    Arresting Mason by Amber Daulton @amberdaulton1 #RLFblog #NewRelease #RomanticSuspenseAmber Daulton, 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.

    Arresting Mason by Amber Daulton

    Genre: Romantic Suspense
    Book heat level (based on movie ratings): R
    Once you’re in a prison gang, you’re in it for life. That’s what Mason Harding thought until the boss accepted his resignation. After the State releases him on parole, a sexy divorcée behind the wheel of a car almost ends his life quicker than a shank. His chance encounter with Mia Eddison results in a night of passion, but her brother—his parole officer—catches them together and doesn’t approve.
    Mia falls hard for the cocky ex-con, but not because of his chiseled body. She vows to break through his walls and discover his secrets, but never expects those secrets to threaten her life.
    When members of an organized crime ring kidnap Mia to force Mason’s return to the gang, he goes up against an old friend to save the woman he loves. Will his sacrifice be enough or will everything fall apart in a blaze of gunfire?
    Why did you write this book?
    I originally wrote this book for a bad boy anthology call, but by the time I was done, I had exceeded the max word count and still wanted to add more scenes. So I forgot all about the anthology and kept revising this story until I was finally happy with it. It’s now book one in the Arresting Onyx series.
    For how I came up with the plot, I must thank my subconscious since I dreamed about it. For days after, I kept thinking about the hero, the heroine, and her brother, and the characters wouldn’t leave me in peace until I wrote out a rough plotline. Though I changed quite a bit as I put the dream down on paper (or rather computer), the main premise remained the same.
    What is your favorite genre to read?
    I love to read almost every type of romance book, but my favorite sub-genre is tied between romantic suspense and paranormal, with historical at a close second. Outside of romance, I enjoy non-fiction history books and textbooks, preferably when the subject is about Greece or the Roman Empire.
    Who is your favorite character from fiction (not including your own)?
    I’m a big fan of Sherrilyn Kenyon’s Dark Hunter series, and I absolutely love Acheron. He’s my all-time favorite book character.
    What are you working on at the moment?
    I’m currently editing the second book in the Arresting Onyx series (it should be out next year – hopefully!), and then I’ll move on the other books in the series.
    What books will we see from you in coming months?
    Arresting Mason is the only book I have coming out for a while, but I have several books in my backlist that I’m always promoting. Who knows. Maybe I’ll run across another anthology call and actually keep to the word count this time!

    Writing is the fruit of happiness.
    Amber Daulton lives her life by that one belief even though she normally isn’t so Zen.
    As a fan of contemporary, paranormal, and historical romance novels alike, she can’t get enough of feisty heroines and alpha heroes. Her mind is a wonderland of adventure, laughter, and awesome ways of kicking a guy when he’s down. She probably wouldn’t be too sane without her computer and notebooks. After all, what’s a girl to do when people are jabbering away in her head and it’s hard to shut them up? Write! Nothing else works.

    Daughter of the King by Ashley York @ashleyyork1066 #RLFblog #historicalromance

    Ashley York, 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.

    A mistaken identity. A gruesome murder. The uniting of two powerful clans.

    Trained as a warrior…

    Brighit of Clonascra is the only daughter of the fearsome overking, Sean, but despises the trappings and demands of womanhood. She’s far more comfortable training for battle than preparing a meal. Long held alliances require she set aside selfish dreams and take Darragh as her husband. The union intended to promote peace between the clans is interrupted by the shocking murder of a neighboring king and she quickly discovers there are far worse things than being wed.

    Trained to be king…

    Darragh of Drogheda has no wish to follow in the path of his father, Tadhg, but he is an obedient son and supports his father’s plans. His marriage to Brighit, however, will be no hardship at all since he finds her most intriguing especially when she fights him at every turn. A she-warrior indeed. Her persistent dismissal of him merely blows the fire aflame and sets him down the path to discovery of all her most tightly held secrets.

    When she stands accused of the murder, can they finally come to an agreement that will give them each what they truly desire?

