    Merry Chris Mas a Love Play Matchmaking Clare Dargin @clare_dargin #RLFblog

    Merry Chris Mas
    This quick interview includes info about the author, and introduces
    the story.

    About the
    Author

    I am a fan
    girl and scifi geek who loves romance novels. Not a contradiction by any standards
    if you consider the love story between Han Solo and Princess Leia in the original
    Star Wars trilogy (and we won’t even talk about that taboo thing with Luke and Leia–
    hello! I don’t write that kind of stuff nor go for it. Anyways, moving on…)
    I’ve been
    writing stories since I was a child and bored everyone I knew with my little made
    up tales of I can’t remember but all I do know is that they were precious gems that
    developed into gold mines. Okay maybe I’m exaggerating but my parents did encourage
    to continue writing stories.
    My first novel,
    Cold Warriors, a scifi romance was published in 2007 and that just fed my insatiable
    need to keep entertaining people with stories of love conquering all. I live in
    the midwest and am still writing hoping one day to convert the entire world to my
    way of telling stories.

    Interview with Clare Dargin

    Why did you write this book?
    I had to when
    the inspiration struck. I’ve always wanted to write a menage romance and this story
    was the perfect fit for that type of romance.
    What is your favorite genre to read?
    It depends
    on the mood I’m in… it can be contemporary, scifi, paranormal, erotic, menage,
    mainstream… It just depends on what catches my eye or strikes my fancy.
    Who is your favorite character from fiction (not including your
    own)?
    It’s weird
    but I have favorite characters who live in tv and movies but love certain books
    or series. It’s just the way my brain works when I see things. I’m a visual type
    of person though I work with words primarilly– yes it’s strange but that’s who
    I am.
    What are you working on at the moment, and will see from you
    in coming months?
    Presently,
    I am working on two paranormal books that will be the first of two different series
    whilest playing around with a couple of ideas for the sequel to The Love Play Matchmaking
    Service. In the coming months you will see the paranormal books published first
    followed by hopefully two in the Love Play series.
    Please tell us about your latest book.
    Jilly Reimers
    wants love but can’t find it. Chris Spinell is a veteran of the war in Afghanistan
    who suffers from PTSD and a haunting feeling that something is missing in his life.
    Chris Poole is also an Afghanistan war veteran is ready to break out of his shell
    but is unsure how.
    With Christmas
    just around the corner, they decide not to spend it alone. Believing The Love Play
    Matchmaking Service to be just what they need for a night of fun and passion, they
    sign up. But when the guys show up and see that they’ve been set up on a menage,
    the only one happy about it is Jilly.
    Their consultant, called an Eros, assures Jilly that the service
    has a perfect track record but she’s certain they’ll be the first ones to get their
    money back. Will they have a very merry Christmas? Or will the three spend yet another
    one alone?

    About the Book

    Genre: Science Fiction Romance
    Publisher: Romance Lives Forever Books
    Author Kayelle Allen
    Book heat level (based on movie ratings): PG13
    Travel to a godforsaken planet on the outskirts of space. Check.
    Hold intrusive military goons at bay. Check. Find an invisible man in a different
    dimension. Check. Finish out the vacation TRAIL yanked you back from to do it? Easier
    said than done. Yanked back from their first vacation in ages, Jee and Dane get
    handed a top priority mission. The pay is better than they’ve earned before as agents
    for the Trace, Rescue, and Identification League. After this, they might not need
    jobs. They’re the best there is, and the item, person, or secret hasn’t been invented
    that these two can’t recover. Until now. After all, how do you find an invisible
    man in another dimension? The archaeologist in charge can’t afford this fee, and
    neither can the military. So the real question is who — or what — is behind the
    request to trail Kaiwulf?
