    Read the series: RomanticMoments by Kate Hill @katehillromance #RLFblog #shortromanceIn Kate Hill’s new vampire romance, love brought Adrian and Anna together, but a lie from a jealous enemy drove them apart.

    Kate, 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 series.

    Through My Heart in the Romantic Moments Series

    Genre Vampire Romance

    Book heat level (based on movie ratings): R/Adult

    Adrian – I am a vampire whose physical ugliness intensified with my immortality. For centuries I hunted alone, disguising myself from prey, preferring illusions to brutal attacks. Others of my kind spurned me. Some tried to destroy me, and on them I unleashed my wrath. I suffered the agony of eternal loneliness, and then I met Anna.

    Anna – My life was almost unbearable until a tall, black-haired stranger with fiery eyes and needle sharp teeth drank my blood and swept me into an unimaginable world. From the night we met, I gave Adrian my heart, but a lie spun by a jealous enemy drove us apart. I swore I would never give him the chance to hurt me again, but denying my love for him was harder than I thought.

    Note: Through My Heart is a very short horror romance featuring vampiric love. It has a spicy heat level, violence, and a HEA. This Romantic Moments story is the perfect length for a lunch break, before bed, or any time you want a quick, romantic read.

    Which book is this in the series?

    Through My Heart is book 3 in the Romantic Moments series. Like all stories in the series, it can be read as a stand alone.

    How many books do you plan for the series?

    This is an ongoing series, and I have at least 3 more stories planned for it.

    How many books are completed?

    At the time of this interview 3 books are completed.

    What characters are the main stars in your series?

    The characters in the series are not necessarily related. What ties them together is that they’re all short stories and have a HEA or a happy for now.

    What is the overall theme in this series?

    Romance with a happy ending for the main couple. No cliffhangers, at least as far as a happily ever after or a happy for now.

    So far, all the stories in the series have been paranormal romance or romantic horror, but other subgenres may happen in the future!

    Please list the series titles below, in any order you prefer.

    Tia of the Moon
    Caleb
    Through My Heart

    What did you like best about writing this series?

    I like the freedom of exploring any subgenre of romance and also writing short stories. One of my favorite things to do on a lunch break is read or listen to a story that’s short enough to finish during the break. I hate to go back to work not knowing how a story ends. I love the idea of a series written just for that purpose—a short romantic story when you need to take a break from reality.

    What other books (not in this series, have you written?)

    I have several indie titles available, including the Silver Hearts Series, Warrior Priest, Country Whispers, St. Augustine’s Silhouettes, and Angela’s Kiss. I also have many titles with Changeling Press, including books set in my Pandemonium Universe. Most of my books have paranormal, science fiction, or fantasy elements. Some of my Changeling Press titles are written under the pen name Saloni Quinby.

    Read the series: The Accidental Billionaire Cowboys by Kris Bock @Kris_Bock #RLFblog #SweetRomance #RomanceWho wouldn’t want to be a billionaire? In Kris Bock’s Accidental Billionaire Cowboys series, a Texas ranching family learns that winning the lottery causes as many problems as it solves.

    Kris, 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 series.

    The Accidental Billionaire Cowboys Series

    Genre Sweet contemporary romance
    Book heat level (based on movie ratings): G

    When a Texas ranching family wins a billion-dollar lottery, they’re overwhelmed. The standard advice is to go into hiding, but how can they when they have animals needing care? They’ll have to stay and fend off envious friends, scammers, and fortune hunters. Can these four cowboy brothers and their widowed mother build new dreams and find love amidst the chaos?

    “I really enjoy this series. It is well written and the characters are very likable.” – BookBub Review

    “I love returning to this little Texas town and the Tomlinson family. It’s like reconnecting with old friends. This is such a fun book series.” – BookBub Review

    How many books do you plan for the series?

    This five-book series features the four Tomlinson brothers, and their mother gets her new love story in the final book. I loved being able to write a new romance for a woman about to turn sixty!

    How many books are completed?

    All five books are written. The first four are out, and book 5 comes out November 7.

