Baer and the Three Goldilocks by Dee S Knight
Genre Contemporary Romance
Book heat level (based on movie ratings): R
Another erotic fairy tale with Princess Katherine and Prince Cole.
Susan Baer is not only a successful businesswoman and founder of Baer Hugs, health centers for women, she’s also beautiful. But she hasn’t always been that way. She’d spent her teen years lost, lonely and anxious, wondering if she would ever find a place to fit. Now, with those years behind her, she longs to find her special person. Though she’s not the overweight, nearsighted girl with braces anymore, she’s still lonely and there are no prospects in sight to share a happy ever after.
Suddenly, three golden-haired men come into her life. All successful, all gorgeous. And all with their own unique problems. One is too rough and hard in his treatment; one is too soft and wants her to take charge. The last is…well, let’s just say he’s not available.
Will Susan ever find the one man who’s “just right?”
Know the Hero from Baer and the Three Goldilocks
Here are some fun questions to help us know your hero.
It’s late, he’s bored. What does he do?
He runs a successful private investigation company, so he rarely has time to be bored. When he does have time, he kicks back with a beer and watches a game on TV. He’s not much for going out at night—too many crowds and loud music. Too much chance to get embroiled in trouble, which seems to find him.
What kind of food would he impulse buy if hungry?
Pizza. He loves it but has a tendency to order it too frequently. That means extra miles to run.
Describe the kind of clothes he prefers to wear.
He wears a suit to work even though it’s a fitness center and most of the staff dresses casually. When he’s not working, sweatpants and a tee mean it’s downtime.
Does he know how to fix things?
Yes. He’s been a bachelor a long time and doesn’t like to pay for things he can do himself, so he’s learned how to do lots of stuff. The Internet is a great thing!
He tried to do something and it went badly. Tell us about it.
When he first lived on his own, he tried to help his sister wire a new stereo and somehow knocked out the lights to the whole house. After cursing a bit, he called an electrician. It was an expensive mistake but made him determined to learn about wiring.
In this book, he is undercover, disguised as a gay man because that’s the only male employee Susan Baer would hire. He played his part so well she didn’t believe him when he tried to come clean and admit his love. That’s a backfire that set him on his heels!
How does he act around children he doesn’t know?
He likes kids in general. In specific instances, he’s happy to be able to hand them back to their parents and walk away. Mostly, he’s funny and genial, but doesn’t go out of his way to be around children.
What is he like first thing in the morning?
Ready to go. He says he sleeps the sleep of the pure—HA! But he’s a good morning person.
Can he use chopsticks?
Gosh yes. Can’t everyone?
Does he drink coffee? If so, how does he take it? If not, what does he drink instead?
Coffee. Lots of it.
What apps would he have on his phone?
Candy Crush (he’s addicted), Wall Street Journal, a cable news app, ID Check
Android or iPhone?
iPhone
Beard or clean-shaven?
Clean. He might have a beard if he could get through the growth period. Whiskers itch.
Earrings/piercings/tattoos or unadorned skin?
One tattoo—he was a Marine. It’s a right of passage to mark the occasion.
Personal vehicle or public transport?
Personal transport. He loves his SUV.
Recycle or toss?
Recycle. He loves his SUV but he’s not a total jerk.
Thanks for helping us get to know your hero!

The Cinderella Curse by Dee S Knight @DeeSKnight #RLFblog #Romance #FairyTale #Contemporary
In Dee S Knight’s erotic Cinderella, a worldly Prince, a naïve Cindy, and an unassuming fairy godfather come together in a magical HEA ending.Dee S Knight, welcome to Romance Lives Forever. I’m Kayelle Allen, author and owner of this blog. Happy to have you here! Thanks for sharing two tips with us today, but first, please tell us about The Cinderella Curse.
The Cinderella Curse by Dee S Knight
Genre Contemporary erotic romance
Book heat level (based on movie ratings): R
One evening, in a land far away, a wife spins a story for the amusement of her husband. Like the original tale, this contemporary Cinderella is definitely for those who love romance and a HEA. However, she adds a few touches of the erotic. For her husband, you understand.
In this tale, Charlotte dreams of her prince, James, but learns about beauty and love from her fairy godfather, Cooper. She might not lose a glass slipper, but her heart is in danger of being left behind. One thing for sure, by the time our Charlotte arrives at the ball, she’d sure like to know which man is her real Prince Charming.
Two Tips for Editing
Self-editing can be so hard! And most of us can’t afford a professional editor. So here are two tips I use. As a former professional editor, I recommend them!
1) Read your work out loud. I know it sounds weird and you might fee foolish reading out loud, but you will find many problems with your work if you do this. And don’t zip through it, either. Read slowly and take each word into account. When we read to ourselves we often read words we think are there or which we remember being there. You’ll more often see what’s actually there when you read out loud.
