    Fury Unleashed by NJ Walters

    Genre Paranormal Romance

    Book heat level (based on movie ratings): R

    Maccus Fury, a fallen angel, is trying hard to keep his sanity. Seems being an assassin might be catching up with him. Now, Heaven, or Hell, has sent a beautiful assassin to kill him. Lovely. She’s pretending to seduce him, and he’s okay with that. She’s smart and snarky—but she has no idea what she’s walked into. And he’s more than peeved that they only sent one person. They’re going to need an army if they want him dead.

    Morrigan Quill is one of Hell’s bounty hunters. She sold her soul to keep her sister safe, and now she’s working off her contract by catching bad guys and dragging them back to hell. When Lucifer makes her a new offer––that’s definitely too good to be true—she can’t say no. All she has to do is kill a powerful and crazy-hot fallen angel, who will totally kick her ass in battle.

    Good thing he won’t see what’s coming next.

    Read the new White House Wedding by Seelie Kay @SeelieKay #RLFblog #NewRelease #ContemporaryRomance

    Read the new White House Wedding by Seelie Kay @SeelieKay #RLFblog #NewRelease #ContemporaryRomanceSeelie Kay, 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 White House Wedding by Seelie Kay

    Genre Contemporary Romance

    Book heat level (based on movie ratings): R

    When politics interferes with love, can love survive?

    Getting married isn’t easy when your father’s the President of the United States! After reluctantly agreeing to a White House wedding, Sarah Lee Pearson, the president’s daughter, finds herself swept into a political maelstrom of unimagined proportions.

    The White House staff and the first lady see the wedding as a political event, a way to sweep the president into his next term. Congress is complaining about the collateral costs. The media is delightfully rehashing every aspect of Sarah’s life, even those events that have nothing to do with the impending marriage. And the American public? Visions of an American royal wedding have swept them into a frenzy and vendors take advantage, making a quick buck off of everything from limited edition t-shirts to commemorative teacups.

    Sarah and her fiancé, Sam, fight hard to ignore the craziness, but after learning a bounty has been put on their heads by an anti-government militia group, they have to decide whether a White House wedding is indeed worth it. And given all the hurtful controversy, perhaps a better solution is to not get married at all.

    Why did you write this book?

    It was a bit of a romp, really. I wanted to play off all the craziness that is politics and Washington, D.C. The creatures in the great swamp have become so predictable, a story about the political implications and hijinks of a White House wedding just flowed from my pen. Plus, I always found it interesting that a country that intentionally broke away from the monarchy, goes crazy over royal weddings. Admittedly, I am one of them. I won’t get up at 4 a.m. to watch, like so many of my friends, but I will tape a royal wedding and watch it later. And yes, I did seek teacups from Diana’s nuptials. Unfortunately, none were to be found. At least stateside. I imagine once she dumped Prince Charles, their value went up dramatically! Unfortunately, White House weddings are rare and although we go crazy over royal weddings, I doubt things would proceed so smoothly here. Every aspect of the wedding would be dissected and criticized by the media and political opponents, making the wedding itself a pretty negative experience, which is probably so few occur here.

     

    What is your favorite genre to read?

    I love mysteries and suspense, and obviously, I love romance!

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

    Miss Marple.

    What are you working on at the moment?

    I’m working on the fifth book in my Feisty Lawyers Series tentatively called the Martimus Project. It involves disappearing socialites, private prisons, and a deep sea habitat that uses prison labor! I’m also working on a new series that features a flamboyant attorney who is also a vampire!

    What books will we see from you in coming months?

    The Martimus Project. Possibly the first book in my new series.

    Is It True: The Alpha Council Chronicles by Brenda Sparks @brenda_sparks #RLFblog #PNRWelcome to Romance Lives Forever. I’m Kayelle Allen, author and owner of this blog. Let’s play Is It True with today’s guest, Brenda Sparks, author of The Alpha Council Chronicles, a paranormal romance series now on sale for a limited time. This is a game with yes and no questions. Writers can elaborate on answers as much as they choose.

