A Swan’s Sweet Song by J Arlene Culiner
Genre Contemporary Romance
Book heat level (based on movie ratings): PG16
The instant Sherry and Carston meet, there’s desire and fascination in the air…but they’re complete opposites. Smart-talking Sherry Valentine has fought her way up from poverty to stardom as a country music singer. Now, ever in the limelight, ever surrounded by clamoring fans, male admirers, and paparazzi, her spangled cowboy boots carry her from one brightly lit stage to the next. But Sherry’s been on the star circuit for far too long now, and she wants a change: is it too late for her to begin an acting career?
A renowned, but reclusive playwright, Carston Hewlett cherishes his freedom, the silence of the deep woods surrounding his home, and his solitary country walks. Long-term commitments have been out of the question for many years, so why is he suddenly fascinated by a flashy country music singer? Perhaps a very short, but passionate, fling will resolve the problem. When their names are linked in the scandal press, and Sherry’s plans to become an actress are revealed, Carston is furious. Is their budding relationship doomed?
Know the Heroine from A Swan’s Sweet Song
Sherry Valentine is the heroine of my romance, A Swan’s Sweet Song. She’s a tough, funny, mature country music singer who’s been on the road for just too long. She’s tired of screaming fans, the paparazzi, gossip magazines, and temporary relationships that never work out. For some crazy reason, she thinks that changing careers and becoming an actress, will be more satisfying — despite the warnings of Charlie Bacon, Sherry’s aggressive and pushy agent, who warns her she’s too old for starring roles in Hollywood.
It’s late, she’s bored. What does she do?
Goes to bed with a good book and a glass of red wine.
Describe the kind of clothes she prefers to wear.
Because Sherry’s manager, Charlie Bacon, insists that a music star is on stage all the time, she has to wear tight jeans, sparkling fringed shirts and cowboy boots. But cowboy boots make her toes ache, and she’s love to down dress in a simple elegant black dress.
How does she act around children she doesn’t know?
She’s good with children and loves visiting them in sick children’s hospitals where she gets them to laugh and sing. However, she has never wanted any children of her own. She knows that she has no maternal instinct.
What is she like first thing in the morning?
She’s warm, and lovely, and always fun. Even when she discovers she has to walk ten miles at the crack of dawn, she laughs and takes the ordeal in stride.
Does she drink coffee? If so, how does she take it? If not, what does she drink instead?
Coffee with milk and no sugar, and when Carston brings her coffee in bed, he wins her heart.
What apps would she have on her phone?
None. She hates having to be in touch with the world. A phone is for urgent work calls only.
Tattoos or unadorned skin?
Natural, unadorned skin. All she wants is her natural hair color and no makeup.
Recycle or toss?
Recycle, of course.

I’m Kayelle Allen, author and owner of this blog. Happy to have you here!

