Hot sex. No regrets. Vampire Marcus Botticelli has spent his life playing the role of the fun-loving playboy. Unfortunately, that lifestyle came to an abrupt end for Marcus when his life was turned upside down by his sire. Now in a new city, a new home, he hopes to make a fresh start.
Set on some big changes in her own life, Christina Prescott’s plans are sidetracked when she meets the rich and powerful Marcus. Though the nurse mends the Alpha’s broken heart, he isn’t the only one who needs healing when a depraved darkness seeps into their lives.
As passion burns between the two, evil works to smother the flame of love and separate the couple for its own gain. With his heartmate missing, Marcus fears his claim to everlasting love will be destroyed and he will be damned to a life of insanity without Christina.Where to buy Deadly Alpha

Brenda Sparks has always loved all things spooky and enjoys incorporating paranormal elements in her writing. She refuses to allow pesky human constraints to get in the way of telling the story. Luckily the only thing limiting her stories is her imagination. Her characters are strong, courageous, and she adores spending time with them in their imaginary world.
Her idea of a perfect day is one spent in front of a computer with a hot cup of coffee, her fingers flying over the keys to send her characters off on their latest adventure.

In the northern reaches of Scotland rests Loch Saorach, home to an ancient legend—a dragon. The Matasan family has guarded the loch and its dragon for centuries.
Over the years Saorach has claimed humans, imbuing them with his fae magic. Connor Matasan, the arrogant Earl of Glencarol, is a recent acquisition. Like all those possessed and transformed by the dragon’s ancient magic, Connor is sith, immortal and commanding powers beyond the human norm.
Middle aged wife and mother Lila is vacationing in Scotland when Saorach chooses her to join his brood. Her transformation to an eternally young sith is painful and compounded by the loss of everything she holds dear. Waking to a new life, she is utterly dependent upon Connor and his family. Lila feels trapped and resents that the dragon has bound her to Connor, soul to soul, passion to passion: a passion Connor cannot control, a passion Lila fears.
Will the magic that brought them together destroy them?

Is It True: A Heart Held Captive by Katy Eeten @KatyEeten #RLFblog #romance
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, Katy Eeten, author of A Heart Held Captive, a contemporary Christian romance. This is a game with yes and no questions. Writers can elaborate on answers as much as they choose.
A Heart Held Captive by Katy Eeten
Genre: Christian romance
Book heat level (based on movie ratings): PG
Physical therapist Cole Pearson has had his share of shallow relationships. But a year spent soul-searching opened his eyes to what he really wants in life. When he learns that ER nurse Emily Jenkins has volunteered to pay for a foster child’s therapy, he is instantly drawn to her generous spirit. If only he can convince her to take things beyond their casual conversations at the clinic.
Emily is a prisoner to her past mistakes and insists on paying a price God never asked her to pay. When she finally allows herself to grow closer to Cole, her faulty theology is shattered and her wounded heart begins to mend. But when tragedy strikes, Emily is sent into a tailspin. Can Cole help her grasp the freedom of God’s grace, or will she revert back to the captivity of her old ways and shut Cole out of her life for good?Is it true:
this is your first book?
No. I published two other Christian romances last year – Blast from Her Past and a novella called Christmas in Meadow Creek.
this book is part of a series?
No.
you lost sleep while writing this book?
Maybe a little. My first round of edits was pretty extensive, and I had a super short deadline from my editor. But I made it!
you did research for this book?
A little. Just minor things like how long of a drive between two cities and what type of injury would require physical therapy.
some characters in this book are not human? (pets for example)
No. All humans other than the mention of an elderly neighbor’s dog.
this book has more than one genre?
Nope. It’s a straight-up contemporary Christian romance.
you speak more than one language?
No. Unless you count my four years of high school Spanish, which allows me to catch a few words and phrases here and there.
you grew up where you live now?
Yes. After fifteen years living elsewhere, I returned to my hometown a couple summers ago.
you love to read?
Yes, though I don’t have time to do it as much as I’d like to.
you are never late?
Well … Overall, I’m fairly punctual. But having two kids and so much going on in life makes me two to five minutes late wherever I go. Not bad, I guess.
you love pizza?
Absolutely! We have it weekly at our house.
you love sushi?
Never tried it, but never want to!
you have a pet?
No pets.Where to buy A Heart Held Captive

