I’m Kayelle Allen, author and owner of this blog. Happy to have you here! We’re excited to find out more about your hero, but first, tell us about Tiger’s Last Chance.

    Tiger’s Last Chance by Christina Lynn Lambert

    Genre: Paranormal Romance

    Book heat level (based on movie ratings): R

    While working a case, Sean Whitman is tortured for information, drugged, and bitten against his will by a shape shifter. The fallout leaves him jobless, friendless, and dumped by his girlfriend. Needing a fresh start, he leaves town and opens a private investigation business. Learning to live life sober isn’t easy, but he makes it to the two year mark.

    When Detective Nikki Jackson with the Great Oaks, Virginia Police Department calls him, accusing him of breaking into his ex-girlfriend’s house, Sean can’t help but like the sound of her voice, despite her ridiculous accusations. He’s shocked when she calls him back with an apology then asks for his help as a consultant on a case. On the phone, her sweet, slightly Southern voice captivates him. In person, she’s unlike any other woman he’s encountered, and nearly impossible to resist. But could the sexy detective ever want a man like him?

    After Nikki’s last dating disaster, the mountain lion shifter has sworn off men. Then she meets Sean, and with every second she spends around the tall, dark-eyed man, her resolve crumbles. But for some reason, despite the undeniable attraction between them, Sean seems determined to push her away.

    An investigation into missing refugees leaves Nikki with more questions than answers. Her refusal to let the matter drop leads her to the discovery of a radical political group’s horrifying plot for dominance. Traitors are embedded within the very organizations meant to keep shifters safe. As the list of people she can trust dwindles, Nikki calls on Sean to help her unravel a web of deceit.

    As Nikki and Sean fight for survival, his fear of losing her could become a reality. Will he get one last chance to show her he loves her?

    Know the Hero from Tiger’s Last Chance

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

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

    If he’s tired but not tired enough to sleep, he will sit in bed and read a book. He loves horror, mystery, science fiction, and fantasy. He might even write a poem or two. He doesn’t usually share his work with anyone but he enjoys writing. If he’s got a lot of restless energy, he’ll either listen to one of his favorite playlists while he hits the treadmill or his weight bench.

    What kind of food would he impulse buy if hungry?

    His snack choice is meatball subs or hamburgers and fries. He’s not a fantastic cook but luckily he lives near plenty of great restaurants and sandwich shops.

    Describe the kind of clothes he prefers to wear.

    Sean doesn’t like to dress up. He prefers t shirts, jeans, and running shoes.

    Does he know how to fix things?

    He can fix basic stuff around the house, for anything more complicated, duct tape will be involved.

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

    A couple years ago, two guys broke into his house and started interrogating him about a case. When his girlfriend (now ex-girlfriend) came to the door, he tried to get her to leave quietly and quickly so he could keep her safe. So many things went wrong. The memory will always haunt him.

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

    He doesn’t know a whole lot about kids, hasn’t been around them much, but he treats them with decency and never ever acts condescendingly towards kids. He figures they deserve the same basic rights as everyone else so he listens when they speak rather than dismissing them or trying to shut them up.

    What is he like first thing in the morning?

    He’s not really a morning person. Extra strong coffee helps.

    How does he act around people who don’t know what he is?

    He doesn’t share much about himself, definitely not anything about being a shapeshifter. Lots of regular humans know about the existence of some of the stranger creatures in life, but many don’t, so he’s always careful about what he says.

    Will he let a worker handle things or do it himself?

    When Sean’s private investigation business started gaining a fair amount of clients, he hired an assistant. Training Darnell forced Sean to learn to let go of the need to have control over every detail.

    Earrings/piercings/tattoos or unadorned skin?

    He doesn’t have any tattoos. He hates needles. He does have a few scars but Nikki thinks he’s hot just the way he is.

    Personal vehicle or public transport?

    He has to travel for different investigations so he drives a truck that has plenty of space for surveillance equipment and luggage.

    Recycle or toss?

    He always recycles. He loves spending time outside and doesn’t want to trash the environment.

    Christina Lynn Lambert Social Media

    A few years ago, I read my first romance novel and I was hooked, so much so that I decided to give the idea of writing a story a chance. Love, courage, hope, and second chances are a few of my favorite themes. My stories include a fair amount of sarcasm, suspense, steam, and violence. When I’m not writing, I enjoy spending time outside and finding ways to avoid cooking. I live in beautiful Virginia with my husband, two daughters, and a sweet, hairy monster of a dog.