The Alien and the Elf by Tricia Schneider
Genre Holiday Sci-Fi Romance
Book heat level (based on movie ratings): R
My name is Noelle, and I’m an elf. I was minding my own business, testing a newly installed engine on Santa’s sleigh when it suffered a slight malfunction, and I found myself spiraling out of control.
Then a bright beam of light hits, and I’m taken onboard a spaceship. Jaxar is a sexy, to-die-for, green-skinned alien who thinks I’m intruding on his salvage.
He’s never met an elf. Well, I’ve never met an alien. With no way to get home, I need Jaxar’s help.
Can we work together to fix Santa’s sleigh in time to save Christmas?
It’s beginning to look a lot like … aliens for Christmas!
Get ready to set your holiday thrusters to hot! If you love alien romances, you’ll adore this brand-new collection of steamy alien novellas and short stories by New York Times, USA Today, and international bestselling authors.
Know the Heroine from A Very Alien Christmas
Here are some fun questions to help us know your heroine.
It’s late, she’s bored. What does she do?
Noelle likes to tinker. When she’s bored, she goes into Santa’s workshop and fixes things like broken toys or malfunctioning equipment. She also likes to invent things. She’ll take out a sketch pad and draw her ideas.
What kind of food would she impulse buy if hungry?
Peppermint candy canes
Describe the kind of clothes she prefers to wear.
Standard issue elf clothing. Everything is green, red and white. Sometimes with a combination of stripes.
Does she know how to fix things?
She loves to fix things! It’s her job! She’s passionate about taking things apart to see how they work and then assembling it back together. She’s always full of ideas on how to make things work more efficiently.
She tried to do something and it went badly. Tell us about it.
Noelle finally talked Santa and the head elf into installing a new engine in the sleigh. Something that doesn’t require the magic reindeer for flight. She’s testing the engines when something goes wrong mid-flight and the engines stall. Smoke billows and she and the sleigh plummet to the Earth. Thankfully, Jaxar is in the area with his spaceship and beams her aboard.
How does she act around children she doesn’t know?
She loves children! She helps Santa deliver presents every year to children she doesn’t know. It pleases her beyond belief to make children happy.
What is she like first thing in the morning?
Noelle can be a bit of a grump until she has her peppermint mocha latte. Yes, even in the North Pole they drink coffee.
How does she act around people who don’t know what she is?
She doesn’t get away from the North Pole often, but when she does, as long as she keeps a hat on her head to cover her pointed elf ears, she can pass for human. She has a bubbly, optimistic attitude and doesn’t shy away from meeting new people… or aliens.
Will she let a worker handle things or do it herself?
Noelle is a team player. While she does tend to take control of a situation, she knows protocol. She didn’t take it upon herself to tinker with Santa’s sleigh. She got permission from the big boss first. After that, she enjoyed working on the new engine, but she didn’t work alone.
Earrings/piercings/tattoos or unadorned skin?
No earrings or other piercings. She thought once about getting a candy cane tattooed on her behind, but never went through with it.
Personal vehicle or public transport?
Santa’s sleigh isn’t her personal vehicle, but he’s been known to let his elves take it for a spin now and again. As long as they aren’t seen by humans.
Recycle or toss?
Always recycle. Noelle is excellent at fixing or re-purposing broken toys and other items. She never throws anything away.

Know the Heroine from A Witch’s Holiday Wedding by Tena Stetler @tenastetler #RLFblog #ParanormalRomance
Torn in too many directions, with a covert mission throws a wrench in Tena Stetler’s paranormal romance/mystery A Witch’s Holiday Wedding. Will Pepper and Lathen make it to the alter or will life as they know it be destroyed?Tena, welcome to Romance Lives Forever. I’m Kayelle Allen, author and owner of this blog. Happy to have you here!

A Witch’s Holiday Wedding by Tena Stetler
Genre Paranormal Romance/Mystery
Book heat level (based on movie ratings):
Elemental witch, Pepper McKay and former Navy SEAL, Lathen Quartz have built Lobster Cove Wildlife Rescue and Rehabilitation Center on enchanted McKay land. 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?
Know the Heroine from A Witch’s Holiday Wedding
Here are some fun questions to help us know your heroine.Do You know how to fix things?
Yes. I had to make do with a shoe string budget when she worked for Gwen in the Salem Sanctuary for ten years. Now the knowledge comes in hand for my own Rescue and Rehab in Lobster Cove, Maine.
What are you like first thing in the morning?
Slow and a bit of a bear first thing in the morning. I’m a night owl by nature.
How do you act around people who don’t know what you are?
Friendly but reserved. No one but my close friends and family know I’m a witch. I want to keep it that way.
Do you let a worker handle things or do it yourself?
I’ve hired responsible workers and let them handle the tasks assigned. They know to come to me with any questions.
Recycle or toss?
Recyle
Who is the significant other in your life?
Lathen Quartz
Do you get by, live comfortably, live extravagantly?
I live to get by comfortably. There’s too much unknown in the world of wildlife rescue to live extravagantly. The creatures in your care many need the funds more than you.
What is your viewpoint on wealth?
I live on a comfortable budget. I always believe in putting funds away for unexpected expenses.
Do you see morality as black-and-white, or with shades of gray?
Oh definitely black-and-white. There’s wrong and right, bad and good. I’m aware everyone makes mistakes, I’ve certainly made my share. But when individuals are purposely doing something cruel and someone or a poor creature ends up paying the price. That is unacceptable under any circumstances.
If you could make any one thing happen, what would it be?
That every mistreated animal or injured creature find safety wildlife sanctuary or be treated and released into their natural habitat. As far as people are concerned, I wish they’d realize that they are forever responsible for that which they have tamed.
What is your biggest personal flaw?
I tend to like animals more than I do people except the friends and family I surround myself with. I don’t trust easily. That trust has to be earned and a lot of people see that as unfair. It used to bother me what others thought, but now I figure it’s their loss.

