Lyndi welcome to Romance Lives Forever. I’m Kayelle Allen, author and owner of this blog. Happy to have you here! Please tell us about Sixshooter.
Sixshooter by Lyndi Alexander
Genre Science fiction romance
Book heat level (based on movie ratings): R
Valeni Pascual wants to be free to make a living hauling cargo with her spaceship and to understand the shapeshifting alien who presents sometimes as the steamy male Nik and other times as the blonde bombshell Nikki.
As a rebel insurgence builds against the oppressive government known as the Agency, Valeni and Nik/Nikki encounter a sexy Terran cowboy named Garrett Rawls. Since being pulled into this region of space by another mysterious wormhole, Garrett has looked for a way to return to Earth. After meeting Valeni and Nikki, he might have found something worth staying for.
However, dark forces may have a much bigger picture in mind for all of them. Valeni, Nik/Nikki, and Garrett are pulled into a life and death fight that lays bare all of their secrets and their desires. Will they lose everything as the battle against the Agency rages around them or can love pull them through?
Know the Hero from Sixshooter
Here are some fun questions to help us know your hero.
It’s late, he’s bored. What does he do?
He’s got Valeni and Nikki to be with if he wants female companionship, Nicholas and Luca if he wants an old-fashioned boys’ night…. but if they aren’t around, he’d likely watch old vids, read, tinker with the ship or toss a ball against the bulkhead, Steve McQueen-style.
What kind of food would he impulse buy if hungry?
Hot dog or sausage, something salty and not lowfat. He wouldn’t pay any mind to what actually is in the hot dog. This is a great trait in a new universe where you definitely have no idea what’s stuffed in between your bread.
Describe the kind of clothes he prefers to wear.
He comes from Earth, in the western territories, so he is partial to denim or denim- type fabric pants, button up shirt. Natural type fabrics. I can’t see him in polyester type fabrics, no Trek onesies. Space suits or the like only in emergencies.
Does he know how to fix things?
He’s not bad at it. His favorite uncle and his Grandpa Maurice made sure this little cowboy was good with his hands. He could probably MacGyver almost anything.
He tried to do something and it went badly. Tell us about it.
He was asked to transport a cargo to another planet, without being allowed to know what the cargo contained. Being a good captain, he objected to this, but was persuaded by his friend Valeni to accept it anyway. His curiosity got the better of him and he pried one of the crates open. What he found was startling, and the consequences of his action were deadly.
How does he act around children he doesn’t know?
Just like he’s their big brother and gets to play with them all day and doesn’t have to act like an adult.
What is he like first thing in the morning?
Definitely a “hit the snooze button, put the pillow over his head, ten more minutes mom” person. Unless what’s waking him is a pretty girl in his bed. Then he just does what comes naturally. ????
How does he act around people who don’t know what he is?
Not any different than he does the rest of the time. Garrett is what he is—everyone else can take it or leave it.
Will he let a worker handle things or do it himself?
He wouldn’t rudely take over, but he’s been raised to be a good guy and to be helpful, so he’d likely offer to help or even just handle something himself rather than bother someone who’s busy.
Earrings/piercings/tattoos or unadorned skin?
Hey, what you do when you’re drunk can’t be held against you, can it? I mean, there might be a tattoo. Or two.
Personal vehicle or public transport?
Personal. And with as much power as it can have.
Recycle or toss?
Traveling spacemen always conserve whatever’s possible, so recycle or give it to someone who needs it.
(With thanks for input to Kellie Hicks, who first originated Garrett long ago in an online RPG)
Thanks for helping us get to know your hero!

Introducing Brodie from Windmaster Golem by Helen Henderson @history2write #RLFblog #fantasy #romance
Save magic, the city, or a friend? Windmaster Golem by Helen Henderson
You have no magic. How do you stop a rogue mage, an army of clay soldiers, or save a friend from an invisible stalker?
Let’s meet Brodie from Windmaster Golem, a fantasy romance, by Helen Henderson. Welcome to Romance Lives Forever. I’m Kayelle Allen, author and owner of this blog. Happy to have you here! Please tell us about the story your author wrote.
