    Love Me, Lust Me Not by Brittany Boykin

    Genre: Romance

    Book heat level (based on movie ratings): R

    Hello, I’m Beverly, owner and partner of Off-the-Wall-Marketing based in Manhattan. I have never been one for love because I have my heart set on the one guy I can’t have: Davis Jones.

    When my dream man suddenly becomes available, I find myself caught in a potential love triangle. His crazy, almost ex-wife puts us through some psychotic stunts and tries to make her way back into Davis’ arms. Am I also falling for one of my best friends? In the middle of my trying love life, I find out some heart wrenching news about my business partner. My life is literally falling apart at the seams. What am I supposed to do?

    When someone dies, we say they “kicked the bucket.” Therefore, a list of things that a person wants to accomplish, places to go, situations to experience, and so on have become known as a “Bucket List.”

    Age: 35

    Gender: Female

    Birthplace: New York

    Profession: Owner of Off the Wall Marketing

    Ethnicity: Caucasian

    Please provide a physical description of yourself.

    I have dark brown hair, hazel eyes. I am tall and slender with a smile that will knock you out. I have legs for days, but I tend to dress modestly.

    Please tell us a little about yourself.

    I own my own business with my partner, Jeff. We met in college and started our company together. I have regretted partnering with him every day since. I love to hang out with my best friend Sheila and our friend, Mark. I am completely in love (or is it lust?) with Davis, one of Jeff’s clients who happens to work in our building. Even though I try to steer clear of drama, it somehow seems to always find its place smack in the middle of my life.

    Who is the significant other in your life?

    Well, you will have to read my story to find out. I can’t give away too much. I don’t want to spoil anything!

    If you haven’t made a bucket list before, perhaps now would be a good time. Who knows? It might inspire another book. While you’re at it, how about telling us about some of your other favorite things? Here are the questions.

    Tell us about your favorite toy as a child.

    Hmmm. My favorite toy was probably coloring. Does that count? I still to do this day love artwork and being creative. I guess that is why I love marketing so much!

    Describe your favorite food and how it’s prepared.

    My favorite food is definitely a big ol’ juicy hamburger. I can’t eat them often, but I will put one away every once in a while.

    Tell us about your best friend.

    Oh, Sheila! She is my rock. She helps me through everything in life. She knows way too much about me and I her. She is a gossip and sort of dramatic, but that is one of the many reasons why I love her.

    What are two places you would like to visit before you die, and why?

    Paris! I have always been a romantic at heart. I would love to go to the most romantic city on Earth with the love of my life one day. Also, Hawaii! I love beaches and Hawaii is absolutely beautiful in pictures. If I can ever get away from the office one day, I will convince my honey to take me.

    Where is a place you would never like to return, and why?

    NYU. It was fun, and I am appreciative for my time there, but I really can’t stand the immaturity of college kids. I wanted to study and get my degree. Everyone else wanted to party. GAG.

    Who is someone you would like to meet, and why?

    Oprah. I have always been inspired by her and her success. She is just such an amazing woman. I would absolutely love to just sit and have coffee with her one day. One woman to another.

    Who is someone you would like to avoid, and why?

    Jeff, my business partner. I can’t really go into too much detail because of legal issues while we await trial. You should read my story to find out more.

    If you could time travel to any date, what would it be, and what would you do there?

    Probably the 50s. I would love to wear a poodle skirt and sit in a diner with my boyfriend. Friday night football with my posse. Okay I know that sounds lame, but my favorite movie is Grease. “Tell me about it. Stud.”

During a romantic interlude on Halloween night, Pepper happily agrees to become Lathen’s wife. What better day than Winter Solstice for their wedding in a town that loves celebrations and Christmas. However, planning a wedding and operating their wildlife center takes a toll on both Pepper and Lathen.

    When the couple takes a much-needed break for Thanksgiving with family in Colorado, a Maine snowstorm fills the center with injured wildlife. Lathen finds himself drawn into a covert military mission, while trying to deal with issues concerning friends and family. Pepper wants to cancel the wedding. Is she having second thoughts? Will the nosy McKay ghosts, Lathen’s werewolf pack, Pepper’s parents, and her best friend help or hinder the wedding and holiday plans?

    When someone dies, we say they “kicked the bucket.” Therefore, a list of things that a person wants to accomplish, places to go, situations to experience, and so on have become known as a “Bucket List.”

    Gender: Male

    Birthplace: Alaska

    Profession: Former SEAL turned handyman

    Ethnicity: Native American

    Please provide a physical description of yourself.

I have my dad’s unusual aquamarine blue eyes, Deeply tanned from working outside most of my life. My limp is the reason I’m no longer in the special forces.

    Please tell us a little about yourself.

    I’m the manager of building maintenance for Lobster Cove Wildlife Rehab and Rescue. I also work with disabled vets, helping them adjust to life and find them jobs.

    Who is the significant other in your life?Bucket list of Lathen Quartz from A Witch's Holiday Wedding @TenaStetler #RLFblog #ParanormalRomance

    Pepper Rylie, she owns the Wildlife Rehab and Rescue.