    Know the Hero from Lapses of Memory by MS Spencer @msspencerauthor #RLFblog #RomanticSuspenseMS Spencer, welcome to Romance Lives Forever. I’m Kayelle Allen, author and owner of this blog. Happy to have you here! We’re excited to find out more about your hero, but first, tell us about Lapses of Memory.

    Lapses of Memory by MS Spencer

    Genre Romantic Suspense

    Book heat level (based on movie ratings): R

    Sydney Bellek first meets Elian Davies in the 1950s on a Boeing 377 Stratocruiser when she is five and he is seven. They run into each other every few years after that, but while he knows from the start that she is his true love, she does not. Later, as rival journalists, they vie for scoops on international crises from the Iranian revolution to the Lebanese civil war. The handsome and intrepid Elian beats her out at every turn, even while keeping his love for her secret.

    Only after years of separation does she finally realize they are meant to be together, but this time, in a twist of fate, it is Elian whose memory of her is gone. Will he remember her before she loses heart or will their new love be enough to replace the old one?

    Know the Hero from Lapses of Memory

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

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

    Elian is never bored. He is constantly on the move, constantly investigating. He’s a famous photojournalist, covering events from the Iranian revolution to the Lebanese civil war.

    What kind of food would he impulse buy if hungry?

    I don’t know about food, but he does usually have a couple of airline-sized liquor bottles in his pocket.

    Describe the kind of clothes he prefers to wear.

    Ex-officio—LL Bean. Travel clothes for the adventurous. Like safari shirts with flaps and hiking boots.

    Does he know how to fix things?

    Not really. He’s a man of action; not a homebody.

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

    The first time he and Sydney try to make love, it does not go well. Here’s Sydney telling her daughter about it years later:

    “He was magnificent. A stallion.” Sydney’s lips curled upwards.

    Olivia tut-tutted. “Yeah, right. I bet it was awkward as hell—just like most first times.”

    Sydney made a face. “I did my best not to laugh. First he couldn’t figure out how to unhook my bra. Then he tripped over his pants and fell face first on the bed. Well, to be more specific, on the cat.”

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

    Funny question, since he has a child he doesn’t know is his. He loves her anyway.

    What is he like first thing in the morning?

    Sexy.

    Can he use chopsticks?

    Absolutely. He has traveled all over the world and eaten all kinds of cuisine.

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

    He likes Arab (Turkish) coffee, masbout (medium sweet).

    What apps would he have on his phone?

    None. For all but the last chapter, we meet him before the App Era.

    Android or iPhone?

    Neither. He might have a Motorola cell phone.

    Beard or clean-shaven?

    Clean shaven. He likes to show off his pointed chin. They go with his elfin ears and hair that could belong to a leprechaun. Oh, and eyes the color of the Caribbean Sea at high noon.

    Earrings/piercings/tattoos or unadorned skin?

    He had a diamond stud in his ear, which led Sydney to believe he was a privileged Ivy League bore. He gave it up in exchange for something Sydney cherished.

    Personal vehicle or public transport?

    He is known for leaping onto trucks and buses in order to get a story. Never owned a car.

    Recycle or toss?

    Recycle.

But when the owner’s intoxicating young nephew offers more than sweet treats, she’s tempted to indulge in a hot summer fling before returning home.

    Thirty-one-year-old Matteo Verducci craved a fresh start to mend his broken heart, and he’s found almost perfection in Ocean View, where he scoops gelato by day and crafts furniture by night.

I’m Kayelle Allen, author and owner of this blog. Happy to have you here! We’re excited to find out more about your hero, but first, tell us about the book.

    Burning Bridges by Anne Krist

    Genre Contemporary, Military Romance

    Book heat level (based on movie ratings): PG13

    Consider the role of strangers in our lives. An unknown postman in Virginia hides a bag of mail one day. His simple action set in motion untold consequences for many others—strangers—all over the country. How many bridges were burned in that forgotten mail pouch?

