    Journey to her Dreams by Iris Blobel

    Genre: Australian Contemporary Romance
    Book heat level (based on movie ratings): PG
    There must be a reason for her dreams…
    Hollie Anderson, a young woman living in Tasmania, is content with life, even more so since she has met Jeremy. However, she has been having a recurrent dream that impacts her daily life, as well as her relationship, a dream that eventually takes her on a journey to Ireland.
    Samantha Shaughnessy enjoys the success as Head of Advertising for a popular magazine in the Irish capital Dublin. Married to Padraic, she thinks she loves her husband, but when she meets Hollie under unusual circumstances, she needs to face the truth–and not just about her marriage.
    When both women meet and find they share an unexpected tie to the past, will they finally be able to move on into relationships with the men they love?

    Is it true:

    this is your first book?
    No, but it was my first book published by a publisher … and, yes, I now have the rights back, and I revised and edited the story again before publishing it myself.
    this book is part of a series?
    No
    you lost sleep while writing this book?
    No, not at all.
    you did research for this book?
    Coincidentally, yes I did travel to Ireland. I believe I was able to add little things that give the story the bit of “extra”.
    some characters in this book are not human? (pets for example)
    No.
    this book has more than one genre?
    No, it’s a contemporary romance.
    you speak more than one language?
    Yes, my native language is German. I necessarily don’t “speak” other languages, but I did learn French and Spanish as well.
    you grew up where you live now?
    I grew up in Germany and immigrated to Australia in 1996. I now live approx. 100 km west of Melbourne.
    you love to read?
    Yes, I just wish I’d have more time to read.
    you are never late?
    Germans are well known for their punctuality. For me, it can be a friend- / relationship breaker if you’re late!
    you love pizza?
    YES.
    you love sushi?
    Never had it, so I wouldn’t know, but not really something I’d choose to eat.
    you have a pet?
    We have two budgies and a spoilt mini fox terrier called Rocco.

    Taken as Theirs by Kryssie Fortune

    As a breeder–one of the few fertile women left in a ruined, plague-ravaged world–Cassie would fetch a handsome price at auction, and selling her to the highest bidder was exactly what her captors had in mind… until two fearsome beasts decided to take her for themselves.
    Eli and Dane have chosen Cassie for their mate, and when she makes a foolish attempt at escape she quickly ends up tearfully promising obedience as her bare bottom is soundly and shamefully punished. Her body’s response to their stern dominance cannot be denied, however, and it isn’t long before she is screaming out her intense, helpless pleasure as she is roughly and thoroughly claimed. But will Eli and Dane’s pack accept a human girl or will Cassie be an outsider forever?
    Publisher’s Note: Taken as Theirs includes spankings and sexual scenes. If such material offends you, please don’t buy this book.

But the more he understands Harper’s dreams and desires, the more he wants to be the man to make them come true. The trauma in both their pasts means neither can fully trust the other. They must find the courage to love, to trust, and to accept, or yesterday’s sorrows will keep them apart.
    She can’t handle one more lie. He can’t tell the truth.

What will it take to convince Roseanne his home is where his heart is?

    Roseanne Meadows knew better than to fall in love with a Yankee carpetbagger, but it’s too late now. What’s done is done, and the sooner Scott Ramsey packs up his toys and goes home to his venomous family, the better. Faced with an unexpected life-altering situation, in true Texan style, the owner of The Yellow Rose B and B will do whatever it takes to survive, even if it means leaving the only place her heart has ever called home.

    Caught in Cross Seas by Sharleen Scott

    Only a city girl would think her secret safe in a small town.

    When bakery owner Harlie Cates escaped her abusive husband in Seattle she thought Angel Beach, Oregon was the perfect hiding place. Then Clay Masterson moved in next door. She isn’t looking for love. She doesn’t even date. And she doesn’t want a country music superstar tossing her into his spotlight. So, why can’t she stay away from him?

    Clay Masterson isn’t in town for the chowder. He’s searching for his supposedly dead father, who was accused of murder in Montana, and the grapevine says he’ll find him near Angel Beach. If Clay finds him, he’ll thank him for being an exemplary father for the ten minutes he spent at it, and alert the authorities. Harlie offers to help, believing Clay’s motivation is love, not vengeance.

    But Clay isn’t the only one searching for his father. Someone knows who committed the murder and knows Harlie’s secret too. He plans to clean up these problems, once and for all. Two, or maybe three, birds with one stone.

    Top Blogger of 2018: Brenda Sparks

    #Romance Lives Forever on #RLFblog Meet the top bloggers @NJWaltersauthor @Brenda_Sparks @VickiBatman As I looked at this list of names, I wondered if people would think I was only giving out this award to friends. That’s true, partially. Each has become a friend over the last year or has been for a long time. Hosting this site gives me a unique opportunity to get to know many authors. But the statistics speak for themselves. When I pulled year long stats from the backside of the blog, these were the names that floated to the top.

    Brenda Sparks made the list as top blogger due to having the most page views throughout the entire year. She also promoted the blog itself. I was tickled when I looked at the stats and saw her name right at the top, because in my mind, she certainly deserved the appause. Please do visit her post and check out her book, Alpha Pair. Brenda wins a year of cover ads on RLF.