    What characters are the main stars in your series?

    The Tomlinson’s are a Texas ranching family in Last Stand, which is a fictional small town created by Tule Publishing, where many authors have set their series. Ava is a widow whose husband died a decade ago, and her four sons are ages 25 to 32. Three of the brothers still live on the ranch with their mother, struggling to keep things running.

    The oldest, Josh, wants to run things the traditional way his father did and just wishes he had enough money to pay the bills and fix the barn roof. Goofy and exuberant TC wants to experiment with alternative livestock such as ostriches and llamas. Bad boy Cody left town to become a crop duster after an accident destroyed his dreams of becoming a fighter pilot. Socially awkward Xander handles the family finances and cares for all of the smaller animals, such as rabbits and chickens, as well as any sick or injured creature.

    Then of course you have all the love interests! They include old friends (tough lawyer Carly and prickly high school theater teacher Mallory) and newcomers (Hallie, who retreated to her aunt’s wild animal rescue to recover from an attack; pregnant Daisy, who ran away from her wedding; and geologist North who thinks he’s only in town for a month). The members of Ava’s meddling knitting group are other ongoing characters. That’s probably enough for now though!

    What is the overall theme in this series?

    Most of us would be happy to try being super rich, but the winners of huge lotteries don’t always have happy endings. This series looks at some of the challenges, such as not knowing whether people are interested in you for yourself or your money. It also asks the question, What would you do if you could do anything? My hope is that readers will start thinking about what’s really important to them and whether they can shift their lives toward those goals now, even if they’re not billionaires.

    Please list the series titles below, in any order you prefer.

    The Billionaire Cowboy’s Christmas
    Charming the Billionaire Cowboy
    The Billionaire Cowboy’s Proposition
    A Baby for the Billionaire Cowboy
    The Billionaire Cowgirl’s Christmas – out Nov 7

    What did you like best about writing this series?

    I’m actually not drawn to writing about – or even reading about – either cowboys or billionaires. But I had this idea, and the publisher wanted more cowboys series … It turned out to be really fun to put my own spin on the character stereotypes and tropes and write about these sweet, hard-working characters. Plus I got to write about pregnant cattle, ranch dogs, kittens, llamas, ostriches, and even cougars and bears at the local wild animal rescue. If you’re feeling down, search for videos of baby llamas or ostriches for a happiness boost!

    What other books (not in this series, have you written?)

    My Furrever Friends Sweet Romance series features the employees and customers at a cat café. Watch as they fall in love with each other and shelter cats. In The Accidental Detective humorous mystery series, a witty journalist solves mysteries in Arizona and tackles the challenges of turning fifty. Plus I write romantic suspense stories of treasure hunting, archaeology, and intrigue in the Southwest.

    I also writes a series with my brother, scriptwriter Douglas J Eboch, who wrote the original screenplay for the movie Sweet Home Alabama. The Felony Melanie series follows the crazy antics of Melanie, Jake, and their friends a decade before the events of the movie.

    Love Without Reservations: A Grumpy/Sunshine Gay Romance in the Shopping for Love in Cataluma

    Genre contemporary small-town romance
    Book heat level (based on movie ratings): adult

    Noel

    I’ve tracked down my wayward sister to Cataluma, California, and my goal is to drag her back to Canada before she gets in trouble with the American authorities. The problem? She’s gone and fallen in love with some dude and refuses to come home. I need to stick around to talk some sense into her, but there’s only one damned inn in this podunk town and they insist they’re full. I can’t get the handsome innkeeper to make an exception, not even for the few days I’ll need to get Kendra safely headed back across the border.

    Aaron

    I love my job as the owner of the quaint Cataluma Inn. I also pride myself in being a peacemaker. When I find squawking siblings arguing about a good friend of mine at our traditional barbecue, I have to step in. Next thing I know, I’m offering to share my one-bedroom apartment with a very attractive Canadian. Oh, and he’s gay too…

    Love Without Reservations is s story in the Shopping for Love in Cataluma series. The book is a 38k word small-town gay interracial romance novella with a grumpy Canadian entrepreneur, a sunshine American motorcycle rider, and the love they never saw coming.

