The Counterfeit Lady by Alina K Field @alinakfield #RLFblog #RegencyRomance
Alina K Field, 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 Counterfeit Lady by Alina K Field
Genre: Regency Romance
Book heat level (based on movie ratings): R
Freedom!
Vowing she’ll never submit to an arranged marriage, an earl’s daughter bolts for the remote seaside cottage that should be hers upon marriage.
But instead of a quiet respite from her controlling family, she finds her refuge occupied by the last man she ever wants to see again—an American artist, who’s also a thief.
And quite possibly one of her father’s spies.
This story includes a rebellious heroine, a determined spy, a meddling father, a vicious villain, a cast of free-thinking free-traders and possibly a ghost or two!QUICK
Do you write more than one genre? If so, what are they?…
I have a contemporary romance story published in the anthology, Romancing the Pages, plus several contemporary romance manuscripts on hold for when I someday move on from the nineteenth century!
How do you come up with ideas?…
I love to read nonfiction, especially biographies, diaries and memoirs of historical figures.
What is the single most important part of writing for you?…
Getting the motivation right for every character, every action, every bit of dialogue.
When did you write your first book?…
I started many, many stories over the years, but I never typed “the end” until 2009.FUN
Leather or lace? Leather
Black or red? Both!
Satin sheets or smooth cotton? Smooth cotton
Ocean or mountains? Mountains
City life or country life? Both!
Party life or evening at home? Evening at home, definitely!

Award winning author Alina K Field earned a Bachelor of Arts Degree in English and German literature, but her true passion is the much happier world of romance fiction. Though her roots are in the Midwestern U.S., after six very, very, very cold years in Chicago, she moved to Southern California and hasn’t looked back. She shares a midcentury home with her husband, her spunky, blonde, rescued terrier, and the blue-eyed cat who conned his way in for dinner one day and decided the food was too good to leave.
She is the author of several Regency romances, including the 2014 Book Buyer’s Best winner, Rosalyn’s Ring. She is hard at work on her next series of Regency romances, but loves to hear from readers!

New Server — New Power
RLFblog has attracted so many visitors we crashed the server three times in the past month. On September 20th, we had no visitors on the blog so that we could move to a new, more powerful and roomier server. This should hold us for a bit! It also means I can add even more services. Look for new things in 2018, such as Free Book Friday and other goodies for readers (and authors)!
Not only does RLF post automatically to Triberr with a reach of several million, each post is also featured on the Romance Lives Forever Pinterest board http://www.pinterest.com/kayelleallen/romance-lives-forever-rlfblog/ as well as on Facebook. https://www.facebook.com/RomanceLivesForever/ and Twitter https://www.twitter.com/kayelleallen When you like, follow and share it increases the reach.