Windmaster Golem by Helen Henderson
Genre Fantasy Romance
Book heat level (based on movie ratings): PG-13
Kiansel, sister to the current Oracle of Givneh, is expected to one day assume the mantle and lead the temple’s followers. Her emerging powers force an impossible decision. To answer the siren call of magic requires she turn her back on her family, her heritage and the teachings of the Oracle.
Banishment to a remote village as healer, a position he despised, fueled Relliq’s desire for revenge. The discovery of a mythical city and an army of clay soldiers provided the means to control all mages—including the one he wanted most—Kiansel.
Brodie, weaponsmith for the School of Mages couldn’t refuse the archmage’s request to act as escort for a healing team fighting a curse upon the land. But how can a man without any magic of his own fight a curse or protect a friend from an invisible stalker?
Introducing Brodie
Please tell me about yourself.
Age I have lived 30 turns in this volume. However my tale actually begins when I make a brief appearance in Windmaster as a youth
Gender: Male
Birthplace: A mountain village in Nerelan
Profession: weaponsmith
Species (for scifi/fantasy characters): human
What do you look like?
I have brown eyes that can have an intense gaze when creating a tool for a special friend. My hair is brown, which is usually kept cropped to collar length so that it doesn’t get in the way when I’m working. Long legs that give me a height that is taller than most on the Isle of Mages, except for the archmage and Murdo, who serves as sergeant major for the residents, helps make quick work of the climb to my hilltop forge.
Who is the significant other in your life?
Ahhh. I don’t have a significant other. I am fond of the archmage’s two daughters, but they are not a romantic interest (at least on my part) as I think of them as my own daughters. There is one whom I can envision a life with. However, Kia is the sister to the current Oracle of Givneh… and a mage. A future between Kia and me cannot be as I have no powers.
Please tell us about your education.
My first exploration into learning a craft was as a mercenary. And my first assignment was a failed attempt to kill Lord Dal. Fortunately for me, he spared my life. I studied for a year with the king’s head guard, then spent a cold season at Telarim the Red’s mercenary camp, studying weapons and their use. There my talent for weaponsmithing was realized and I stayed on for two campaigns working with the troop’s weaponsmith before I apprenticed with the top weapon makers in Nerelan. Book learning came later, as did training to develop my natural talents in the arts of sketching, engraving, and working with stones to use in the jewelry and blades I create.
Are any of your skills a source of pride or embarrassment, and if so, which ones and why?
My ability to imbue life into steel is something I am extremely proud of. The weapons I make for the journeyman mages will serve as their tool for the rest of their lives. Even though I don’t know who will select what token for the hilt or what blade, each piece is special and customized for their future owner. Although I haven’t witnessed it myself as I have no powers of my own, those who are summoned to the council fire say the token, hilt, and blade that are meant to go together call out to the mage who will use the dagger to focus their powers. The pieces have been said to emit a beam of light skyward that only the intended future wizard can see.
Do you get by, live comfortably, live extravagantly?
My needs are simple. I have my own cottage on the isle, the freedom to come and go as I please. Those who like growing plants do so for everyone from student to master, mage and villager alike. Meals can be eaten in the communal hall or you can cook for yourself. Most days I take a slab of bread and some sliced meat with me to eat as my mid-day meal while I work. The evening meal is at the village. Murdo is a good cook and an even better baker.
Those who see me out and about on the archmage’s tasks might say I live extravagantly because of the horse I ride and my welcome at the most powerful houses in the land. I will share a secret about Wirake. He is no ordinary horse, but the son of the head stallion of the vale. And instead of selecting a wizard, he chose me, a man with no magic of my own, as his rider.
What is your family like?
I never knew my parents and those who lived in the mountain village they came from never accepted me. Which is why I signed up with Ruaridh, the head of the mercenary troop serving the false oracle I was hoping to find a family in the brotherhood of fighters. Of course, if I had had a happy childhood, I would never have met the archmage. Dal and Ellspeth became my family, and their daughters mine. While I may not have a family bound by blood, I ended up with one with even stronger ties.
What inner doubt causes you the most difficulty?
That because I don’t have any magic of my own, that one day I will fail Dal and his mate, Ellspeth. The archmage and his lady are my friends. They and their daughters treat me as a member of their family. I would never forgive myself if they fell in battle because I did not train them well enough… or if I failed to protect them.
