Re/Leased (Doms of the FBI 5) #RomanticSuspense @MZurloAuthor #RLFblog
This quick interview includes info about the author, and introduces the story.About the Author
I’m Michele Zurlo, author of over 20 romance novels. I write contemporary and paranormal, BDSM and mainstream—whatever it takes to give my characters the happy endings they deserve.
I’m not half as interesting as my characters. My childhood dreams tended to stretch no further than the next book in my to-be-read pile, and I aspired to be a librarian so I could read all day. I ended up teaching middle school, so that fulfilled part of my dream. Some words of wisdom from an inspiring lady had me tapping out stories on my first laptop, so in the evenings, romantic tales flow from my fingertips.
I’m pretty impulsive when it comes to big decisions, especially when it’s something I’ve never done before. Writing is just one in a long line of impulsive decisions that turned out to showcase my great instincts.Interview with Michele Zurlo
Why did you write this book?When I first conceived of the Doms of the FBI series, I had envisioned four books—one for each Dom mentioned in the first book. Since then, the series has grown and readers have demanded more. In book 4, I introduced characters from a security company that is called in to help uncover corruption within the Bureau. With Re/Leased, I wanted to write about a heroine who had a history as a thief, and I wanted her to meet a Dom I hadn’t previously introduced. There’s all kinds of tension because his job is to find out who is stealing from his estranged father’s company, and she has a lot of secrets and a shady past. They’re perfect together, but trust and obstinacy are definitely issues they have to deal with. It’s sweet, feisty, heartbreaking, and heartwarming.What is your favorite genre to read?I love to read YA and nonfiction. My day job is as a middle school English teacher, so most of my reading has to do with books I think my students will like. The last book I read is Here in Harlem by Walter Dean Myers, which is a poetic imagining of a neighborhood during the Harlem Renaissance (my favorite period in literature.) Within the YA title, I’ll read pretty much anything.Who is your favorite character from fiction (not including your own)?The Tenth Doctor. I hope TV shows count. I loved the way David Tennant portrayed Doctor Who. He took the role from the darkness of Chris Eccelston’s #9 (seizing on the hope #9 set in motion) and elevated it. He was funny, smart, and strong—everything a classic hero should be. I especially loved him with Donna/Catherine Tate. [Disclaimer: This is in no way intended to disparage any other Doctor portrayal.What are you working on at the moment, and will see from you in coming months?I am working on finishing the draft for Re/Viewed (DFBI 6), which I hope is finished by the time this is published. I have a tentative publication date of Dec 2016. I also hope that by the time this is live, I have finished a short story for a cowboy anthology with RB4U. Lastly, I should (if I’m still on schedule) be brainstorming the first book in the SAFE Security series, a spinoff of the Doms of the FBI series, featuring David and Autumn, the same couple you’ll get to know in Re/Leased. Their story is just getting started, and I’m hoping to have it ready to go in early 2017.Please tell us about your latest book.Honoring a promise he made to his late mother, David Eastridge, part owner of SAFE Security, returns home one final time—to help his father find the culprit responsible for embezzling three million dollars from his company. It should be an easy job—his father already has a suspect in mind.After a series of tragic events that robbed her of a father and put her sister in a coma, Autumn Sullivan was forced to take on several jobs just to get by. She’s an accounting assistant by day, an occasional service Domme on the weekend, and a thief-for-hire by night.David’s strategy of hiring Autumn—as a submissive—backfires when he finds himself enchanted by her sense of humor and playful attitude. Determined to prove her innocence, he enlists the help of Malcolm Legato and Agent Keith Rossetti to dig deeper. This enigmatic submissive is openly hiding things from him. Her secretive nature and the bread crumbs she drops about her past don’t add up—not even when he assigns Jesse Foraker, his SAFE Security buddy—to tail her and search her apartment. None of them are prepared for what the FBI uncovers.Falling in love wasn’t in the plan, but David makes her believe that she isn’t doomed to live a solitary life. Plunged into a world of lies and espionage—with a serial killer after her—Autumn is forced to come to terms with her past if she is to have any hope of a future with David.About the Book

Why did you write this book?I wrote the first book in the VIP Desire Agency series and loved the story (Lady in Red) that was centered around a call girl so much, I introduced more professional women so I could focus on those girls too and turn it into a series. There’s so much to love about these gorgeous women with their emotional pasts. In High Class, my heroine, Scarlet, has raised her twin sisters after their mom passed away when Scarlet was just eighteen. With their father walking out on them long before their mom died, Scarlet feels no man is worthy of love, not when they can leave at any time for greener pastures.What is your favorite genre to read?That would be a toss-up between erotic contemporary, sci-fi and paranormal. I also love Young Adult.Who is your favorite character from fiction (not including your own)?I’m a huge fan of Kresley Cole’s contemporary erotic series, The Game Maker series. If I had to choose it would be Maksimilian Sevastyan from the book The Master.What are you working on at the moment, and will see from you in coming months?I’m working on Existence, a vampire paranormal story where the hero has been living in a vampire’s nest for forty-six years, where he is a donor to his master. Other women donors have come and gone in the years, all dying, but a new woman donor the vampire brings in soon changes everything.I’m also working on the next book after High Class, and have a few other projects in the works for different publishers.Please tell us about your latest book.Claire Davis has tried to give herself and her sisters a simple life since their mother died when she was 18.

