Lorelei Confer, 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.
Deadly Homecoming by Lorelei Confer
Genre romantic suspense
Book heat level (based on movie ratings): R
Madelyn (Maddy) returns home to arrange her mother’s funeral and has to face her biggest fear; her ex who broke her heart, but in oh so many more ways than one.
Garrett, her close childhood friend and FBI agent assigned to the human trafficking task force, gave his heart to her years ago and wants no other woman.
Does he have a second chance, or will her ex steal her from him again?
Why did you write this book?
This is the 5th book in the Deadly series and it carries a message, like all the other books in the series about awareness of human sex trafficking. So when I learned about Truckers Against Trafficking (TAT) I wanted to share this message or knowledge with everyone. So many people and organizations have come forward to fight toward the eradification of human trafficking and I want everyone to know and be aware.
What is your favorite genre to read?
Romantic Suspense and Mild Thrillers
Who is your favorite character from fiction (not including your own)?
Sam Elliott in the Christmas movie: “Prancer.”
What are you working on at the moment?
Oh, gee! I’m setting up a lot of promo. I have 4-5 books planned for release this year (see below). I also have two more in the Deadly series in various stages of writing and editing, etc. and then one more in the Saddle Creek series I’d like to finish to release in 2021. I’m also reintroducing the Deadly and Saddle Creek series with fresh covers so there will be a much needed change (I think) in the overall look. I’ve been working on another book as well that is not a part of either series, I hope to finish this year as well.
What books will we see from you in coming months?
Deadly Homecoming on preorder now and will be released February 18th, 2020.
A Cowboy’s Sweet Spot releasing April 14th as part of the Romances on the Range 2020 Anthology, a Deadly series book that’s with my editor will release mid summer, Moonlight Kisses and MugShots, in the Saddle Creek series is planned to release on or about Sep 2020, and then another Saddle Creek Christmas Romance 2 will come out in early November.

Don’t Drop the Baby (Dr. Brogan Corkie Matchmaking Doctor, Book 1) by Linda O’Connor @LindaOConnor98 #RLFblog #medical #romanticcomedy
Linda O’Connor, 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.
Don’t Drop the Baby (Dr. Brogan Corkie Matchmaking Doctor, Book 1) by Linda O’Connor
Genre Medical Romantic Comedy
Book heat level (based on movie ratings): PG
Dr. Brogan Corkie is happily semi-retired from medicine and now has time for other hobbies. Her passion for food is only second to her skill at matchmaking!
Ross Skye, owner of BabyCare, a high-end line of baby merchandise, is injured in an accident, and Brogan uses her cooking, medical – and matchmaking – skills to help him out. Dr. Lauren Ross is taking care of her nephew for two weeks, and Brogan agrees to babysit while Lauren is at work.
Two years ago, Ross and Lauren dated. At that time, Lauren wanted kids, but Ross wasn’t keen. Now the tables have turned, and Ross is trying to convince Lauren that they’d make an awesome parenting team. Brogan suggests they test drive parenthood by looking after a simulated baby for a week – a computerized version that eats, sleeps, wets, and cries. Ross and Lauren experience the “joy” of having a newborn firsthand, and the bar is set pretty low. Their first goal is: don’t drop the baby. The second goal is to find out if their love for each other will survive the test of…parenting.
Why did you write this book?
I thought it would be fun to write a romantic comedy series about a retired doctor who upgrades her M.D. from Medical Doctor to Matchmaking Doctor. Dr. Brogan Corkie brings couples together and gives them a nudge in the right romantic direction. A second romance overarching through all the books is Brogan’s romance. She practices what she preaches.
What is your favorite genre to read?
I love reading romantic comedies, romance in general, and cozy mysteries.
Who is your favorite character from fiction (not including your own)?
My favourite fictional character is Andy Carpenter, a reluctant lawyer who helps solve mysteries in the Andy Carpenter series by David Rosenfelt. He’s brilliant and funny (as is the author!).
What are you working on at the moment?
I’m editing the third book and writing the fourth book of the Dr. Brogan Corkie Matchmaking Doctor series. It’s a Christmas romantic comedy!
What books will we see from you in coming months?
I’ll be releasing Don’t Forget the Dog, Book 2 in May 2020 and Don’t Unravel the Past, Book 3 of the Dr. Brogan Corkie Matchmaking Doctor series in August 2020. And look for Book 4, a Christmas romance, in November. Can’t wait!

When I was little, I thought everyone had stories in their head. I didn’t find out that wasn’t the case until kindergarten. I remember thinking that was sad; and that I should share the ones I had. I asked my teacher for help. I had her cut, fold and staple the paper into a suspiciously book-like shape. Then I drew the cover art and illustrated the interior pages. Finally, and most importantly, I dictated the text. And violà … a writer was born.
It took thirty years for me to get from that first attempt to published author. I think the road thus far has added some depth and experience to my writing. At the very least I learned I shouldn’t ever do my own illustrations.
A city girl, born and bred, I tend to place my stories in and around southeast Pennsylvania, or at least have a character or two from the area. Home is where the heart is and I make mine with my two beautiful daughters and my two grandsons whom make every day a blessing.
Making my own dreams come true, one happily ever after at a time.

Arresting Mason by Amber Daulton
Genre: Romantic Suspense

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.

Read the interracial romance My Way to You by Lyndell Williams @laylawriteslove #RLFblog #UrbanRomance
Lyndell Williams, welcome back to Romance Lives Forever. I’m Kayelle Allen, author and owner of this blog. We’re excited to find out more about your book. Please tell us about My Way to You.
My Way to You by Lyndell Williams
One amazing year has passed, and readers continue to connect with Simon and Regina, the steamy couple in my first novel My Way to You.
As their clandestine romance evolves, Simon and Regina fall deeper in love. Making sure that things stay between them becomes progressively impossible, and neither knows how much longer they can keep Marcus in the dark and the world at bay.
I introduced RLF readers to readers last December. Simon risks his friendship with Regina’s brother Marcus by being with her. Regina, a social justice blogger, may lose her bread and butter by dating an Asian man and angering some of her followers.
I chose the amazing digital artist Taria Reed for the book’s cover. She is known for her quality work and specializing in diverse covers that include interracial couples. Before Taria created the My Way to You cover, all of my energies finding images depicting and an Asian man and Black woman produced nothing. I also had a tough time finding an artist with the expertise to convey Simon and Regina’s passions and desperate need to shut the world away. Then a friend recommended her, and she created a work of art that showed exactly what I wanted.
People absolutely judge books by their covers, especially me. I shared my concept with her, and she delivered in spades. The Simon and Regina on the outside reflect the dynamic couple on the inside, drawing readers into their powerful story.
So, let’s celebrate the My Way to You Bookiversary. Check out the new cover. Enter a giveaway on my site for a chance to win an author’s swag bag.