2) Don’t rely on spell/grammar check. I’ve found that Word’s Spell Check confuses it’s and its. So, learn by heart some of the most common mistakes and then check them when you read out loud. Here are two common errors I’ve seen in books.
a) If you’re expressing possession, use its. If you are abbreviating “it is,” use it’s
b) If you can substitute “we” in a sentence, you can use XXX and I. If you can substitute “us” in a sentence, use XXX and me.
Example: Jim and I (or we) are playing football.
The game is between Jim and me (or us).No one is going to put down a book if they see a couple of errors, but if the errors are many, it could happen. I would hate to receive a bad review not for my story but for easily correctable mistakes.

The Cinderella Curse by Dee S Knight
Genre Contemporary erotic romance
Book heat level (based on movie ratings):
One evening, in a land far away, a wife spins a fairy tale for the amusement of her husband. It’s not your typical child’s tale, of course, but an adult, erotic version of the classic, Cinderella.
All of the principals are present. Charlotte Gambrell immediately recognizes Prince Charming when she meets her boss, James Clarkson. Unfortunately, the worldly Clarkson barely knows she’s alive. Charlotte’s two hateful supervisors make her professional life miserable by piling on the work and never letting her forget that she has employment only at their pleasure.
Everything changes when Charlotte becomes part of a magazine shoot. The photographer, Cooper Hunt, agrees to perform duties as her fairy godfather. By day, he transforms her life by revealing to the world what he already knows, that Charlotte is an exquisite beauty. By night, he transforms her universe by teaching her about passion so she can attract her Prince. The “real” Cinderella never had it so good!
By the time Charlotte arrives at the ball, she has James on her mind and Cooper in her heart. Which man will she make her Prince?

Regan, Book 1, the Sisters O’Ryan by Dee S Knight, writing as Jenna Stewart @DeeSKnight #RLFblog #historical #romance
1872 Oregon. In Dee S. Knight’s ménage a trois, two unusual men share widow Regan O’Ryan, promising her that in the West, dreams–and especially fantasies–can come true. 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.Regan, Book 1, the Sisters O’Ryan by Dee S Knight, writing as Jenna Stewart
Genre Historical ménage romance
Book heat level (based on movie ratings): R
Joining in the westward migration, Davey and Regan O’Ryan Stone bought an Oregon farm sight unseen, hungering for adventure. Davey regretted the impulse far past the point of no return, and then he died. Now, unskilled and alone on her farm, Regan fears going home a failure–as a daughter, a wife and a farmer. With money quickly running out, she gladly accepts the offer of help from Seth Pratt, an acquaintance from the wagon train, and his friend Haywood Lawrence.
One-armed Seth seeks work at the remote farm at the end of an Oregon trail with low expectations. When he finds Regan, alone and widowed, he tamps down desire. She deserves better than a man handicapped in war, searching for his soul. She’s worthy of someone like his Shakespeare-spouting, best friend, Hay. Nothing could have prepared Seth for Regan’s simple solution–that both men stay. On the farm and in her bed.
QUICK
Do you write more than one genre? If so, what are they?
Yes–in two sub-genre. Jenna Stewart is the name I use for ménage books (with the exception of two space opera ménage books, as Dee). As Jenna, I write historical and shifter ménage romance.
How do you come up with ideas?
I had the idea for the Sisters O’Ryan books (four of them), just kind of overnight. It felt like no real thought at all. Not sure where the idea came from, exactly. But another book I’d thought about for years was also historical. When I was a little girl, I wanted to be a nun in the worst way. My mom worked in a Catholic hospital and I was around nuns a great deal and I admired them. Back in the 1950s, nuns were very different from what we see today, so I wondered about a nun who joined the convent and was content–until she went home to Oregon to empty her mother’s house after her death. There she discovers secrets that have affected her whole life, and desire such as she’d never imagined. She was no longer content. After the passion she experienced, could she return to the convent? My publisher called it Seducing Their Nun–a title I’ve always hated. I wanted to call it Sins of the Mother, and if you give the book a try, you’ll understand why. I know people who have said they wouldn’t read the book because it was disrespectful to the church, but I promise, it isn’t! Anyway, from that book, I created a series of historical ménage romances that were connected by one character in the previous book–like six degrees of separation. The shifter books came about as a lark, just to see if I could do it.
I like ménage romance because it demonstrates that a woman can indeed love two men at the same time. However (sigh), I also think it takes very unusual people to maintain such a relationship. Not too many of them around.
What is the single most important part of writing for you?
Creating an idea that will appeal to readers. And it also has to appeal to me as a writer. I have lots of ideas I think would work for a book but I don’t believe in the concept I would have to write or I simply don’t understand it, so I can’t possibly write it. I want to create work that people like and I would like to read myself.
When did you write your first book?
