    Livia Quinn, 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.

    Men of Honor Boxed Set by Livia Quinn

    Genre Contemporary Romance, Military
    Book heat level (based on movie ratings): PG-13
    Ridge “Take ’em off, Tucker. Tucker. Tucker…” Ridge Romano is an inventor, Ranger, mentor, the consummate planner. So how did he wind up on stage in nothing but his trousers and tie beside two cover models, with a hundred women screaming at him to take it off? It seemed like a recipe for harmless fun. One curious CEO follows a gorgeous redhead onto the conference floor. Add a hundred romance writers at a “meeting”. Toss in some false assumptions. Throw out a lifetime of good behavior and Ridge is up to his Special Forces tattoo in manure. Now to make sure no one finds out…
    Luc Larue knows how it looks when the sexy cop and her partner respond to a silent alarm at the grocery where he stopped for a six-pack. Luc’s job with KPI requires certain…attire and equipment.
    The tall, dark and deadly looking mercenary Delilah Burke confronts at the robbery scene is sexy as sin, but is he a hero or a con? Then, trouble arrives from his past and Del is faced with a choice to believe the evidence against Luc, or trust her heart.
    Nick What happened? He’d been dodging the lightning, fighting the wind and rain, looking for a place to hide…when he’d seen the faint glow in the distance. There was no answer at the door so he’d broken in, entered… and there she was, a beautiful Valkyrie. Wielding her sword, she screamed as she struck him—for no good reason—and then everything went black. Everything.

    Storm Crazy

    Welcome to #FreeBookFriday on #RLFblog Need a weekend read? @lizadamsbooksLivia Quinn (NEW COVER!)
    Welcome to Destiny, or should I say Middle Earth…
    I’m Sheriff Jack Lang. After an exciting career as a Navy pilot, Destiny seemed like the perfect place to settle down – safe, sane and secure. But that ship sailed when I met Tempest Pomeroy – sexy redheaded mail lady and trouble magnet. Tempe never fails to test the limits of my patience or the law. Every time I think it’s the last straw, up pops another haystack.
    My name is Tempest Pomeroy, and my human job is delivering the mail. I’m also a Paramortal like my family, or I’m supposed to be. If I didn’t have a few little talents, I’d think I was adopted. To say I was having a bad day would be like saying Katrina dropped a little rain on New Orleans. My brother’s genie bottle is missing, my mother’s AWOL, and the sheriff and my ex-lover are squaring off like yard dogs staking a claim over a poodle. I am no one’s poodle. I’ve denied my heritage for most of my life but all this chaos is a sign of my quickening Tempestaerie power.
    Oh, and the sheriff? He thinks he’s settled in a normal, quaint small town—like Mayberry?! We’ll see how that turns out… Things better settle down soon, ’cause I’m about to go…Storm Crazy.

    Perdition House

    Welcome to #FreeBookFriday on #RLFblog Need a weekend read? @lizadamsbooksBonnie Edwards
    Welcome to Perdition House: a house of sin, secrets, and seduction.
    Sometimes ghost stories are naughty and erotic…
    Faye Grantham inherits Perdition House, her family’s secret shame, and expects to sell the property and marry her fiancé.
    Trapped in the bordello for decades, the spirits of the women who worked there tell their stories to Faye in dreams.
    The “girls” control Faye’s libido, influence her decisions and drive her into the arms of two very different men.
    Liam Watson wears comfort like most men wear cologne. With an interest in adventurous sex, he’s more man than he first seems.
    Mark McLeod is a strong, decisive businessman who was not meant to be more than a one-night stand. But Mark hopes to continue Faye’s lessons in sensuality.
    Enthralled by the mansion Faye’s must re-examine her engagement, her business decisions, and her beliefs.
    As the spirits reveal themselves one by one, Faye learns how they came to Perdition House, why they joined the women there and some of the secrets that a high-class bordello could hold.
    But can decades-old secrets affect Faye’s life today?

    The Mad Monk’s Treasure

    Welcome to #FreeBookFriday on #RLFblog Need a weekend read? @lizadamsbooksKris Bock
    The lost Victorio Peak treasure is the stuff of legends—a heretic Spanish priest’s gold mine, made richer by the spoils of bandits and an Apache raider. When Erin, a quiet history professor, uncovers a clue that may pinpoint the lost treasure cave, she prepares for adventure. But when a hit and run driver nearly kills her, she realizes she’s not the only one after the treasure. And is Drew, the handsome helicopter pilot who found her bleeding in a ditch, really a hero, or one of the enemy?
    Erin isn’t sure she can trust Drew with her heart, but she’ll need his help to track down the treasure. She heads into the New Mexico wilderness with her brainy best friend Camie and a feisty orange cat. The wilderness holds its own dangers, from wild animals to sudden storms. Plus, the sinister men hunting Erin are determined to follow her all the way to the treasure, no matter where the twisted trail leads. Erin won’t give up an important historical find without a fight, but is she ready to risk her life—and her heart?
    “The story has it all – action, romance, danger, intrigue, lost treasure, not to mention a sizzling relationship….”
    “Great balance of history, romance, and adventure. Smart romance with an “Indiana Jones” feel.”