Before he can save his people, he must take back command from a ruthless enemy he’s fought for centuries. His brutal, merciless father. Immortals may heal, but a wound of the heart lasts forever…

    Harper Lindquist is convinced she’s found the answer to her financial prayers. Unless she pours cash into crumbling Solace Lake Lodge, she’ll lose her family’s legacy. Her would-be savior arrives in the middle of a Minnesota blizzard and she’s determined to prove to her reluctant, and trapped, financier the lodge is a sound investment. But Harper isn’t completely honest with him. And she has no idea the lake is hiding secrets of its own.
    Ethan James is a liar, but his money is very real. He isn’t convinced a broken-down inn is a smart investment opportunity. But the more he understands Harper’s dreams and desires, the more he wants to be the man to make them come true. The trauma in both their pasts means neither can fully trust the other. They must find the courage to love, to trust, and to accept, or yesterday’s sorrows will keep them apart.
    She can’t handle one more lie. He can’t tell the truth.

    I’m trying to settle into being the Oath Forger, trying to resist the advances of the five most powerful kings in the galaxy (it’s going about as well as you’d think), expecting my lies to catch up with me at any second.
    Except, the freaking space pirates catch up with me first.

    Books. Reading. Writing. Playing with the dog. That’s my life, in a nutshell. I love discovering new authors and new trends. Hello Reverse Harem novels!!!! Where have you been all my life? I love everything sci-fi, paranormal, and fantasy. I eat enough chocolate that at this point, I’m probably made of chocolate. OK, chocolate and coffee.
    I’ve just published Oath Forger, a soon-to-be bestselling, post-apocalyptic, reverse harem, sci-fi romance serial. Ha! Say that three times fast. :)
    If you’d rather try a standalone sci-fi romance from me, grab Warlord. And make sure you don’t sit near anything flammable while reading it. Because it’s HOT. Whatever level of heat you’re thinking right now? Double it. (Not recommended if you don’t have AC, or at least a ceiling fan.) You’ve been warned.
    If You’re Looking for a Dragon: Check out Dragon Lord, my upcoming dragon-shifter romance. And be prepared to lose your heart to a sexy, grumpy dragon. The best kind!

    Welcome to Romance Lives Forever. I’m Kayelle Allen, author and owner of this blog. Let’s play Is It True with today’s guest, Bry Ann, author of Saving Them, a dark romance. This is a game with yes and no questions. Writers can elaborate on answers as much as they choose.

    Saving Them by Bry Ann

    Genre: Dark Romance
    Book heat level (based on movie ratings): R
    Alexa:
    Even my name is a lie.
    I’m not Alexa.
    I’m not even the badass I pretend to be.
    I’m an ex-hooker with a childhood buried under years of mistakes.
    I’ve played my part well.
    Until he appears.
    My greatest mistake of all.
    Rex Carter.
    Now I’m forced to watch the life I’ve built in secret crumble all around me.
    There is no greater pain than love.
    Nothing more destructive.
    Rex:
    She was my hero once.
    Strong.
    Invincible.
    Beautiful.
    Now all I feel is hatred. She is heartless. Cold.
    It’s time I stood up for myself. Made her feel half of what she’s made me feel.
    This is my revenge.
    Get ready Alexandra Ray.

    Is it true:

    this is your first book?
    No, This is my fourth!
    this book is part of a series?
    Yes, it is the third in the Saving Her series, but it can be read as a standalone! I recommend starting at Saving Her though for a better reading experience:).
    you lost sleep while writing this book?
    Yes! This book goes into some heavy stuff. Some really super personal stuff too, even though it’s hidden and I made sure no one but the people closest to me would know ;).
    I often found myself emotional writing this book.
    you did research for this book?
    Yes, I really don’t want to give much away, but there is a character in this book who is an escort of sorts. I did some research to see what this is like for them.
    some characters in this book are not human? (pets for example)
    Nope, all human!
    this book has more than one genre?
    Yes, I consider is a romantic suspense and dark romance novel :)
    you speak more than one language?
    I wish! I took four years of Spanish in high school and never got a chance to practice. I plan to learn it someday.
    you grew up where you live now?
    No, I grew up in California and live in Texas now.
    you love to read?
    Yes!! I read ALL the time. I’ve read 70 books this year already. Like, I’m obsessed. I read King by T.M. Frazier and haven’t looked back since.
    you are never late?
    Rarely. I hate it. That said, recently I’ve had some personal stuff come up and I feel like I’m behind on everything which to say that is rare for me would be an understatement.
    you love pizza?
    I haven’t had it so long, but who doesn’t! ;)
    you love sushi?
    Yes!!! Love sushi. Seaweed salad, yum….
    you have a pet?
    No! I haven’t been able to get one after losing my dog. I need more time. Plus, I’m not at a good place in my life to give it the time and attention it needs.
