    Three For The Win by Keta Diablo

    Eli
    I’ve loved Hollis forever, it seems. I meant to tell her so many times but always chickened out. Then Stede rode into town on his big shiny motorcycle and saved my life. Hollis fell hard for him. I get that, what’s not to love about Stede? I watched and waited, hoped whatever they felt for one another would pass. It didn’t, and now Stede’s hot head has landed him in trouble…again.
    Hollis
    I should have known better than to fall for a bone-melting man like Stede Marrow. A man who hides everything about his past. I know Stede loves me and I know he loves Eli too, like a brother. Stede’s gone now and Eli’s here to pick up the pieces of my broken life.
    Stede
    I should have kept on riding after I saved Eli at the creek. But then I saw Hollis and forgot about that road up ahead. I wanted to tell her why I’m running and who I am. But I haven’t even told Eli. It’s safer that way. I said I’d never go back to that hick town, swore I’d forget about Hollis. I didn’t bank on her being so damn unforgettable.

    Her Gilded Prison by Beverley OakleyFree Read: Her Gilded Prison by Beverley Oakley #Historical #FreeBookFriday #RLFblog

    She was determined to secure the succession, he was in it for the pleasure. Falling in love was not part of the arrangement.
    When dashing twenty-five-year-old Stephen Cranbourne arrives at the estate he will one day inherit, it’s expected he will make a match with his beautiful second cousin, Araminta.
    But while proud, fiery Araminta and her shy, plain sister, Hetty, parade their very different charms before him, it’s their mother, Sybil, a lonely and discarded wife, who evokes first his sympathy and then stokes his lustful fires.
    As Stephen introduces Sybil to every pleasure she’s been deprived of, duty and passion become a deep and mutual love. But with the unexpected arrival of a contender to the estate, Sybil realises that what she’s set in motion to save the family might have tragic consequences.
    Her Gilded Prison is Book 1 in the Daughters of Sin series, a Regency-set ‘Dynasty’ that follows the sibling rivalry between Viscount Partington’s two nobly-born and his illegitimate daughters as they compete for love during a London Season.

    Alien Mate by Cara BristolAlien Mate by Cara Bristol #SciFi #Romance #FreeBookFriday #RLFblog

    I’m Starr Elizabeth Conner. Earth’s government falsely convicted me of a crime, packed me on a ship with other female felons, and sent us to Dakon, a primitive, frozen wasteland of a planet.
    But I’m no barbarian’s ‘mail order bride,’ even if he is super tall, muscular, and the chief of his tribe. He doesn’t want a BBW blonde, either–it’s written all over his chiseled face. He’ll be truly angry if he ever learns what my ‘crime’ was.
    I am Torg. I have waited 34 rotations for a mate of my own. With this shipment, I was sure to get a fine, sturdy mate who’ll bear me many daughters. Instead, I receive a small, curvy, pale-haired female who looks at me with anger and fear.
    It is only when we ‘kiss’ that I believe things may work out between us. But I’m hearing rumors that Starr and her shipmates are law-breakers. To survive, Dakonians must obey all laws … or be exiled into the frozen wasteland. Just when I have found my mate, will I have to banish her?

    Mated to the Pack by Jade AltersMated to the Pack by Jade Alters #PNR #FreeBookFriday #RLFblog

    Vivian was thankful for everything her wealthy Aunt left her.
    Until she found out that also meant she’s now responsible for that old run down mansion she grew up playing in.
    She would keep it, but she would go bankrupt; she would sell it, but there’s no one out there to buy it.
    That’s when four super-hot and mysterious renters show up to save the day.
    They’ve got more big secrets than she can handle though, the biggest of which might be why she’s finding herself drawn to each of them.
    Call it nature.
    Call it instinct.
    Whatever it is, this pack has found its mate, and the only question is going to be whether Viv can handle being mated to this pack.

