Read Waiting for the Son by Trevann Rogers @trevannrogers #RLFblog #WriteLGBTQ #UrbanFantasy
Chaos on the order of Genocide hangs in the balance in Trevann Roger’s new LGBTQ urban fantasy romance, Waiting for the Son.
Trevann, welcome to Romance Lives Forever. I’m Kayelle Allen, author and owner of this blog. Happy to have you here! Please tell us about Waiting for the Son.
Waiting for the Son by Trevann Rogers
Genre: LGBTQ Urban Fantasy Romance
Book heat level (based on movie ratings): RLiving After Midnight Series, Book 3
Cheyenne, the half-human son of the Monarch, is getting beaten up on the regular. He’s also fighting with his weretiger boyfriend, holding down his gig in the city’s premier nightclub, and taking care of his kids. Adulting is more complicated than he thought it would be.
Someone close to the Monarch is putting the supernatural races at risk. With everyone in his inner circle under suspicion, he asks his son for help unearthing the traitor.
Cheyenne declines. He doesn’t have the bandwidth, and politics is not his thing.
When his father’s troubles escalate, Cheyenne has no choice but to get involved. If he succeeds, the traitor will be exposed. If he fails, his father will die, and the backstabber will be free to lift the veil of secrecy that protects them all.
Waiting for the Son is the third book in the LGBTQ urban fantasy series Living After Midnight.
Warning: This book features quirky supernatural creatures, a luncheon that makes an orgy look like a made-for-TV movie and an incubus who makes you hope what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas.

Collision Course by Jami Gray
Genre Urban Fantasy
Book heat level (based on movie ratings) RWhen the Arcane Guild requests a last-minute delivery run from Transporter, Rory Costas, she figures earning some extra cash is better than spending her evening binging another DIY show or dodging the pesky Chipmunk Mafia.

With her business picking up speed, the last thing she expected was to have a formidable member of the Arcane Council drag her into an informal investigation of a horrific accident. Now, with the sexy and intimidating Arbiter, Zev Aslanov, riding shotgun, she’ll have to wade through a mix-bag of money woes, broken hearts, and a legacy of cursed treasure to uncover the truth of what drove a romantic celebration to veer into tragedy.
In her race to expose the vindictive heart at the center of the Family drama, can Rory avoid the inevitable collision with one of the Arcane’s most notorious mages?

Get the inside scoop on the dark hero from A Devilish Saturnalia by Alexa Piper @ProwlingPiper #RLFblog #MMRomance
Lionel and his lover are spending Midwinter in Scotland, and what should be a few quiet days with their found family for the Devil and his necromancer turns into a wild goose chase (literally) and a murder mystery (not literally) in A Devilish Saturnalia, a fluffy novella set right after the events in The Devil’s Saturnalia.
Alexa, welcome to Romance Lives Forever. I’m Kayelle Allen, author and owner of this blog. Happy to have you here! Please tell us about A Devilish Saturnalia.
A Devilish Saturnalia by Alexa Piper
Genre MM urban fantasy romance
Book heat level (based on movie ratings): RLionel and Lucifer are spending the holidays in Scotland. They are set to enjoy a quiet Midwinter, and Lionel is looking forward to spending this time with his found family, although having a family is still new for him.
Lucifer’s goals for this holiday season are simple: convince his necromancer to willingly stay in bed with Lucifer, but of course, that is just a fantasy. Lucifer knows it’s not what his necromancer needs, and the cruel side of love is that even the Devil has to put his lover first.
Snowed in, will these two and those who love them find something to do to pass the longest night of the year? In this sweet and cozy read, you will find out.
This books is not a standalone. The events in A Devilish Saturnalia take place right after The Devil’s Saturnalia.
Warning: This m/m romance contains sexual content only suitable for mature audiences.
Insider Information about Lucifer
Welcome! We’d like to know more about you. Please add info you’re comfortable sharing.
Nickname: The most handsome of them all, Best Boyfriend Ever, The Devil with the best hair.
Age: Compared to Tiamat, I’m a spring chicken.
Gender: I like all genders equally.
Birthplace: Puny human minds do not understand the geography of the otherrealms.
Profession: Necromancer Minder, Ph.D.
Please provide a physical description of yourself.
Sexy, but monogamous. And like we all know, monogamy makes you hotter, which explains why my boyfriend is so obsessed with me.
What are your pronouns?
I’ll take all of them, please, extra rainbow sprinkles.
How well does your name fit your personality?
You see, I’ve been going by Lucy ever since I first read the literary gem that is Dracula. Lucy Westenra was so far ahead of her time! She had the opportunity to embark upon a reverse harem journey never before seen in literature, but she gave it all up in order to maintain her beauty and discerning charm for all the rest of time, along with some badass butt-kicking abilities.
I am the Devil. I have the best hair, and my magic is perfect. Before I fully bloomed–before I became monogamous, that is–I dabbled in pleasing multiple people at the same time. I certainly have the looks. You should see how my Nelly stares at me when I bring out my wings!
Do you believe in love at first sight?
Oh, no. That’s a silly notion. I mean, sure, it happened to me, but that was an exception. Most people have to buy their lover flowers and take them on dates to amausement parks and all of that, but Nelly and I never needed anything as base. We were made for one another.
But no. Love at first sight is an illusion.
Do you enjoy dressing up or prefer to dress casually?
I enjoy dressing for the occasion. It doesn’t really matter what I wear or if I wear any clothes at all. I’ll always look good.
If a place where you shop installed benches in various sections, where would you sit?
I do not really do any shopping. I have Trony for that. But for the new year, I want to convince Nelly to come shopping with me. In that event, I want a bench right in front of the changing room for the anticipation. He’ll probably be too shy to come out when he’s trying on panties for me, but what is magic for if not to make a changing room curtain see-through?
Mhh. They already do have benches inside the changing rooms, don’t they? I’ll probably move there after I watched my necromancer squirm for a little bit. To help him out of the panties.
Favorites:
Smell: Nelly
Color: Golden
Taste: Nelly
Sound: Nelly makes this sound after he’s been tied up for a long while. It’s a bit hoarse, but also sweet. And then, once I allow him his release, he makes those soft little huffs–ah. No one but me will ever hear those sounds.
Texture: If I tell you, you’ll have to censor it. Rhymes with Nelly’s sock.Can you:
Swim? Of course I can swim. I can’t drown, so the skill is a bit superfluous, but it’s fun.
Use chopsticks? Do you take me for a Philistine? Of course I know to use chopsticks.
Roller skate? This sounds undignified, but I can probably make it look good.
Ski? I can, but I prefer having champaign in the hot tub to going up and down some mountain.
Fly a plane? That’s a waste of time. I have wings.
Ride a horse? Yes. I’ve even read up on how to tame wild horses.
What is your favorite book?
Other than the obvious, there’s that one with the virgin who works in a diner. The virgin always takes the night shift, and then he meets this darkly handsome assassin who initiates the virgin into the art of carnal pleasure. That reminded me so much of my Nelly, who had only been deflowered in the most technical sense when I met him. Mhh. White lace means innocence, doesn’t it? I’m very much looking forward to taking him shopping.
Who is the one person who can convince you to do something you know you shouldn’t?
Convince me? If we are talking about convincing, Trony or the dragon mother. If this is about actually getting me to do things… that’s unfortunately Nelly. For instance, I know I shouldn’t let Marc Deacon breathe another breath, but here I am being a good Devil and not shoving Marc Deacon into a bottomless hole, because I am sure Nelly would ask me about it. Interrogate me, even. And I can only distract my necromancer so much when he gets into one of his stubborn moods, you know.

