Kryssie Fortune writes the sort of hot sexy books she loves to read. If she can sneak a dragon into her paranormal books she will. Her paranormal heroes are muscular werewolves, arrogant Fae, or BDSM loving dragons. Kryssie likes her contemporary heroes ex-military and dominant. Her heroines are kick ass females who can hold their own against whatever life – or Kryssie – throws at them. Kryssie’s pet hates are unhappy endings, and a series that ends on a cliffhanger. Her books are all stand alone even when part of series. Plot always comes before sex, but when her heroines and heroes get together, the sex is explosive and explicit. One review called it downright sensual.

Storm Crazy (Destiny Paramortals #1) by Livia Quinn
Welcome to Destiny, home to the Paramortals since…well, forever…where human neighbors and their new sheriff live alongside shifters, dragons, vampires and a family of djinn.
Just don’t tell the humans.
To former Navy pilot-turned-sheriff Jack Lang, the town of Destiny seemed the perfect place to settle down – safe, sane and secure. But his investigation into a perplexing death shatters the alleged calm and threatens the tranquil home life he hoped to provide for his daughter. Especially, when he catches his mail lady in the act of stealing an antique vase after stepping over said body. Soon, Jack discovers Tempest Pomeroy is an outright trouble magnet who never fails to test the limits of his patience or the law.
For most of her life, Tempe’s denied her heritage, but as the sheriff’s investigation veers off into the bizarre and intrudes into the existence of the Paramortals, danger heads toward them like an F5 tornado… Look out, Tempest’s about to go Storm Crazy.
A human sheriff, a storm witch, and the quirky, supernatural town of Destiny. What could go wrong?

Free on KindleUnlimitedDetour Ahead by Adriana Kraft
Threatened race horses, city slicker attorney, sexy California wrangler—what can possibly go wrong?
Hot-shot Chicago prosecuting attorney Traci Steele works tirelessly keeping rapists off the street to prevent other women from suffering the hell she’s endured, so she resists her friends’ insistence that she take a two month R and R in their California Live Oak condo—until they persuade her to help their rancher friend as a private investigator.
Though he runs the stables at Live Oak, well-muscled mustached wrangler Scott McCord much prefers working with the race horses he trains at his ranch, and he can’t believe his old friends have sent a greenhorn female to help him with horse troubles.
The improbable dance between this mismatched pair barely fits in around the escalating suspense of whoever’s after Scott’s horses. Traci is as tenacious in her sleuthing as she is terrified about her inability to ever love a man. Can Scott succeed in gentling her – like he does his horses – before she flees in panic?
Traci Steele may be the most damaged of the heroines in our four-book horse racing suspense series, Riders Up. If she was a real person, she might stand up and say “Me, too” – except she’s never told anyone, not even her best friend, Cassie.
To celebrate tomorrow’s 144th running of the Kentucky Derby, Detour Ahead will be free on Amazon today through Monday, May 7, 2018.Download your free book: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00RPT6YJA/