Meet Charley Everly from The Rogue’s Last Scandal by Alina K Field @AlinaKField #RLFblog #Regency
Let’s meet Charley Everly from The Rogue’s Last Scandal, a new Regency romance.About The Rogue’s Last Scandal
Genre Regency Romance
Book heat level (based on movie ratings): R
Like any good rogue, he was after a lady.
Saving a young heiress from wedding a scoundrel might just ease Charley Everly’s boredom with his current assignment. He’s been looking for a lady: beautiful, rich, Spanish, and the key to a traitor.
Could Grace Kingsley be the one?
Falling—literally—into the arms of the ton’s most outrageous rogue seems a risky path of escape, but Maria Graciela Kingsley y Romero has no other choice. Only the great Earl of Shaldon can help her, and he is not to be found.
So his son will have to do.Introducing Charley Everly
Welcome to Romance Lives Forever. I’m Kayelle Allen, author and owner of this blog. I’d like to get to know you better. Please tell me about yourself.
Age: 28
Gender: Male
Birthplace: Cransdall Estate, England
Profession: Member of Parliament and occasional British spy
Ethnicity: English
Please provide a physical description of yourself.
I’m an all-around average fellow, well perhaps a bit taller than most, and, I’ve got eyes, ears, and nose all in the right places, all my teeth and all my hair, and, well, the ladies don’t complain about the rest of me.
Tell us about yourself, please.
What’s there to tell? I’m the Earl of Shaldon’s gad-about son. Returned from the Continent where I served the crown for a bit, attending parties and such. Father’s found me a spot in the Commons, though he’s managed to keep me busy with some of his other intrigues.
Who is the significant other in your life?
Until I met Gracie Kingsley, I was a favorite of more than one lady. But Gracie has spoiled me for all others.
Do you get by, live comfortably, live extravagantly?
Hah! Just because my father is exceedingly wealthy, everyone assumes I am also. It’s true I’m lucky enough to live in the family homes, but keeping up appearances can be costly, don’t you know? For years I got by on my allowance and small remunerations from my official positions.
What is your viewpoint on wealth?
It’s quite a bother, you know, all that worrying over investments and tenants. Good heavens, I was almost dismayed to find that mother had left me an estate upon my marriage. But there you go, I’ll be able to keep my Gracie in the style she’s accustomed to without dipping into her funds.
What kinds of things do you always carry (in pockets or purse)?
A flask, a small blade, and often a pocket pistol.
What is your family like?
I have two elder brothers and one younger sister. My mother died ten years ago, and I have the most meddlesome father imaginable. He’s returned from his duty thwarting Napoleon to interfere in the lives of his children most prodigiously.
Are you close to family?
My siblings and I have become close, trying to manage Father. Sadly—or, in truth, not so sadly, I’m the latest to succumb to his matchmaking impulses.
Do you have children?
Yes! I now have a step-daughter, a rambunctious little imp who is the queen of the nursery. She has all of her mother’s spirit and beauty, so I expect she will lead us a merry chase. I shall ward off any young bucks who come after her just as I’ve protected her and her mother from the villains who threatened them. I don’t carry that blade and pistol for no reason!The Rogue’s Last Scandal

Is It True: The Viscount’s Seduction by Alina K Field @alinakfield #RLFblog #RegencyRomance
Play Is It True with today’s guest Alina K Field author of The Viscount’s Seduction, a Regency 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.
Searching for the Truth
Lady Sirena Hollister has lost her family, her home, and even her fey abilities, but somehow the fairies have handed her an unexpected chance at a Season in London. From her place on the fringes of high society, she resolves to find the truth about her only brother’s vanishing, and settle her family’s score with the wily English Spy Lord, the Earl of Shaldon. Soon enough, her schemes stir up an unknown enemy…and spark danger of a different sort, in the person of the Earl’s handsome heir, Viscount Bakeley.
Seducing the Beauty
The impertinent hoyden Bakeley met years earlier was as wild as her Irish roots, and just as unlucky. And she’s still an Irish traitor’s sister! But Lady Sirena has grown into a beauty whose charm and courage intrigue him. When danger threatens, Bakeley comes to her rescue, risking scandal, the ton’s disapproval, his interfering father’s ire…and his own heart.
Book heat level (based on movie ratings): R
Genre: Regency 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 have three novellas, one short novel, and one longer novel, the first book in this series, available for fans of Regency romance.
this book is part of a series?
Yes, this is Book Two in The Sons of the Spy Lord series.
you lost sleep while writing this book?
Yes! I often have to write down ideas that come to me just as I’m falling asleep.
you did research for this book?
Yes, lots and lots! The history of Ireland is fascinating. I also did research on horses and London sewers.
some characters in this book are not human? (pets for example)
Yes. There are two horses important to the story.
this book has more than one genre?
Yes, the story is primarily romance, but there is some suspense.
you speak more than one language?
Yes, sort of, LOL! English is my native language but I also speak Spanish (badly) some German (from my college days and also badly), and I used to be able to manage some French. Use it or lose it, as they say.
you grew up where you live now?
No. I’ve been in California for over 35 years, but I’m originally from the Midwest. I miss those Midwestern autumns and springs, not so much the cold winters and steamy summers!
you love to read?
Yes. And I’m particularly drawn to historical fiction with romance and adventure.
you are never late?
Yes, that’s pretty much true. That’s partly from a lifetime of working in a highly structured environment plus my husband’s influence. He’s fanatically on time.
you love pizza?
LOVE pizza, yes. I like a thin crust with lots of cheese and vegies. I could probably eat pizza every day.
you love sushi?
No. I’ve never been able to figure out the appeal of that dish. But, I’ve never acquired a taste for seafood, either. You order the sushi and I’ll get pizza!
you have a pet?
Yes, I have 2 pets, a dog and a cat.
Where can we find your book online?
