Seizing Hope by Seelie Kay
Genre: Romantic suspense, contemporary romance
Book heat level (based on movie ratings): Four flames
When four former law school classmates get kicked off the marriage train, they band together, put on their big girl panties, and fight back!
Former Northwestern Law School classmates Dina Willoughby, Miranda Mena, Leah Fraser, and Melody Harris are living the dream. Each had fantasized about the perfect husband while in law school and happily—for a time—that dream became a reality. Until Dina’s husband kicks her out two weeks before her prenuptial agreement kicks in, Miranda’s husband is arrested for securities fraud and flees the country with all of their money, Leah discovers that her royal husband misrepresented his feelings for her in order to get his hands on her money, and newly-pregnant Melody finally admits her artist husband is a sadistic, manipulative, jerk. Facing the loss of their husbands, and stripped of any financial support, the four women band together to fight back. Drawing on their unique legal skills and with the help of a few friends, including a hunky private investigator, a sexy law school professor, a determined cyber-security billionaire and the Queen of England, these four women not only take what’s theirs, they build the path to a new future, one filled with hope.
Why did you write this book?
I was asked to write a book about characters who were devastated by divorce, but picked themselves up and rebuilt their lives. I decided to write a story about how women are empowered when working together, drawing on each other’s strengths and bolstering each other’s weaknesses. I firmly believe that for every problem there is a solution and even at your darkest hour, if you can’t see it, someone who knows you well can. Multiple minds = effective solutions. These four former law school classmates had unique marriages and vastly different break-ups, yet they are all deserving of justice. Justice that sometimes, the courts alone cannot deliver.
What is your favorite genre to read?
I love lawyer and detective fiction in the suspense genre, books like the Alex Cross series by James Patterson or J.D. Robb’s Dallas series. Obviously, I also enjoy romance, but I am starting to lean more toward paranormal stories—shifters, vampires, dragons. There’s just something about wolf shifters!
Who is your favorite character from fiction (not including your own)?
Lt. Eve Dallas, a homicide detective in the future, who is married to one hot and very rich Irishman!
What are you working on at the moment?
The third book in the Feisty Lawyers Series, “Cult.”
What books will we see from you in coming months?
In addition to “Cult,” I am working on a new series about a lawyer who just happens to also be a vampire. Sometimes he uses his unique talents for good, other times, he uses them for his own selfish gains. He is a flawed man who has lived for hundreds of years, still searching for everlasting love.Where to buy Seizing Hope

A Foundation of Fear by Kim McMahill
Genre: Romantic Suspense
Book heat level (based on movie ratings): PG13
FBI Special Agent Devyn Nash is obsessed with taking down Coterie, a deadly group out to control the multi-billion-dollar diet product industry. The FBI’s plan to expose Coterie places Devyn’s best friend and her partner’s fiancé in the crosshairs of this ruthless organization.

Why did you write this book?
A Foundation of Fear is the third novel in the Risky Research Series. This story had to be written because FBI Agent Devyn Nash still has a lot of work to do to bring a deadly group to justice, and she has no intention of giving up on the smoking hot Wyoming sheriff who has stolen her heart.
What is your favorite genre to read?
I love to read, write, and watch stories with filled with action, adventure, suspense and a bit of romance.

I’ve read every book in Clive Cussler’s Dirk Pitt series, so I guess I’d have to say, Dirk Pitt.
What are you working on at the moment?
I recently finished book four in the Risky Research Series, A Measure of Madness, and have sent it to my publisher. I also just completed a prequel novelette for the series, A Formidable Foe, which will be free to download. As soon as I kick off A Foundation of Fear, I’ll jump into book 5.
What books will we see from you in coming months?
It may be more than months, but I’m hoping A Measure of Madness isn’t too far behind A Foundation of Fear.Where to buy A Foundation of Fear

Which forever should she choose?
Ethan – Nerd by day, sexy vampire by night. He’s the man of Luciana’s dreams, literally. Strong, cool, knows what he wants, and at night it’s always fast and hard. But is forever with him what she wants?
Nick – Gorgeous, caring, and sensitive. Something about Nick calls to Luciana. Nights with him are tender and caring. He’s selfless in bed. The shifter bond is strong, but can she handle being a one-man woman?
Lee – The safe and predictable human. He’s handsome, affectionate, and sexually adventurous.

The Raven Witch of Corfu by Effrosyni Moschoudi @FrostieMoss #RLFblog #NewRelease #paranormalromance
Effrosyni Moschoudi, 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 Raven Witch of Corfu by Effrosyni Moschoudi
Genre paranormal romance
Book heat level (based on movie ratings): PG
A terrible evil lurks in the mountain…
Lizzie arrives on the idyllic Greek island of Corfu but far from feeling excited, her heart is heavy. She is here to claim back her twin brother who was kidnapped twenty years earlier on her previous visit. In a cave. By an evil witch.
When Lizzie sees her brother again, she receives the shock of her life. The witch has tricked her… As if this weren’t enough, Stamatis, a handsome local, steals her heart to complicate her life even further…
Why did you write this book?
I write books set on Corfu because I am passionate about the island, and especially the south east coast where I have family roots. As a youngster, I used to spend three-month summer holidays there with my grandparents. I was inspired to write this specific story by the enchanting beauty of the bright green mountains that dominate the skyline there. In case you wonder what they look like, you only have to look at the book cover…It depicts the actual vista in the village of Messonghi where the book is set! It was spooky how my graphic designer picked it among thousands of Corfu images online. I mean, what are the chances? (*chortles*)
What is your favorite genre to read?
Paranormal romance, anything with ghosts or angels in particular.
Who is your favorite character from fiction (not including your own)?
Froddo from The Lord of the Rings because despite being small and loving the comfort of his quiet life, he left it all behind and proved to be incredibly courageous in his efforts to protect all that he loves. His story is truly inspiring and reminds us that in the face of hardship we are all called upon to show our true metal. He was in the company of men a lot taller and bigger than him but proved to be the true ‘giant’ among them.
What are you working on at the moment?
I’m currently writing the first draft of my new paranormal romance. It’s set in Nafplio, a historical town of Greece in the Peloponnese, and features a haunted house. It’s not scary though, and it’s actually a rom com; a moving family tale as well as a romance.
What books will we see from you in coming months?
Other than the aforementioned book, I’m also working on a translation into Greek of one of my published novels. Past experience taught me not to take on too much at the same time, so these two projects will do for now.Where to buy The Raven Witch of Corfu
