    The Road to Beira, by Adam Mann

    Genre Contemporary Romance

    Monique is the leader of a team who has been contracted to recruit staff for a new hotel being constructed near Mount Vanduzi in Mozambique. Her hired car won’t start after a picnic lunch on the way from Beira, but fortunately Colin is travelling the other way towards Beira and he turns around and helps Monique and her team reach the new tourist attraction.

    This is not a Safari hotel, but designed to introduce visitors to the local environment and tribal customs. Monique remembers she knew Colin at their college twenty years earlier when they only saw one another as friends at a distance. Now following her recent acidic divorce she takes the opportunity to “make a play” at Colin and after their visit to Mount Vanduzi she takes him to her home in Durban. She is pleased to find that her two children quickly take to Colin.

    They compensate by all four taking a safari of their own to the Nambiti Game Reserve, where they manage to find and track a rare brown hyena.

Most of the time Adam’s work has been with the thousands of small scale farmers, who have appreciated sustainable livelihoods, so that they now have enough food to feed themselves, and also some to sell so they have a cash income. That is why most of Adam’s novels are set in these remote locations.
    A few years ago Adam finally retired and started writing, and has now produced 25 fantasy romance books nine of which have been published, and sixteen self-published at Smashwords and Amazon.

    The Showers by Adam Mann @AdamMannAuthor #Romance #RLFblogAdam Mann, 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.

    The Showers by Adam Mann

    Genre Erotic Romance
    Book heat level (based on movie ratings): R
    Published by Global Publishing Group LLC.
    Bill Harrison meets Helen Roberts, a lovely farmer’s ex-wife at a farmhouse in the West Yorkshire Dales, as he guides a group of guests on a Fell Pony trekking holiday. Helen decides to take the lead and actually joins Bill in the shower! He soon finds himself helping out on more than a holiday romance, but also assisting some of the guests looking for ancestors in the local church registry; a young student couple running into their own romantic problems; and Amanda, her teenage daughter, who wants to learn to drive.
    In the midst of all this Helen’s belligerent former husband Harry, suddenly turns up who had abandoned her nearly twenty years earlier. Harry Townsend is being pursued by the local constabulary on a murder enquiry, and might have been looking for a place to hide out. He reluctantly accepts a small cash handout from Bill.
    Helen finds that some elements of the local society have a memory longer than the twenty years since she divorced Harry for desertion, and the most spiteful can even remember his name.
    The police catch Harry; Bill and Helen overcome local spite and gossip, and they live happily ever after – so get your tissues out!
    This book is sexually explicit and is designed for adults and the over 18’s.

    An Uncommon Love (Romantic Realms Collection 2) by MJ Schiller

    Princess Adriana had her life all figured out…
    Or, to be more precise, she had her life all figured out for her. Before she was even born she was betrothed to Garin, and that was perfectly acceptable as he became her childhood friend, and then, eventually, the person she would swap kisses with inside the palace gardens. She never questioned it, never had a reason to, until the day a commoner was brought before her father, the King, to be punished.
    …until the day her eyes conncected with blacksmith Seth Hobb’s across a stone courtyard.
    When he creeps into the castle at night to thank her for freeing him, they begin to build a relationship with one another that is often as explosive as it is endearing. But fate ends up separating the two and they must undertake a long and arduous journey to be reunited.
    But with everything against them, can an uncommon love like theirs survive?
    Even then, can Adriana make Seth see her for herself and not as the princess he imagines? And if she does, will she ever be able to convince her father that, despite his objections over Seth being a commoner, there is nothing “common” about him at all?

    Dangerous Addictions by Naomi BellinaWant some free books? Nab a few good reads on #FreeBookFriday Naomi Bellina #RLFblog

    With the aid of an inexplicable but opportune super-power, he’s determined to conquer any hurdles to gain back his freedom. Except one hot mess of an obstacle he can’t get around.
    A terrorist attack poisons the water and leaves hundreds of thousands of Americans dead. Countless more are left with diminished brain function. As the government seizes control, order is restored in the country but freedom is taken away. A nation is quarantined, all citizens regulated to stay within the borders.
    For Riley, a genius hacker, that lack of freedom, particularly travel restriction, is not acceptable. When he suddenly develops a bad-ass power and learns he can manipulate electricity, he sets out to use that power to gain back control. The discovery of a murder forces Riley to team up with Danika, an enigmatic woman with her own freaky power and scary secrets. When they find that the dead scientist was working on a machine to uncover more people with superpowers, the adventure begins as they attempt to track the device.
    Death and danger shadow the pair as they travel to the waterways of Florida, the mountains of Colorado and places in between. With each of them following their own agenda but compelled to work together, they search for answers in a world shaped by devastation, and discover love, and buried pieces of themselves along the way.

    Adam Mann: Love in the Boondocks #RLFblog #Romance

    Dave is working for a development project with farmer
    families in remote and distant areas, often mountainous. Very few people speak
    English, and he works with several translators. He comes across primary school
    teachers who work in villages in those areas, and one of them who speaks English
    asks him for help with transport to one of the distant villages. She inadvertently
    invites herself for accommodation overnight in Dave’s small village house.
    Kim Anh comes from a family of teachers, and unfortunately is just recovering
    from a failed marriage, so meeting Dave is quite fortuitous and she
    instinctively cleans and tidies Dave’s kitchen and bedroom.
    Kim’s departure to her new village is delayed as her transport is not
    available, until after the forthcoming luni-solar holidays, and she stays
    another day in Dave’s house. The weather grows colder and Dave kindly offers
    her warmer sleeping facilities!
    Kim had found Dave an attractive man when she first met him, but Dave found all
    young ladies beautiful, until Kim began to blossom under Dave’s care.
    Initial contact turns to passion and passion to deep love.
    Everything works out well until Kim’s co-teacher turns up with a baby, a
    non-husband, and big problems!

    Genre Fantasy Romance

    engaging guerrillas in the Philippines before World War II, from Tagalog
    bundok, mountain, from Proto-Malayo-Polynesian *bunduk, elevated ground. The
    word has since been used by many others to denote a remote and wild area in any