If you could make any one thing happen, what would it be?
Almost every day since I came to the isle of the wizard’s council and school of magic, I have rued the fact I don’t have the ability to work magic. The other wizards have never treated me less because of it. We are friends… They are my family… I am just not fully one of them.
If I could make one thing happen, it would be for me to hear the summons to the council fire where journeyman mages earn their rank and dagger. For, if I heard the silent summons that would mean I have powers and be worthy of Kia.

Carnal Transgression by Faye Hall
Genre Historical Romance
Book heat level (based on movie ratings): R
Would you break the law to protect the woman you love from a killer?
Constance Dunbar is desperate to discover who killed her sister. Her plea for help is ignored by the local police, so she advertises for a private investigator. Seamus Tynedale answers the ad, and she immediately recognizes him as the friendly stranger whose arms held her so tenderly as she wept after her sister’s death.
Seamus longed to be reunited with the dark-haired beauty who’d kissed him in the churchyard. When he ends up working for her as a private investigator, he knows that his position as a police constable needs to remain a secret due to her mistrust of the department.
As Seamus hunts for the murderer, he finds himself lured into a den of secrets and lies tracing back eighteen years to Ireland, and it all seems to be connected to Constance. Seamus delves into Constance’s past, hoping to understand the secrets she’s so intent on keeping hidden. What he finds is a passion that ignites his heart and captivates his senses.
When Constance’s life comes under threat, Seamus has to choose between following the law and protecting the woman he loves from a killer. Will he be able to safeguard Constance, or will he lose her to the evil that seems to have followed her to Australia?
Stressing Seamus Tynedale
Every hero has a story. He has a background, a history, and a past. This interview allows us to meet a hero and get to know him better, by focusing on how he handles being relaxed, as well as how he handles stress.Please tell me about your hero.
Age: 38
Gender: Nale
Birthplace: Ireland
Profession: Policeman
Ethnicity: Irish
Species (for scifi/fantasy characters):
What does your hero look like?
Red Hair, Green eyes, Slender build and Average height.
Who is the significant other in his life?
A dark haired beauty with an hourglass figure named Constance.
The Hero’s Relaxed Side
This hero is at a party. Considering his story, describe the party.
It would be very quiet and traditional. Perhaps just a few friends sharing some Irish whiskey whilst reminiscing about their hometown and the friends they’d lost.
How does the hero feel about being this particular party, and what body language is he displaying that gives it away?
Seamus would be very uncomfortable as he’s distanced himself from people for so long.
Is he more likely to mingle or remain aloof?
Very aloof.
If he drinks, what is his drink of choice at this party?
Irish whiskey
How much drink is his usual?
Only a small glass or two. Not a heavy drinker at all.
The hero figures out where the hiding places are and then goes there. Is it to hide, to avoid someone, or to go drag a friend back to the party?
Probably to hide, but if Constance has also left the party then he’d follow her just to sneak some time alone.
Is he likely to latch onto a friend and stay with him/her and ignore others, or is he the friend that others latch onto?
He’d stay by Constance’s side.
If someone picked a fight at this party, how is the hero going to handle it?
He would try to break it up, but would only throw punches if Constance was in danger.
Is the hero the one most likely to get tossed out of the party, or the one who does the tossing?
Despite his small stature, he can handle himself quite well so he’d be doing the tossing in an attempt to keep the peace.
Will he know when to leave, or stay late and make a nuisance of himself?
He’d be one of the first to leave.
The Hero’s Stressed Out Side
How does the hero handle it if the cops or some other authority figure pulls him aside when he was blameless in a situation?
He is a police officer so provided it’s not his senior Constable pulling him aside, he would be fine.
How does the hero react to hearing a scream?
It would trigger his protective instinct and he’d run to see if he could help.
If he sees someone being assaulted, what is the FIRST thing that crosses his mind?
To risk life and limb to save them.
If he sees someone being assaulted, what is the FIRST thing he does?
He’s not much of a fighter, but he’d swing enough punches until the aggressor was distracted.
This hero attempts to rescue someone and realizes that he is in over his head. The odds are against him and there is no way out. He is going to get his butt handed to him. What does he do?
He fights until the victim has found there way to safety no matter the cost.
