Christmas Promises by *lizzie starr, Bernadette Jones, Cheryl StJohn
Genre Romance Short Stories
Book heat level (based on movie ratings): PGThe Aspen Gold Series continues with book 21~ Christmas Promises.
The Baby Contract ~ Cheryl St.John
She thought she knew what she was looking for… until what she was looking for found her
Eve Before Christmas~Bernadette Jones
Dreams can come true, on the eve before Christmas.
The Perfect Snow Globe Christmas ~*lizzie starr
Is there such a thing as a perfect Christmas?Why did you write this book?
When a series is set if a small town, there are so many people, and so a wealth of story possibilities. Some stories need longer to tell while others are more suited to shorter tales. Cheryl, Bernadette, and *lizzie had short holiday stories to tell, so this collection was born.
What is your favorite genre to read?
Adding the reading habits of all three authors together, we come up with a list that covers a wide variety of genres. None of us have only one favorite. Reading faves depend on our moods, what we’re writing at the time, and just pure pleasure reading.
What are you working on at the moment?
Along with other projects (Bernadette and *lizzie have other pen names to manage, too) all three of us are working on our Next Aspen Gold books. There’s also rereleases of old favorites and new tales outside of Spencer in the works.
What books will we see from you in coming months?
Our next Aspen Gold books are:
How To Be A Heartbreaker~Cheryl St.John

*lizzie always made up games and stories to keep her company. So, a cunning witch lived in Grampa’s weather research station and was only held at bay by waving a certain weed. An ancient road grader morphed into a boat carrying wild adventurers to islands filled with fierce lions and dangerous cannibals, which really looked a lot like sheep.
Now filled with fantasy, love, and romance with a sparkling twist, the stories of her imagination swirl their way into the mundane world.
*lizzie recently retired from her more routine life of being *the Lunch Lady* at a private school. According to the kids, she was ‘the best cooker!’ Yes, she misses the students and teachers, but is delighted now to start her days by telling stories rather than opening cases of chicken nuggets and counting milk cartons.
Her tagline of Author and lunch lady~~what a combination! no longer holds true (which makes her sad because she really liked that one).

Read Secrets, Scandals, and Seductions by Linda Rae Sande @lindaraesa #RLFblog #HistoricalRomance
This sweet and steamy collection of historical romance will transport you to a time when gentlemen were plentiful, and every scoundrel capable of seduction possessed a heart waiting to be uncovered.
Linda Rae, welcome to Romance Lives Forever. I’m Kayelle Allen, author and owner of this blog. Happy to have you here! Please tell us about Secrets, Scandals, & Seductions.
Secrets, Scandals, and Seductions by Linda Rae Sande
Genre: Historical romance
Book heat level (based on movie ratings): PG to R
Hidden identities, scandalous secrets, second chances, and happily ever afters fill this boxed set of more than 16 standalone romances, guaranteed to make you swoon.
Each unique tale in the Secrets, Scandals, and Seduction Boxed Set delivers a stand-alone story you are certain to love.
How do you capture a man’s heart… A lady never tells.
Authors included in this set are: Lynn Donovan, Sofie Darling, Alyssa Drake, Emily E K Murdoch, Cat Cahill, RL Ashley, A.S. Fenichel, Marie Higgins, Robyn DeHart, Christine Sterling, Linda Rae Sande, Adara Luann, C.K. O’Connor, Marianne Spitzer, Rose Pearson and Sophie Smith.
My contribution to the set is The Bride of a Baronet.
Widower Sir Adam Wilson, Bart., has put off remarrying in favor of seeing to his lands and the tenants who work the fields. At thirty-five and a father of a young daughter, he can no longer ignore his need for an heir. When he discovers how his grandfather found his Lady Wilson, he decides to do the same—run a bride contest at the local fair.
Although she didn’t exactly apply for the position of governess for Sir Adam’s daughter, widow Charlotte is happy to accept the position—she loves Penelope as if she were own, and Charlotte did make a promise to her mother regarding her education. When she learns of Sir Adam’s plan for finding a bride, Charlotte and the local villagers devise a way to fix the contest in her favor—by ensuring she’s the only one who enters.

Thank you, Kayelle, for hosting me today.
I’m so proud to be part of this charity anthology. Since the war in Ukraine began, I’ve struggled. I’ve watched the news every night and felt powerless. When the Seeds of Love anthology was looking for authors, I was happy to step up. I contributed two short stories to this anthology (a gay romance under my pen name Gabbi Grey – The Lightkeeper’s Love Affair and a BDSM-light romance under my pen name Gabbi Black – Toronto Tryst). So many authors signed up to do their part. I was grateful to Dakota Willink for pulling this together in such a short time. I hope readers select this anthology as there’s something for everyone.
Again, thanks for letting me share my news with your wonderful readers.

A fake engagement has gotten disturbingly real…
Shilpa, welcome to Romance Lives Forever. I’m Kayelle Allen, author and owner of this blog. Happy to have you here! Please tell us about Forever Yours – A Novel in Three Parts.
Forever Yours – A Novel in Three Parts by Alisha Kay, Andaleeb Wajid and Shilpa Suraj
Genre Contemporary Romance
Book heat level (based on movie ratings): R
When a pretend engagement ends in a very real combined bachelor/bachelorette weekend in Goa, three couples find their lives going from chaotic to disastrous…
Hatefully Yours by Alisha Kay is the quintessential enemies to lovers story with a very interesting twist.
Aditi and Manan hate each other but love their mutual best friend, Karthik. Planning his bachelor party is a trip to hell sprinkled with accidental kisses that taste of heaven. Past misunderstandings, present attraction, and a future built on hope all tangles together to make this weekend one to remember.
Sinfully Yours by Shilpa Suraj is the story of a one-night stand turning into nights that they hope never end.
Sidharth is Bollywood’s biggest hit-turned-overnight-flop. His best friend Sanjana’s bachelorette in Goa is the perfect place for him to hide out and drink his sorrows away. Until he passes out in the arms of the extremely hot pixie who moonlights as a bartender in a shack in Goa. And Dani is left with an armful of drunk movie star who is as messed up as he is hot.
Deceitfully Yours by Andaleeb Wajid is the story of what happens when a fake relationship starts to feel very, very real.
Sanjana and Karthik just wanted their parents to stop talking marriage to them. So, they faked an engagement and now their parents are not talking marriage but planning a wedding instead. When their friends throw them a combined bachelor and bachelorette party, they use the opportunity to plan their breakup. Except behind all well laid plans lies the path to disaster.
Three love stories, three oddball couples, one epic weekend in Goa…
Will they find their heart’s twisted path or focus on the brain’s straight-but-boring one? Will they gamble on their happily-ever-after or choose to leave Goa as they came, single and not ready to mingle?