    Lotta has a few days to get her bakery up and running, otherwise she’ll let down her best friend days before her wedding. But that means talking to an old high school crush, the cutest handyman in town. Baking bread and hanging out with her dog is much safer.
    Mitch is high and dry with a broken leg so can’t help run the family fishing business. To keep from going stir crazy he straps on his tool belt – he can still pound a few nails. His customer is the shy girl from chemistry class, now a sensual woman with a sweet smile, though she still doesn’t say much. But what Mitch has in mind doesn’t involve a lot of talking.
    While Lotta struggles to bake all the sweets, Mitch becomes interested in nibbling more than just her cookies.

    Selkie’s Seduction by Anne Kane @annekane #RLFblog #NewRelease #ParanormalRomance

    Selkie's Seduction by Anne Kane @annekane #RLFblog #NewRelease #ParanormalRomanceAnne Kane, welcome to Romance Lives Forever. I’m Kayelle Allen, author and owner of this blog. Happy to have you here! Please tell us about your book.

    Selkie’s Seduction by Anne Kane

    Paranormal Romance
    Book heat level (based on movie ratings): R
    From award winning author Anne Kane comes the tale of a sexy Druid and a sassy Selkie with a fear of commitment.
    When Nikki’s sister sends a modern day Druid to warn her about impending danger, the attraction is instant and mutual, but the Selkie is having none of Wolfe’s silly talk about destined mates. Her animal form is a free-spirited otter, and she fears the call of the wild might be too strong to allow her to settle down and raise a family. Her greatest fear is that the call of the ocean will lure her away from her family, and her children will suffer as she did when her own mother deserted her.
    But when the danger becomes all too real, Nikki’s link with the sexy Druid is her only comfort, and she realizes some risks just might be worth taking.
    Why did you write this book?
    I wanted to write a story where normal people lived side by side with the mystical. Since my family roots are in Scotland, I have always been fascinated by tales of the Druids who protected the lands and the trees so when I was looking for a hero to protect the heroine in my story, a Druid seemed like the obvious choice.
    What is your favorite genre to read?
    It depends on my mood. I usually go for paranormal romance, or science fiction. Occasionally I read suspense and mystery. I rarely read non-fiction unless I’m doing research or need it for work.
    Who is your favorite character from fiction (not including your own)?
    I think that would have to be Captian Malcolm Reynold from Serenity J
    What are you working on at the moment?
    Having just finished a book, I’m at the decision point for the next one. I’m trying to decide whether to do another book in my Cyborg series, or maybe do a lighter Christmas type story. The other option is to finish the suspense novel that I started a couple of years ago during nano. I have around 60K written on it but it’s not finished. Too many projects on the go!
    What books will we see from you in coming months?
    I just finished a contemporary Novella for Changeling Press Rooster series, called Ride ’em Cowboy. My beta readers say it’s a departure from my usual genre but they really liked it. It still has to go through edits, but I believe it is on the release schedule for mid September.

    Civility, last of the To Be Sinclair series by Eva Caye @evacaye #RLFblog #scifi #romance

    Civility, last of the To Be Sinclair series by Eva Caye @evacaye #RLFblog #scifi #romanceEva Caye, welcome to Romance Lives Forever. I’m Kayelle Allen, author and owner of this blog. Happy to have you here! Please tell us about your book.