The Phoenix Rising series by Alexandra Christian @lexxxchristian #RLFblog #SciFi #romance
Alexandra Christian, 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.
The Phoenix Rising series by Alexandra Christian
Genre Sci-fi Romance
Book heat level (based on movie ratings): R
Librarian Phoebe Addison has lived her entire life within a seventy-five mile radius of her small Louisiana town, but when she receives a strange medallion from her adventurous, off-world sister, reality tilts toward the bizarre. Everything Phoe thought she knew is…well, wrong. Dead wrong. But bone-numbing fear has no place in this brave new world—nor by the side of the dangerous, exquisite man who saves her life.
Following the tragic slaughter of his family, operative Macijah “Cage” St. John understands evil in a way no man ever should. He traded happiness for a magnificent and terrible power, and fate isn’t done with him yet. He wasn’t looking for comfort. He didn’t need tenderness. But today he’ll play hero to a damsel in distress, and his quest will deliver him to the uncanny Martian colony of New London—and his heart to the demure Phoebe Addison. The bookish beauty’s hidden talents and deep abiding love just might save Cage from himself.
Who is your “book boyfriend” (that hottie you read about and drool over)?
I’m particularly fond of Lestat Pointedulac from Anne Rice’s vampire chronicles. He’s arrogant, beautiful, and the perfect alpha hero. He never apologizes for who he is and that’s so seductive to me.
Describe the perfect vacation.
My perfect vacation destination is a wide, sandy beach. Warm water, warm winds, and a cold drink at my side while I watch the waves and get lost in a great book.
When you read for pleasure, what kind of books do you choose?
My preferences differ with the mood I’m in. Right now, I’m working my way through Nora Roberts’s standalone romantic suspense books. I just can’t get enough of them. I’m also a Stephen King horror junkie.
What kinds of things do you read when you’re researching a new book?
Wikipedia is my friend. Right now I’m working on a Victorian paranormal murder mystery involving postmortem photography and corpse medicine. My husband is also a librarian and loves to bring me home lots of books on whatever subjects I throw at him.
If the hero of your latest book called you on the phone, what would be a perfect ringtone for him?
Cage St. John’s ringtone would definitely be the James Bond theme.Where to buy The Phoenix Rising series

Rescuing Rory by NJ Walters @njwaltersauthor #RLFblog #NewRelease #SciFi #Romance
NJ 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.
Rescuing Rory by NJ Walters
Genre Sci-Fi Romance
Book heat level (based on movie ratings): R
Betrayed and sold into slavery after her father’s death, Rory Banks finds herself dancing on the Exos, a deep-space pleasure ship. So when a stranger breaks open her cage and offers her a way out, she grabs it and runs.
Kal Marks and his brothers are space mercenaries and traders who have spent the past ten years searching for their younger sister. Their hunt has led them to the Exos and to Rory, who they hope will have information. But Kal never counted on wanting Rory or on the sexual tension and scorching heat that blazes between them. This mission just got a lot more complicated.
Why did you write this book?
I actually wrote this book some years ago. I wanted to write a series about a family of space mercenaries. These men are tough and they’ll do whatever it takes to find their sister, who was abducted ten years before. None of them ever counted on falling in love. Is there anything more fun than watching a hard, tough man fall for a woman?
Rescuing Rory was released back in 2014 for a very short time before it was pulled due to a publisher closure. Now it’s back. There will be four brand new books in the series coming soon.
What is your favorite genre to read?
Romance, of course. I tend to skip around, depending on my mood. I mostly read contemporary, romantic suspense, paranormal, and some historical romance.
Who is your favorite character from fiction (not including your own)?
That is so tough. Every time I’m asked this question I answer it differently. I love Rhage from the J.R. Ward’s Black Dagger Brotherhood series. How can you not love a vampire who turns into a dragon when he’s angry. He’s tough and funny and very protective of those he loves. Rhage has had several books in the series, while being an integral part of them all.
What are you working on at the moment?
I’m currently working on a brand new paranormal series. Titles haven’t been finalized yet, but the first book is slated to be released in October.
What books will we see from you in coming months?
It’s going to be a busy year for me. Drakon’s Knight, the next Blood of the Dragon book, releases June 24th and is up for pre-order now. There will be more Tapestries books and more Marks Mercenaries books. (No dates yet.) The first book in a new paranormal series is slated to release in October. And I will likely be part of another anthology between now and the end of the year.Where to buy Rescuing Rory

Conclusions, A Dark Dreams Novella by Laci Paige @laci_paige #RLFblog #NewRelease #PNR
Laci Paige, 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.
Conclusions, A Dark Dreams Novella by Laci Paige
Genre: It’s a paranormal romance for ages 18+
Book heat level (based on movie ratings): R
Luciana has made her choice.
Three times.
In this final installment of the reader-driven Dark Dreams novella mini-series, YOU get to choose; human, shifter, or vampire.
Which forever should she choose?
Ethan – Nerd by day, sexy vampire by night. He’s the man of Luciana’s dreams, literally. Strong, cool, knows what he wants, and at night it’s always fast and hard. But is forever with him what she wants?
Nick – Gorgeous, caring, and sensitive. Something about Nick calls to Luciana. Nights with him are tender and caring. He’s selfless in bed. The shifter bond is strong, but can she handle being a one-man woman?
Lee – The safe and predictable human. He’s handsome, affectionate, and sexually adventurous.
She could go back to the way things were and forget all things supernatural. But then she’d be mundane—does she really want that?
***This is the final installment in a reader-driven series. If you haven’t read book one,The 13th Floor – it’s currently free.
Why did you write this book?
As an avid vampire lover, I read many paranormal stories. I wanted to write my own but didn’t know if I could do the genre justice. So this was my first go at paranormal.
What is your favorite genre to read?
Romance across the board.
Who is your favorite character from fiction (not including your own)?
There are way too many to list, but I can say I enjoy reading about romantic alpha males.
What are you working on at the moment?
A military, second chance novella.
What books will we see from you in coming months?
A New Adult summer love romance.Where to buy Conclusions, A Dark Dreams Novella
