    Jamie bares all in Anything You Want by Tina Donahue @tinadonahue #RLFblog #ContemporaryJamie’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): R

    At 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.

    Genre: Fantasy, Gay Romance
    Book heat level (based on movie ratings) R

    Kidnapped and offered up as a prize for the three Venerit champions of the kingdom, Theon is terrified and out of his depth. He’s only human and completely at the mercy of the towering Venerit warriors he’s now forced to share a cell with.

    Mage lords rule the land, but will Theon allow fear to rule his heart?

    Navigating the politics of House Natas and the budding relationship between himself and the champions, Theon discovers enemies lurking around every corner. He’s coming to realize that even though the Venerits hold prestige and honor, they’re just as much slaves to their master as he is. With all of them at the mercy of their Lord, he knows that his champions might not be able to protect him from every threat.

    Will the secrets Theon’s kept tear apart everything he’s fought so hard to claim as his own?

    Zyon is a Kingdoms of Pelas novel featuring a scrawny human, a towering half-orc, a beautiful tiger, and a fierce gargoyle. As well as plenty of surprises along the way. Equal parts unflinching brutality and robust love story, this book isn’t for the faint of heart. Our characters’ journey will continue through the Kingdoms of Pelas series. Zyon features a harem/poly relationship and has an HFN ending.

    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.

    Is It True: Passionate Destiny by Dee S Knight @DeeSKnight #RLFblog #ParanormalRomance

    Is It True: Passionate Destiny by Dee S Knight @DeeSKnight #RLFblog #ParanormalRomanceIn Dee S Knight’s paranormal erotic romance, Passionate Destiny, Aaron’s passion becomes his destiny–for the old house overlooking the river, and for the house’s new owner.

    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, Dee S Knight. This is a game with yes and no questions. Writers can elaborate on answers as much as they choose.

    Passionate Destiny by Dee S Knight

    Genre Contemporary paranormal erotic romance
    Book heat level (based on movie ratings): X

    Dr. Margaret Amis-Hollings, professor of women’s studies at a small New Jersey college, is a woman who confidently knows who she is and what she expects of life. Until she loses her teaching position, and her well-ordered life gets turned upside down. Then, in a subtle stroke of whimsy, fate tosses her a gift in an historic home and property in Virginia.

    Harboring visions of Gone with the Wind, she determines to use River Peace as a temporary reprieve from her troubles. However, images of Tara quickly evaporate when she arrives to discover the reality of her inheritance.

    River Peace has history, grace and style going for it. After only one night, Margaret discovers that it also has a ghost. She’s visited by a male spirit from the time of the War Between the States, who knows how to make a woman feel special. And very loved.

    Aaron Belton meets Margaret when she first arrives in Virginia. He’s renowned for historic renovations on a multitude of properties, but he’s got a special place in his heart for River Peace. He and his family believe the property always should have belonged to them. In fact, Aaron will do almost anything to make that happen. When his passion for the house changes to a passion for the house’s owner, Aaron’s as surprised as anyone. Can he gain both, the woman and the house? To do so, he’ll have to face a spectral being.

    And his own destiny.

    Is it true:

    this is your first book?

    No. This was more like my fifth book when I wrote it.

    this book is part of a series?

    No, although when it came out it was suggested I add a sequel. That’s still bouncing around in my head.

    you lost sleep while writing this book?

    YES!!! I couldn’t get the darn thing written. Most of the time, words just flowed. But this stubborn book fought me every inch of the way. I finally set a firm deadline for myself and said if it wasn’t finished by then, I would put it aside. I finished with a couple of days to spare,

    you did research for this book?

    Not too much. The ghost lived during the American War Between the States and I had to do a little research around battles. But you can’t live in Virginia and not have learned a lot of that stuff. 😉

    some characters in this book are not human? (pets for example)

    No pets but a very loving ghost.

    this book has more than one genre?

    Yes. I usually write erotic romance, but this is paranormal, too.

    you speak more than one language?

    I’m lucky to be able to speak English! I’ve studied both German and French but I wouldn’t get further than “please” and “thank you” in either language.

    you grew up where you live now?

    Nope! Navy brat, but more than that, hubby and I have moved all over, first for his job and then for mine. I’m a very long way from where I grew up!

    you love to read?

    OMG!! If I don’t have a book, I read cereal boxes, ads, directions…something! Reading is like breathing.

    you are never late?