    If you haven’t made a bucket list before, perhaps now would be a good time. Who knows? It might inspire another book. While you’re at it, how about telling us about some of your other favorite things? Here are the questions.

    What is your birth order?

    I have an older brother who still lives and works in Alaska.

    Tell us about your favorite toy as a child.

    My childhood was a bit different from most, as I’m a shapeshifter from a pack in Alaska.

    Describe your favorite food and how it’s prepared.

    A good porterhouse steak, medium rare, big baked potato with butter and cheddar cheese, and a nice green salad.

    Tell us about your best friend.

    I have a couple. My older brother. He works for the Division of Wildlife in Alaska. And Jay, a buddy who I served with. Jay assists me with the vets getting them the help they need and jobs. He has his own plane charter service. Comes in handy.

    What are two places you would like to visit before you die, and why?

    Hawaii. I’d love to take Pepper and just lay on the beach, watch the waves roll in and not worry about what disaster is coming next that will fill our Rescue. Don’t get me wrong. I love the work, but just a little R&R for a bit would be heaven.

    Rocky Mountain National Park. Love to go camping there. I have a large trailer that we plan to use for our honeymoon, if we ever get that far.

    Where is a place you would never like to return, and why?

    Anywhere there is a war waging. What people do to their fellow man/woman in war is unspeakable. I deal with the after effects every single day.

    Who is someone you would like to meet, and why?

    General Colin Powell. A very smart man. His rules to live by helped in my darkest hours. Do you know that they are? I’ll tell you a few:

    It ain’t as bad as you think. … (I have to admit sometimes it feels like it is.)

    Get mad, then get over it.

    Avoid having your ego so close to your position that when your position falls, your ego goes with it.

    It can be done!

    Be careful what you choose.

    Don’t let adverse facts stand in the way of a good decision.

    Who is someone you would like to avoid, and why?

    Anyone in politics. They never see beyond the nose on their own face.

    If you could time travel to any date, what would it be, and what would you do there?

    When I came back injured, I was an SOB to deal with, I couldn’t get a handle on my PTSD and I was filled with hate. My family….well it was bad news… Anyway, I’d go back to that time and try to mend the situations I caused at the time. Which are personal, so I’ll leave it at that.

    Meet Tena Stetler

    What was your biggest challenge in writing this book?

    Keeping all the timelines straight, since I’d written A Witch’s Journey before and this was to be the sequel. Names, descriptions and events had to be correct from on to the other. As it turned out there will be two more books in this series released by summer’s end or fall 2020.

    Why did you choose this character for the interview today?

    Lathen is such a multi-dimensional personality. A tough as nails former Navy SEAL and still a protector. Yet he has a soft caring side for Pepper, friends and the wildlife. He finally mended the family he tore apart when he returned from the mission that nearly took his life and did take many of the lives of his team.

    When writing the book, what did you discover about this character that surprised you? How he was determined to mend things between him, his father, brother and pack in Alaska.

    Are any sequels planned for this book?

    Yes, in fact, Hidden Gypsy Magic will be out this summer and Chocolate Raspberry Magic later this year. Fingers crossed.

    What genre(s) would you like to write that you haven’t tried yet?

    Cozy Mystery. I have a series started.

    What did you like best about writing this series?

    These characters are each broken in some way…taking them through a life crisis and seeing how they came together to help each other heal was wonderful.

    Keeping Faith by Beverley Oakley

    Genre Historical Romance
    Book heat level (based on movie ratings): Mature Audience
    “My beautiful Revenge.”
    Four years ago, Faith’s mysterious benefactress falsely accused her of stealing and deposited her in Madame Chambon’s exclusive brothel.
    There, Faith was to learn how to entrance London’s noble gentlemen with her learning in philosophy, politics and art.
    Her body was to be saved for the greatest enticement of all: revenge.
    Faith doesn’t care what she has to do. She lives only to fulfil a bargain that will set her free.
    But when Faith is recruited as the muse of a talented, sensitive painter whose victory in a prestigious art competition turns them both into celebrities overnight, she discovers the reasons behind her mission are very different from what she’d been led to believe.
    Now she is complicit in something dark and dangerous while riches, adulation and freedom are hers for the taking.
    But what value are these if her heart has become a slave to the man she is required to destroy?

    Beverley Oakley was seventeen when she bundled up her first her 500+ page romance and sent it to a publisher. Unfortunately drowning her heroine on the last page was apparently not in line with the expectations of romance readers so Beverley became a journalist.
    Twenty-six years later Beverley was delighted to receive her first publishing contract from Robert Hale (UK) for a romance in which she ensured her heroine was saved from drowning in the icy North Sea.
    Since 2009 Beverley has written more than thirteen historical romances, mostly set in England during the early nineteenth century. Mystery, intrigue and adventure spill from their pages and if she can pull off a thrilling race to save someone’s honour – or a worthy damsel from the noose – it’s time to celebrate with a good single malt Scotch.
    Beverley lives with her husband, two daughters and a Rhodesian Ridgeback puppy the size of a pony opposite a picturesque nineteenth-century lunatic asylum. She also writes Africa-set adventure-filled romances tarring handsome bush pilot heroes, and historical romances with less steam and more sexual tension, as Beverley Eikli.
