    The Understudy: Acts of Submission by Lisabet Sarai

    Genre Contemporary BDSM Erotic Romance

    Heat level (based on movie ratings) R/X

    When the Berks Hills Summer Playhouse offered me my first real acting job, I never expected to share a stage with theater legend Geoffrey Hart – let alone his bed. Nothing in my education or experience prepared me for the paradoxical pleasures of submission.

    Now I’m devoted to my master, for better or worse. According to the rumors, though, Geoff’s heart is taken. Dumped by his long-time sub, he has escaped to the Berkshires to lick his emotional wounds. Geoffrey’s dark games arouse me beyond belief, but I fear I’m just a substitute for the real object of his affections. Am I willing to settle for the role of understudy in this perverse passion play?

    Note: This book was previously published by Totally Bound. It has been revised, expanded and re-edited for this release.

In Pia Manning’s new small town menage romance, Finding Home, she must decide if her heart will allow both Brent and Luke Callahan in.

    Pia, welcome to Romance Lives Forever. I’m Kayelle Allen, author and owner of this blog. Happy to have you here! We support all furbabies, real life or fictional. We want to know all about your Fiction Furbaby, but first, please tell us about Finding Home: Caveman Creek Bk 1.

    Finding Home: Caveman Creek Book 1 by Pia Manning

    Genre Contemporary, Small Town, Menage Romance

    Book heat level (based on movie ratings): NC 17-X

    Newly licensed vet Elizabeth Faulkner only needs two things: New clients for her practice and a decent place to live for herself and her disabled little sister. When her sister inherits an old farmhouse in Pinecone Creek, Wisconsin, Elizabeth thinks at least one wish has been granted. But a greedy land developer will stop at nothing to get her land, and her new clients Brent and Luke Callahan, are more interested in a relationship than her vet skills. Brent and Luke have waited years for their forever woman. They know their wait is over once they see Elizabeth. But can she love two men? Can Elizabeth provide a home for her sister before the little girl becomes lost in the foster system? Welcome to Caveman Creek where the men behave a little like Neanderthals when it comes to their women

    Meet Put Furbaby Cleo Book Finding Home: Caveman Creek Book 1

    Full name: Cleo

    Nickname: n\a

    Gender: Female

    Species: Mix: German Shepherd/Yellow Lab

    Physical description: German Shepherd features with a yellow coat with black points

    Relationship to main character: Her furry friend

    Relationship to the villain/antagonist: none

    Where this furbaby came from: Cleo had been abandoned at a gas station. When Elizabeth stopped for gas, Cleo jumped into her truck

    Fiction Furbaby: Meet Cleo from Finding Home: Caveman Creek Book 1 by Pia Manning @PiaManning @RobsRescues #RLFblog #PetsWhat inspired you to create this character?

    I’ve worked with animal rescues in the past-I’ve done everything from washing pet blankets to grant writing. It never ceases to amaze me how dedicated rescue workers are. Elizabeth is a veterinarian, so naturally, she loves animals. She encounters Cleo at a gas station and is told the dog had been hanging around for a week, begging. It didn’t take her long to offer Cleo a home after that. While my furbabies are rescues, half are foundling rescues-they were abandoned and found their way to me. The other half are from humane societies.

    What does the main character think about this furbaby?

    Cleo is a trusted friend who rides shotgun to most farm calls with Elizabeth.

    What does this furbaby eat?

    Although Cleo eats kibbled dog food, she’s wouldn’t turn her nose up at table scraps.

    What is this furbaby’s natural habitat?

    Hmmmm, well they bonded over the front seat of Elizabeth’s truck, but Cleo also likes exploring anything outside and sleeping on the bed at night. At the end of the day, Cleo’s natural habitat is wherever Elizabeth happens to be.

    What does this furbaby add to the story?

    Joy and love. Cleo finds joy in almost everything. She loves to have her ears scratched, ride in the truck and explore old barns. (Oh the smells!) Even though she was abandoned, Cleo gives unconditional love to Elizabeth. Rescue dogs are big believers in second chances.

    About Blondie

    This post is called Fiction Furbaby, but perhaps your own pet does not have fur. If you have a pet that has fins, wings, scales, or other features, please tell us about them here.

    Which, if any of the pets in your writing are modeled after your own pets? In what way?

