    Heat Wave: Riders Up, Book 2 by Adriana KraftJoin Adriana Kraft and more authors for #FreeBookFriday #RLFblog

    Celebrate the upcoming Kentucky Derby with a free romantic suspense set in the world of horse racing!
    Danger, suspense, stunning race horses, courageous heroines and the complicated men who love them!
    Hang onto the land – but at what cost? Feisty widow hires ace racehorse trainer to salvage her family’s heritage. Can they survive escalating threats to life and limb?
    During an oppressive Iowa summer of drought and farm foreclosures, widowed Maggie Anderson makes a bold decision: She’ll merge her love of horses and her family’s three hundred and twenty acres into a horse farm and try her hand at nearby Prairie Meadows Race Track, where racing purses have just been augmented by the recently added casino gambling.
    Down on his luck after being falsely accused in a racing scandal and banned from training, former Arlington Race Track trainer Ed Harrington has skulked home to Des Moines to drown his sorrows and wait for the dust to clear. He’s unprepared for the piercing robin’s-egg-blue eyes of pint-sized Maggie Anderson, who finds him at a flophouse and offers him a job. Can he pull himself together and meet the challenge?
    As the two forge a tumultuous working partnership, they soon discover someone is out to get Maggie’s farm and will stop at almost nothing to force her off the land. Can they find and stop the culprit before someone is killed? Can they survive the far greater danger unleashed by the raw passion simmering just beneath the surface of their relationship?

    Welcome to Perdition House: a house of sin, secrets, and seduction.
    Sometimes ghost stories are naughty and erotic…
    Faye Grantham inherits Perdition House, her family’s secret shame, and expects to sell the property and marry her fiancé.
    Trapped in the bordello for decades, the spirits of the women who worked there tell their stories to Faye in dreams.
    The “girls” control Faye’s libido, influence her decisions and drive her into the arms of two very different men.
    Liam Watson wears comfort like most men wear cologne. With an interest in adventurous sex, he’s more man than he first seems.
    Mark McLeod is a strong, decisive businessman who was not meant to be more than a one-night stand. But Mark hopes to continue Faye’s lessons in sensuality.
    Enthralled by the mansion Faye’s must re-examine her engagement, her business decisions, and her beliefs.
    As the spirits reveal themselves one by one, Faye learns how they came to Perdition House, why they joined the women there and some of the secrets that a high-class bordello could hold.
    But can decades-old secrets affect Faye’s life today?

    Cole: A Rock Star Story (Standish Bay #1) by Christine DonovanJoin Christine Donovan and more authors for #FreeBookFriday #RLFblog

    Cole Jackson is sent to prison for a murder he did not commit, the murder of his wife Lindsey. She is stabbed to death late one night. A night Cole doesn’t remember, but he does know one thing for certain, he could never have committed the act.

    His talent as a songwriter and an avid reader save him from the loneliness of the cold, dark and unforgiving prison walls. As he joins the world of the free again, after fifteen years in prison, he struggles with his once again fame in being part of a rock-n-roll band, the stigma of being a convicted killer and the fact that his self-esteem and self-respect were lost years ago. Prison will do that to you, not to mention drugs, alcohol and an unfaithful wife. He no longer has the drugs, the alcohol, or the unfaithful wife, whose long list of lovers range from a controversial New York Senator, to a member of his band. What he has is a tarnished reputation and the determination to find the true killer and restore his life as best he can.

    Shannon Gallagher’s hard work as a writer is finally paying off. She owns a beautifully restored Victorian home on the ocean, is raising a terrific and talented sixteen-year-old son, Cameron, whose musical ability amazes everyone. She even manages to maintain a close relationship with her parents, her sisters and her brother, not to mention, an ex-husband, John McKenzie. She has, however, shied away from relationships since her divorce.

    She believes her life is complete, until she meets Cole Jackson. She idolized him at sixteen, cried at twenty-one when he went to prison. Now at thirty-six, she meets him and falls instantly in love. Only being in love with Cole is more painful than she ever imagines it can be. And more dangerous as the closer Cole gets to exposing his wife’s killer, the closer Shannon becomes to being his next victim. Can Cole expose the murderer and keep Shannon safe?

    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.

