Mason from False Hope by Marianne Rice @Mariannericeaut #RLFblog #romance
Marianne Rice shares
details about the creation of Mason Tucker in
the book False Hope.About the BookTitle False HopeGenre Contemporary RomanceAuthor Marianne RiceBook heat level (based on movie ratings): PG13Emma Fulton never had to worry about much. Socially-driven and happily
single, she’s been blessed with charm, good looks, and supportive friends and
family. But after a medical emergency, a dollop of family drama, and a series
of near-tragic events, she finds she must question who she can trust.Preferring solitude to intimacy, Mason Tucker’s large family makes it
difficult to escape large gatherings and small talk. When Emma’s mother marries
into the family, he finds himself reluctantly drawn to the beautiful woman who
is his complete opposite. But after helping her through a terrible discovery,
Emma begins to break down some of Mason’s communication barriers and
insecurities.When Emma asks for his assistance in tracking down family secrets,
Mason finds himself following along in order to keep her safe. Unfortunately,
not everyone has Emma’s safety in mind when danger waits for the perfect
opportunity to strike.Introducing Mason TuckerName: Mason TuckerAge: 28Gender: MaleBirthplace: Newhall, New HampshireProfession: Computer Systems EngineerDescribe his/her body build, skin tone, height and weight. Include any
unique features such as dimples, freckles, or scars:Mason’s lickable washboard abs are proof he doesn’t let the countless
hours he spends behind his computer screen catch up to him. With his dark hair,
chocolate eyes, and deep-set dimples that are only seen on those rare occasions
when he smiles, Mason Tucker exemplifies male beauty.Who is the significant
other in your character’s life?Emma FultonTell us about this
character, please.Emma is Mason’s opposite. She’s outgoing, confident and fights for
what she wants…which happens to be Mason. After dislocating his shoulder in a
rough game of flag football, Emma is laden with guilt and is determined to look
after Mason’s physical well-being. Because, you know, he’s hot. He tries his
hardest to keep his distance from her, and she tries even harder to keep them
together. She’s stubborn to the core and will not let him slip away so easily.If you could only hear
this character’s voice (but not see him) what characteristic would identify
him?Mason only speaks when necessary so his words are short and to the
point. His voice is deep and low, and he has a tendency to stutter when he’s
around Emma.What is your character’s
family like?Mason has two brothers who respect his need for privacy, but love to
egg him on. Mason’s mom plays matchmaker quite a bit in this series, but she
doesn’t get much of an opportunity to in this book. She pushed his older
brother Connor and Meg together in False Start and does some meddling with
Cole, Mason’s twin in the third book, False Impressions. Cole does some
meddling of his own though, and gives Mason the kick in the pants he needs.His family is loving, accepting and are all outgoing and very social,
while Mason is shy and reserved. He feels like he never fits in with his
brothers. His oldest is a retired NFL player and his twin is Mr. Playboy of the
town.Is he close to family?Yes. And he is extremely loyal to those he cares about.Does this character see
morality as black-and-white, or with shades of gray?Everything is black and white in Mason’s eyes.How do others perceive
your character based upon looks, and is is this assumption accurate?Because he shies away from social gatherings, Emma has never gotten to
know him. While she’s best friends with Mason’s identical twin, she never felt
the chemistry with him that she has with Mason. He’s incredibly fit but feels
insecure next to his NFL brother and popular twin. He doesn’t speak much and
Emma is constantly wondering what she’s said or done to piss him off.Does your character care
about what others assume about him?Not one bit.Can your hero keep a
secret (why or why not)?Of course he can keep a secret. He’s the nonjudgmental type who
doesn’t divulge information and only speaks when necessary. If he’s asked a
question he’ll answer honestly, but not say any more than what was specifically
asked. However, ironically, Emma turns to him because he is the only one who
hadn’t kept a secret from her.What inner doubt causes
your character the most difficulty?Mason doesn’t think he’ll ever be good enough for Emma. She is his
polar opposite and thrives on idle chatter and social gatherings while Mason
would rather work on his computer and be by himself. He knows she deserves
someone who can make her laugh, but he can’t resist the pull.What is your hero’s
biggest personal flaw?Lack of communication. He doesn’t talk about his feelings and is
afraid to open up.About Your WriterWhy do you think your
writer chose to write about you?Thankfully Marianne appreciates the strong and silent type. I believe
I’m semi-modeled after her husband. He seems a little rough around the edges
and doesn’t say much, but he’s reliable and the most loyal person you’ll meet.
