Is It True: Mistletoe in the City by Amber Daulton @amberdaulton1 #RLFblog #NewAdult
Crafting romance with sugar and heat in Mistletoe in the City a novella by Amber Daulton.
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, Amber Daulton, author of Mistletoe in the City, a New Adult Contemporary Romance. This is a game with yes and no questions. Writers can elaborate on answers as much as they choose.
Mistletoe in the City by Amber Daulton
Genre New Adult Contemporary Romance
Book heat level (based on movie ratings): PG 13
Krista Hartley never expected the unrequited love of her life, the irresistible Derek Weston, to work as the groundskeeper at the apartment building she just moved into. They barely spoke in high school but now, three years after graduation, they tore at each other’s clothes and jumped into bed together at every opportunity. After all, how could a hot-blooded woman say no to a sexy man with an eyebrow ring, a dragon tattoo and a deadly swagger?
A Christmas miracle drew Krista back into Derek’s life. He kissed her for the first time under mistletoe, pampered her with romantic candlelight dinners and memorized every inch of her delectable body with his tongue. He refused to let his dream girl slip through his fingers again but then another woman threatened their whirlwind romance. Hurt once before, Krista broke off their relationship and then Derek made a drunken mistake that could destroy their love forever.
With just days to Christmas, he vowed to win back her heart and trust, and prove his innocence once and for all.
Is it true:
this is your first book?
No. Mistletoe in the City is my fourth book out of a dozen-plus now available.
this book is part of a series?
Yes! It’s book 3 in the Handmade for Christmas anthology. Authors Jennifer Conner and Natalie Nicole Bates also have stories in the antho. All the novellas are standalones.
you lost sleep while writing this book?
Not really. The plot and characters came together fairly easily, which is always a relief.
you did research for this book?
Of course. Research is a must, no matter the genre or type of story. I had a blast researching the artsy neighborhoods in Seattle, where the story takes place, and since Krista is into arts and crafts, I found a bunch of cool pictures and projects on Pinterest.
some characters in this book are not human? (pets for example)
Not true. No pets, shifters, aliens, sea monsters, etc make an appearance. Sorry, folks!
this book has more than one genre?
Yes. It’s a New Adult, Contemporary Romance, Christmas novella.
you speak more than one language?
Nope, but I wish I could.
you grew up where you live now?
Give or take twenty miles, yes.
you love to read?
Oh, yes. You can’t be a professional author without reading.
you are never late?
True. I’m usually early, which can be just as bad.
you love pizza?
I’m only human.
you love sushi?
No. Yuck. I’ve tried it, but I just can’t eat raw fish and seaweed.
you have a pet?
I have two wonderful kitties, Darby and Pepper. Both are 8 years old.

Introducing Calista Barlow from Arresting Jeremiah, by Amber Daulton @amberdaulton1 #RLFblog #RomanticSuspense
Love and danger come from all sides, in Arresting Jeremiah, a new novel by Amber Daulton. Calista Barlow falls in love with a man who isn’t as squeaky-clean as he appears. Let’s meet Calista. Welcome to Romance Lives Forever. I’m Kayelle Allen, author and owner of this blog. Happy to have you here! Please tell us about the story your author wrote.
Arresting Jeremiah by Amber Daulton
Genre: Romantic Suspense
Book heat level (based on movie ratings): R
Injured Parole Officer Jeremiah “Jim” Borden never expected Calista Barlow, the sassy blonde waitress he’s craved for months, to ring his doorbell. She slips into his heart—and his bed—but he’s obsessed with a gangland investigation that threatens his career and maybe even his life.
Calista doesn’t trust easily, not with a daughter to protect and the stalker who keeps calling her. After her violent ex-boyfriend returns, she finds solace in Jim’s arms.
Jim may have to forego his need for answers to protect the ready-made family he adores, but how will he and Calista escape an unseen enemy that is always one step ahead of them?
Introducing Calista Barlow
Please tell me about yourself.
Age: 28
Gender: Female
Birthplace: Aspen, Colorado
Profession: Waitress at Demi’s Diner
Ethnicity: Caucasian
What do you look like?
Oh, Lord. I knew you’d ask that question. Well, I’m six-feet tall, so I rarely wear high heels. I’m not technically ashamed of being a tall woman, but it’s so annoying when some men scowl at me, like it’s my fault they’re short. Anyway, I have long blonde hair and blue eyes. My thighs and hips are a little chunky, but my bottom looks good when I walk—or so Jeremiah says. My breasts are on the big side, so I would love to get a reduction some day. Unfortunately, it costs way too much money. (I can’t believe I’m actually saying this. You’re just so easy to talk with, Kayelle.)