    I wouldn’t save never, but I am usually annoyingly early.

    you love pizza?

    YES!

    you love sushi?

    NO! When we lived in New Jersey, people always wanted to go out for a sushi lunch. They kept telling me that I’d get to love it. Never did.

    you have a pet?

    I wish I did but I don’t. For a good many years, our lives didn’t suit having a pet and now I guess we’re just not inclined. But I do love both cats and dogs.

    Opening Night by Lisabet Sarai @LisabetSarai #RLFblog #NewRelease #MMHistoricalRomance

    Opening Night by Lisabet Sarai @LisabetSarai #RLFblog #NewRelease #MMHistoricalRomanceLisabet Sarai’s MM romance Opening Night imagines a passionate love that defies Victorian mores. With the curtain going up on his new operetta in less than a week and a key cast member out of commission, comic genius William S. Gilbert must turn to dashing understudy Frank Wilson – and fight his disturbing attraction to the talented young man.

    Lisabet, welcome to Romance Lives Forever. I’m Kayelle Allen, author and owner of this blog. Happy to have you here! Please tell us about Opening Night.

    Opening Night by Lisabet Sarai

    Genre MM Historical Romance
    Book heat level (based on movie ratings): R

    Let your heart be your compass

    It’s January 1887, a few days before the opening of the audacious new operetta “Ruddigore”. As if librettist William Gilbert doesn’t have enough to worry about, one of the D’Oyly Carte stars breaks his leg doing the horn pipe. Fortunately, the understudy Frank Wilson turns out to be immensely talented, as well as devilishly handsome. Wilson has set his heart on Gilbert – and he’s not going to be swayed from his course.

    Why did you write this book?

    When I was five years old, my parents took me to a performance of Gilbert and Sullivan songs. I’ve been a devoted fan ever since. This story, which I originally wrote for an anthology of queer alternative history, gave me the chance to imagine Gilbert’s and Sullivan’s world – and how a same-sex love affair might have turned it topsy-turvy.

    What is your favorite genre to read?

    This week LOL? Seriously, I read almost every genre. Indeed, in some ways I am anti-genre, since I view originality as one of my most important criteria in evaluating a book, so the fewer genre tropes an author employs, the better I like it.

    Who is your favorite character from fiction (not including your own)?

    At the moment I’m steeped in the Victorian era, having just finished my Victorian steam punk trilogy The Toymakers Guild as well as Opening Night. So Sherlock Holmes definitely springs to mind, also Jane Eyre.

    Depending on context, I might answer this question very differently the next time I am asked!

    What are you working on at the moment?

    I’m in the process of writing an erotic novella that links two of my fictional worlds. I also have an unfinished paranormal menage romance that has been sitting on my hard drive for a couple of years. I’m committed to completing that this year, hopefully in time for Halloween.

    What books will we see from you in coming months?

    In addition to the erotica novella mentioned above, I will be publishing new editions of several of my romances, including my popular paranormal romance The Eyes of Bast and my contemporary, multiracial menage tale Wild About that Thing.

    Age: I’m 28
    Gender: Male
    Birthplace: Superior, Wisconsin
    Profession: Law Enforcement
    Ethnicity: Caucasian

    Please provide a physical description of yourself.

    I’m 6 ft 1 inch tall, with sandy blond hair and hazel eyes. I’ve been told I have a muscular build.

    Please tell us a little about yourself.

    I’ve been a deputy sheriff for Pinecone Creek for three years. Working in a small town like this and helping the people here, well, I’m living my dream! Martial arts are also an important part of my life-I teach karate at my friend, Rick Sanders’ dojo. The kids’ enthusiasm makes them fun to work with.

    My dad died when I was twelve and left behind my mom, me, and five younger siblings. We all felt her love, but she didn’t have an easy time of it! That’s why sharing my forever woman with my best friend, Rick Sanders feels right. Our wife, the mother of our kids, will never be left by herself.

    Who is the significant other in your life?

    Piper Thomas is my most significant other. She’s the woman who has agreed to share her life with Rick and me. I can’t wait to start a family, find a house, get a big dog and live our happily ever after.

    If you haven’t made a bucket list before, perhaps now would be a good time. Who knows? It might inspire another book. While you’re at it, how about telling us about some of your other favorite things? Here are the questions.