    Which book is this in the series?

    Love Without Reservations is the last book in the multi-author series, Shopping for Love in Cataluma.

    How many books do you plan for the series?

    As a group of romance authors, we planned for the six books as a complete series.

    How many books are completed?

    All six are now published.

    What characters are the main stars in your series?

    Each book features a different couple.  The books range from sweet through to steamy.  My book is the only gay romance.

    What is the overall theme in this series?

    Cataluma is a fictional town in California.  As a group of authors, we tend to write small-town romances.  We have second chance, enemies to lovers, grumpy/sunshine…we’ve tried a bunch of tropes for this series.

    Please list the series titles below, in any order you prefer.

    Inking the Deal by Roxie Clarke (Sweet Cataluma)
    Something of Note by Jeanine Lauren (Sweet Cataluma)
    Entangled in Love by Katrina Litwin (Sweet Cataluma)
    Book, Line, & Tinker by MaryAnn Clarke (Steamy Cataluma)
    High on Love by Gabbi Powell (Steamy Cataluma)
    Love Without Reservations (Steamy Cataluma)

    What did you like best about writing this series?

    I’ve done several shared world books before.  Writing is such a solitary pursuit that any time I can inject a bit of comradery, I leap at the chance.  I belong to a marketing group where we share tips, tricks, ideas, and are generally super supportive of each other.  I don’t even remember who made the suggestion, but about a year ago we started talking about doing a project together.  Twelve months later, we managed to publish all six books.

    What other books (not in this series, have you written?)

    Wow, I’ll keep it quick.  For the shared world Single Dads of Gaynor Beach series, I wrote Hugh as well as Anthony.  My third book in the series, Xavier, is coming out in September.  In my own series, Love in Mission City, I’ve written, Ginger Snapping All the Way, Stanley’s Christmas Redemption, Page Against the Machine, and several others including the free short story Marcus’s Cadence.

    Read the series: Earth and Sky Series by Janina Grey @janina_grey #RLFblog #ContemporaryRomance #PaganRomance #WitchLit

    Life is for Living in the Earth and Sky Series is Book 2, following Love in the Forest, and preceding Lost in Your Rhythm, by Janina Grey. All three books (available at Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and Soul Mate Publishing, focus on the lives of staff members at Earth and Sky, a healing retreat in the Adirondack Mountains in Upstate New York. The neat paranormal twist is that the many of the people live Pagan lifestyles and consider themselves witches. By day, their lives are filled with job stresses, relationship woes, life trauma, and family dysfunction many people can relate to at some point. But after hours, they show us glimpses at what life is really like for modern day practitioners. While there isn’t any sparks flying from their fingertips or pacts with demons, they do communicate with the dead, use Tarot, follow the Wheel of the Year, and devote their lives to Goddess.

    Janina 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 series.

    Earth and Sky Series by Janina Grey

    Genre Contemporary Romance, Paranormal
    Book heat level (based on movie ratings): R

    Single mom Jayde MacMillan does not need the headache of another man in her life, as she devotes her every breath for caring for her two toddler twins, and working full time to give them a stable and happy home.

    Daniel Cameron is a free-spirited lover of all things beautiful—including women. He’s perfectly content with drumming around a fire and winding his way barefoot through the forests of upstate New York.

    Neither expected to see each other again after a wild and passionate night of lovemaking at a local spring festival. A chance encounter and two precocious toddlers four years later says Fate has other plans for Jayde and Dan.

    Some one-night stands are meant to last forever.

    Which book is this in the series?

    Life is for Living is Book 2 of the Earth and Sky series.

    How many books do you plan for the series?

    I planned on stopping at three books, but suddenly a mysterious cowboy named Brose Morgan joined the brand new Earth and Sky Equine therapy team. He and I are still getting to know one another. At this point I’ve only planned three, but who knows what the future holds?

    How many books are completed?