When Rowena left Adam without a word, she broke his heart. Now it’s almost Christmas, and she’s back… but she has webbed hands and feet, and a tail! Can Adam and Rowena put their past behind them and build a future together?Alice Renaud, 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 heroine, but first, tell us about The Holiday Mermaid, a short story in the Desire Me Again anthology by BVS.
The Holiday Mermaid in the Desire Me Again anthology by Alice Renaud
Genre Paranormal Romance
Book heat level (based on movie ratings): R
Blurb for The Holiday Mermaid
Adam fell for surfer girl Rowena the second he saw her. But just as their summer fling was becoming serious, she left him without any explanation. Now, with Christmas just a few days away, she’s back… and Adam discovers that she’s a shape-shifting mermaid, from a Clan that hates humans. Can he love her as she is? Can she brave her family to be with Adam for good, not just for Christmas?
Blurb for the BVS anthology Desire Me Again
The hopeless romantic believes that a soulmate exists for each of us. That there is one person who makes us feel how good it is to love them. For some couples, things trigger them to push that love away. They find out too late they’ve lost true-love. Sometimes genuine love deserves a second-chance at the happy ending that eluded them the first time.
Desire Me Again is an eclectic assortment of short stories exploring a second-chance at love. The collection is as diverse as the authors who wrote them. Here’s a chance to read the work of talented writers you may not have read before. Within these pages, there are blends of tender, often moving and thought-provoking stories.
Know the Heroine from The Holiday Mermaid
Here are some fun questions to help us know your heroine.
It’s late, she’s bored. What does she do?
She goes for a swim. There’s always some fish to chase or a dolphin to chat to.
What kind of food would she impulse buy if hungry?
Fresh seafood. Oysters, shrimp, mussels… raw or cooked she loves them all.
Describe the kind of clothes she prefers to wear.
As little as possible. Clothes are a hindrance when you’re a shape shifting mermaid, they make shifting more difficult.
Does she know how to fix things?
As long as it’s something related to a boat or the sea. She can repair a fishing net in minutes, but don’t ask her to change a plug or fix a car engine. She’s never driven in her life, and she spent most of her life underwater until she met Adam.
She tried to do something and it went badly. Tell us about it.
She was always attracted by the human world. So one summer, she took advantage of the fact that her uncle and cousins were away to visit a human village on the coast. She met a young local man, Adam, and was immediately attracted to him. She thought she could have a summer fling, and then go back to her life as a dutiful mermaid of the Regor Clan. But she fell in love. She left Adam without a word or a note, because she couldn’t tell him the truth… but couldn’t bear to lie to him.
How does she act around children she doesn’t know?
She loves children. She is warm and playful with them. She finds it easier to relate to human children than to adults.
What is she like first thing in the morning?
Bright and sparky and ready to go, to catch the morning tide!
How does she act around people who don’t know what she is?
She is always on her guard, for fear of betraying her secret. Shape-shifting mermaids and mermen are supposed to keep their true nature hidden from humans.
Will she let a worker handle things or do it herself?
She’d have to let a worker handle things if it was something she didn’t have a clue about – like human inventions such as cars or electricity. But she prefers to do things herself when she can. She was brought up to work hard and be self-sufficient, as her parents died young and she was brought up mostly by her stern and traditional uncle, Rhys, leader of the Regor Clan.
Earrings/piercings/tattoos or unadorned skin?
Mermaids in the Regor Clan don’t wear jewelry or tattoos until they get married.
Personal vehicle or public transport?
Public transport. But she likes her surfboard best of all.
Recycle or toss?
Recycle. Mermen and mermaids love the sea and the coast and do everything in their power to keep them clean.

