Is It True: Her Cyborg Lover by Anne Kane @annekane #RLFblog #scifi romance
Play Is It True with today’s guest Anne Kane, author of Her Cyborg Lover, a Science Fiction Romance. This is a game in which authors answer yes and no questions. They can elaborate on answers as much as they choose.
First, tell us about your book.
Natalie’s loved and lost and she’s not so sure she wants to risk her heart again. She’s willing to settle for a challenging career as a space-pilot instructor and a succession of no-strings attached lovers. But that’s before her boss saddles her with the last thing she wants—a new partner.
Jebediah recognizes his perfect match in Natalie from the moment she seduces him on a dare. Everything that makes her a top-notch pilot, from her fearlessness to her passion, make a night in her bed both challenging and unforgettable.
A dangerous confrontation with a brutal enemy, an exploding drive engine and a traitor close to home throw everything into perspective. Natalie is going to have to put the past behind her and risk it all, because when your partner is also your lover, failure is not an option.
Book heat level (based on movie ratings): (R)
Genre: Science Fiction Romance
Now, tell us Yes or No for each answer below. Feel free to explain any (or none) of your answers.
Is it true:
this is your first book?
No! I think it’s about my thirtieth. Of course there were some really short stories mixed in, and a number of anthologies so I could be wrong. Or right. There’s always a chance I’m right!
this book is part of a series?
Yes, this is the first book in the Terras Five series featuring lots of hot alpha male heroes, who just happen to be cyborgs.
you lost sleep while writing this book?
No. On the contrary, I was quite happy to fall blissfully asleep and dream about having my very own cyborg lover.
you did research for this book?
Umm. Sure. I sent out an intergalactic call for information on the development of a rumored cyborg colony with human ancestry. Imagine my surprise when they returned my call! Please don’t tell my children. They already think I’m a little strange.
some characters in this book are not human? (pets for example)
Yes. Definitely! Spike is not human. He is a miniature dragon with the loyalty of a cat. Yup. That means exactly what you think.
this book has more than one genre?
Yes. It has science fiction and romance and cyborgs and futuristic. That’s lots for one book, don’t you think?
you speak more than one language?
No. Nein. Nyente. Non. Het. Nada. Nao. Nem.
you grew up where you live now?
**Snort** Hardly. As a kid I moved a lot, and then I became an adult and acquired the ability to move across entire continents in a single, stressful, insane move. Just FYI, I have no intention of ever moving again. Ever.
you love to read?
Yes.
you are never late?
True. I was once characterized as chronically early. And in case you were wondering, it’s not hereditary. I have two children who prove that on a regular basis.
you love pizza?
Yes.
you love sushi?
Yes.
you have a pet?
No. I have a spoiled little rescue mutt, and a Himalayan cat with a God complex.
Where can we find your book online?

Anne is a gorgeous supermodel who writes romance in her spare time while jetting around Europe with a string of boy-toys in tow.
Hmmm… no one is going to believe that. How about this?
Anne is an undercover agent for a super secret government agency and when not saving the world for democracy and all the good people, she writes romance one-handed on a special mini computer designed by a mad scientist just for her.
Yeah, that sounds way better. So, ignore the people who tell you she’s just an ordinary person with an extraordinary imagination. They’re just jealous because she gets to play with James Bond and vacation in exotic locations.
Honestly!
When she’s not busy saving the world or writing the next great novel, she likes to kayak, hike, ride motorcycles, swim, skate, practice karate, play her guitar, sing and of course, read.

It Takes a Cat Burglar by Cailin Briste @CailinBriste #RLFblog #SciFi #Romance
Welcome Cailin Briste author of It Takes a Cat Burglar, a new sci-fi romance.
Why did you write this book?
It Takes a Cat Burglar began with a prompt in a Goodreads group writing event. The characters wouldn’t keep to the prompts story line, so I put it aside and wrote another story for the group. I had thought of including it in a boxed set, but when that fell through I decided to self-publish the novella. Now I intend to write additional A Thief in Love Romances and make a series.
What is your favorite genre to read?
