    Russian Pride by Holly Bargo

    Genre Contemporary Mafia Romance
    Book heat level (based on movie ratings): R
    Rescued from domestic abuse, Bratva princess Inessa recuperates from the latest beating in the home of Giovanni Maglione, the mafia captain of Cleveland. Learning that her husband double-crossed the Chinese triad, and they want their pound of flesh–and they’re happy to take it out of Inessa–her parents ask Giovanni to marry their newly widowed daughter. The Chinese triad will be looking for a Russian mobster’s wife, not the wife of an Italian mobster. Inessa agrees to this marriage of convenience which, of course, isn’t so convenient. The ruse fails, which forces Giovanni into a violent and bloody mob war, because he protects what’s his… and Inessa is most definitely his.

    Holly Bargo never outgrew a love of fairy tales, legends, and myths. Or horses. However, one foot must remain firmly planted in the real world which is where Holly makes her living as a freelance writer and editor. She and her husband have two grown children and live on a southwest Ohio hobby farm with a menagerie indoor and outdoor animals.
    When she’s not working on other people’s documents or reading, Holly finds time to transfer the voices in her head to paper … er … computer. If she doesn’t, there’s a definite possibility her mind will explode.
    And for those who might wonder from where the pseudonym of Holly Bargo came, it’s quite simple really. Horses. Namely an elegant and temperamental Appaloosa mare who has long since crossed the Rainbow Bridge and is fondly remembered for guarding toddler children and crushing a brand new pager.
    But that’s another story.

    Mack the Wife by Debby Conrad

    Mackenzie O’Brien believes the only way her overprotective brothers will stay out of her life and find loves of their own is if she is married and settled. When an old love returns to town, Mackenzie is anxious to see if she and Grady Sullivan can pick up where they left off.
    Grady tries to fight his attraction to Mackenzie. He wants nothing to do with the spoiled little rich girl who broke his heart years ago or her ridiculous marriage scheme. He’s a cop, living on a cop’s salary and she is way out of his league. And besides, her brothers hate him.
    But Mackenzie won’t take no for an answer—until Grady suspects one or more of her brothers may be guilty of murder. Then she has no choice but to reconsider her plans. Because when it comes to family, the O’Briens stick together, even if it means giving up on love.

    Embroidered Fantasies, a Romance by by NJ Walters @njwaltersauthor #RLFblog #NewRelease #romanceNJ Walters, 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.

    Embroidered Fantasies by NJ Walters

    Genre Erotic Romance

    Book heat level (based on movie ratings): R

    With her abusive ex-husband safely behind bars, Roxanne Sykes is trying to carve out a quiet life for herself. Just as she’s beginning to feel free to explore her new possibilities, word reaches her that her cruel ex has been released from prison. When he shows up at her door bent on destroying her, it’s only through the magic of a well-loved tapestry that Roxanne is whisked away to safety–and into the world of a warrior she’s known only from her fantasies.

    Radnor Craddock has known only a life of violence and brutality at the hands of his older brothers. Now that they have fallen in battle, Radnor and his twin brother Sednar can finally put their house in order. Just as their efforts are bearing fruit, fate smiles upon them again by delivering a potential tapestry bride to their doorstep. Well aware of what they must do to win her hand and her heart, the brothers dedicate themselves to granting Roxanne every imaginable pleasure, driving her to sensual heights unlike any she has ever known.

    With each new erotic encounter stirring a loving bond between the three, Roxanne is tempted to accept the promise of the tapestry and make a new life and new home with the brothers. But she has trusted before and been painfully wrong, and she’s frightened by the whisperings of the brothers’ violent past. Unsure of herself and threatened anew when her merciless ex finds his way to her once again, Roxanne must trust her heart as the brothers vow to protect her and destroy her ex–and to give her a life and love she had never dreamed possible…

    Why did you write this book?