Kinda like me.What do you wish your
writer had not told others about you?It isn’t until the end of the book that my mom tells Emma some of my
childhood skeletons. I’d rather not share them here. It makes me feel weak
and…never good enough. Definitely not issues a strong man would want to have.What other character from
your book do you think your writer should write a book about, and why?My cousin Paige hooks up with the detective in my book. She’s a minor
character but I love her and think she deserves her own story. Of course my
cocky identical twin gets his own book in June. Thankfully Marianne took him
down a few pegs. It’s kinda nice to see my confident brother squirm.Why do you think your
writer loves to write?For the hot men. She was always checking out my abs or dimples or some
crap like that.Is there anything you’d
like to say to your writer?Thank you for giving me a chance. So many heroes have smooth lines
(like my brothers) but it’s nice to have the quiet awkward ones get the girl as
well. And thanks for making me so hot. I’m normally not vain, but hey, I’m
still a guy.Buy This BookPublisher www.lsbooks.comAmazon http://amzn.to/1xKMggwBarnes and Noble

always find everlasting love. When she’s not writing, Marianne spends her time
buying shoes, eating chocolate, chauffeuring her herd of children to their
varying sporting events, and when there’s time, relaxing with fancy drinks and
a great read. She tries to make time for her husband too, but he often places
behind her love affair with books.Author Social MediaWebsite http://mariannerice.weebly.comFacebook http://facebook.com/MarianneRiceautPinterest https//www.pinterest.com/mariannericeautGoodreads https://www.goodreads.com/MarianneRiceAmazon Author Page http://amazon.com/author/mariannerice -
Dark Stranger a new #pnr #shifter romance by @lisacbooks #RLFblog #PNR
This quick interview includes info about the author, and
introduces the story.About the Author
Lisa Carlisle is a USA Today Bestselling author of romance
and suspense. She loves stories with dark, brooding heroes and independent,
caring heroines. Lisa feels very honored to be a multi-published author since
she’s wanted to write since the sixth grade. Her travels have provided her with
inspiration for various settings in her novels. She backpacked alone through
Europe, and lived in Paris before returning to the U.S. Now she lives in New
England with her husband, two children, a cat, and many fish.Interview with Lisa Carlisle
Why did you write
this book?Dark Stranger is part three in the Chateau Seductions
trilogy. The manager of the art colony is a loyal companion to the owner of the
chateau, Antoine. Since Cameron was first introduced in book 1, Dark Velvet, I
knew he deserved his own story. How did he end up working for a supernatural
being on a remote island when he is human? How does he feel about the
isolation?With the wolf shifters coming to the island and his wariness
of shifters from an earlier altercation, I wanted to see what would happen with
him paired up with one of them. And oh my, the forbidden attraction is hot!
Especially when Nadya resists the idea of her mate being human.What is your favorite
genre to read?Paranormal romance, especially shifter romance at the
moment.Who is your favorite
character from fiction (not including your own)?I’m a sucker for dark, brooding characters. My favorites are
Dracula and Heathcliff, and if we’re including movies, Darth Vader. I’ve always
had a bit of an obsession with him.What are you working
on at the moment, and will see from you in coming months?I’m finishing up a short story with one of the characters
from the Chateau Seductions series. Also, I’ve started book two in the Highland
Gargoyles series, the follow up to Knights of Stone.Please tell us about
your latest book.Dark Stranger is part 3 of the Chateau Seductions trilogyWolf shifters come to Chateau
seeking a missing pack member. During an altercation, Cameron Stevens, the
manager of the art colony, is separated from the others. He ends up alone with
Nadya, one of the female shifters.Together, in the forests of DeRoche
Island, they struggle against conflicting feelings. In addition to battling
each other as well as their mistrust, they fight a powerful, inexplicable
attraction to one another—one that leaves them irrevocably entwined.They’re mates? Cameron can’t
comprehend or accept such a thing is possible. They’re two different species
and their worlds don’t mesh. He can’t fight the heated desire burning between
them and her touch is impossible to resist. His heart and mind aren’t on the
same page where she’s concerned. One thing is certain—Nadya is stamped on both.Paranormal, Erotic RomanceShifters, vampires, gargoylesAbout the Book

Colton Blake from Scorpio Sons 1 by @nhysglover #RLFblog #Romance
The character interview allows a hero or heroine to tell
readers about himself or herself. Today’s interview is with Colton Blake from Scorpio
Sons 1: Colton.Interview with Colton Blake
Tell us about yourself, please.What do you want to know? Talking about myself isn’t my thing.