If you go by the number of books on my kindle, historical romance wins by a landslide, Regency romance in particular. I love the fantasy aspect of many of these novels.
Who is your favorite character from fiction (not including your own)?
My favorite character comes from the Foreigner series by C. J. Cherryh. Bren Cameron is the only human allowed to interact with the Atevi. Humans landed on the Atevi planet after a disaster separated them from human space. He’s supposed to be writing a dictionary that will allow the two species to talk effectively to one another. A difficult task because the Atevi are wired completely differently from humans. In the first book someone tries to kill him, and the entire series (20 books) is set in motion. I love his struggle to communicate, to find the words that have meaning to humans and Atevi, to keep the delicately balanced peace between the two species.
What are you working on at the moment?
My works in progress include a novella for the next SFR Shooting Stars anthology, the Cosmic Love Cabaret. It’s the love story of Master Trey from the first Sons of Tallav book Shane: Marshal of Tallav. He was a Dom at the Opio Institute, a sex school, but now works at the Whip Hand, a BDSM club. He’s been delegated the task of explaining dominance and submission to the newly hired creative director of the Whip Hand’s cabaret.
I’m also about a third of the way into Rand: Son of Tallav, the third book in the Sons of Tallav series. It’s the story of Randolph, the owner of the Whip Hand, and best friends of Shane and Maon, characters from the first two books. He’s a sadist, so this book is taking a lot of thought.
What books will we see from you in coming months?
The Cosmic Love Cabaret boxed set will be available for pre-order in September and released in October.
Please tell us about your latest book.
Genre
Sci-fi Romance, Romantic Suspense
Book heat level (based on movie ratings): R
When Darcelle Lebeau throws off the invisible chains that keep her bound to her family, she discovers a new vocation. Tempted to enter the illegal playground of a man she nicknames Matou, she becomes a cat burglar in training. Deeply ensnared with each task he entices her to fulfill, she fails to discover his identity and true intentions.
Sebastian St. Croix, a wealthy businessman, has a dark side. He’s a thief, a cat burglar who steals art and historical objects. For one year, he trains Darcelle to become his assistant, remaining incognito, observing her from afar. His admiration grows along with his desire for her with every phase-one challenge she completes. Phase two will test the limits of his control. Hands-on personal training? Yes. Sex? No. With his sister’s happiness at stake, nothing, not even the tempting Darcelle Lebeau, can interfere with accomplishing the biggest break-in of his career.

Danger in the Stars @vscotttheauthor #RLFblog #SFR
Welcome Veronica Scott author of Danger in the Stars, a new scifi
romance.Why did you write
this book?When I was writing Star Cruise: Stowaway for the ‘Pets In
Space’ anthology last year, I had the premise of an empathic alien priestess
stolen from her own world and sold to an interstellar crime syndicate, forced
to do their bidding. In that novella, the story was about the woman’s escape
with the help of my ship’s crew and two pets. When I finished writing that one,
I started thinking about a sister, also held as a prisoner, but not lucky
enough to escape. How would it be for her, to be in the midst of the criminal
operations, trying to stay true to her own values, but forced to commit crimes?
Who would help her? Conor, the hero, came into my head and said, “I will.”
He’s a comple man of many secrets, but no spoilers from me!What is your favorite
genre to read?I love science fiction romance, but I read voraciously,
everything from Regency romances to romantic suspense with Navy SEALs.Who is your favorite
character from fiction (not including your own)?I love Nalini Singh’s Arrows in her Psy-Changeling series,
and of that group, Judd is still my favorite.What are you working
on at the moment?I’ve got two things going on – a paranormal novel set in
ancient Egypt and a new scifi romance. I don’t usually try to juggle telling
two stories at once but the Egyptian tale came to me one night completely
plotted and so I figured I’d better write it!What books will we see from you in coming months?In May I’ll be releasing a volume of three scifi romance
stories, which were previously only available in anthologies, and then of
course the two new books I talked about in the previous question will come out
in the summer.Please tell us about
your latest book.Genre Science fiction romanceBook heat level (based on movie ratings): PG13Miriell, a powerful empathic priestess, has been kidnapped
from her own primitive planet along with a number of her people, and sold to
the evil Amarotu Combine, largest organized crime syndicate in the Sectors.
