Elouise is recovering from a broken heart by filming in a new movie up in Vancouver, Canada. When she meets Kelci, a make-up artist, sparks fly. Will they cross borders to find their happily ever after?
Gabbi, welcome to Romance Lives Forever. I’m Kayelle Allen, author and owner of this blog. Happy to have you here! We’re excited to find out more about your heroine, but first, tell us about You See Me.
You See Me by Gabbi Grey
Genre LGBTQ romance
Book heat level (based on movie ratings): R!Elouise
After a public break-up with my fiancée, I’ve retrenched in Vancouver, British Columbia to lick my wounds and star in a movie. I’m acting as if everything is okay, but then I meet a woman who sees the real me. Dare I take a chance to find real love?
Kelci
I’ve admired Elouise Hynes from afar for years. She’s recently come out of the closet and was dumped just a short time later. I want to offer comfort, but I’m a make-up artist on her movie crew. Can we really form a lasting bond when she lives in LA and I’m staying in Canada?
Know the Heroine from You See Me
Here are some fun questions to help us know your heroine.
It’s late, she’s bored. What does she do?
Elouise is a huge fan of cat and dog videos. She’s very much a small-town girl and would much rather hang out at home than go out in the big city.
What kind of food would she impulse buy if hungry?
She might or might not have a bit of a sweet tooth and might, on occasion, indulge in some ice cream.
Describe the kind of clothes she prefers to wear.
Although the characters she portrays in films often wear dresses, Elouise is very much of the ‘comfort is everything’ motto and she loves her jeans and sweaters.
Does she know how to fix things?
Growing up in rural Newfoundland, Canada, Elouise learned how to build things, fix things, and to knit. She’s independent and is fiercely proud to stand on her own.
She tried to do something and it went badly. Tell us about it.
For Elouise, her first disaster was her first lesbian relationship. She met a woman she loved and finally came out of the closet only to be dumped publicly and humiliated. After that, she swore off love.
How does she act around children she doesn’t know?
Elouise loves kids. She’ll happily get down on their level as she helped raise her younger siblings.
What is she like first thing in the morning?
Having grown up in a fishing village in rural Newfoundland, Elouise is accustomed to early hours. As one of the biggest film actresses in Hollywood, she often has early call times and cheerfully arrives on time, if not early.
Can she use chopsticks?
Although she’s lived in Los Angeles for years, and eaten at many different restaurants, chopsticks are her kryptonite.
Does she drink coffee? If so, how does she take it? If not, what does she drink instead?
Elouise is a true Canadian – she loves Tim Hortons Double Double coffee (black coffee with two shots of milk and two sugars).
What apps would she have on her phone?
Her fitness app is likely her favorite as she enjoys a sense of accomplishment when she hits her targets. She also has an apps to order Tim Hortons and Starbucks and, finally, she has an app to listen to her favorite audiobooks – most especially Canadian post-modern literature.
Android or iPhone?
Elouise loves her iPhone because she can stream old movies on it.
Earrings or unpierced ears?
Her work requires her to have pierced ears, and she loves the teardrop diamond ones.
Tattoos or unadorned skin?
Some actresses might have tattoos these days – great makeup is a thing – but Elouise prefers unadorned skin.
Personal vehicle or public transport?
Growing up in a rural small-town, she only had the family car or truck to get her around. When she first got to LA, she was fine with transit. These days, though, being so famous, she’s more likely to hail a cab. She tries to nab electric or hybrid ones as she’s worried about the environment.
Recycle or toss?
Elouise is an environmentalist all the way. She’ll go out of her way to find a recycling container and prefers her own refillable water bottle.
Thanks for helping us get to know your heroine!

What Alice Treemont gives Jace Constant for dinner, in All About Charming Alice by J Arlene Culiner @JArleneCuliner#RLFblog #Contemporary Romance
In J Arlene Culiner’s recent contemporary romance release, All About Charming Alice, the heroine, Alice Treemont, is a herpetologist who protects snakes and rescues dogs. She lives in a rattling old house in the Nevada desert and cooks vegetarian meals.Jace Constant, a well-known writer, is renting a room in Alice’s house, and he’s an out-and-out carnivore… or at least that’s what Alice thinks: “You look like a carnivore to me, not a vegetarian.” A cannibal, a woman-eater.