Moonlight Cherries by Alexa Piper
Genre dark MM urban fantasy
Book heat level (based on movie ratings): R
“I couldn’t change that I was…attracted to a guy I’d watched getting murdered on the subway.”
Amory lives a quiet life as a waiter. The Moonlight Diner is the home he found after he was kicked out and disowned by his family for no other crime than who he loves.
Amory’s life is shaken to its very foundations after a chance meeting that has Amory witness a murder–except the man who dies in Amory’s arms doesn’t stay dead.
Far from being a ghost, Soyer is very real. He pulls Amory into a world in which magic exists and wreaks havoc on the life of unsuspecting people. But within what remains of the spell that touches both their lives, Amory and Soyer may just find love.
Warning: This m/m romance contains sexual content only suitable for mature audiences. It also contains graphic depictions of violence, past experiences of homophobia experienced in adolescence, and allusions to conversion therapy.
Let’s chat about what to eat
First, what is your name and how old are you?
Hi, and thanks for having me. I’m Amory, and I’m 27.
What is your favorite meal?
Well, in the diner where I work, Dwayne, the owner, makes this baba ganoush that’s to die for. I know that’s not a meal, technically, but it should be.
Tell us about a meal or food that says “home” to you.
I guess… you know what, until not too long ago, that would have been gnocchi, but it’s lasagna now. With tiramisu for dessert.
Growing up, who was the best cook in your family?
My mom did all the cooking. I helped sometimes, and so did my sister… that’s all been such a long time ago, you know.
If you cook, what kind of food do you like to prepare?
I’m not much of a cook, not because I don’t want to, but because I’ll end up taking food home from the diner or making something quick after my shift.
How much coffee or tea do you drink?
A normal amount of coffee, I guess? Some people I serve, they have far more than I do. There is this writer for instance. He comes into the diner late at night and still has several cups of coffee while he writes.
Who are your favorite people to share meals with?
I… I’m not sure how much I can say about him, but there is someone very special to me, and I like having dinner with him. Well, dinner for me. Technically, it’s breakfast for everyone else.

Let’s chat about what to eat
First, what is your name and how old are you?
My name? You can call me Soyer. I told you I wasn’t going to talk about anything other than food, so stop asking about my age.
What is your favorite meal?
Cherry pie.
If any, what food do you refuse to eat?
I’ve been in situations, questionable situations, where I ate some unsavory stuff. When it comes down to eating things no sane person would put on the menu, you have to decide whether starvation is worse, and I’ve chosen to starve several times in my life.
Tell us about a meal or food that says “home” to you.
I’m not telling you that either, because I’m not telling you about where I come from. Stick to the topic.
When you find yourself with some type of unknown food on your plate, what do you do?
Depends on what it is and whether I want to offend whoever invited me to eat with them.
What is the worst meal you’ve ever eaten?
You know what? That’s crossing a line again, but I’ll tell you, because you won’t be able to make any sense of it. It was cherries, not for their taste, but the for the cost of tasting them.
What is the best meal you’ve ever eaten?
Cherry pie.
If you cook, what kind of food do you like to prepare?
Fine, I’ll answer this, but it’s the last one. I don’t like to share my private life with just anyone, and you are being too nosy.
Yes, I cook, and I even do it well. I like making things that take a little while, because it means getting it right takes a minimum amount of effort and skill. You’re looking like you want an example? Of course you do. Fine. The last thing I enjoyed preparing was lasagna, and I made the pasta myself, and I think that concludes this interview. Thank you for having me.