    Civility, a science fiction romance by Eva Caye

    Genre science fiction romance
    Book heat level (based on movie ratings): R
    Captain Princess Alea Sinclair is tasked by the Emperor to be her aunt Elizabeth’s lady-in-waiting, i.e. bodyguard, on their trip to the Attican Empire to rewrite their $2 trillion treaty. Behind the scenes, health issues and a cruel commanding officer make their private lives hell while they strive to maintain their public image of competence. And their stated mission isn’t the only one; they must also find out what they can about an intelligent alien species the Atticans have found on a nearby planet.
    They act like simple pets, but due to their hypnotic mental influence, Elizabeth falls for Alea’s scorned C.O. while Alea and her two new Attican friends strive desperately to understand the wily chalates. How can Alea determine the intent and the extent of the aliens’ influence upon Elizabeth, the most brilliant social analyst and diplomat of the Sinclair Demesnes, before they ruin the renegotiation of this critical treaty?
    This is the final volume of the To Be Sinclair series. This novel contains sexual situations.
    Why did you write this book?
    I had to write at least one romance with an aging female character. Elizabeth is 57 years old and going through menopause. Her 25-year-old niece Alea is chosen as Elizabeth’s lady-in-waiting, and their assignment is to negotiate with the Attican Empire. Since it’s the finale of the series, I had to bring in several beloved secondary characters as well as try to resolve the issues between two enemy empires.
    What is your favorite genre to read?
    I love science fiction, but I also sometimes read mystical books. The two aren’t very different from each other in many cases!
    Who is your favorite character from fiction (not including your own)?
    I adore Dorothea Macdonald from Julian May’s final two books, Diamond Mask and Magnificat. I think super-intelligent people make up their own rules for ‘acceptable’ behavior, and this sweet child grows up to be classy yet doesn’t take any crap from anybody.
    What are you working on at the moment?
    I’ve been working on my prequels, but for some reason a couple of short stories are pestering me to be written. One is unrelated to the series, but the other is a character in my series that I think I’ll just put out on my blog as a free read someday.
    What books will we see from you in coming months?
    First, I need to get Embracing the Goddess out. It was the first book I wrote and it’s been sitting around for several years, now, waiting on me to fine-tune it. Then, I have a second prequel, Undying Dawn, and a third book in the Sinclair universe but different from those called Arrow of Fate. They’re all structured around significant developments humankind will make in the future, such as gestation chambers and new modes of communication.

    Truth and Solace by Jana Richards

    The truth could destroy them. Or set them free.
    Maggie Lindquist left Solace Lake determined never to return. Circumstances have pulled her back and she’s helping to restore her family’s dilapidated fishing lodge. When she agreed to the plan she didn’t expect to have to work side by side with the man who abandoned her ten years earlier. She didn’t expect to like him, or want him ever again. But can she trust him as she once did?
    Luke Carlsson rushes home to tend to his ailing mother. Her lengthy illness means he needs to stay, at least temporarily. And to stay, he needs to work. Solace Lake Lodge offers him a job and an opportunity to work with the woman he’s never stopped loving. But the restoration is unleashing secrets hidden for decades and no one is left unscathed. Especially not Maggie and Luke, whose love needs to be resilient enough to forgive, and strong enough to build a future together.

    Hart’s Desire by Chloe Flowers

    An independent young lady meets a bold merchant captain pursued by a band of pirates…what could possibly go wrong?
    Fiercely independent and equally impetuous Keelan Grey acts the dutiful daughter on the outside, but inside, she’s determined to avoid marriage to a cruel neighboring plantation owner even if it means taking the most desperate measures. Everything changes when a deathbed confession from a loved one plunges her into a dark plot of deception and revenge. Desperate for help, Keelan finds an unlikely ally in the antagonistic but irresistible sea captain, Landon Hart.
    Rakishly handsome and equally exasperating Landon Hart is a Freedom Runner-part of a network of people moving runaways to a new life up North. When he meets a sword-wielding, fiery-haired temptress on the way, he isn’t prepared for the impact she has on his tightly guarded heart…nor the trouble she manages to attract.

    Fiction Furbaby: Meet Eyrael from The Summoning by Linda Nightingale @LNightngale @RobsRescues #RLFblog #PetsLinda Nightingale, welcome to Romance Lives Forever. I’m Kayelle Allen, author and owner of this blog. Happy to have you here! We support all furbabies, real life or fictional. We want to know all about your Fiction Furbaby, but first, please tell us about your book.

    The Summoning by Linda Nightingale

    Genre Fantasy Romance
    Book heat level (based on movie ratings): PG13
    Heather Morique is a witch. The problem is she doesn’t know it. Her husband Jahill was a refugee from an obscure branch of the Arawak Indians. After his death, mysterious whispers lure her to his homeland of Jamaica. Soon, she finds herself in a web of secrets, lies and illusions.
    Jahill’s people worship Eyrael, the God of Wind and Sea, and his brother Sofiel, the God of Fire and Earth. The new Shaman has pitted brother against brother, and these two powerful spirits from an alternate universe fight to become the tribe’s ruling deity. Will light or darkness reign?
    When Heather unwittingly summons Eyrael, these two unlikely soul mates face a dangerous fate. The chemistry between them is more disturbing than the long-buried secrets.

