    When Mia’s secret shows up in the form of a stalker, Drew’s determined

    way? And while Mia trusts Drew with her safety, can she trust in love when it happens
    with just one look?

    Interview with Shane

    What is it that you want,
    but cannot have? Authors call this the conflict of the story.
    My brother. He’s been kidnapped. Adrian is the only family I have left and I’ll
    do anything to get him back.
    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?
    This situation is crazy, but that’s not surprising. Adrian and
    I have had an unusual life. We come from a family of vampire hunters. To free him,
    I need to seduce a vampire. That’s not really a problem. I’ve lured them before
    so that I can destroy them, but I’ve never met a vampire quite like Detective Bryce
    Tarunson. Before I met Bryce, all I cared about was getting Adrian back, no matter what.
    What inner doubt causes
    you the most difficulty?
    For the first time in my life, I have feelings other than hatred
    for a vampire. I never thought a vampire could be like Bryce. He tells me he’s one
    of the good guys, but that goes against everything I know about vampires. He hasn’t
    given me a reason not to trust him, though, and he has gone out of his way to help
    me get Adrian back.
    Tell us about your significant
    other, that person who makes living worthwhile.
    It’s so difficult. That person is Bryce. We should be enemies,
    but from the moment we met I wanted him. He has strength and integrity. Even though
    he’s a vampire, I want to trust him. I know I can trust him. Yeah, the sex is great,
    but there’s a lot more between us than that.
    What is your family like?
    Adrian
    is the only blood family I have left. Our grandparents and our parents were killed
    by vampires. After they died, we went to live with our uncle, but he was killed
    in the same way. Adrian and I were home schooled, mostly because a big part of our
    education was the history of vampires and how to kill them.
    What special skills do
    you rely on?
    I rely on everything I’ve been taught about how to track and
    destroy vampires. I also have a special skill of my own. It’s more a gift than a
    skill. I’m immune to mind control, so vampires can’t manipulate me in that way.
    Are you happy with the
    way your story ended? Why or why not?
    I’m with Bryce. He didn’t betray me, but there are still lose
    ends regarding Adrian.
    The last thing I expected was to fall in love. Bryce owns a piece of my heart now
    and I’m fine with it. Better than fine. I only wish things had been different for
    Adrian and for Bryce’s
    friends too. They tried to help us, and they’ve paid the price for it. Bittersweet
    is how I’d describe the end of my story.

    About You: Questions for the writer.

    When you wrote about this
    character, what made you the most happy? What made you the most sad?
    I was happy to see Shane learn to trust Bryce and fall in love.
    They both have had their share of pain, that’s for sure. Everything they went through
    in the past made me sad. They lost a lot, but together they’ve found some peace.
    What do you want to write
    next?
    Right now I’m working on an erotic fantasy romance set in the
    same world as my Knights of the Ruby Order series. The hero and heroine are driving
    each other crazy in every possible way, so it’s been a lot of fun to write so far.
    What other character from
    this book do you want to write about? Care to tell us why?
    When I ended this story, I had plans to give Adrian one of his own. He falls
    in love with his captor. Tarun has been the villain of the entire series, but in
    Fangs and Floggers, he gets to tell his side of the story.
    Is there anything you’d
    like to say to your readers?
    Thank you so much for reading my stories! I hope you enjoy the
    Weapons of Redemption series. I truly loved writing about these guys.

    David McIntyre has been enjoying the heck out of his current

    to like? Stunning scenery, great food, sunny beaches…and a secret crush on his hot,

    Everything changes when a tropical storm and engine failure force
    a crash landing on a deserted atoll with a WWII listening post. Rick’s injuries,
    and a lack of food and water, make rescue imperative, but it takes an intensely
    vivid dream about the war to make David see that Rick is more than just a pilot
    to him. Will David gather his courage to confess his feelings to Rick—before it’s
    too late?