When she and her handler are sent to use her power to commit an assassination,
she must leave behind her own sister as hostage to ensure her compliance.
Miriell cannot ask for aid without endangering herself and others.Despite his best efforts, Combine enforcer Conor Stewart is
entranced by Miriell, and helps her evade the worst of brutal treatment from
the rest of the mob. But Conor must keep his distance, before the lovely empath
learns that he has secrets of his own–secrets that could get them both killed.The situation becomes dire when Conor and Miriell come to
the attention of both the Combine overlords and the deadly Mawreg, aliens who
threaten the Sectors. Can she save herself and the Mawreg’s next victims? And
will Conor help her, or remain loyal to his evil bosses?Amazon https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06Y2BP8JZ

Dark Thoughts by Cynthia Sax @CynthiaSax #RLFblog #SciFi #Romance
Welcome Cynthia Sax author of Dark Thoughts, a new SciFi
Romance.Why did you write
this book?When I first met Kralj, the hero of Dark Thoughts, during
Chasing Mayhem, I knew I had to write his story. Kralj is Ruler of the Refuge,
a settlement that many of the most violent beings in the universe call home. He
can read minds, can control beings with his thoughts and has a very dark
beast-like side of him. He EATS his enemies. Yeah, he goes there.I only write romance so, of course, that got me thinking, “What
type of female would love a male like that?” Dita, a pint-sized assassin,
is as unique as Kralj is. She is as strong as he is yet has a cheerfulness that
offsets his grim demeanor.Note: Dark Thoughts is a standalone. It is not necessary to
read Chasing Mayhem first.What is your favorite
genre to read?I love all sorts of romance. Give me a happy romantic
ending! I gobble that up. I read everything from sexy Regency Dukes to
tormented half man, half machine cyborg warriors.Who is your favorite
character from fiction (not including your own)?In the SciFi Romance space, I really like Ral, the Zorn
warrior in Laurann Dohner’s Ral’s Woman. That was my first Laurann Dohner story
and I loved it. Ral is an awesome beastly hero. Beauty and the Beast is my
favorite romance premise. If there’s beast in the book description, the writer
has me.What are you working
on at the moment?I’m writing the follow up story to Dark Thoughts (releasing
in July). The hero will be Orol, Kralj’s winged second-in-command. He has been
given a solo mission. His heroine, of course, isn’t cooperating with that
mission. (grins) It is never easy for our heroes, is it?What books will we see
from you in coming months?Ghost Of A Machine, my next standalone cyborg romance, will
be releasing in May. He’s a severely damaged hero and has earned his happy ever
after.The next story in the Dark Thoughts series will be releasing
in July.Please tell us about
your latest book.Genre Sci Fi RomanceBook heat level (based on movie ratings): RCan love redeem a monster?The Refuge is home to some of the most violent beings in the
universe. Kralj, its leader, reigns over the remote outpost with terrifying
ease, ruthlessly squashing any rumors of rebellion, killing anyone who breaks
his rules. Primitive, deadly, powerful, he’s a monster, scarred both on his
face and his soul. He has never met a being he couldn’t control.Until he meets her.Dita has one mission—to kill the three targets claiming
sanctuary within the Refuge. Or so she claims. For the first time in his long
lifespan, Kralj isn’t certain of another being’s intentions. The tiny assassin
is immune to his powers, her thoughts unreadable. He can’t predict her
movements, can’t control her, can’t stop wanting her.Dita is rare, as unique as he is, and, to keep the residents
of the Refuge safe, Kralj will have to kill her. But first, he’ll touch her,
taste her, show her how passionate the beast inside him can be.Dark Thoughts is a STAND-ALONE SciFi Romance.The hero might be tall, dark, and scarred but don’t be
fooled by his appearance.He’s truly a monster.This story is not for readers with delicate sensibilities.Publisher http://cynthiasax.com/refuge/