Kiss Me, Bite Me by Sayara St Clair @SayaraStClair #RLFblog #ParanormalRomance #vampire
Sayara St Clair, 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.Kiss Me, Bite Me by Sayara St Clair
Genre: Paranormal Romance, Contemporary Romance.
Book heat level (based on movie ratings): R
I’d learned early on in life not to show weakness. Like messy emotions. Shedding tears in front of my family had a similar outcome to busting out of a shark cage wearing blood cologne.
The world hasn’t treated Kayana Castello Branco particularly kindly. So it’s no surprise to her when she literally bumps into her soul mate, only to find he’s already taken. He’s gorgeous, strong, smart, kind—every woman’s ideal guy. Of course he’s unavailable for soul-matey business.
When fate shows pity, putting Greg Morgan in her path a second time, the resulting collision is colossal. Their connection is epic, the stuff of romantic legends, fairy tales, sonnets. They’re like Romeo and Juliet (only, the R-rated version).
But something has happened to Greg. Now, every time he gets near Ana, he gets long and hard…and pointy in the fang area. He doesn’t know whether he wants to kiss her, lick her, do-that-thing-that-rhymes-with-duck her. Or bite and deprive her of every last molecule of haemoglobin.
Loving a newbie vampire with control issues really and truly sucks.
Why did you write this book?
Although this is the fourth book I’ve published, it’s actually the first one I ever wrote. I’ve been an avid paranormal romance reader for a long time and I may have a slight vampire obsession. I mean, it’s so slight it’s barely worth mentioning. *Stares* *Waits* *Squirms* Okay, okay, I’ll admit it—I am TOTALLY obsessed with vamps! So it was inevitable that my first book would be a vampire paranormal romance.
What is your favorite genre to read?
Romance. All sorts of romance, eg erotic, paranormal, historical and romantic suspense. I am an unashamed incurable romantic.
Who is your favorite character from fiction (not including your own)?
There are so many characters I’ve admired over the years, that it’s hard to narrow it down to just one. My character of the moment, though, is Daniel Beckett, from a series of books by Dominic Piper. Beckett is worlds apart from the usual romantic hero I fall head over heels for. However, he is mysterious and intriguing. And it is absolutely imperative that I find out more about him.
What are you working on at the moment?
I’m working on the second book in the Blood Kissed Series.
What books will we see from you in coming months?
The book mentioned above will released next. Kayana, Greg and their friends will be involved in some extremely complicated and hair-raising situations. Expect much mayhem in the future from me.Where to buy Kiss Me, Bite Me

Sayara St Clair Social Media
If someone told a young Sayara St Clair that one day she would be an erotic/paranormal-romance-writing Aussie expat living in Thailand, she would have snort-laughed and yelled, “You. Be. Crazy!”
If someone told her the same thing now, she would not yell, only nod solemnly. Because that actually happened.
Sayara has a science degree, with majors in both microbiology and biochemistry. Working in the fields of serology and tissue banking, she got to do lots of cool and sometimes slightly weird stuff. She was employed as the manager/buyer for furniture retail stores, where she had a chance to unleash her inner interior decorator. (Interior design is one of her great passions.) And for a time, she taught English to students in Asia. (Hanging about in a roomful of extremely loud, pint-sized humans is not one of her great passions.) She has written: ads for TV, print and radio; real estate brochures; website copy; and a screenplay. Now she’s writing fiction and has discovered it’s her favorite thing to do. She’s also learned that writing sultry romances is so much more fun than writing dry old scientific journal articles. No one has sex in scientific journal articles. Not the ones she wrote anyway.
When not writing, she may be most commonly found in a horizontal position reading, in the kitchen baking, in the garden planting, or somewhere else singing at the top of her lungs. She loves music and is prone to spontaneous bouts of dancing.
With regards to vampires and chocolate: she bites one on a daily basis and has had a lifelong obsession with the other. And she’s not telling which one’s which.