True, Jace doesn’t like the desert, dust, dogs, dog hair, and snakes terrify him, but vegetarian fare? Well… he’s willing to try anything!
J Arlene, 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.
All About Charming Alice by J Arlene Culiner
Genre Contemporary Romance
Book heat level (based on movie ratings): PG13Alice Treemont has no intention of falling in love. Living in Blake’s Folly, a semi-ghost town, she cooks vegetarian meals, rescues unwanted dogs, and protects the most unloved creatures on earth: snakes. What man would share those interests?
Jace Constant is in Nevada, doing research for his new book, but he won’t be staying. He’s disgusted by desert dust on his fine Italian shoes and dog hair on his cashmere sweaters. As for snakes, he doesn’t just despise them: they terrify him.
So why does the air sizzle each time Alice and Jace meet? A romance would entail far too many compromises.
Let’s chat about what to eat
Alice Treemont is in her forties. In 2022, she lives in the semi-ghost town of Blake’s Folly, Nevada. She is a vegetarian because she wants to harm no creature. What sort of food does she prepare? How about zucchini fritters made by mixing together whole-wheat flour, eggs, salt, cumin, coriander, and black pepper? They taste wonderful with fresh yogurt and mint.
And why not try squares of buttery oven baked polenta (coarsely ground cornmeal) topped with vegetables that have been roasted with fresh garlic, rosemary, and a few drops of olive oil?
What is the worst meal Alice has ever eaten? Like her author, J. Arlene Culiner, being served a plateful of meatloaf is a nightmare come true.
As for breakfast, Alice loves a big cup of milky coffee, homemade blueberry muffins, coddled eggs (you have to try those), homemade crusty bread and fresh butter. Yummy!
Drinks? Jace Constant loves fine wines, and Alice certainly shares his taste.
As for her animals, Alice feeds the dogs good kibble. The author also feeds kibble to her big beastie, Virgule, and that certainly seems to work perfectly. He’s fourteen years old, but he’s still good at helping me solve grammar problems.

Jamie bares all in Anything You Want by Tina Donahue @tinadonahue #RLFblog #Contemporary
Jamie’s visit to a hedonistic resort to celebrate her 30th birthday turns seriously sexy and life-changing in Tina Donahue’s contemporary menage Anything You Want. And boy-oh-boy does Jamie get what she wants when hot-as-hell billionaires Creed and Tav make certain this is one birthday she’ll never forget… and will cherish forever.Tina, 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.
Anything You Want by Tina Donahue
Genre contemporary menage
Book heat level (based on movie ratings): RAt a hedonistic resort, her indecent cravings are about to be sated…
With the big three-O only days away, Jamie’s had it with dieting, exercise, and being alone. Off she goes to Wicked Desires, a decadent Caribbean resort where clothing is optional, carnal appetites rule, and food, especially chocolate, is celebrated. If only she had a guy to indulge with…
How about two? Billionaires Creed and Tav are checking out ideas for their new video game. The play features a resort where anything goes and an unlikely heroine as the star. Jamie’s luscious curves and sweet vulnerability make her the perfect type to base their game on. Since she’s also in IT—having put her dream to create candy on hold—she understands their lingo.
Hell, their desires are perfectly in tune with hers, whether it’s food play during meals, punishment in the discipline room, or a romantic evening on the beach.
When it comes to sweet delights and these two hunks…who says she can’t have anything she wants?
Let’s bare it all and chat about what to wear
First, what is your name and how old are you?
I’m Jamie. How old am I? Seriously? *sigh* You would ask that. I’m about to hit the big three-O. *sigh*
What is the time period in which you live?
Contemporary.
Considering the role you play in society, what is expected for you to wear?
Since I’m in IT (Information Technology) what I wear would be anything that’s not sexy or revealing.
Do you make your own clothing?
LOL, god no. I can code, but sew? LOL
When you wear something different, who’s the first person who notices?
Well… since I’ve hooked up with Tav and Creed, my luscious billionaires, I guess the answer would be them.
Tell us your favorite thing to wear.
Nothing when I’m around my guys.
When others see you what is their first impression?
