Collision Course by Jami Gray
Genre Urban Fantasy
Book heat level (based on movie ratings) RWhen the Arcane Guild requests a last-minute delivery run from Transporter, Rory Costas, she figures earning some extra cash is better than spending her evening binging another DIY show or dodging the pesky Chipmunk Mafia. After handing off a unique engagement present to a happy, well-connected Arcane couple, she returns to what she believes is business as usual, only to encounter a series of unexplained hazards that have her jumping at shadows.
With her business picking up speed, the last thing she expected was to have a formidable member of the Arcane Council drag her into an informal investigation of a horrific accident. Now, with the sexy and intimidating Arbiter, Zev Aslanov, riding shotgun, she’ll have to wade through a mix-bag of money woes, broken hearts, and a legacy of cursed treasure to uncover the truth of what drove a romantic celebration to veer into tragedy.
In her race to expose the vindictive heart at the center of the Family drama, can Rory avoid the inevitable collision with one of the Arcane’s most notorious mages?

Is It True: Beating In Time by MJ Schiller @mjschiller #RLFblog #contemporaryromance
Rock star drummer Levi Cannon returns home after an eight-year absence to the girl he left behind in MJ Schiller’s contemporary romance, Beating In Time. After all these years, do their hearts still beat as one?
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, MJ Schiller. This is a game with yes and no questions. Writers can elaborate on answers as much as they choose.
Beating In Time by MJ Schiller
Genre contemporary romance
Book heat level (based on movie ratings): ROnce upon a time, their hearts beat as one…
Drummer Levi Cannon knows that all the platinum records in the world won’t fill the Remi-sized hole in his heart.
I left Last Chance Beach and Remington Lawson behind when I took my shot at fame and fortune, but I had no idea what I was sacrificing. Now that a fundraiser has brought me home, I want more than anything to win her back. But it’s been eight years. There may be a bridge that connects the island to the mainland, but am I a fool to think that I can build something that will span the chasm of all those years?
Remi Boyd knows that her love for her brother’s best friend has never died.
But what kind of fool would I be to trust him again after he broke my heart? I was a child when he left. Now I’m a woman who’s been a wife and I’m also a mother to the most precious girl in the world. I can’t drag her through some torrid affair, and that is clearly all Levi can offer me.
Music took him away. Music brought him back. But is it too late to recapture what they once had? Or can Last Chance Beach work its magic for them?
Is it true:
this is your first book?
No. It’s actually my 30th!
this book is part of a series?
Yes. Book One of a four-book series.
you lost sleep while writing this book?
Yes. That’s pretty much a given when I’m involved in a book!
you did research for this book?
Yes. A lot of research on music, cancer, Last Chance Beach, clothing, DUI law, automobile accidents, injuries, private security….
some characters in this book are not human? (pets for example)
No. There are no pets involved.
this book has more than one genre?
Yes. You could consider it contemporary romance, rock romance, or just plain romance.
you speak more than one language?
No. When speaking I even have trouble with English, but not with writing. J
you grew up where you live now?
No. While I’ve stayed in the Midwest, I no longer reside in St. Louis, Missouri.
you love to read?
I do, but I don’t get enough opportunities to do that at the moment.
you are never late?
At one point in my life I could say that. Then I had triplets.
you love pizza?
Yes. In all its forms.
you love sushi?
No. In any form.
you have a pet?
Unfortunately, no. Our cat passed last Christmas. But I do have a plethora of grand-puppies and kitties!

Betha’s world is turned upside down when demons invade in Toni’s Binns new adult fantasy book, Choice of the Traveler. With her friends surrounding her, will she able to unlock the truth of her magic in time?
Toni, welcome to Romance Lives Forever. I’m Kayelle Allen, author and owner of this blog. Happy to have you here! Please tell us about Choice of the Traveler.
Choice of the Traveler by Toni Binns
Genre New Adult Fantasy
Book heat level (based on movie ratings): PG-13A war between two worlds. A destiny she can’t escape…
When Betha transfers to her best friend’s university to study, life is looking hopeful.
Her dream to open up her own café could finally become a reality, and all she has to do is study, enjoy nights out, and try not to make her crush on the tasty and intense Self-Defence trainer, Carter, too obvious.
But her world is shattered when demons invade.
As powers Betha didn’t know she had begin to emerge, hopes of stopping the invasion fall to her, and Carter is tasked with keeping her alive.
Betha has no fighting ability, no matter how hard she tries, but everyone she knows is dying.
With Carter and her other friends surrounding her, will she be able to unlock the truth of her magic in time? Or will a cloak of darkness and despair shroud the land and destroy everything she loves?
Interview with Betha
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?
That’s a hard one. I have so many great memories with Angie. It would be a toss-up between the time we went camping with Grandpappy or when Angie surprised me for my birthday. Both were amazing. When we went camping, we chased fireflies until they vanished into the dark. Not to mention, Grandpappy let us stay up as late as we wanted around the campfire. My mom had been a little strict with bedtimes for that’s probably the best one.
What does a perfect world look like to you?
That’s a hard one, I thought these were going to be easier questions. One where there isn’t such a divide between humans and others. Money was tight when I was growing up and I’d love if it single mom’s didn’t struggle as much.
What smell or scent makes you feel safe?
I miss my mom’s flora scent. She planted lilacs outside of the house we had, and smelling them always comforts me. I can picture her face from the last time she cut some of the flowers to put them on the table.
What color looks best on you?
You need to ask Angie about that one. I know she once told me purple makes my eyes pop, bu then she gave me a blue dress to wear once. *shrug*
What’s the first thing you tend to notice about a person?
Are they a nice person. Do they treat others well. That sort of thing. Don’t get me wrong, I see the muscles or the great smile, but personality is key.
Do you feel a need to fix problems that don’t directly involve you?
Yes, if I can help fix a problem I tend to jump in feet first. This has gotten me in some interesting situations. I don’t regret any of them, but I do wish I had listened to some advice I have gotten first.
Do you have pets?
I never had pets growing up and now, it just doesn’t make sense. I once was called ‘mouse’ from someone but that might be a spoiler.
Anything you’d like to say to your author?
Dude, please don’t make my father a bad guy. I’d like to reconnect with whoever he is. *hint hint* Can we please meet him sometime soon?