She tried to do something and it went badly. Tell us about it.
Samantha is a Marine veteran dealing with PTSD and injuries she received from an IED explosion. She’s dealt with a lot of challenges over the past year and a half.

She’s normally a quiet and reserved person, but if the child looks scared Samantha will try to put them at ease by talking to them.

Unadorned skin. She admires tattoos on other people, but has never felt the need to get one herself.
Personal vehicle or public transport?
She drives an SUV for personal use.

Lost Hearts in the Bayou by Amber Daulton
Genre Erotic Romance
Book heat level (based on movie ratings): R
After Julie crashes her helicopter in the Louisiana swamp, she finds help from a sexy scientist, who happens to be her ex! Too bad Seth is the all-work-and-no-play type. How will she convince him to set aside his work and take a chance on her? Or is a second shot at love too much to hope for?
Included in the Sultry Summer Sizzle anthology.
Know the Heroine from Lost Hearts in the Bayou
Here are some fun questions to help us know your heroine.
It’s late, she’s bored. What does she do?
Julie’s a tomboy, so she would probably watch football or some kind of sports on TV. If her favorite teams weren’t playing, she would read the latest crime thriller novels on the bestseller’s lists.
What kind of food would she impulse buy if hungry?
Potato chips, definitely.
Describe the kind of clothes she prefers to wear.
Tank tops and comfortable cargo shorts or khakis. She only dresses up when the occasion calls for it, but trust me, she can rock a slinky black dress and high heels.
Does she know how to fix things?
Oh, yeah. Since she’s a pilot, she knows all about the mechanics of a plane and how it operates. Give her a wrench and she’s happy.
She tried to do something and it went badly. Tell us about it.
She took a chance on a guy completely different from her normal type. Seth was intelligent, sensitive, and driven while her past boyfriends were carefree and macho. Some of those jerks even had the tendency to jump into other women’s beds. Even though she and Seth started out hot and heavy, he ended up caring more about his scientific work than he did spending time with her. After he forgot about her birthday, she called it quits.
How does she act around children she doesn’t know?
She’s standoffish around kids, whether she knows them or not.
What is she like first thing in the morning?
Coffee. If you wake her up before the alarm goes off, you better have a cup of java in your hands. After a dose of caffeine, she turns from a grouch to a woman who’s ready to seize the day.
Can she use chopsticks?
Yep. She’s eaten enough Chinese takeout to master the delicate art of dining with chopsticks.
Does she drink coffee? If so, how does she take it? If not, what does she drink instead?
Uh, hello? Did you miss my earlier comment?
Just kidding! She’ll drink coffee night and day if she had to. She takes it black in the morning and with cream throughout the day.
What apps would she have on her phone?
Hmmm. Time zones, terrain, airflow, geography, and stuff like that are important factors in her job, so she’d have apps to reflect that.
Android or iPhone?
iPhone. The sparkly blue case she has for her phone is one of the few girly things she owns.
Earrings or unpierced ears?
She loves to wear diamond studs in her ears. Seth had given them to her for a Christmas present before they broke up.
Tattoos or unadorned skin?
No tats, but she’s not opposed to getting one. Maybe someday.
Personal vehicle or public transport?
She loves her sporty red car, but she’d rather fly than drive.
Recycle or toss?
Recycle, of course. Litterbugs are a big no-no in her book.
Thanks for helping us get to know your heroine!