    In the shadows of the night, there exists a band of warriors–a group of vampires, known as the Alpha Council. Their vow, to protect not only their kind but the humans existing alongside them.

    Together they will confront an extraordinary destiny of peril, passion, and dark pleasures in the riveting paranormal romance series, The Alpha Council Chronicles.

    For a limited time, The Alpha Council Chronicles series is on sale. Each story is $0.99, and the entire series can be purchased for only $3.96

    this is your first series?

    Yes, in fact, while I have written a few stand-alone stories, this is my one and only series.

    How many books are part of a series?

    There are 5 stories at this time with one more in production. Alpha Mine, Deadly Alpha, Alpha Lover and Alpha Pair are currently on sale for $0.99 each while Alpha Revealed is due to be released in March.

    you lost sleep while writing this series?

    Absolutely! The heroes of this series invaded my dreams, specially Nicholai. I’d wake in the middle of the night and have to get out of bed to write down a scene.

    you did research for this series?

    I had to do a lot of research regarding Russian royalty because some of my vampires are descendants of The House of Romanov.

    some characters in this series are not human? (pets for example)

    Besides the vampires, the series features a group of demons who love to cause trouble and aren’t exactly fans of my Alphas.

    this series has more than one genre?

    No. It is strictly a paranormal romance.

    you speak more than one language?

    I can speak and understand a little Spanish, French, and sign language, but I will only admit to speaking English.

    you grew up where you live now?

    No. I grew up in Virginia and now live in the Sunshine State.

    you love to read?

    Absolutely! There is never enough time in a week to read, but I do it every chance I get. I’m a big fan of paranormal and historical romances.

    you are never late?

    I’m one of those people who feels like if I arrive 15 minutes ahead of schedule then I’m actually late. Being late is one of my biggest pet peeves.

    you love pizza?

    Ummm…yes!! I’m a wanna be Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle.

    you love sushi?

    It’s not my thing, but I love watching the sushi chefs make it.

    you have a pet?

    I do. Two years ago, I rescued a pair of rats from being sold as snake food. The girls are silly and sooo smart. It’s been fun having them around the house.

    Introducing Claire Lauer from My Valentine Adventure, by Amber Daulton @amberdaulton1 #RLFblog #ContemporaryRomance

    Introducing Claire Lauer from My Valentine Adventure, by Amber Daulton @amberdaulton1 #RLFblog #ContemporaryRomanceLet’s meet Claire Lauer from My Valentine Adventure, a Contemporary Romance, by Amber 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 the story your author wrote.

    My Valentine Adventure by Amber Daulton

    Genre: Contemporary Romance

    Book heat level (based on movie ratings): PG-13

    Parker Townsend is raising his children alone after he lost his wife, but then his ordered world is turned upside down when his two little hellions place a “Mom Wanted” ad in the local paper. To his chagrin, he’s roped into a blind date.

    Claire Lauer answers the want ad with few expectations and meets Parker on Valentine’s Day, a day she hates with a passion. As an animal rights activist and a divorcée, she’s more comfortable with a placard in her hand than in the company of a handsome man with emotional baggage.

    After a protest takes a turn for the worse, she seeks shelter in her date’s arms. Will Parker and Claire find the courage to lay their fragile hearts on the line, or will they lose their second chance at happiness?

    Introducing Claire Lauer

    Please tell me about yourself.

    Age: 35

    Gender: Female

    Birthplace: Phoenix, Arizona

    Profession: Fulltime gardener and sales associate at Sunny Garden Nursery

    Ethnicity: Caucasian

    What do you look like?

    Oh, Lord. I knew you’d ask that question. Well, I’m five-feet-ten. I love wearing high heels, but sneakers are my go-to footwear. I have shoulder-length, honey-blonde hair and blue eyes. My thighs and hips are a little chunky, though, and I suck in my tummy way too often. Dieting doesn’t work with me, but that’s my fault. I just can’t lay off the nacho chips. Damn, they’re delish.

    Who is the significant other in your life?