    Meet Eyrael from The Summoning

    Full name: EyraelFiction Furbaby: Meet Eyrael from The Summoning by Linda Nightingale @LNightngale @RobsRescues #RLFblog #Pets
    Nickname: Eyrael
    Gender: Male
    Species: Horse
    Physical description: Large black horse with long mane and tail (Friesian)
    Relationship to main character: He is the hero
    Relationship to the villain/antagonist: Brother
    Where this furbaby came from: Another dimension

    What inspired you to create this character?
    A picture of a beautiful Friesian horse (black with long mane and tail) pictured like Pegasus with mammoth wings in flight.
    What does the main character think about this furbaby?
    The furbaby is the hero. He considers the flying horse a physical representation to his people of his deity. At first, the heroine is afraid of him but when he fights to protect her and her whisks her to safety on his beautiful black wings, she falls in love with this aspect of her rescuer, a dynamic shapeshifter.
    What does the villain/antagonist think about this furbaby?
    In this world, the Shaman has pitted brother against brother, and Sofiel, the villain, dislikes any battle with the winged horse. He has wings and he has the weight and speed to be a formidable opponent for Sofiel’s own equine form—a more agile but slenderer Arabian.
    How do other characters react to or interact with this furbaby?
    The main character, the heroine falls in love with him. His worshipers prefer this shape when he is not in human form.
    What is this furbaby’s natural habitat?
    The beach, places outside, since the shape is a horse. Although, he can navigate indoors as long as there is enough room.
    What does this furbaby add to the story?
    He is the hero, and the shape of the Friesian adds the charm of the horse. Most people are drawn to the horse. Even those afraid of them, see them as beautiful and powerful. Eyrael’s equine manifestation brings the heroine to trust him quicker than his natural form—a human man with long hair the color of seafoam and crystalline eyes.
    What about this furbaby will readers like, and why?
    He is a beautiful, gentle and kind in animal form as he is in human form. The Friesian which inspired the shapeshifter’s shape is a docile and stunning horse.

    For Shapeshifters

    What triggers the shift from human to animal?
    The shift is totally voluntary. In the first chapter, the choice is made because Eyrael is protecting the heroine against a dark spirit and his darker Shaman, trying to sacrifice her on a stone altar. He shifts to the shape his worshipers find most appealing in his deity.
    How does the shifting process happen?
    He pales to transparent, shimmers and reappears as the other shape/
    How does the human character think and feel about the animal side?
    Once she begins to trust Eyrael, Heather, the heroine, falls in love with his equine manifestation. She asks him again and again to shift to the horse, but in the story, he never does again because the battle and the danger have escalated to the human level requiring planning ad split-second decisions. In animal form, he thinks and feels as he would in human form.
    In what ways are the human and animal characters different in belief and needs?
    Is the shifting process part of a deeper, mystical process (i.e., moon phases, rituals, life events)?
    No, it is totally voluntary, though he and his followers worship at the full of the moon on the beach by his sea.

    Break Through the Ice by Rachell Nichole

    When Jasmine Graves is invited to the set of the movie based on her book series, she thinks all her dreams have come true. The Vince Demarco, the man she’s based her hero on for the past seven years, will be there and she can’t wait to meet him. Little does she know that she’ll have to face her worst fears to keep her leading man.
    Vince Demarco has never been as intrigued by a character or an author before being introduced to the haunted werewolf he’s been cast to play. So when he comes face to face with its creator, Jasmine Graves, he’s awestruck. But he fears an author who’s a reported recluse will want nothing to do with the paparazzi madness and crazy shooting schedule that comes with dating a movie star.
    Neither one can deny the almost animal attraction that overwhelms them at first contact. But can an author and her muse breakthrough the barriers between them, or will the heat between them turn to ice in the winter cold of the Adirondack Camp?

Not only would Marie, his wife’s sister, find out about his affair, but he wouldn’t live long enough to try to handle the scandal with Pam, his meek, trusting wife. Pam’s healing, part of which comes from forgiveness, is a rocky road of self-discovery and in the end, letting go.