    Below are the titles and links to the top ten posts of the year. There are some interesting statistics I’d like to point out.

    Of these, two were from the Cancer Awareness series (Vicki Batman and Iris Blobel). Four were paranormal romance. Four were historical. Two fantasy, and two were LGBT. If these don’t add up to ten it’s because some posts covered more than one genre. I invite you to click and visit each of these. They will be well worth your time.

    Returning for Valentine’s by Victoria Pinder

    Victoria Pinder
    If two people love one another but neither of them knows about another’s feelings, can there ever be a happily-ever-after?

    Beth Corsini has been in deeply love with Nathan for as long as she can remember. But they were never anything other than friends. Until one night, he just took off.

    The only thing left for Beth to do is to try her best to move on. Date other men. She believes that engaging in speed-dating can help her get over Nathan and be happy again. Until none other than her childhood love shows up at a Valentine’s Day event, and that illusion is shattered.

    Nathan Sommers loves Beth more than he’s ever loved anyone. But his mother is against the union. Nathan belongs with a heiress, she believes. So he vanishes. Until one Valentine’s Day, him and Beth are reunited.

    Can their love withstand the test of time and other challenges posed? Set in Miami, Flordia, Victoria Pinder’s “Returning for Valentine’s” is heartfelt, gripping and is sure to make more than a few readers swoon!

    The chance to start life all over with the help of a stranger.
    Twenty-two-year-old Sophie Levesque has been guardian to her eight-year-old sister Mia since their mother’s death a few years ago, and it hasn’t been easy. Luck comes their way when they inherit a small house in Hobart. Problem is, though, they don’t know and have never heard of Clara Bellinger, the testator. Settling into their new life, Sophie is still afraid it’s all a mistake.
    Mark O’Connor, attorney in Hobart and the bearer of the good news for Sophie and Mia, curses himself for the lack of information about the testator. However, researching the questions gives him an opportunity to see Sophie again, and the more time he spends with the two, the more he realises that his life is missing something. And it’s not his casual lover Linda.
    But then there’s Zach, Sophie’s sexy neighbour from across the road… and a very good friend of Clara’s.
    Will unravelling the mystery unravel Sophie and Mark’s promise of a future?

    What Happens in Sturgis

    Tracey Cramer-Kelly#FreeBookFriday Valentine's weekend free books Victoria Pinder @victoriapinder #FreeBook #RLFblog
    Mixing business with pleasure…
    For Vince, general manager of Dream Machines Custom Motorcycles, the annual trip to the world famous motorcycle rally in Sturgis, South Dakota is never about just business. Every year there are plenty of cool bikes and hot women, both of them ready for a laid-back joyride. But this year the boss sent along the company’s newest hire—a woman. And Tori is all business.
    Kissing is overrated…
    She may manage the order process at Dream Machines, but with a degree in biology, Tori isn’t just another pretty face. As Vince and Tori become a finely-tuned team in the sales booth, he also discovers she’s not as straight-laced as he’d thought. Then late one night he reveals a secret he’s never shared with anyone—and the reason he doesn’t like kissing.
    Never too late to learn…
    The fact that Vince avoids kissing has never stopped him from getting what he wants from women. But Tori is determined to teach him what he’s been missing: Slow, sweet, mind-blowing, heart-racing kissing. But when their fragile new romance is threatened, will Tori kiss him goodbye? Does what happens in Sturgis only last as long as the rally? Or can Vince find it in himself to make the kissing last forever?

    Top Chatters for the Month

    The person who gets the most comments in a month is not always the person who gets the most page views. For that reason, I instituted the Top Chatter Award. This award is for the bloggers who receive the most comments.
    This month’s winners are:

    Collette Cameron
    Robin Michaela

    Who among us doesn’t have a veteran in the family?
    Please support our veterans and their families personally
    and in your communications with Congress.

    #FreeBookFriday

    Readers – bookmark the blog and come back every day for good books. On Fridays, every book we offer is free. Look for the #FreeBookFriday hashtag on Twitter and Facebook.

    Authors, do you offer subscribers a free book for signing up to your newsletter? Do you have a permafree book or a book on KindleUnlimited? Here’s your chance to reach new readers in 2018. Romance Lives Forever now offers a free book section. #FreeBookFriday will offer 5 books each week all year long. Each week, 4 spots will be free.

    How do you take part? It’s easy. All you need to send is the cover, a blurb, and a link to get your book. When you sign up, your confirmation form will have a link to add your book info.

    When someone clicks the link you provide, they’ll be taken directly to your site. You’ll have the double opt in that newsletter services require. No worrying about adding a list downloaded from another place. You’ll get subscribers directly. Easy peasy.

    There’s a 5th paid spot for $5. It comes with a week-long cover ad spot on the front page (upper right corner). Your free book will also get a pinned spot on the RLF Facebook page, and a cover spot on the RLF #FreeBookFriday Pinterest board.

    Be a Guest Author

    Romance Lives Forever uses Signup Genius to schedule guests. The system also reminds authors of their visit. One post is available each day. Once you choose a date, no one else will be able to take it. You can sign up for more than one visit; however, each visit must be in a different month.
