stuff I put her through
    in the interim was pretty sad. Sorry, Virginia…
    Why do you write?
    Because I can’t not write! I get really grumpy if I don’t.
    What do you want to write
    next?
    My next project is a M/M military erotic romance novella, called
    Desert Heat, which is going to be set in Afghanistan.
    What other character from
    this book do you want to write about? Care to tell us why?
    Peter Ross is actually due his own story. Lily and I have been
    working on it, but I’m not sure when it’ll get finished–things are crazy busy in
    both our worlds!
    Are any sequels planned
    for this book?
    Sort of. The Raw Talent
    series is a sports romance series by myself and Lily Harlem. We have both co-authored
    and solo projects in the series, and so far the books have had crossover between
    the other books–that is, you can read them as standalones, but certain characters
    and events will appear in more than one title. So there’s definitely a chance that
    Virginia and Nadia will get another outing in future releases, but they probably
    won’t be the main characters.
    Is there anything you’d
    like to say to your readers?
    Yes–huge thanks to all of those that buy and read my books.
    I couldn’t do this without you–you’re totally awesome!