    The official bucket list of Jaxon Cooper: Marry Piper Thomas (hopefully sooner rather than later!); Learn to make homemade pasta noodles; Set up an aquarium with tropical fish (and the fish live); Plant a garden; Ride a rollercoaster; Homestead in Alaska; Go on a cruise-to anywhere; Hold a tarantula without screaming; Watch the Packers win the Superbowl-at the game; Fish for salmon on Lake Superior.

    What is your birth order?

    I’m the oldest, so I’ve always been the one who looked after the other kids when my mom worked. That’s where my love of law and order comes from! Only one person could be in charge, and that was usually me.

    Tell us about your favorite toy as a child.

    I’m not sure if it counts as a toy, or transportation, but my bike. It got me to school, and work. Even more, some days I needed to get away from everyone, so I’d hop on and peddle for all I was worth-wind in my hair, bumping along-it was great. Sometimes I’d pretend my bike was a horse and I’d roll down the street searching for bad guys with my cowboy hat tied around my neck while it slapped against my back.

    Describe your favorite food and how it’s prepared.

    Spaghetti and meatballs! I’m good with any kind of sauce-extra basil, mushrooms, garlic-whatever. The meatballs need parmesan cheese in them too. A nice salad, and garlic bread! I’m there!

    Tell us about your best friend.

    Piper is my best friend. She’s a free spirit with a compassionate heart. In some ways, she and Rick are alike-they both rely on a gym to help them through a bad day. But Piper uses what she’s learned through sports and competition to build confidence in herself and her decisions. When she’s happy she smiles and laughs, when she’s mad, she scrubs greasy grills! I can be myself around Piper. I don’t have to hide what I’m feeling.

    I have two best friends. Deputy, and black belt Rick Sanders is the other. He’s reliable, loyal, by the book, and always in control of himself. Rick doesn’t like to talk about, or show, his emotions. I think that’s why he likes to work out at the studio. Physical exercise helps him get rid of negativity in a healthy way. But I know he always has my back.

    What are two places you would like to visit before you die, and why?

    Lake Superior is probably the next best thing, but I’d like to visit an ocean. I don’t care which one-east or west-but I’d like to bury my toes in the sand, maybe collect a few seashells. Utah, Arizona or somewhere out west is my second choice. I loved playing sheriff as a kid! It would be fun to see if my imagination matches the reality of a desert landscape.

    Where is a place you would never like to return, and why?

    Hmm-I’m not really comfortable in big cities-take your pick of any. No privacy, crowded, noise-lol, cities remind me of my house growing up.

    Who is someone you would like to meet, and why?

    Wyatt Earp! Best sheriff ever! The way he faced down those bad guys-he had real swag.

    Who is someone you would like to avoid, and why?

    My sixth-grade teacher! Man, she was one tough lady. I couldn’t get away with anything in her class. She’d stand by the blackboard and stare down anyone that dared to talk. She’d make a great Wyatt Earp!

    If you could time travel to any date, what would it be, and what would you do there?

    I’d go back to the old west in the 1880’s-be a sheriff with a big badge and a great horse! Ride around, tip my ten-gallon hat to the ladies-yep, that would be fun!

    Meet Pia Manning

    Why did you choose this character for the interview today?

    I’ve always written character interviews for my heroines. I thought the heroes deserved a little love too! I had a lot of fun exploring Jaxon Cooper’s childhood. Knowing that his dad passed and he spent time riding herd on his siblings made it easy to understand why he’s in law enforcement and believes in menage marriages and families.

    Are any sequels planned for this book?

    But of course! Creek 4 is on the clock! Nurse Practitioner Emily Slater moves into Pinecone Creek hoping she has found her forever home. Emily fancies herself a DIY type of woman! We’ll see…

    What genre(s) would you like to write that you haven’t tried yet?

    I love horror stories-creepy, spooky, shivery kinds of tales. My scary stories aren’t erotic romances, so for me, it’s a very different style of writing. A couple of them have been accepted by horror anthologies, but I’ve never written an entire horror novel. You could say that’s on my bucket list.

    What would your readers be surprised to learn about you?

    I’m a monarch farmer. Really! I collect monarch caterpillars, feed and keep them safe in an aquarium with a screened lid until they form a chrysalis. Once the monarch emerges I release it. I’ve posted about it on my website on the North of Hwy 8 page (2022 In Search of Monarchs). There are even pictures!