    Sara Richards’s world is rocked when three love letters from 1970 are delivered decades late. The letters were written by Paul Steinert, a young sailor who took her innocence with whispered words of love and promises of forever before leaving for Vietnam. Sara is left behind, broken hearted and secretly pregnant, yearning for letters she never received.

    Then Paul died.

    Now, years later, she discovers the betrayal wasn’t Paul’s, when her mother confesses to a sin that changed their lives forever. How can Sara reveal to Paul’s parents that they have a granddaughter they’ve missed the chance to know? Even worse, how will she find the words to tell her daughter that she’s lived her life in the shadow of a lie?

    Picking her way through the minefields of secrets, distrust, and betrayal, Sara finds that putting her life together again while crossing burning bridges will be the hardest thing she’s ever done.

    Know the Hero from Burning Bridges

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

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

    Paul is an avid reader, so he always has something nearby to read. He like thrillers. Since he’s spent most of his adult life as a farmer, he keeps up with new techniques with farming magazines. He also likes to fish or just grab an apple and find a quiet place to relax.

    What kind of food would he impulse buy if hungry?

    Bing candy bars—a concoction of a soft cherry center surrounded by chocolate. They’re only available in stores in the Midwest.

    Describe the kind of clothes he prefers to wear.

    Casual all the way. He’s used to jeans. He doesn’t wear tee shirts often, though. Casual, collared shirts are what he likes. When he dresses up, like for church or a special occasion, suits will do. But he gets out of them as soon as possible. He does splurge for some clothing. He has a fabulous sheepskin coat for those cold Iowa winters.

    Does he know how to fix things?

    He can fix most anything. Living far out of town, he and his brother and nephew rely on their skills to fix whatever breaks. Give Paul and engine—any kind of engine—and he’ll make it sing.

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

    In Vietnam, he tried to check a native family’s papers and return to his ship, but he nearly ended up in a bloodbath. It made his question why he and his fellow sailors were in Vietnam to begin with. The episode scared him. He relayed this in a letter to his love, Sara.

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

    Paul likes children but he doesn’t seek them out. When he’s around them he will generally stand back and let others take charge.

    What is he like first thing in the morning?

    He’s used to getting up before daylight and getting right into hard labor, so he pretty much is fine with it. I wouldn’t say he jumps out of bed and starts whistling, but he knows how to get half a day’s work done by the time others are just rising.

    Can he use chopsticks?

    If he wanted to, but why??

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

    Oh yes. Strong and black.

    What apps would he have on his phone?

    Weather, a favorite parts store app, Amazon Kindle

    Android or iPhone?

    iPhone

    Beard or clean-shaven?

    Clean shaven

    Earrings/piercings/tattoos or unadorned skin?

    Nope. He and a group of his shipmates decided to get tattoos once when they were on R&R in China Beach, but he said that he sobered up before it was his turn.

    Personal vehicle or public transport?

    Private transportation. In Iowa he had a truck and a Jeep. He took the truck with him to South Carolina. He’s always lived in places where public transportation wasn’t feasible.

    Recycle or toss?

    He recycles, though he’s not rabid about it.

During the day, her characters killed people, fell in love, became drunk with power, or sober with responsibility. And they had sex, lots of sex. That’s how Dee spends her days. Her nights? Well, she’s lucky that her dream man, childhood sweetheart, and long-time hubby are all the same guy, and nights are their secret.

    Know the Hero from Timeless Beginnings by Amber Daulton @amberdaulton1 #RLFblog #TimeTravelRomanceAmber Daulton, welcome to Romance Lives Forever. I’m Kayelle Allen, author and owner of this blog. Happy to have you here! We’re excited to find out more about your hero, but first, tell us about the book.

    Timeless Beginnings by Amber Daulton

    Genre Time Travel Romance

    Book heat level (based on movie ratings): PG13

    Leonora Harris fled her newly wedded husband’s home in Georgian England, 1725, and took shelter in a cave during a rainstorm. She woke up in a cold, barren land and a handsome stranger with a mechanical carriage offered her shelter.

    Undercover American operative Rodger Ramsey never expected to find a runaway bride in the magnificent Salar de Uyuni. Assigned to Bolivia to investigate Communist activities, he just wrapped up his two-year mission in 1963 and followed his heart to the salt flats one last time.