The hero runs into the one person from his past he wanted to avoid. He can’t get out of the situation and must interact in some way. What does he do?
He’s very aloof and short in his respnses and leaves as soon as he’s able.
Someone younger than the hero is in charge of the situation, and they are handling it badly, perhaps bungling things. How does the hero deal with it?
Seamus would try to give advice and steer them in the right direction.
The hero is in physical pain but must bear up under it and keep going. What does he tell himself in order to get through the situation?
He’d remind himself of his duty and the price so many of his kinsmen had paid for his freedom.
What mentor’s words come to mind in a bad situation?
He’s quoted in the book as telling one character to “remember the brave man you once were.”
What lesson from his past gets him through a stressful situation?
Seamus has lost his family and he is constantly reminded of the sacrifice they made so he could start a new life in Australia.
What one thing would you like readers to know about your hero?
Seamus is loosely based on my Great Grandfather who was a policeman both in Ireland and when he migrated to Australia during the same time Carnal Transgression is set.

Read the #RomanticSuspense #DarkEnergy by Addison Brae @AddisonBrae1 #RLFblog #NewAdult
The more powerful your enemies, the more friends you need. Will Gillian sacrifice her life to keep a promise? Dark Energy, a thrilling romantic suspense story of love and surviving evil by Addison Brae, is dedicated to anyone whose livelihood depends on the bar, service industry, or music scenes.Addison, welcome to Romance Lives Forever. I’m Kayelle Allen, author and owner of this blog. Happy to have you here! Please tell us about Dark Energy.
Dark Energy by Addison Brae
Genre: Romantic Suspense
Book heat level (based on movie ratings): R
Cybercrime doesn’t talk. It creeps in and destroys lives right under Gillian’s nose when a cryptojacking scheme lands her boss, Pinkie, in jail. Gillian had just started over with a new career, boyfriend, and confidence after escaping a vicious murder investigation that shattered her ability to trust. Then Pinkie’s arrest leaves her struggling to run his two bars while also unraveling the conspiracy.
Gillian will not let her mentor and friend go down for something he didn’t do. Neither will Jon, the most talented musician on the bar’s stage and the perfect boyfriend…until his good fortune sends her reeling. Gillian forces herself to trust the cops, people who hurt her, and known criminals. Will it be enough to free Pinkie and save her life?
What’s in your character’s pockets, backpack, or purse?
Does your character carry money and if so, in what form (cash, credit, etc.)?
Gillian was a new college grad in a new city, so money was tight. She lived paycheck to paycheck until she picked up a part time bartending job. She stashed tips in a box in her closet as her emergency fund. Then she started carrying cryptocurrency because, as an accountant, she learned it was safer than the cash she earned from tips or credit cards. As those who have read Dark Energy know, she found out digital money is almost as easy to steal, and criminals can steal more at a time. And those thieves are completely anonymous.
Is there an item your character carries for good luck and if so, what is it?
Gillian always carries her Harvard bottle opener. She’s carried the brushed chrome bar key with the crimson Harvard shield since the day she received it from her best college friend after she got the job as a part-time job as a bartender. It makes her think of Lauren and the incredible times they had during three-and-a-half college years together With the opener, Lauren is with her all those late nights at work. The opener is still in her back pocket or in the pen holder on her desk even though she manages the bar now. It helps her slip right back into bartender mode when needed.
What does your character dislike carrying but has to?
Gillian started carrying a Kel-Tec P-11 subcompact 9mm pistol in her purse soon after her fresh start. She doesn’t like to, but she does out of necessity; so she’s prepared. She’s licensed to carry and trained well to use it.
What else besides pockets does the character use to carry things?
Gillian’s favorite purse is the one her mother gave her for her eleventh birthday, the last birthday before her mother lost her cancer battle. She carried it, with the cash she had to live on until she got paid, her ID and credit card, and proof she took her CPA exam inside, when she finally was brave enough to walk to the neighborhood pub alone. A guy who looked barely old enough to drive yanked it off her shoulder. She chased the kid until a well-dressed man jumped out of a shiny SUV and shoved the thief into the shrubs. The kid bolted. The man handed Gillian her purse, bowed like a nineteenth century prince, and stepped back into his truck. This was the first encounter of a unique relationship that lasted longer than the man’s life.
