    Hollywood producer Trent Parker has one goal – to own the film option for the breakout novel Sunset in Maui. His problem? Charisse Whitloch. She’ll do anything to produce the film. Trent can stop her, but not without getting close to her, a bond he can’t risk.
    Charisse has found the film project that will prove she’s her own woman. One person stands in her way – Trent Parker. She’s faced opposition before, but she isn’t prepared for Trent. Can her charm soften Trent’s heart of stone?
    Trent’s defenses against Charisse crumble – loving her will heal the darkness in his soul and open the door to a secret he buried long ago. When Charisse is threatened, she and Trent face her adversaries. They piece together a plot more sinister than any Hollywood movie, but the key to their survival lies in Trent’s past – the key that will lead to Trent’s destruction.

    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.”

    Ariel’s Super Power of Love by Liz Adams @lizadamsbooks #RLFblog #superhero

    Today’s featured book is Ariel’s Super Power of Love, an erotic superhero adventure by Liz Adams.

    Fifty Shades of Wonder Woman? Better than that!

    Ariel Garrison is nothing like the Wonder Woman character in comic books—no tiara, no bracelets, no magic rope, and no invisible plane—but she does have superhuman strength, a secret she must guard with her life as she spends her graduating year in St. Petersburg, Russia, in a foreign exchange program. Planning to work for the CIA, Ariel has one guiding rule: never fall in love. Doing so could give her enemies leverage and put her lover’s life in jeopardy. When the dangerous liaisons with her host family lead to irresistible temptations, will her superpowers be enough to protect the one she shouldn’t love? Or will she lose her man and her lifelong dream of pursuing justice?

    WARNING: In Ariel’s Super Power of Love: The Erotic Wonders of a Super Heroic Woman, Ariel is a vengeful sleuth who pushes her own boundaries redefining what’s right and wrong in every situation, including the bedroom. One reviewer complained that there was too much sex. Ariel’s racy journey of lace and lingerie includes solo F, M/f, F/f, M/f/M/M, and a stage performance that would make Miley Cyrus blush. For 18 years and older.

    Is It True: Ariel’s Super Power of Love by Liz Adams @lizadamsbooks #RLFblog #romance

    Play Is It True with today’s guest Liz Adams, author of Ariel’s Super Power of Love, an erotic superhero adventure. 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.

    Fifty Shades of Wonder Woman? Better than that!

    Ariel Garrison is nothing like the Wonder Woman character in comic books—no tiara, no bracelets, no magic rope, and no invisible plane—but she does have superhuman strength, a secret she must guard with her life as she spends her graduating year in St. Petersburg, Russia, in a foreign exchange program.

When the dangerous liaisons with her host family lead to irresistible temptations, will her superpowers be enough to protect the one she shouldn’t love? Or will she lose her man and her lifelong dream of pursuing justice?

    WARNING: In Ariel’s Super Power of Love: The Erotic Wonders of a Super Heroic Woman, Ariel is a vengeful sleuth who pushes her own boundaries redefining what’s right and wrong in every situation, including the bedroom.

For 18 years and older.

    Book heat level (based on movie ratings): Rated R

    Genre: An Erotic Superhero Adventure

    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?
    Nope, but it’s my first ebook that finaled in a contest.
    this book is part of a series?
    No, it’s a standalone (but she isn’t alone most of the book, much less stand!)
    you lost sleep while writing this book?
    That’s a personal question! But yes, and those were some of the best hours of lost sleep I ever enjoyed.
    you did research for this book?
    Tons, yes!
    some characters in this book are not human? (pets for example)
    Yes. She’s superhuman, and would like to be someone’s pet.
    this book has more than one genre?
    Yes. There’s the thrill of the chase after her father’s killer, so it’s more than the erotic romance.
    you speak more than one language?
    No.
    you grew up where you live now?
    Yes.
    you love to read?
    Ironically, no. I got C’s in English for my horrible analysis skills, and honors in English for my creative writing skills. So I spend more time thinking about how to evoke the emotion than reading.
    you are never late?
    Ugh. Almost never, but when I am I hate myself for it!
    you love pizza?
    Yes!
    you love sushi?
    Meh.
    you have a pet?
    Yes. Though he’s technically a cat, he’s more of a cat-dog-koala. He always greets us at the door like a dog, and hangs on our shoulder like a koala.
    Where can we find your book online?