    Riders Up Series by Adriana Kraft @AdrianaKraft #RLFblog #RomanticSuspense #KentuckyDerby

    Riders Up Series by Adriana Kraft @AdrianaKraft #RLFblog #RomanticSuspenseAdriana Kraft, 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.
    Danger, suspense, stunning race horses, courageous heroines and the complicated men who love them
    Growing up, I was a horse-crazy little girl who devoured every book I could find about riding, grooming, caring for a horse, horse breeds, horse fiction… I could never understand why my parents refused to buy me a horse. But on my ninth birthday, they gave me a huge surprise. Ahead of time, they mowed a path among the blackberry bushes in our back field, and in the middle of the party, a van and trailer from the local pony ring showed up with my favorite pony and pony rides for everyone present. I was in heaven!
    For me, “horse-crazy” and “romantic” have always gone hand in hand. Luckily, as an adult, I met and married Mr. Kraft, who shares both attributes. We’d been married over a decade when a colleague at work, who was a small-time horse trainer on the side, offered us a deal we couldn’t refuse. We bought in, he and Mr. Kraft made the trek to Barrett’s sale in California, and we became co-owners of two thoroughbred race horses.
    In real life, that’s not a money-making business for most folks. We’d no sooner stabled them with our friend than one of them (the more expensive one, of course), bowed a tendon. That ended her racing career before it even started, but she still proved valuable as a brood mare down the line.
    So perhaps it’s no surprise that when we started writing romance together, we set our first stories in the world of horse racing, where we could give our plucky heroines far more success in the racing world than we’d had. Riders Up, our four book romantic suspense series, is the result.
    Every spring, we follow the prep races for the Kentucky Derby and make sure by Derby Day we’re somewhere that we can watch it. We’ve seen it live twice—and yes, I have a hat! This year we’re celebrating the Kentucky Derby by sharing FREE books with our readers. Starting next Friday, April 13, one book in the series will be free at Amazon each weekend, leading up to the Kentucky Derby on Saturday, May 5.
    For reminders about the free books, you can follow our Author Page at Amazon, or you can check back here on the RLF Blog each Friday for the Free on Friday listings. Enjoy! We’ll be watching that magic “Riders Up” moment on May 5!

    Unreal Love in the Real World Adrian Kraft @AdrianaKraft #RLFblog #MFRWAuthor #LGBT

    Welcome, Adriana Kraft. Please tell us about your new book and a subject that I know is dear to your heart.

    “Romance Lives Forever.” I love the title of Kayelle’s Website. I’ve always wanted to believe this is true—or at least, in the non-paranormal world, true for as long as a person lives. My husband and I are approaching our fortieth anniversary, so perhaps we’re safe to believe it’s true for us!
    It’s what Jamie believes in our polyamory novella Three: A Love Story, just released last week in the boxed set All You Need is Love. Jamie is deeply in love with Susan. She trusts Susan’s love for her, and she doesn’t expect it ever to fade.
    But if you spend any time poking around in polyamory blogs and websites (and we do; research, you know!), you’ll discover that many people who end up in some type of polyamory arrangement didn’t start out as polyamory advocates and go looking for someone. They experienced polyamory as something that just happened. They were in love with one person, and they began to experience feelings for an additional person. Rather than deny those feelings or simply bail on the person they already loved, they opened up about those feelings in what had been their primary relationship, and together they moved on to explore what might be both right and possible for them.
    I’m sure lots of relationships fall apart at this point in the process. Probably another significant number re-examine their relationship as a duo and re-commit to it. Most likely few of either of these groups are sharing their stories in the polyamory social media, and I’ve never seen any research on what the actual numbers might be.
    But this precise point is where we chose to set our story. Jamie and Susan, both bisexual but committed to love each other, have continued to date men from time to time. Their relationships with men have been casual and have often led to casual sex, sometimes even casual three-way sex. We’re not sure they considered themselves to be swingers, but they probably wouldn’t have flinched at the label. In this regard, they are already more open to the potential of expanding their relationship than many couples might be. As our story opens, Jamie is starting to have more than casual feelings for the current man in her life.
    Three-way committed relationships don’t simply emerge full-blown and move smoothly towards that happily-ever-after forever. We wanted to explore the tugs and pulls of each protagonist as the balance shifts and the pitfalls emerge. Who has the most to lose? What does each of them fear, and who is the most afraid? How do they go about the process of opening up these feelings and sorting them out? What do they still hide from each other? And of course, ultimately, can it work?
    We’ve written a romance. You already know it has a happy ending. We still believe that’s possible, and we do know a few friends who are, at least for the moment, making something similar work for them. We hope you’ll join our characters for what proves to be a bumpy ride on the way to romance that lives forever.

    Three: A Love Story (All You Need is Love)

    Three lives—but how many loves?
    Committed lovers for three years, Jamie and Susan are good together. Jamie knows she wants Susan in her life forever. But what if that’s not enough?
    Both bi, the two have continued dating men occasionally, and now Jamie’s falling in love with Mason. Can she love two persons? Will her love for either one wrench the other one out of her life?
    Jamie’s convinced a long-term three-way relationship is the answer, but none of the players is prepared for what’s coming. Two-way relationships are hard enough—is a three-way even possible? And if so, what must each of them give up to create it?