Who is the significant other in your life?
Jeremiah Borden. Everyone calls him Jim, but I always use his given name unless I’m mad at him. I lucked out when I met him. He’s six-feet-two of gorgeous rock-hard muscles, and he’s always trying to persuade me to wear heels.
I dropped out of community college when I was 18. I was pregnant, and my ex wanted nothing to do with me or with our child. Serves me right for falling under a pretty boy’s thumb. I should’ve known better than to get involved with him, but I digress… I went back to school a few years later for culinary and business courses, but I didn’t have time to stick with it. My daughter, Lacey, then a job, came first.
Are you book-smart, self-taught, widely-experienced?
I love to cook and bake, and I’ve been dreaming about opening a bakery for as long as I can remember. Even though I’ve had no real formal education into cuisine, I grew up in the shadows of a wealthy household (my mother was a maid there) and the head chef took me under his wing. I’ve learned to create a variety of French dishes under Chef Caron’s tutelage.
Do you get by, live comfortably, live extravagantly?
I get by. I’m working a dead-end job at a greasy diner since I couldn’t find a chef position without a college diploma. Though I receive some money through child support, I’m trying to save it for Lacey’s college.
When there is a setback, what doubt or flaw surfaces?
I always tend to think I’m not good enough, not smart enough, and I even go so far to think my life would be easier if I was shorter with smaller breasts.
I grew up with a wonderful, loving mother, but I didn’t know my father and the first guy I fell in love with stomped my heart into the ground. The few guys I dated after him either used me for sex—hence the body issues—or they didn’t like my daughter. How could any woman’s confidence survive unscathed after repeated abuse like that?
I’m proud to say I’ve worked through much of my self-esteem issues, but that horrible niggling doubt is always there at the back of my mind, ready to pounce when I least expect it. But I know better than to flame the fire. I’m a smart, strong woman, and no one is going to make me change my mind.
When you are upset, what gives you away?
I rarely curse, so if bad words are flying from my mouth, you better step back. I’m about to or have already blown my top.

Harmony’s Embrace by Amber Daulton @amberdaulton1 #RLFblog #NewRelease #RomanticSuspense
Reuniting with the man who broke her heart has never felt so right. Falling back into love, the theme of Harmony’s Embrace by Amber Daulton.
Amber, 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.
Harmony’s Embrace by Amber Daulton
Genre Romantic Suspense
Book heat level (based on movie ratings): PG-13
Divorced dad Birley Haynes is too busy raising his children and running his family’s music academy to start a relationship. Then Harmony Holdich, his high school sweetheart, returns home to Willow Springs, Vermont for Christmas and falls into his bed. She brings light and fun back into his life, but he can’t brush aside the threatening incidents around his workplace.
Harmony hadn’t expected a complication like Birley, especially so soon after the death of her unfaithful husband. With her life a mess, she plans to move across the country and start over. All she can offer him is a fling, but her heart yearns for more.
When the threats rise, how will Birley keep his children safe and convince Harmony to give love another chance?
Why did you write this book?
Harmony’s Embrace is part of the multi-author Deerbourne Inn series, in which I’d already written one book, Lyrical Embrace. As I was writing Lyrical, I introduced a secondary character that really needed a good woman in his life.
Birley Haynes was so focused on work and taking care of his children that he’d forgotten how to relax and have fun. I wanted him to be happy and to find a mother figure for his adorable kids.
A few ideas bounced around in my head for about a year, but I couldn’t decide on Birley’s love interest.
Would she be a stranger coming to his small town of Willow Springs for whatever reason?
Would she be his ex-wife, who ran away from her responsibilities and now regrets her foolhardy decision?
Or would she be his high school sweetheart who never stopped loving him?
After I finally decided on the heroine—bachelorette number 3!—the plot fell together easily.
What is your favorite genre to read?
Romantic Suspense and Paranormal are tied in first place. Give me bad boys, criminals, and secret agents, or vampires and shifters—I’m not picky.
Who is your favorite character from fiction (not including your own)?
I’m not sure. I really like The Hunger Games movies, and the books are on my ever-growing TBR list. So I have to go with the awesome Katness Everdeen.
What are you working on at the moment?
I’m currently revising Ryan’s Temptation, a novella in my Arresting Onyx series. It follows sassy beautician Chanel Leroc and her sexy blond neighbor Ryan Naylor. After they witness the brutal death of a prostitute and the killer sets his sights on them, they must go into Witness Protection for their own safety. This fast-paced romantic suspense thriller is sure to keep readers on the edge of their seats!
What books will we see from you in coming months?
Hopefully, Ryan’s Temptation will be out in Summer 2021.