    When I wrote the first book in this series–Christina’s Tapestry–I’d intended it to be a standalone title. But the world of Javara was so fascinating and the possibilities limitless, and I just kept on writing. The older Craddock brothers are villains in the earlier books. It made me stop and wonder about the younger brothers. This is their story.

    What is your favorite genre to read?

    Romance, of course.

    Who is your favorite character from fiction (not including your own)?

    That is so tough. I have so many characters from fiction that I love that I can’t choose just one. So let’s just say that one of my favorites is Eve Dallas from J.D. Robb’s In Death series. She is one kickass heroine and her storyline has been carried over more than forty books. She’s grown and evolved through the series. I grab each new book when it’s released.

    What are you working on at the moment?

    I’m working on a new paranormal series for Entangled. I’m quite excited about it.

    What books will we see from you in coming months?

    I’m in the Stranded: A Boys Behaving Badly anthology due out April 30th. My next Blood of the Drakon book–Drakon’s Knight–is releasing June 24th. And the next Tapestries book will be out in about three months.

    Winemaker Noah Bradstone wants nothing more than to cultivate his grapes and win awards for his wine. But when construction on the B&B next door threatens his vines, Noah goes on a rampage – and comes up hard against the sexiest starlet he’s ever seen. Exactly the sort of woman he’s vowed never to get involved with again.
    Angelica and Noah might be able to resolve their differences over a glass of some very fine wine, but when her opportunity at breakout stardom comes calling, all bets are off.

    Lyrical Embrace by Amber Daulton @AmberDaulton1 #RLFblog #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.

    Lyrical Embrace by Amber Daulton

    Genre Romantic Suspense
    Book heat level (based on movie ratings): 3 Flames/PG-13
    Out-of-work violinist Erica Timberly decides enough is enough. She leaves her abusive boyfriend and flees the big city, but then her car breaks down in the middle of the night. Though wary of men, she accepts help from Dylan Haynes, a stranger driving by on the road, and soon recognizes him as the sexy former drummer of her favorite indie rock band. Maybe, just maybe, her run of bad luck is finally turning around.
    Music teacher Dylan Haynes knows Erica is in trouble, and her black eye is only the first clue. The stubborn yet vulnerable woman needs a friend, but he’s determined to give her everything she deserves.
    Will Erica listen to the music in her heart and trust Dylan, or will her past always threaten her future?
    What’s your favorite down-home family style meal?
    Every Saturday, we have bean burritos for dinner. We cook refried beans, black beans, diced carrots, onions, radishes, jalapenos, corn, and spices in the crock-pot for a few hours, spoon heaping amounts on large tortilla shells with cheese and sour cream, and cook in the oven for thirty minutes. It’s sooo delicious.
    What is your go-to meal when you dine out?
    Greg and I are mostly vegetarian, so it’s hard for us to eat out since most restaurants have a limited and pricey veggie menu. When we do, we usually go to Taco Bell for something quick or grab a cheese pizza from Little Caesars and eat at home.
    Tell us about your favorite toy as a child.
    My favorite toy was Baby Shivers. I don’t think you can find it nowadays, but it was really popular back in the late ‘80s/early ‘90s. Anyway, a battery fit inside the baby doll’s head, so the doll would tremble and shake until I wrapped it up in a blanket and rocked it back and forth. I don’t remember how old I was when I got it, but my mom had to fight the Christmas rush at a department store to find it, and it was the last one on the shelf. I named the doll Heather Nicole, and I still have it packed up in a box somewhere.
    What are your hobbies?
    My hubby and I love binge-watching TV shows—our favorite is Supernatural—and we often borrow movies from our local library. I like to read, dig in my flowerbeds, and create scrapbooks. I also spend a lot of time with my four demanding cats.
    When you read for pleasure, what kind of books do you choose?
    I usually only read romance, sometimes mysteries on the rare occasion. My favorite sub-genres are romantic-suspense, historical, and paranormal, so those books are the ones I gravitate towards first.