    In Finding Home, Cleo is modeled after my dog, Blondie. They could be twins they look so much alike! Blondie is a rescue from the local humane society. She had been passed around between different homes within the same family before someone decided they didn’t want her and brought her to the shelter. It took me thirty seconds to fall in love with her.

    What do your pets do when you are writing?

    Blondie likes to supervise her domain. This means going upstairs and laying down where she can see as much of the living area as possible. My cats like to lay on me somehow. Failing that, they’ll hang out on the back of whatever chair or couch I’m sitting on.

    What’s the most unusual pet you ever had?

    I’d have to say Mimi, the hedgehog.

    Where did you find your pet?

    Blondie was a humane society rescue, as was one of my cats. The other two cats were foundling rescues. Belle had taken refuge under some chairs on our deck. She was so sick that I didn’t know if she’d make it. Fortunately, we have a great vet! Frieda showed up during a snowstorm and decided to stick around.

    What do you feed your pet?

    The cats share a small can of cat food in the morning. They also have dry food available all day. Blondie has one biscuit after our morning walk, and then half a can of dog food mixed with two cups of dry. And we never (lol pfft) give her table scraps!

    Describe a toy or favorite item your pet loves.

    The cats love anything that moves. And boxes. Blondie has a big stuffed monkey that she carries around. She enjoys making it squeak.

    Know the Heroine from The Comtesse of Midnight, in Storm & Shelter, a Bluestocking Belles with Friends Collection

    Here are some fun questions to help us know your heroine.

    It’s late, she’s bored. What does she do?

    She likes to enjoy a glass of fine imported brandy.

    What kind of food would she impulse buy if hungry?

    Some fresh hot buttered bread.

    Describe the kind of clothes she prefers to wear.

    She prefers elegant gowns, but when working, trousers are more practical.

    Does she know how to fix things?

    She is not a helpless female. She has learned to do many things for herself.

    She tried to do something and it went badly. Tell us about it.

    The storm that hit Fenwick on Sea was far stronger than anticipated. Now her sloop is beached, the mast broken and there’s no telling what will happen to it before the storm abates.

    How does she act around children she doesn’t know?

    She is prepared to enjoy their company, or gently curb their exuberance if need be.

    What is she like first thing in the morning?

    She is usually just turning in then, since her business requires her to work nights.

    How does she handle things when in a “proper” social situation?

    She finds proper British society a bit stuffy and delights in poking at the conventions.

    Maid or takes care of herself?

    Alas, her maid left months ago when she was unable to continue paying her salary.

    Proper dress or casual clothes?

    Most proper, when the occasion calls for it; and most improper when required.

    Sleeves buttoned or rolled up?

    Buttoned, usually. It’s cold on the water.

    Powdered wig or natural hair?

    Powdered wigs went out of style ages ago, mon petit!

    Carriage or horseback?

    Horseback. Alas, the late Comte had to sell the carriage to pay debts.

    Thanks for helping us get to know your heroine!

    Does he know how to fix things?

    He only knows how to break things LOL.

    He tried to do something and it went badly. Tell us about it.

    He will get emotional and probably have a fit. He’s got a quick temper and lacks patience. If something does not go right the first time, he becomes frustrated.

    How does he act around children he doesn’t know?

    He’s really good with children. Being in foster care, he can relate to all children. He will talk to them. Play with them if they wish to play. If they are sad, try and cheer them up. He adores kids.

    What is he like first thing in the morning?

    He’s a little bit sleepy, but rather excited because he’s living at “Castle Oshawee,” his dream place, so every morning is something special to him, especially since René is across the hall from his bedroom.

    Can he use chopsticks?

    No. He prefers a knife and fork.

    Does he drink coffee? If so, how does he take it? If not, what does he drink instead?

    Yes, he does. He likes about three containers of cream and four teaspoons or sugar. If he’s not drinking coffee, he’s all about root beer.

    What apps would he have on his phone?

    He’s a 90s teenager so he does not have a smart phone, but if he did, he would most likely enjoy social media, drawing apps, apps related to his culture.

    Android or iPhone?

    I would say iPhone. He’s artsy, and he’d love Apple products.

    Beard or clean-shaven?

    Clean-shaven.

    Earrings/piercings/tattoos or unadorned skin?

    Unadorned.

    Personal vehicle or public transport?

    He gets to use the other hero’s truck in the story, so a Ford F150 4×4.

    Recycle or toss?

    Recycle. He’s very respectful of nature.

    Thanks for helping us get to know your hero!