    Sparks flew and attraction sizzled. The lost, stubborn woman kicked his protective instincts into overdrive. Rodger took her home with him, determined to help her before he returned to the States, and Leonora flourished under his guidance. Their hearts intertwined. He wanted her, needed her, but could he truly love a woman who believed she jumped two hundred years in time?

    Will they find a way to stay together, despite the obstacles between them, or will Leonora survive in this strange new world alone?

    Know the Hero from Timeless Beginnings

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

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

    Since Rodger is a CIA agent on assignment in Bolivia in 1963, he doesn’t have a lot of off-time. When he gets bored, he checks on his contacts in the criminal underworld or spies on the Communist party that’s taking charge of the government.

    What kind of food would he impulse buy if hungry?

    Fruit. Chocolate or junk food is a rarity where’s he’s stationed, so he’s become accustomed to snacking on apples.

    Describe the kind of clothes he prefers to wear.

    Slacks and sweaters.

    Does he know how to fix things?

    Rodger earned a degree in Engineering before he joined the feds, so he’s very capable with his hands. Which is great for his lady love, Leonora. *wink wink*

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

    That’s classified. Sorry. Unless you have clearance? No? Next question.

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

    He’s comfortable around them. He has three younger siblings, so he grew up in a large family.

    What is he like first thing in the morning?

    Wide awake, alert. He’s trained his body to wake at a certain time.

    Can he use chopsticks?

    No way. He doesn’t have an opportunity to eat Oriental food anyway.

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

    Nope. No coffee. He misses that luxury.

    Android or iPhone? What apps would he have on his phone?

    “Apps? Robots? What is Kayelle talking about?”

    “Shh.” Yeah, sorry. Rodger was responding to that one. I’m shushing him.

    Beard or clean-shaven?

    Clean-shaven, most of the time.

    Earrings/piercings/tattoos or unadorned skin?

    Unadorned skin. He’s too much of a square to take a walk on the wide side. Thank God that doesn’t apply to the bedroom, though, or Leonora wouldn’t be too happy.

    Personal vehicle or public transport?

    Four-by-four jeep. Without it, he never would’ve found Leonora wandering around the flats.

    Recycle or toss?

    Recycle. Even though saving the environment wasn’t a widely spread notion back in the ’60s, he doesn’t believe in wasting things.

    Know the Hero from The Proposition by Jan Selbourne @JanSelbourne #RLFblog #HistoricalFictionJan Selbourne, welcome to Romance Lives Forever. I’m Kayelle Allen, author and owner of this blog. Happy to have you here! We’re excited to find out more about your hero, but first, tell us about The Proposition

    The Proposition by Jan Selbourne

    Genre Historical Fiction

    Book heat level (based on movie ratings): R

    War changes a man. For Harry Connelly it’s down to a bullet on the Western Front or arrest and prison at home – until, badly wounded, he collapses beside the body of Andrew Conroy. Same build, same colouring, illegitimate, no known family. It’s his only hope -what does he have to lose – Harry swaps identity discs.

    Now Andrew, he’s just another face in post war London until a letter. A cousin from the dead soldier’s unknown family wants to meet, to make amends. Barely surviving on his pension, ‘Andrew’ agrees and is presented with a shocking proposition. Accepting is out of the question, refusing pushes him into a nightmare of murder and blackmail and a very frightened Lacey Haines.

    Lacey is barely coping with the consequences of her sister’s treachery until Andrew saves her from a vicious assault. Can she trust him with her secrets which could kill them both?

    Know the Hero from The Proposition

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

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

    He left the war as another man and now he must live this lie without a mistake. The pub is the only place to go, where no one takes any notice of him.

    What kind of food would he impulse buy if hungry?

    Roast beef, if he can afford it

    Describe the kind of clothes he prefers to wear.

    Does he know how to fix things?

    Yes, he can turn his hand to most things,

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

    An invitation to meet the dead soldier’s unknown cousin was fraught with risk, but he’s almost broke and desperate and agrees. The meeting goes well until a ghastly proposition plunges him into murder and blackmail – but there’s no turning back. Stealing a dead soldier’s ID is a hanging offence.

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

    He has a real soft spot for children.

    What is he like first thing in the morning?

    Miserable with the life he’s brought upon himself, until he meets Lacey who is hiding more secrets than he is.

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

    Very well, although he constantly reminds himself that he is now Andrew and can never let his guard down.