Has anything in your character’s pockets ever saved the day?
Indeed. Gillian walked into the middle of a Russian mobster ambushing Pinkie, her boss and mentor, in the bar’s kitchen. One of the mobster’s guys shot their security guard and knocked out Pinkie. Gillian was out front so they didn’t know she was there. Gillian showed her badassery to save them. You would definitely want her walking in that dark alley with you.
Questions for the Character to Answer About the Author
What does your author dislike carrying but has to?
These days, it’s her bag-o-masks. I hope she can stop carrying those soon. No masks would mean restaurants and bars will stay open so we can make a living again, and employees and patrons will be safe!
What does your author carry for luck?
Addison carries her car and house keys on a silver metal open heart-shaped keychain that she’s had since she started driving in high school. It’s bent a little, but aren’t we all?
What does your author prefer to use when it comes to items like backpacks / purses?
A messenger-style bag is best. The smaller the better, although she says a wallet is a little too small to carry her favorite lip stain, keys, phone, grocery list, and credit cards.
If your author could buy an item to carry things in and money was no object, what would it be?
She likes any unique and cute purse but doesn’t see the value in spending zillions on them because she doesn’t change out her purses very often. She’d rather spend that money on shoes.

Find out what Calla from Calla’s Summer Fantasy wears to bed. Amber Daulton “bares” all @AmberDaulton1 #RLFblog #ContemporaryRomance
Two men. One date. What’s a girl to do? Calla’s Summer Fantasy is about to come true. A contemporary romance by Amber Daulton.Amber, welcome to Romance Lives Forever. I’m Kayelle Allen, author and owner of this blog. Happy to have you here! Please tell us about Calla’s Summer Fantasy.
Calla’s Summer Fantasy by Amber Daulton
Genre: Erotic Romance
Book heat level (based on movie ratings): NC-17
Calla Lansky needs help at playing the field.
She scheduled two dates for the same night at her favorite seafood restaurant, and she owes her shocked boyfriends an explanation. To her surprise, Nathan Risley and Sam Tomlin handle the awkward situation like pros and happily agree to her ultimate fantasy: a ménage à trois.
After the hottest night of her life, Calla faces the ultimate decision.
Should she commit to the one man who secretly loved her all along, or keep her options open and indulge in her summer fantasy again and again?
Let’s bare it all and chat about what to wear
First, what is your name and how old are you?
Call me Calla, and I’m twenty-eight years old.
What is the time period in which you live?
It’s modern day. I live in Wilmington, North Carolina, and my apartment is way too far from the beach for my liking. God, I hate battling traffic just to splash in the water and roll around in the sand, but hey, a girl’s gotta sunbathe.
Considering the role you play in society, what is expected for you to wear?
I’m a bookkeeper at a law office, so I have more plaid and pencil skirts than I care to admit. And all the mauve and beige high-neck blouses—yuck. I mean, I know I have to look the part and dress professionally, but I would love to wear bright, flashy red to work just once—just once, mind you—but then I’d get chewed out by my boss, so nope. Not gonna happen. I’ve worked too hard to throw it away on some workplace fashion faux pas.
Ever required to wear something you don’t like? Tell us about it.
Well, it’s not like I don’t think some of my work clothes are pretty, but I’m so tired of them. On the weekends, though, is when I can finally cut loose and dress in wild colors and low necklines.
Do you make your own clothing?
Oh, I wish. My cousin, Melba, is the seamstress in the family.
When you wear something different, who’s the first person who notices?
Nathan. He’s always so attentive and respectful, unless we’re behind closed doors and he’s pulling my hair, but I digress.
Tell us your favorite thing to wear.
Colorful, flirty summer dresses. I love how the skirts sway and swish as I walk. I feel so feminine.
What kind of shoes or boots do you wear?
Sandals with rhinestone studs are to my go-to footwear for casual outings, but I love high heels and cute little suede boot-boots.
What do you wear to sleep?
If I’m sleeping alone, I’ll wear a T-shirt and be comfortable. If I’m with Nathan or Sam, it’s a toss-up. I’m either in my birthday suit or some flimsy scrap of lace or silk that might be ripped by morning. I never know with my guys.

