    Tina Donahue, welcome to Romance Lives Forever. I’m Kayelle Allen, author and owner of this blog. Happy to have you here! Please tell us about Hard Lust.

    Hard Lust by Tina Donahue

    Genre: Paranormal reverse harem
    Book heat level (based on movie ratings): Could be R, could be X… there are 3 guys to one woman. However, this isn’t erotica, so I’m not sure.

    Three sexy demons—what’s a girl to do?

    Don’t ever trust a demon. Unfortunately, Megan has learned that lesson too late. The deal she made to save her sister’s life––has landed her in Hell temporarily and about seventy years early. And now she has three sexy demons trying to tell her what to do.

    Nope. Not going to happen.

    These guys have never had to deal with such defiance. Andros figures she’s due for some erotic discipline, which he’ll happily provide. Racan’s pure alpha, his hardcore plans include bondage and submission. Quiet yet intense, Vespar expects endless kink to spice up their carnal play.

    Who would have ever expected she’d end up falling for them? Too bad demons can’t be trusted…because someone is trying to kill the magic and threatening her stay in this lusty world.

    QUICK

    Do you write more than one genre? If so, what are they?…

    I write and have written in every genre (and subgenre), including paranormal, urban fantasy, suspense, chick lit, romcom, werewolf/vampire, high heat, sweet/clean, contemporary, Regency, historical, adult, new adult, reverse harem, ménage, forbidden romance, sci-fi, dark mafia, military, cowboys, and sports.

    How do you come up with ideas?…

    They pop into my head unbidden. I could be reading the news and think, ‘What if this happened?’ Or I could be driving and listening to the radio and a song lyric will make me think, ‘What if this happened?’ From there, the characters and plot begin to unfold.

    What is the single most important part of writing for you?…

    That’s a hard question. I’d say there are several essential parts, including actually writing (sitting down and doing it), research, and rewrites.

    When did you write your first book?…

    I was nine. I called it Dimples the Adventurous Flea (and illustrated it). Dimples, the hero, was a flea who jumped from dog to dog in his quest to ‘see the world’. On a French poodle, he was in France. On an English bulldog, he was in England (you get the drift). After I wrote and illustrated it, I made copies and sold them around the neighborhood to my friends’ parents. My first book tour. 😊

    FUN

    Leather or lace? Lace

    Black or red? Red

    Satin sheets or smooth cotton? Smooth cotton (have you ever slept on satin sheets? They’re godawful)

    Ocean or mountains? Ocean

    City life or country life? Actually neither. I prefer the suburbs

    Party life or evening at home? Evening at home

    Dogs or cats? Cats hands down. Cats rule!

    Tina’s an Amazon and international bestselling novelist who writes passionate romance for every taste – ‘heat with heart’ – for traditional publishers and indie. Booklist, Publisher’s Weekly, Romantic Times and numerous online sites have praised her work. She’s won Readers’ Choice Awards, was named a finalist in the EPIC competition, received a Book of the Year award, The Golden Nib Award, awards of merit in the RWA Holt Medallion competitions, and second place in the NEC RWA contests. She’s featured in the Novel & Short Story Writer’s Market. Before penning romances, she worked at a major Hollywood production company in Story Direction.

    On a less serious note: she’s an admitted and unrepentant chocoholic, brakes for Mexican restaurants, and has been known to moan like Meg Ryan in When Harry Met Sally while wolfing down tostadas. She’s flown a single-engine airplane (freaking scary), rewired an old house using an ‘electricity for dummies’ book, and is horribly shy despite the hot romances she writes.

    Hard Lust by Tina Donahue

    Genre: PNR Reverse Harem

    What is your go-to meal when you dine out?

    Anything, and I do mean anything, Mexican. It’s my hands down fave. I love that cuisine to the exclusion of everything else. Even the chips and salsa at the beginning of the meal makes my blood race.

    Describe the perfect vacation.

    Being in a balmy locale (think Caribbean) with a caressing breeze, sun, the air scented by flowers and the sea, and me with a book. No people. No noise. No loud music. No barking dogs. Ahhh, such solitude is like heaven for me.

    Tell us about your favorite toy as a child.

    I liked dolls, but craft projects sent me over the rainbow. Anything I could create, color, put together, then wear (ala jewelry) kept me busy for hours.

    When you read for pleasure, what kind of books do you choose?

    Believe it or not, I don’t read a lot of romance during my time off, unless it’s from my fave authors. Those are usually erotic romcoms and PNR. Other times, I love dark, dystopian stories like The Handmaid’s Tale by Atwood. Or my all-time fave The Millennium Trilogy (The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, The Girl Who Played with Fire, and The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet’s Nest) by Larsson. I love books that make me think and consider what’s going on in the world. A plot with substance to it.

    What kinds of things do you read when you’re researching a new book?

    I read everything I need to in order to become an ‘expert’ on whatever I have in the plot. For example, in Hard Lust, my heroine sold her soul to save her sister from a medical catastrophe that she couldn’t afford when it came to treatments, ongoing medications, etc. I had to learn what the state offered in terms of helping out. It’s little things like that you have to be careful about. If you get it wrong, some fan will call you up on it and rightfully so.