  • Paranormal

    Storm Crazy Bonus Edition by Livia Quinn @LiviaQuinn #RLFblog #Paranormal #PNR

    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.

    Storm Crazy Bonus Edition (Books 1 and 2)

    Storm Crazy Bonus Edition is Book 1 and 2 in the Destiny Paramortals’ world of tempestaeries (storm witches), dragons, shifters, vampires and fae.
    Welcome to Destiny, or I should say Middle Earth…
    *Jack Lang, sheriff, former Navy pilot. * To say Destiny was not what I expected would be like saying Wolverine’s fingernails were long enough for a manicure. I’d been looking for Mayberry, a quaint little safe town to raise my daughter. That ship sailed when I met Tempest Pomeroy, who turned out to be a storm witch with a djinni brother and an ex who was… hell, I don’t know what he is. But I wasn’t sure I could stay. I had a teenage daughter to consider.
    *Tempe Pomeroy, Tempestaerie, mail lady, and – as Jack likes to say – trouble magnet.* Isn’t it just like a man to exit a relationship when he finds out a woman has a few little secrets? Following Jack’s, um, enlightenment, he finally started investigating my little brother’s disappearance, but time is running out and our relationship has gone from attraction to suspicion, support to friendship, romance to oh-my-god-get-away-from-me revulsion.
    Jack’s an ex-Navy pilot. He says he wants to know “everything”. He may stick around, help me save my brother and discover the whereabouts of my parents, but I doubt he’ll still want to take me to the Mardi Gras ball, once he knows “everything”. He’ll probably take the first jet out of Middle Earth. ‘Cause there’s a lot of everything…
    Book five, Take These Broken Wings completes Tempe and Jack’s um…series of epiphanies, grin. But the series continues with River’s story, Blood Moon, book six, available now for 99 cents in the Moonlight Magic box.

    Genre Paranormal

    Book heat level (based on movie ratings): PG-13

    Tell us about All I Want for Christmas

    It’s a Christmas weekend full of love and Larue social media is atwitter at the return of their hometown hero, Ducane Beauregard Larue at the only place to celebrate Christmas Eve—the Romanos’. Catch up with all the characters from the Men of Honor series and as a bonus get a peek into the lives of upcoming characters…
    Beau hates Christmas. It reminds him of what he can’t have. He’s been avoiding homecomings and the biggest reason is unavoidable this Christmas – Madison Hart, who has loved Beau for most of her adult life. Whenever rumors surface about him returning home, Madison hyperventilates at the prospect of seeing him again.
    Samantha Larue’s baby is overdue and everyone is hovering including Jed, who ended their relationship last summer because kids weren’t “in his future”.
    Bad guys don’t scare Delilah Burke but Luc’s mother and five sisters have her stalling on setting a date to marry the man she loves.
    Nothing could make Buffy Romano happier than delivering a few surprises and helping the people she loves find love. Luckily, a Christmas Eve miracle confirms what she already knows – that with a little nudge, all her love ones’ happily-ever-afters will happen in the not so distant future.

    New Server — New Power

    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. Look for new things in 2018, such as Free Book Friday and other goodies for readers (and authors)!

    Not only does RLF post automatically to Triberr with a reach of several million, each post is also featured on the Romance Lives Forever Pinterest board http://www.pinterest.com/kayelleallen/romance-lives-forever-rlfblog/ as well as on Facebook. https://www.facebook.com/RomanceLivesForever/ and Twitter https://www.twitter.com/kayelleallen When you like, follow and share it increases the reach. Thank you for sharing with your readers and friends!

    Romance Lives Forever uses Signup Genius to schedule guests. The system also reminds authors of their visit. One post is available each day. Once you choose a date, no one else will be able to take it. You can sign up for more than one visit; however, each visit must be in a different month.

    Ridge by Livia Quinn @liviaquinn #RLFblog #military #romance

    Love…when you least expect it.

    As a teenager in DC, Livia tagged along with her Daddy to Redskins games and explored the rich history of our country, then she moved to the bayous of Louisiana where the weather and culture of this region inspired her writing, including her storm faerie, Tempest and her military heroes. Livia’s many jobs as mail lady, salesperson, plant manager, business owner and professional singer are the conduit her characters have used to relate their stories to her. Think of her as her characters’ biographer! Down by the bayou she is protected from the alligators and bears by her husband and feisty Pomeranian, Dusty.

    Ridge, Book 1

    Famous fashion model Lana Maisel could have had her choice of men. But she left that life behind at the ripe old age of twenty-four to pursue her dream of a photography and production studio and now she needs one man to be the face of her franchise. The Calloway women in Buffy’s life have always said “when you meet the man you’re going to spend the rest of your life with, you’ll know.”

    Ridge Romano didn’t know what possessed him to get on stage during a strip bingo contest. He’d been in D.C. testifying before a Congressional committee on veterans issues, then he’d followed the gorgeous redhead off the elevator… and here he was… up to his Special Forces tattoo in manure.