Except the one woman he pays to be with him also turns out to be the one woman whose heart isn’t available at any price. He wants more than her beautiful body…he wants all of her.

Meet Sheriff Jack Lang from Take These Broken Wings #pnr @LiviaQuinn #RLFblog
Meet Sheriff Jack Lang from Take These Broken Wings by Livia Quinn.
About the Book
Title Take These Broken Wings, Destiny Paramortals, Book 5Genre Paranormal RomanceBook heat level (based on movie ratings): PG13Destiny. Is it Mayberry or Middle Earth?Jack Lang knows first hand about Destiny’s secrets. Turns out he was one of them. On Mardi Gras Eve he and his unlikely band of heroes defeated some particularly nasty creatures intent on taking advantage of the Paramortals’ vulnerability during the Chaos. They called it Chaos because the word “Armageddon” was already taken. Destiny survived with the help of their dragon and some special friends, then Jack received the biggest shocks of his life. And that was saying a lot.He’d chosen this town the year before for the normalcy and safety it could provide his teenager after a life of upheaval with his ex. He’d been looking for Mayberry. Instead he’d found, not a town, but a world full of magical beings, odd occurrences, and scary creatures. There’d been one shock after another and yet, instead of leaving and taking Jordie somewhere “safe”… he’d stayed.Now he suspected he felt the pull of this special place long before he’d known it existed. But that hadn’t been the only reason. It had all begun the first time he’d seen Tempest Pomeroy. That was when his world had turned upside down—along with half the town. He’d surprised himself with his acceptance of the supernatural. He’d even almost accepted this latest blow, but that had been before he found out he no longer belonged anywhere. Not with humans, and not among supernaturals. Something had gone haywire in his family DNA.Now he’s abandoned the women in his life, his responsibilities–everything except for the need to quench the gnawing hunger in his gut and this compulsion to jump off the highest levees in the parish. He was just sorry there were no mountains in Louisiana.Introducing Sheriff Jack Lang
Welcome to Romance Lives Forever! We’re happy to have you here today.Thanks, it’s good to be here. I’m Jack Lang, thirty-three, former Navy pilot, now Sheriff of Destiny, Louisiana. I have a spunky, beautiful fifteen year old daughter named Jordie.Ethnicity/Species (if not human):Hmm, great question, actually. I always thought I was human, or maybe I still am, in addition to being a dragon. I guess you could say things are in “transition”.Describe your body and build, skin tone, height and weight. Include any unique features such as dimples, freckles, or scars:I used to be around 6′ 2″, dark complected, brown hair and green eyes but I’ve gotten taller and more muscular recently. When I shift, I turn into a big sparkly dragon with silver eyes.Who is your significant other.Five months ago, I would have told you it was Tempe. Now, I could be in the dog…er… dragon house…cave. My life has kinda gone FUBAR.Tell us a little about yourself.After getting full custody of my daughter, my parents suggested I run for sheriff in Destiny. I figured it would be the perfect (normal) place to recover from the craziness of our life with my ex, Georgeanne.I was wrong.Please tell us about your education.I signed up for the U.S. Navy as soon as I graduated and within two years was doing what I always wanted to do. Fly. I knew the Navy would supply everything I desired – travel, education, a career and women. I figured those would be the most important things in my life. Then my daughter Jordie came along.Do you get by, live comfortably, live extravagantly?I live simply because nothing matters but keeping Jordie safe and providing for her needs, but that hasn’t been simple. Nothing’s simple when it comes to G-Crazy.On what special skills do you rely?Until recently, the only special skill I had was flying, but then I was blindsided with this quickening thing and now I can’t even do that.Are any of your skills a source of pride or embarrassment, and if so, which ones and why?Definitely embarrassment. This new form I’ve taken on, though it’s not exactly a skill, well, I should have more control over it. When Conor shifts he morphs into an awesome dragon knight with these giant swords strapped to his shoulders. Me? I just wind up