Strength of Love By D Anne Paris @danneparis #RLFblog #paranormalromance
I have learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did but people will not forget how you made them feel.~Maya Angelou
I am a huge proponent of giving experiences as gifts instead of material items. Material things take up space, become clutter, and ultimately get thrown into a landfill. Special moments don’t do any of that. When we have people we love and cherish, treating them right becomes very important to us. We look for ways to appreciate them and give them special things. We celebrate every event and we do not need an occasion to surprise them.Creating A Special Moment
Giving thoughtful gifts to someone dear to you is great and appreciative but there are times when material things cannot express effectively the message you want to convey to them. These are times when moments and experiences are ultimately the greatest gift you can give.
Unforgettable experiences over gifts .
Human beings are easily affected by events and that is why a person will easily remember an event because they remember the emotions they felt. Even when you give gifts to people, their memory is usually the feeling the gift evoked in them when they received it. They might remember the gift whenever they use it or see it but nostalgic moments are tied mostly to feelings. This is where giving an unforgettable experience comes in. They will forever remember the various feelings attached to that day.
Creating a special experience: A picnic for two.
So you decided to create a special memorable picnic for your loved one. The weather outlook looks great for a picnic in the park and you can picture it clearly. You have one tiny problem: How do you make this picnic different from every other picnic you have had?
You have the food covered and the drinks are good to go (bubbly or wine) , your picnic basket is complete with the blanket but it still doesn’t strike you as special. It feels like just about every other picnic.
Here are a list of ways to flip the script on your picnic and add spice to it, making it a special and unforgettable one.
Hire musicians to serenade your loved one at the picnic! Check your local collages to see if there are any college students who would play at your picnic. Get the musicians to play some favourite pieces of your loved one to heighten the experience and you can dance to the songs they play.
Get some battery powered tea lights, put them in a mason jar, tie them on the branch of a tree and hang them above your picnic area.
Your loved one afraid of bugs crawling on them? Get an inflatable kiddie pool and have the picnic inside of it. One you are done eating bring in some pillows and blankets so you can gaze at the stars in the evening.
If you live in the city, find a rooftop you can have the picnic on. The views will be spectacular especially at sunset.
Grab a ride on a horse drawn carriage and have it drop you off at the picnic location.
Picnic on a boat. Rent a small boat or even a canoe will do! Paddle to a quiet spot and have your picnic surrounded by water.
Beach bonfire picnic. If you are lucky enough to live close to a beach, check to see if you can have a bonfire on the beach. You can have a wonderful picnic on the beach with a warm bonfire to keep both of you warm.
Picnic in a pick-up. If either of you own a pick-up, have your picnic in the back. Choose a memorable location where you can park the pick-up, have your picnic and gaze at the stars when evening comes around.
There you have it. A fine twist to an otherwise ordinary picnic at the park.
Your partner will not only be touched by the thoughtfulness of your action but also by the time and effort you have put into giving them a special moment.
With this you have not only created a memorable experience but you have given them a special gift of your time, thought and efforts. They will always remember the way that day made them feel: Special.Strength of Love by by D Anne Paris
Paranormal Romance
Book heat level (based on movie ratings): R
With his special powers, Jason “Tiny” Tucker could handle anything.
Bullets, hauling cars, Bigfoot, nothing scared him. When a psychotic ex-lover captures and tortures him, he loses his powers and himself. His only light is his angel, Elle, who opened the door to his heart but hasn’t fallen for his good looks and charm. When Elle succumbs to the after effects of her powers it stirs emotions he never knew existed. Now it’s up to him to help her heal and unleash the passion trapped inside of her.
Despite her miserable past, Elle Stevens became a healer.
Determined not to turn into her promiscuous mother, Elle leads a celibate life focused solely on helping others. When she meets Tiny he awakens feelings in her that she tries to push away but her heart and body crave. It’s hard to control when she’s tasked with helping him heal from his wounds. Harder when he stays by her side day and night. Impossible when she looks into his eyes and sees a future she thought she could never have.
Unfortunately, someone has other plans for them and they don’t include a happy ever after.
Strength of Love is the third book in the Heirs of Orion paranormal romantic suspense series which takes readers on a journey through the lives of people with special powers and those who want to control them.Where to buy Strength of Love

D Anne Paris began conjuring up stories even before she could put words on paper. When other kids in her class submitted stories about their vacations and puppies, she submitted ones that had to be blessed by a priest.
The paranormal has always called out to her and she’s usually the one that’s running into haunted houses and graveyards. She strongly believes Halloween should be a national holiday and everyone should have a favorite paranormal hero or heroine.
When not in the writing cave D Anne can be found in the garage working on her first love- her Trans Am, or working on her blueberry farm. She is the wife of one hot Silver Fox and the mom of one mini-salesman who tries to convince his friend’s mothers to buy her books.