Dunno and don’t care. I used to before meeting Tav and Creed. But now, with them, I only care what they see in me.
What do you wear to sleep?
Seriously? When I’m with my two hotter-than-hell billionaires, I don’t wear anything. I’m not crazy. 😊
Does anyone help you dress (other than a lover)?
Nope. Having Creed and Tav helping me undress is good enough.
Have you ever worn:
a uniform
Nope… unless you consider an underwire bra part of a uniform. Then, yeah, I have. Totally hate them, but what are you gonna do for support?
a costume
Sure, as a kid on Halloween.
a disguise
Nope, but during my horrible high school years, I wish I could have.
an outfit for the opposite gender
Working in a so-called ‘man’s field’, meaning IT, is bad enough. I don’t want to look like a guy, too.Tell us what your author wears when writing about you.
Aw, Tina – bless her heart – loves to go totally casch. Sweats in the winter, shorts and tank tops in the summer, no makeup either. Most of the time she doesn’t even comb her hair. She’s my hero.
If your author has a pet, is the pet ever dressed in clothing?
Now that would be cute, but no. Tina had a pet – LKB (short for Little Kitty Baby) – but LKB passed. A sad, sad day. However, when LKB was around there was no way in hell anyone, not even Superwoman, could have made that cat put on anything. If they’d tried, there would have been serious scratching and gallons of blood.

Know the Heroine from Bonding in Buenos Aires by Gabbi Black @GabbiAuthor #RLFblog #Romance
Gabbi, welcome to Romance Lives Forever. I’m Kayelle Allen, author and owner of this blog. Happy to have you here! We’re excited to find out more about your heroine, but first, tell us about Bonding in Buenos Aires.Bonding in Buenos Aires by Gabbi Black
Genre BDSM romance
Book heat level (based on movie ratings): RArgentinian Joaquin Perillo met MacKenzie and Kimberly at a cybersecurity conference two years ago. Another conference in Houston and video chats sealed his attraction for them both. Now they are visiting him in Buenos Aires, and he has so many plans for them—in and out of bed.
Canadian Kimberly is a security analyst by day and a Domme at Vancouver’s premier BDSM Club Kink at night. She can’t wait to see her men again so she can whip them into shape.
Texan MacKenzie is a computer geek who spends all his time with code. That is until he meets the beguiling Kimberly and the fun-loving Joaquin. Suddenly, he’s ready to break out of his self-imposed exile.
The triad have ten days to enjoy their ménage before they have to return to their prospective countries. Because their relationship can’t cross borders or become permanent…right?
Know the Heroine from Bonding in Buenos Aires
Here are some fun questions to help us know your heroine.
It’s late, she’s bored. What does she do?
If it’s a weekday, Kimberly might troll the internet for some cute dog videos. If the timing’s right, she might get on a call with Joaquin, MacKenzie, or – even better – both. Weekends she’ll head to the local kink club. The Domme has regulars who like to play with her, but she’ll also do pick-up play if someone catches her attention and she can vet them.
What kind of food would she impulse buy if hungry?
Almost forty, Kimberly’s conscious of her body and how she feels within her skin. She tends to be careful about what she eats, but she’ll go for a tray of nachos with cheese, salsa, and jalapeños as a treat.
Describe the kind of clothes she prefers to wear.
She works from home as a computer security analyst, so she’s all about the yoga pants and sweatshirt…during the work week. On weekends? She’s a Domme at Club Kink in Vancouver and she’s all about the leather corset, short leather skirt, nylons, and skyscraper heels. She’s also a fan of latex for herself or for her submissives.
Does she know how to fix things?
She lives in her own home and has learned how to fix plenty of stuff using YouTube videos and do-it-yourself instructions on websites. She takes great pride in being independent.
She tried to do something and it went badly. Tell us about it.
Adventurous, Kimberly embraced her kinky lifestyle years ago. She apprenticed under several well-known Doms and Dommes in Vancouver and would never try something in public until she felt proficient and competent. Unfortunately all the planning in the world can’t prevent the inevitable mistakes. She was whipping a new bottom one night, soon after attending her first public event, and the whip wrapped. The whip strike went wide and wrapped around her bottom’s side. The guy was fine, truly, but Kimberly was spooked and it took a lot more practice before she was willing to try again in public. Now, she teaches other newbies.