naked as a jaybird. And what good is a dragon that can’t breathe fire, or fly? Embarrassing is not the word.How do you dress?Nothing exciting. I wear a sheriff’s uniform, unless I’ve just shifted, then… see the previous question.How well do you know your neighbors?Ha! Neighbors. Is that a euphemism for crazy supernaturals? Cause that’s what my town is all about. I know a heck of a lot more now that I did six months ago when I moved here thinking it was a quaint, ordinary town for Jordie. Seriously, I was thinking “Mayberry”. But instead, I found Middle Earth.What is your breaking point?I didn’t think I had one, until I met Tempest Pomeroy and the citizens of Destiny.But that was then… now, I think I overestimated my own resilience, and possibly my mental stability.Do you see morality as black-and-white, or with shades of gray?Black and white was the old Jack. Things were so much simpler then; now it seems I see nothing but gray. I’m having a hard time with change, and my relationships with Tempe and my daughter are suffering. If I don’t get it together soon, I’m going to lose everything.Buy This Book

Marked by Honor a new #medievalromance by @LaurenLinwood #RLFblog
This quick interview includes info about the author, and introduces the story.About the Author
Lauren Linwood’s historical romances use history as a backdrop to place her characters in extraordinary circumstances, where their intense desire for one another grows into the treasured gift of love. Her romantic suspense novels feature strong heroes and heroines who unite to defeat a clever antagonist and discover a deep, abiding love during their journey.A native Texan, Lauren is an avid reader, moviegoer, and sports fan who manages stress by alternating yoga with long walks. She plans to start a support group for Fixer Upper addicts—as soon as she finishes her next piece of dark chocolate.Interview with Lauren Linwood
Why did you write this book?I’ve always been fascinated by the medieval era and have written three standalone medieval romances. I decided I wanted to go bigger, so I created The Knights of Valor. Word of Honor was the first book in this series, and now Marked by Honor is the second. I introduced Raynor Le Roux in Book 1 and left him with a broken heart. Now in Book 2, he gets his HEA with Beatrice Bordel.What is your favorite genre to read?Besides romance, I am wild for thrillers. Steve Berry and Brad Meltzer are two authors I enjoy reading because they weave in historical details that become an integral part of the plot.Who is your favorite character from fiction (not including your own)?I adore Pride and Prejudice’s Elizabeth Bennet. She is feisty, intelligent, and has a good heart.What are you working on at the moment, and will see from you in coming months?I’m deep into my Knights of Valor series. Code of Honor is Book 3, and it will come out October 5. I’ve just finished writing Journey to Honor, Book 4 in the series. It will release early in 2017. Two more books will finish out the series next year. I just need to get them written!Please tell us about your latest book.Lady Beatrice Bordel blames herself for the riding accident that cost her father his life when she was a child. Tragedy strikes again when her mother and grandfather die on the same day, leaving her homeless. The young woman decides to travel to visit her grandfather’s closest friend, hoping she can use her domestic skills and lute-playing talent to find a permanent place in his household. Barely into her journey, a band of highwaymen accosts Beatrice and her sole servant. All seems lost—until Raynor Le Roux arrives.As a knight of the realm, the code of chivalry guides Raynor’s life. While returning to his family’s home after many months absence, he rescues Beatrice, who tells a white lie to this handsome stranger. Raynor takes her to safety at Ashcroft, but his home has changed during his time away. No longer a thriving estate, Ashcroft has fallen into disrepair because his brother Peter is no longer interested in its welfare after his wife’s untimely death. Raynor determines to restore his home before he escorts Beatrice north so she may unite with the man he believes is her betrothed.The couple’s growing attraction turns to love, but Beatrice’s dishonesty stands between her and Raynor’s happiness. Will she finally tell him the truth—and hope he forgives her deception—or will it be too late?About the Book