    Interview with Randee Ellis

    Tell us about yourself,
    please.
    Around these parts I’m nothing special or different from most
    other females. I’m a rancher and I work 365 days a year, caring for over five hundred
    head of cattle, horses and my dog, Dusty. My uncle Rex and I have run the ranch
    since my parents were killed in a plane crash when I was fifteen. I graduated college
    in Animal Husbandry and business. I had a boyfriend who dropped me like a cow drops
    a dead calf and I plan on spending the rest of my life with animals instead of men.
    What is it that you want,
    but cannot have? Authors call this the conflict of the story.
    I don’t even like to say it…no matter how I try, I still have
    this damn attraction to the opposite sex. I wish the need to be with a man would
    just go the hell away!
    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?
    Simple answer…I love a Wrangler butt. A man who oozes desire
    and confidence and a little bit of conceit. I also long to have a life-time companionship
    like my parents had with each other. They had so much fun together, no matter the
    hardship of the situation.
    What inner doubt causes
    you the most difficulty?
    That I’m not complete without a family and a man.
    What’s your external complication?
    In the story world your author created, explain what it is you
    fear most. The fear that I could lose what my parents fought so hard to create,
    the ranch and living on their own.
    Tell us about your significant
    other, that person who makes living worthwhile.
    Well, hell, that’s a loaded question, I’m not even sure that
    he would like the term (significant other) he’s been married and he swears he’ll
    never do it again, but he does look at me as if he could ravish me for about twenty-two
    hours.
    What would that person say about you?
    That I am the biggest pain in the ass, and that he watches my
    ass when I ride my horse and that he wants my ass…
    What is your family like?
    My uncle Rex is like a father to me and his girlfriend Ceil is
    like a mother. I also have a cousin named Miles that is a Ken-Doll without a dick
    and I dislike him. He seems to have not got the drift that I don’t care for him.
    What special skills do
    you rely on?
    First and foremost, my intuition. I think my mother is helping
    me from the other side. Helping me to make the right decisions for the ranch. However,
    I think we may have screwed up when I hired Chase–a total stranger to help out
    after my uncles heart attack.
    If someone from your past
    showed up, who would you NOT want it to be, and why?
    My dad. He was a perfectionist and I don’t think the ranch is
    now being run by me as good as he would have run it.
    Are you happy with the
    way your story ended?
    Hell no! it hasn’t ended at all. We just got through one crisis
    and I am in love with Chase Gregory, but there are so many hurdles still to cross.
    What’s that old Carpenter song…We’ve only just begun!

    Pushin’ Buttons @empetrova #RLFblog

    Pushin’ Buttons 
    Cover Love at Romance Lives Forever is a short intro to a book
    and includes a cover, blurb, buy links, and social media contacts for the author.
    Today’s featured book is Pushin’ Buttons, the Boot Knockers Ranch, Book 1 by Em
    Petrova.
    It’s all in her head. Until she falls into the hands–and hearts–of
    two cowboys.
    Sexual dysfunction. The words make Sybill cringe, but after one
    too many failed relationships, she has to face reality. Her O-button is broken,
    big time. Sick of sitting on the sexual sidelines, she books a week at Boot Knockers
    Ranch. If a passel of rugged cowboys vying to bring her bliss can’t get her off,
    nothing will.
    Hugh had planned to sit out this week’s rotation of sexual therapy,
    but when he spots sultry Sybill, he pulls rank. His bone-deep urge to possess her
    isn’t enough to coax elusive orgasms out of her body, though. And his resolve to
    give the lady whatever she needs wavers when she shyly makes a mind-blowing request.
    Riggs stepped aside when Hugh muscled in to claim Sybill, but
    he jumps at the chance to fulfill her ultimate fantasy–a threesome. But once they
    come together, all barriers are stripped away, exposing his love for the one man–and
    woman–he’d break every last rule to make his own.
    Warning: This ain’t your daddy’s ranch. Contains cowboys administering
    sexual therapy to frustrated ladies–and each other. Fresh batteries recommended.
    You’re gonna need ’em!

    Mutual Interest in Numbers @LindaBanche #RLFblog #Regency

    A Mutual
    Interest in Numbers 
    Cover Love at Romance Lives Forever is a short intro to a
    book and includes a cover, blurb, buy links, and social media contacts for the
    author. Today’s featured book is A Mutual Interest in Numbers by Linda Banche.
    A Mutual Interest in Numbers, Love and the Library
    Book 2: Ellen and Laurence
    Lightning doesn’t strike in the same place twice. Does it?
    Regency gentleman Mr. Laurence Coffey doesn’t care for libraries
    and novels. His interests run to steam engines and mathematics. But his friend found
    the lady of his dreams at the library over a copy of Pride and Prejudice. Laurence
    yearns for a lady of his own, one of wit and cleverness as well as beauty. And while
    he doesn’t expect his friend’s luck, visiting the library can’t hurt.
    Miss Ellen Palmer enjoys mathematics, but, unfortunately, many
    men frown on bluestockings. She loves the library and its mathematics books as well
    as its novels, especially her favorite, Pride and Prejudice. How she would like
    to find her own Mr. Darcy. Perhaps someday, somewhere, she can discover a man who
    wants an intelligent woman.
    At the library, they both reach for a copy of Pride and Prejudice
    at the same time. Can their mutual interest in numbers–and this particular novel–make
    their dreams come true?
    A sweet, traditional Regency romance novella, but not a retelling
    of Pride and Prejudice. And there’s a duck. Quack.