Staying in the shadows is my thing. Okay, I guess I have to do this, don’t I? Well,
my name is Colton Blake and I’m one of a hundred genetically-engineered clone warriors
who got stuck with a heavy dose of panther DNA. I guess you could say I was a test
tube baby and when it came time for us to be hatched – I can never work out what
to call it. We weren’t born; we were just taken out of our gestation tubes. Anyway,
whatever you call it, once it happened, me and my brothers were secretly removed
from the labs and given to the Résistance, a covert organization fighting the Guild,
the monsters who created us as their own personal army.The people who raised me were decent and loving people. Sometimes
I think I see that time in my life through rose colored glasses, because it can’t
have been as good as I remember it, can it? But compared to what came later I guess
it was pretty perfect. Anyway, my folks were killed in a car accident when I was
seven, and I was put into foster care.I wasn’t there long before my cat got activated and I killed
my foster father. I did say I got a heavy dose of panther DNA, didn’t I? That latent
DNA gets activated in extreme situations, usually around puberty. Mine came earlier
because I’d just lost my folks, I was living with strangers, and I was watching
the bastard who called himself my foster-dad molesting one of the girls in his care.
I just cracked, and when I came back to myself there was a dead man on the floor.
I freaked and ran. After that I lived on the streets, playing vigilante like ‘Dexter’,
until Chase found me and brought me into the Scorpio Sons. For about five years
now I’ve worked covertly with my brothers to bring justice to those who consider
themselves above the law.Authors call what you want but cannot have “the conflict”
— what is yours?I want to protect my mate from danger. You’d think that’d be
easy, considering I could kill a man with my bare hands at seven, wouldn’t you?
But it’s not. I’m forced to stand at her side while she takes on our enemies. My
cat (that’s what we call the panther aspect of ourselves) fights me every step of
the way. See, my human side knows Lyss has her part to play in saving the world,
but my cat’s primal urge is to lock her up somewhere safe so I can get on with my
job. So far my human side has mostly won the fight.What can you not do (but need to do) during this story?Trust. Lyss is my world, and yet I can’t seem to trust the bond
we created. I’m a work in progress in lots of ways. Luckily, she’s okay with that.What inner doubt causes you the most difficulty?That Alyssa can’t possibly love someone like me; that I can’t
be good enough for her. I’m just a killer who grew up on the streets. Maybe she
just thinks she loves me because I saved her life four years ago. I don’t know.
Sometimes I feel like gelignite. I only need the smallest bump to explode. My intensity
scares me. Especially the intensity of my feelings for Lyss.In the story world your author created, explain what it is
you fear most and why.I fear losing Lyss. The bonds we Sons form with our genetically-engineered
mates is as close as any bond between two individuals can be. It’s instantaneous,
powerful, and all-consuming. The idea of losing Lyss guts me. So, yeah, I live everyday
afraid that she’ll wake up to herself and leave me – or she’ll be taken by the Guild
and I won’t be able to save her.Tell us about your significant other, that person who makes
living worthwhile.That’s Alyssa. I’ve probably raved on about her too much already.
But maybe not about her specifically; just about how I feel about her. So… yeah,
I met her, for want of a better word, when I saved her from rapists at her college.
Back then I was still doing my Dexter thing. So I let my dark passenger out on those
bastards.As I was the first of the Sons to find my mate, I didn’t have
a clue what was going on when I came face-to-face with her. Suddenly, a sex drive
I never knew I had, came to life. So I got out of there fast, real fast, before
she ended up having to fight me off too. I didn’t see her again for four years.
But I never forgot her. That would’ve been impossible.Okay, doing it again. You wanted me to tell you about Alyssa
herself. So, yeah, Alyssa Aimes became America’s Sweetheart after almost winning
a talent contest on TV. You’d expect that image to be artificial or something, but
there’s nothing staged about Lyss. She really is as sweet, and beautiful, and talented
as she seems on TV. America got that right, at least. (I’m Canadian, can’t you tell?)
