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): adultNoel
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 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.

Is It True: By Moonlight by Lisabet Sarai @LisabetSarai #RLFblog #HistoricalFFRomance #Historical #Romance
In Lisabet Sarai’s luscious, lyrical historical romance By Moonlight, Bess risks all loving a gallant outlaw – who happens to be a woman.
Welcome to Romance Lives Forever. I’m Kayelle Allen, author and owner of this blog. Let’s play Is It True with today’s guest, Lisabet Sarai. This is a game with yes and no questions. Writers can elaborate on answers as much as they choose.
By Moonlight by Lisabet Sarai
Genre: Historical FF Romance
Book heat level (based on movie ratings): NC-17I’ll come to you by moonlight – though Hell should bar the way.
In her eighteen years on earth, Bess has never traveled more than twenty miles from her Devonshire village. The raven-haired innkeeper’s daughter has little time to dream of adventure as she labors from dawn to dusk to keep her abusive father satisfied.
Then, at the weekly market in Tavistock town, she meets a handsome dandy who claims her with a single stolen kiss. When the gallant gentleman makes a midnight visit to the inn, Bess learns that her new lover is none other than Kit Latour, a notorious French highwayman who has been boldly relieving the local nobility of their valuables. Well-aware of the risk she’s taking, Bess still offers herself to the seductive outlaw. Even Kit’s darkest secrets cannot quench the flames of her love.
Is it true:
this is your first book?
Definitely not. It’s a bit hard to figure out how many books I’ve published over my twenty-two year career, at least partly because many have seen multiple editions. But I’d say it’s close to one hundred if not more.
this book is part of a series?
No
you lost sleep while writing this book?
No – though I dreamed about it.
you did research for this book?
Yes, of course. It’s historical, set in eighteenth century England, a few years before the American revolution. So I had to do research on language, clothing and culture, but even more about geography, since I’m a Yank with limited experience in Britain. Probably the most intensive research efforts involved studying what the port of Bristol was like during that period. I was fortunate to find a painting of one of the quays, which I used as a basis for my description.
some characters in this book are not human? (pets for example)
No. There’s a horse named Delilah, but I wouldn’t call her a character.
this book has more than one genre?
Yes. Well, I’ve never been sure exactly how to determine the boundaries of a genre. However, this book is a lesbian romance, historical, erotic, with a poetic edge and a bit of adventure.
you speak more than one language?
Yes. Two fluently, several more as a novice.
you grew up where you live now?
No. I live in Southeast Asia now. I grew up in New England.
you love to read?
Yes. That’s an understatement. Even now, when I’m ferociously busy with my day job, I’m usually in the middle of several books. When I was a kid, my mom had to force me to stop reading and go out to get some fresh air.
you are never late?
Hmm. Rarely, but not never. Certainly I dislike being late, and try to plan my arrivals accordingly.
you love pizza?
No. I like pizza, but wouldn’t say I love it.
you love sushi?
Yes. I don’t eat it often because I’m worried about freshness and quality, but I recently spent two weeks in Japan and ate sushi and sashimi every chance I could.
you have a pet?
Yes, two cats at the moment. I can’t imagine living without felines.

Lisabet Sarai became addicted to words at an early age. She began reading when she was four. She wrote her first story at five years old and her first poem at seven. Since then, she has written plays, tutorials, scholarly articles, marketing brochures, software specifications, self-help books, press releases, a five-hundred page dissertation, and lots of erotica and erotic romance – over one hundred titles, and counting, in nearly every sub-genre—paranormal, scifi, ménage, BDSM, LGBTQ, and more. Regardless of the genre, every one of her stories illustrates her motto: Imagination is the ultimate aphrodisiac.

In a school filled with hackers and thieves, how do you trust your heart? #SciFi #MMromance #RLFblog #Academy
I’m Kayelle Allen, author and owner of RLF, and I’m usually welcoming guests in this space. Today, it’s my turn to share a book. A Divided Heart is in the Thieves’ Guild Academy sci-fi series set in the Tarthian Empire.
A Divided Heart by Kayelle Allen
The Thieves’ Guild Academy teaches three things. Honor above profit. Skill above chance. Family above all. So when the Academy decides to turn away an alien child who’s too unruly to train, Professor Brinn Halin intercedes. Despite the warnings of his handsome ex, the Headmaster, he fosters the precocious four-year-old girl.
Academy Headmaster Kam Zavala oversees a school full of trainee thieves and hackers, and he’s used to their tricks. This latest student, a headstrong but brilliant little girl, has gone beyond a simple hack. Her work threatens to implode the ancient Academy itself. As a disaster of epic proportions unfurls, Kam must take action.
But when the child’s breach uncovers a deeper, more insidious hack, the two master thieves must work together. Is there truly honor among thieves? These two have a second chance to prove it, save the child, the Academy, and restore their newfound love.
The question is, will they trust their well-honed instincts, or follow their long-divided hearts…