    Parker Townsend. He’s six-feet-two with reddish-brown hair and blue eyes a few shades darker than mine. He works as an electrician and is a wonderful father to his children. He’s also totally droolworthy, but he doesn’t know it.

    Do you get by, live comfortably, live extravagantly?

    I live comfortably, which I prefer. My parents are wealthy and my ex-husband is a successful defense attorney, but he only married me for my father’s connections. The prick. Anyway, I’m teaching my daughter Kaylie the importance of self-reliance and that she doesn’t need material things to be happy.

    What is your viewpoint on wealth?

    Since we live in a capitalist society, some money is necessary to live a safe life, but riches and jewelry is not my cup of tea. As long as I make enough money to take care of myself, Kaylie, our rescue pets, and to pay the bills, then I’m happy. Of course, now that Parker and I are together, my little family has substantially grown. We’re pooling our resources and saving on expenses by living together.

    Do you see morality as black-and-white, or with shades of gray?

    It’s black-and-white. There’s wrong and right, bad and good. I’m open-minded enough to know everyone makes mistakes, but when someone is purposely doing something cruel and someone else is paying the price…my temper blows. I don’t mean to preach, but I don’t like zoos, circuses, or any event that uses and abuses animals. How can stabbing an elephant with a sharp poker be a good thing? Really?

    If you could make any one thing happen, what would it be?

    That every animal enslaved in circuses and non-compliance zoos the world over will be rescued and sent to live in the wild or in a wildlife sanctuary. Unfortunately, that will probably never happen. The financial cost to provide the environment that the animals would need would be too great. Then add in the campaigns to reshape public opinion. It’s not an affordable option on the grand scale.

    What is your biggest personal flaw?

    I care too much about the people and animals around me, so I’m often hurt when things don’t turn out as I’d hoped. I hide behind a strong mask, but inside, my personal demons take a toll.

    Sweeter Than Chocolate: Valentine’s Day Anthology by Carly Carson @Carly_Carson #RLFblog #NewRelease #Contemporary Romance

    Sweeter Than Chocolate: Valentine's Day Anthology by Carly Carson @Carly_Carson #RLFblog #NewRelease #Contemporary RomanceCarly Carson, 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.

    Sweeter Than Chocolate: Valentine’s Day Anthology by Carly Carson, et. al

    Contemporary Romance

    Book heat level (based on movie ratings): R

    Sweeter than chocolate and hotter than your heart’s desire.

    Celebrate the day of love with sixteen sweet and spicy stories from some of your favorite USA Today and Amazon Bestselling Authors. Brimming with love, passion, and angst, this anthology will satisfy your sweet tooth, set your heart on fire, and leave you yearning for more.

    So tear into your favorite box of Valentine’s Day chocolates, pour a glass of wine, and start reading for some decadent, melt-in-your-mouth Valentine-themed romances.

    Why did you write this book?

    I had already started a series about British dukes. I’ve always been interested in marginalized people, and how they retain their cultures, so I knew I wanted to incorporate the Romany people, which required me to move the story to Europe. Then I love to ski, so I thought it would be fun to include a bit of that sport. And voila! Royal Masquerade (my story in this anthology) was born.

    What is your favorite genre to read?

    I read almost every romance genre, but my favorites are contemporary, military, and romantic suspense.

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

    I would have to say Aragorn, from Lord of the Rings, because I do love heroic figures!

    What are you working on at the moment?

    I’m working on another book in my series about British dukes, the Duke of Renfren. When all you have is a noble title…

    You just might need your adolescent crush and next-door neighbor, Lady Sarah Devonwood, to shake up your world and teach you what’s important in life.

     

    What books will we see from you in coming months?

    I have another story in my British Dukes series well underway. Please look for the Duke of Coventry.
    Ariel struggles to support herself making pastries in a small English town. At night, she dances alone under the stars. The heir to an impoverished dukedom could easily fall in love with the mysterious dancing nymph, but he needs to marry the Lady Godiva movie star currently making a movie at his castle.