She’s sort of fragile too, which makes me feel like I might break her if I’m not
careful. But even though she doesn’t see herself as strong and brave, she keeps
proving she is, even when I wish she didn’t have to. And did I mention she’s beautiful?
Not in a glamorous way. She’s more like the pretty girl-next-door type. Can I quit
now?What would that person say about you?More? You’d make a great shrink. Maybe I should’ve been lying
on a couch for all this. Okay…Lyss would say I’m intense, moody, and have a hair-trigger
temper. The first time I met her I’d just injured or killed her would-be rapists.
So she knew right from the start what I was; what I’m capable of. But she loves
me anyway. Maybe it’s my cat that attracts her cat. Maybe that’s what makes her
so accepting of me and my many faults. But yeah, if you asked her about me, she’d
end up saying something mushy like I’m everything she ever dreamed of and more.What is your family like?I don’t have any except for Lyss. And yeah, I guess my cloned
brothers count as family too. It’s weird, you know, having the Sons in my life–
like finding your identical twin you were separated from at birth. But not just
finding him once, but over and over again. We’ve only tracked down 40 or so of us
yet, but we’ll find the rest. That’s what we do – save the world, find our brothers
and the Mates who were made for us.What special skills do you rely on?Huh, where do I start? My cat DNA means I have enhanced speed,
strength, and sensual acuity, (I can see in the dark and hear things a normal human
couldn’t, that sorta stuff). I’m a super-soldier. Oh and I’m a pretty good tactician.About the Writer
After a lifetime of teaching others to appreciate the written
word, Aussie author Nhys Glover finally decided to make the most of the Indie Book
Revolution to get her own written word out to the world. Now, with over 100,000
of her ebooks downloaded internationally and a winner of 2013 SFR Galaxy Award for
‘The Titan Drowns’, Nhys finds her words, too, are being appreciated.Living in the beautiful Yorkshire Dales of England, Nhys these
days spends most of her time “living the dream” by looking out over the
moors from her window as she writes the kind of novels she loves to read. The ones
that are a little bit steamy, a little bit different, and wholly romantic.What was your biggest challenge in writing this book?Coming up with distinctly different characters for all the Sons,
who are basically all the same person. I did a lot of reading about identical twins,
because that’s what clones are. Then I drew up an astrological natal chart for the
Sons’ ‘birth’ and started assigning qualities to each from that chart. Yes, I used
to be a professional astrologer. It taught me a lot about people.Why did you choose this character for the interview today?Colt is wonderfully intense and complex. A real Heathcliff. I
love deep and moody. And as he’s the first of the Sons to find his mate, his was
the steepest learning curve.When writing the book, what did you discover about this character
that surprised you?My characters are always surprising me. I’m more reporter than
novelist. I just follow along behind my people, recording what goes on, and not
knowing what will happen in the end until I get there. So, Colt was no exception.
He handled putting Lyss in danger a lot better than I expected. He’s like Alyssa
in that way; doesn’t see how amazing he really is. But he proved it to me.Are any sequels planned for this book?There already are six in the series. The seventh is on pre-release
and will be available on the 20 May.About the Book
Title Scorpio Sons 1: ColtonGenre SF/Shifter RomanceAuthor Nhys GloverBook heat level (based on movie ratings): RStaring into glowing cat-eyes, while her attackers lay like broken
dolls in the snow around her, shouldn’t have been a turn-on. But it was. She shouldn’t
consider the man who killed to save her from her rapists a hero. But she does. She
shouldn’t feel as if she belongs to that hero, mind body and soul, but there’s no
way she can deny it. And the hardest part for Alyssa Aimes to get her head around,
besides his extraordinary eyes: the knowledge that she’ll never see him again.But four years later, Colton Blake does come back into her life,
just as dramatically as he left it. And this time she’s determined to keep him there,
even if she has to risk her recording contract and her life to do it.For Colt, much has changed in four years. No longer a homeless
drifter with a dangerous secret, he has found his place among the Scorpio Sons,
an elite band of genetically engineered cloned warriors charged with bringing to
justice a secret cabal that has been exploiting the world for millennia. But one
thing that hasn’t changed during that time: his obsession with Alyssa, the stranger
he met just once and can’t seem to forget. But now his mission has brought Alyssa
back into his life. And with her comes a secret she doesn’t even realize she harbors;
a secret that could bring not only Colt to his knees, but the whole band of the
Scorpio Sons along with him.Buy This Book