Know the Hero from The Cinderella Curse by Dee S Knight @DeeSKnight #RLFblog #Romance #FairyTale #Contemporary
An erotic version of Cinderella, with a special Dee S Knight twist! A worldly Prince, a naïve Cindy, and an unassuming fairy godfather come together in a magical HEA ending.
Dee, welcome to Romance Lives Forever. I’m Kayelle Allen, author and owner of this blog. Happy to have you here! Thanks for sharing two tips with us today, but first, please tell us about The Cinderella Curse.
The Cinderella Curse by Dee S Knight
Genre Contemporary erotic romance
Book heat level (based on movie ratings): R
One evening, in a land far away, a wife spins a story for the amusement of her husband. Like the original tale, this contemporary Cinderella is definitely for those who love romance and a HEA. However, she adds a few touches of the erotic. For her husband, you understand.
In this tale, Charlotte dreams of her prince, James, but learns about beauty and love from her fairy godfather, Cooper. She might not lose a glass slipper, but her heart is in danger of being left behind. One thing for sure, by the time our Charlotte arrives at the ball, she’d sure like to know which man is her real Prince Charming.
Know the Hero from The Cinderella Curse
Here are some fun questions to help us know your hero.
It’s late, he’s bored. What does he do?
Cooper is a photographer and therefore he’s never bored. His mind is always looking at the world through a new lense and thus a new perspective. If he’s not taking photos, he’s examining and evaluating them, either for work or pleasure.
What kind of food would he impulse buy if hungry?
He has the joy of high metabolism and preferring almost any kind of food. He might pick up a candy bar for a burst of energy but he’s more likely to look for a protein bar or trail mix.
Describe the kind of clothes he prefers to wear.
Definitely comfortable because he’s often clambering over rocks or even up trees to get the best shot. Cargo pants work since they have lots of pockets. For dressy he rarely goes beyond khakis and a sports jacket over solid-colored tee.
Does he know how to fix things?
Oh yes. He has to be able to tweak cameras since he’s not always near a camera shop. He can fix simple things on a car and in the house, but he doesn’t do much beyond handyman-type items.
He tried to do something and it went badly. Tell us about it.
Cooper is really more a beta hero than an alpha. He was engaged once upon a time. She left him for another man and he make quite the effort to act like he got past the hurt. He pretended to be friends with her, though she’d broken his heart. In the end, he might have made the girl feel better but he never ranted and raved so it delayed the healing. (He’s such a nice guy—I think a favorite hero of mine.)
How does he act around children he doesn’t know?
He’s great with kids and they inevitably like him. Some day he’ll make a wonderful father.
What is he like first thing in the morning?
He’s even-keeled in the morning—as he is most of the time. He doesn’t jump out of bed ready to attack the day but he’s not a grump, either.
Can he use chopsticks?
Yes, but he doesn’t use them to show off. If he thinks his use would make his dining companions feel weird, he’s happy using a fork.
Does he drink coffee? If so, how does he take it? If not, what does he drink instead?
Black coffee
What apps would he have on his phone?
The app for the magazine where he works, one or two for his favorite museums—you can’t study art color and composition too much—a couple for his favorite photography supply places. Of yes, and a news app.
Android or iPhone?
iPhone
Beard or clean-shaven?
Clean-shaven. He tried a beard once but couldn’t get past the itchy in-between stage.
Earrings/piercings/tattoos or unadorned skin?
No piercings or tattoos. If Charlotte breaks his heart, he might be upset enough to get a tattoo.
Personal vehicle or public transport?
Personal vehicle. He has to be in the field too much to use public transit.
Recycle or toss?
Truthfully, he usually tosses. But when he thinks of it, he doesn’t mind recycling.
Thanks for helping us get to know your hero!

Dee S Knight Social Media
A few years ago, Dee S Knight began writing, making getting up in the morning fun. 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.
After a while, Dee split her personality into thirds. She writes as Anne Krist for sweeter romances, and Jenna Stewart for ménage and shifter stories. All three of her personas are found on the Nomad Authors website. And all three offer some of the best romance you can find! Also, once a month, look for Dee’s Charity Sunday blog posts, where your comment can support a selected charity.