    My third book, Lost In Your Rhythm, is set to be released on May 17, 2023. So all three books are finished!

    What characters are the main stars in your series?

    In Love In The Forest, Book1, Brooke Meadows, the camp photographer for Earth and Sky Retreats meets Joshua Quinn, struggling to come to terms with the death of his wife and daughters a few years earlier. A photographer by day and witch by night, Brooke is affectionately known as a death walker, and soon learns Joshua’s dead wife is trying to set them up.

    In Book 2, Life Is For Living, Barefoot Dan, the lovable Pagan drummer sworn to bachelorhood we meet in Book 1, discovers the one night stand who broke his heart at a Beltaine, May Day festival four years earlier, is the mother of his children. Can he win Jayde’s trust? Does he even want to?

    Jayde would be just fine without Dan, and does everything in her power to keep him out of her life.

    In Lost In Your Rhythm, Book 3, Liza Purkypile, the new Earth and Sky camp photographer and recent cancer survivor is determined to find her independence and success in Demilune, where her new job is located. Jack Issa, a local music shop owner who has escaped his past and taking a time out from life to heal mentally, emotionally, and physically, meets Liza and decides this is the woman he wants to grow old with. Not knowing how much time she has left, Liza realizes cancer was an easy battle compared to the war waging within her heart.

    What is the overall theme in this series?

    The overall theme of the series is to show how Paganism is real, and witches do not shoot fire from their fingertips, have drug-induced orgies, or make pacts with the devil. They live, work, and play like everyone else as they search for their very own happily ever after.

    Please list the series titles below, in any order you prefer.

    Lost In Your Rhythm, Book 3, release date May 17.
    Life Is For Living, Book 2, And,
    Love In The Forest, Book 1.

    What did you like best about writing this series?

    I loved how the characters told their stories through me. It was as if they were dictating and all I had to do was make sure I got it right. They became a part of my life for the last three years, kept me company through the pandemic, and even helped me face a few of my own inner demons.

    What other books (not in this series, have you written?)

    I’ve written and published one other book with Soul Mate Publishing, Ten Bucks And A Wish, which was my first ever romance published. That takes place on Long Island, NY and is totally different from the Earth and Sky Series. No witches.

Journaling, short stories, poetry, newsletters, news, feature, columns, Op/Eds, and press releases have kept her busy her whole life.

    By day, Janina guides domestic and sexual assault survivors down their path of healing and empowerment. But in the wee hours of the morning, she hunkers down at her childhood writing desk with Imagine Dragons, Coldplay, Elton John, Fleetwood Mac, or Led Zep streaming through her earbuds while she brings to life her characters as they face their real-life sorrows and successes, and best of all, their happily-ever-afters.
    Growing up on Long Island and living periodically in Tennessee as a youth has given her the opportunity to meet many different types of people and experience many different lifestyles. After moving from Long Island to settle in the Mohawk Valley in Upstate New York with her family, she found the support needed to pursue her writing endeavors with Central New York Romance Writers and Romance Writers of America.

    Secrets of the Dead

    From Book 1: Jessica Coltrane is a diehard sceptic who believes ghosts and paranormal activity are nothing more than a figment of an overactive imagination. That is until she finds herself locked inside a haunted house with the enigmatic paranormal investigator C.J. Dowling. Born with the ability to see and speak to the dead, C.J. Dowling thought investigating a haunted house would be a job like many others. He’s prepared for anything—except smart and sexy Jessica. Working together in close quarters, C.J. and Jessica discover it isn’t only negative tension between them but sexual as well. Giving in to their desires seems like a good idea until they wake and find the spirits thought otherwise. They are trapped with the ghost of a child long forgotten, an amorous entity threatening Jessica, and a powder keg of a spine-tingling mystery that might just be better left buried.