Gosh! It makes me feel old. As Dee, I wrote Impatient Passion in 2002. I wrote Burning Bridges (as Anne Krist) in 2005. As Jenna, I wrote Regan in 2012. You see it took me a while to come around to focusing on ménage!
FUN
Leather or lace? Leather
Black or red? Red, definitely
Satin sheets or smooth cotton? I know satin sheets have their problems, but what’s sexier than watching a satin sheet slip-slide off a naked body?
Ocean or mountains? Ocean
City life or country life? City
Party life or evening at home? Evening at home, with my guys doing very naughty things
Dogs or cats? Both. I love watching their interactions

Know the Hero from Awards Night from Your Desire by Dee S Knight @DeeSKnight #RLFblog #romance #fantasy #magic #PNR
Fantasy and magic await in Dee S Knight’s erotic romance, Your Desire. These two novellas show how the perfect touch of magic can fulfill fantasies and spark the flame of love. Dee, 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 hero, but first, tell us about the book.Awards Night from Your Desire by Dee S Knight
Genre Fantasy paranormal erotic romance
Book heat level (based on movie ratings): R
Your Desire. A mysterious shop appears in town for one reason: to bring the spice of passion and the thrill of love to one special person. Magic is in more than the item purchased—it’s in the heart of the buyer, often hidden, usually surprising. And after enchantment takes hold? The store fades from sight and memory, only to reappear somewhere else. Maybe in your town….
The Artist and the Director
Derica Meadows, the conservative Director of Accounting at a large San Francisco firm, sees the most beautiful dress imaginable in a shop window. So different from her usual genderless pant suits, she’s swept into acquiring the gown for a formal business affair the next night. But a funny thing happens on the way to her party, in the form of a compelling man and a photo shoot. Suddenly, the normally logical Derica finds herself swimming in a sea of sexual freedom she’d never before considered. The hunk of a artist can satisfy her fantasies, but what will happen to her climb up the corporate ladder in the process? And to her heart?Awards Night
Allison Hayes has always tried to be all things to all people. Need anything done? Call Allison. It seems no one considers that Allison might have needs, too. When she goes home one night to find a man injured in her pasture, she resigns herself to helping out yet again. However, it isn’t long before she finds the roles reversed, as the mysterious man fulfills her deepest desires. By morning, Allison knows that in being the Good Samaritan this time, she’s gotten more than she gave. The question is, was it passion for one night or for a lifetime of love?Know the Hero from Awards Night from Your Desire
Here are some fun questions to help us know your hero.
It’s late, he’s bored. What does he do?
He’s Franklin Nicholas Hughes. He doesn’t get bored. As founder and head of NicHughes Electronics, there’s always work to be done. When he has time off, his mind is always reeling with new ideas and products. Boredom? What’s that?
What kind of food would he impulse buy if hungry?
Nic—or Frank as he told Allison his name was—doesn’t think much about food. He’s one of those eats-to-live people, not lives-to-eat. Currently, he has a housekeeper who leaves him meals at home and a secretary who makes sure he eats at work, or he’d probably never remember food. On impulse, though, he’d buy junk food like Hostess Cupcakes.
Describe the kind of clothes he prefers to wear.
At work he’s a suit kind of guy. For very casual wear, he’ll do jeans and a tee shirt, but most often, he’s in slacks and a button-down shirt collar—with a sports jacket if he’s going out. Casual for Nic means no tie.
Does he know how to fix things?
Yes, especially if it’s tracing down an electrical issue and rectifying it. He can repair things, but at this point, he’d prefer to hire someone else to do it.
He tried to do something and it went badly. Tell us about it.
He decided to get involved in robotics with his company. He jumped in feet first and didn’t lay the groundwork. The project never took off. But he got his act together and took time to learn a few things and a year later, his company developed robotics used to help people with head and limb injuries. Nic doesn’t have a lot of patience, but he learned through this experience that taking time at the beginning can pay off at the end.
How does he act around children he doesn’t know?
Uncomfortably. He’s really not a children kind of guy.
What is he like first thing in the morning?
Ready to go! He’s up at first light for a run and then is ready for work.
Can he use chopsticks?
Yes. He does business all over the world and so has accustomed himself to cultural mores. He might not think about food, but he thinks about his customers.
Does he drink coffee? If so, how does he take it? If not, what does he drink instead?
Yes, black.
What apps would he have on his phone?
Wall Street Journal, iBendPipe, stock market reports, Electrical Calc Elite, TheStreet
Android or iPhone?
iPhone
Beard or clean-shaven?
Clean-shaven
Earrings/piercings/tattoos or unadorned skin?
None of the above. When he might have been inclined, he didn’t want to spend the money. Now, he’s not inclined.
Personal vehicle or public transport?
Personal. Sometimes a driver.
Recycle or toss?
He has no idea. His housekeeper takes care of all that. But he thinks she recycles.
Thanks for helping us get to know your hero!