How does she act around children she doesn’t know?
She’s comfortable with children. She’s talk to the young ones, hold babies comfortably, and chats tech with teenagers. She just…doesn’t want any of her own.
What is she like first thing in the morning?
Kimberly usually works late into the night, so she’s not exactly a morning person. Except when she’s at conferences and on holiday when she wants to pack in as much adventure as she can during those short vacations.
Can she use chopsticks?
She’s grown up in multi-cultural Vancouver and her parents took her to restaurants all over the city and yeah, she knows how to use chopsticks.
Does she drink coffee? If so, how does she take it? If not, what does she drink instead?
She loves tea and will drink coffee on occasion. Do not give her mate – as Joaquin and MacKenzie learned – it doesn’t end well.
What apps would she have on her phone?
She selects apps that streamline her life. She tracks her calendar, keeps in touch with her BDSM friends, and orders food on her phone. That being said, she’s paranoid about the use of her personal data and is careful about anything she adds to her phone.
Android or iPhone?
iPhone all the way
Earrings or unpierced ears?
Earrings. Her favorite pair is mini handcuffs.
Tattoos or unadorned skin?
She’s unadorned. Might consider getting something to remind her of her two men, but nothing so far.
Personal vehicle or public transport?
Vancouver has a good public transportation system that she’ll use, but the acquisition of two men means she needs more to get them around town. Also, hard to haul all her BDSM gear on the SkyTrain…
Recycle or toss?
Recycle all the way. Kimberly strives to buy as few material things as possible and avoids packaging whenever she can. She’s an environmentally minded strong woman who wants to leave the planet in the best shape she possibly can.

Interview with Rick Sanders
Thank you for agreeing to interview with us! Our readers would like to get to know you a bit better, and perhaps read the book your author wrote about you.
What is your favorite childhood memory?
Christmas morning. My younger brother and sister would tiptoe into my bedroom and shake me awake. One year my sister literally tugged my eyelid open, and whispered, “Is it time yet, Ricky?” We weren’t allowed to go downstairs and check out what Santa left until 6 am, and they didn’t know how to tell time, so it was all on me to get Christmas rolling. Our excitement increased once we smelled the coffee brewing because that meant it was close to six.
Now I realize my folks desperately needed that first cup before we came storming downstairs because they’d been up half the night wrapping our gifts and putting toys together.
What bad habits do you struggle to overcome?
I am a control freak. (sigh). I need to know what’s going on around me and have everything planned out. I prefer to act and not just mindlessly react. That’s not always a bad thing, but it kills spontaneity, which is. I guess I’m trying to be more of a go-with-the-flow kinda guy and enjoy surprises.
What smell or scent makes you feel safe?
Freshly brewed coffee definitely puts a smile on my face, but anything with cinnamon reminds me of home. As a kid, my home was my safe place. We didn’t always have a lot of extras, but I knew that no matter what, the people who lived there loved me.
What keeps you up at night?
Cops see a lot of scary stuff. Criminal actions make me angry – especially when the victim is a child or elderly. But what really worries me are vehicle accidents. Black ice, drunk drivers, and speeding are all things that can come out of nowhere and change someone’s life in an instant.
What was your proudest moment?
The way my karate students conducted themselves when they competed in their first state karate meet made me beam. One of our students made it to the final round, and every one of the other kids knelt, by rank no less, behind her in support. That showed me that the philosophy behind karate, and not just the physical aspect of the sport, had sunk in.
Who always makes you smile?
Piper makes me smile – most of the time, lol. I love her compassion and dedication to her students most of all. She’s incredible. I’m learning that it’s okay to let go a little because she always has my back. I know I can trust her.
What is the biggest turn on for you?
Confidence is a huge turn on for me. When a woman walks into a room and doesn’t worry about how expensive her clothes are, or if the diamond on her finger is the biggest, but looks people in the eye and is herself – that’s sexy.
Do you have pets?
We live in an apartment and pets aren’t allowed. But! The second we buy our own home, I want a big hairy monster of a dog! The kind that gives you big slobbery kisses when you get home and lets all the neighborhood kids pet him.