    Innocence of the Dead

    Samantha Dowling sees ghosts. As much as she hates her gift, she can’t ignore the spirit of a murdered young girl who haunts her dreams. As she digs into the death, she learns she’s not the only missing child in the city. And no one seems to be doing anything about it. Running into the very sexy Ethan Montgomery at his bookstore where she’d doing her research adds a whole new element to the mix. From the first moment Ethan Montgomery sees Sam, he knows she’s meant to be his. Unfortunately, his soon-to-be ex-wife Gwen is determined to bring Ethan down any way she can, and his attraction to Sam is an opening she won’t pass up. Despite her interference, Sam and Ethan’s romance blossoms. In secret. But sneaking around isn’t as easy as they thought when others discover their relationship. And when Sam learns the identity of the murderer, it puts her in their crosshairs. Unless Ethan can get to her in time, their romance will have a deadly end.

    Read the series: Nick and Jacklyn by Ann Raina #RLFblog #Romance #ThrillerThe attempted murder of a famous hockey player sparks the FBI investigation in Ann Raina’s new thriller, Sudden Death. When two players are killed, Agent Hayes and his team are running

    It’s the ninth book in the series, with more to come.

    Ann, 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 series.

    Sudden Death in the series with Nick & Jacklyn

    Genre thriller / erotic romance / BDSM

    Book heat level (based on movie ratings): R

    As the kidnapper pulled him forward again, Anderson feared he would stumble and break his neck. He tried to figure out the man’s motivation. Was he a fan gone mad? A total nutcase who had accidentally chosen Ginger and himself as his daily victims? Or was it no accident?

    Anderson Wright just wants to play hockey, but a criminal kidnaps and tries to kill him while he’s vacationing with his girlfriend in the Monongahela Forest National Park. He survives due to FBI Agent Nicolas Hayes’s courageous actions that save his life. The motive and the resources of the attempted murder remain a mystery.

    While the team of FBI agents investigate, three young and talented hockey players are brutally killed, just as they were on the cusp of starting great careers. Public pressure on the agents mounts as all hockey players and their crews fear that the killer will strike again. Still, the murderer leaves the crime scenes without tangible clues to his identity.

    On a private level, Nicolas faces his mistress’s growing demands for their love life and has to decide whether to follow her kinky wishes or deny her desires.

    Which book is this in the series?

    It’s the ninth book in the series.

    How many books do you plan for the series?

    My muse asked me for at least twelve books, and I plan to fulfill her wishes.

    How many books are completed?

    I’ve just completed the eleventh story, introducing a new FBI agent and his family background.

    What characters are the main stars in your series?

    There’s FBI Agent Nicolas Hayes and his demanding lover, Jacklyn Hollander. They’re living in a loving D/s relationship so their playtime in part of the story. Then there are other agents on the FBI team, such as Jason Beckham, Nicolas’s partner and also his best friend. Another important character is the quite unusual Agent Matthew Montagna, who’s always good for a prank, a man with a very optimistic and humorous look at the world.

    What is the overall theme in this series?

    The FBI agents are working in the violent crime unit, which means they’re dealing with serial killers, brutal bank robbers, and other hardcore criminals. The team sets out to investigate and bring the criminals to justice. In their private lives, the agents try to make ends meet—may it be with Jacklyn’s bondage games to play or Matthew’s search for a new lover. Jason has just become a father and has completely different problems…

    Please list the series titles below, in any order you prefer.

    The books work best in the correct order of release. Though they’re standalone novels, they follow a timeline.
    Twisted Mind
    Famous Murders
    Blind Trust
    Chosen Brothers
    Cold Rage
    Barred Doors
    Ruined Vacation
    Clandestine Dealings
    Sudden Death

    What did you like best about writing this series?

    Developing the characters. When my muse and I started out, we loved Nicolas and Jacklyn so much (and their interaction with the FBI buddies and other friends they share) that we continued with book #2 right away. There are many crime stories to tell, but there’s always room to let the characters grow, find their way, make friends or enemies… It’s fascinating to see their love deepen even though they live through stressful times.

    What other books (not in this series, have you written?)

    I wrote several Science Fiction stories and a second thriller / erotic romance series, that one dealing with Diplomatic Service bodyguard Ethan Mahoney, his wife, and his team that protects the Secretary of State both on domestic and international travels.
