    Read Vawn by Jessica E Subject @jsubject #RLFblog #SciFiRomance #MMRomance It was supposed to be one night with no strings attached. But why can’t they get each other out of their heads? That’s what happens to Vawn and Ojokun in VAWN, an MM SciFi Romance by Jessica E Subject.

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

    Vawn by Jessica E Subject

    Genre MM SciFi Romance

    Book heat level (based on movie ratings): R

    Vawn doesn’t need a mate. He’s already established himself universe-wide as a hot name in fashion, while raising his daughter. But he won’t say no to a fling with a hot space racer when he travels to Eurebly to visit his brothers. One night. That’s all he can give. Because his heart shattered when he lost his previous alpha, and he hasn’t been able to repair it completely. He refuses to love someone like that ever again.

    Ojokun survived on Jenegath in order to leave the planet and become the best space racer in the universe. Though he flies with a team, he’s never depended on anyone outside of his jet. He keeps to himself. Has one-night stands, just like every other space racer. But, after a mind-blowing night with the brother of two of his teammates, he can’t stop thinking about the gorgeous omega, or the foreign longing that scares him more than his overly-protective teammates.

    Can Ojokun convince Vawn that he wants more than one night? Or is that all they were ever meant to be?

    QUICK

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

    Yes, I write sci-fi romance and paranormal romance. It can be MM, MF, FF, or MMF. My recent releases have been MPreg.

    How do you come up with ideas?…

    I get inspired by pictures, music, nature, conversations, and so much more. There are actually a lot of parts of my books that were inspired by snippets of conversations. My recent release, Vawn, was inspired by a picture of seven guys walking together in racing suits with their helmets tucked under their arms.

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

    Getting these characters and their stories out of my head. It’s crowded in there, so I keep trying to give them all the stories they deserve.

    When did you write your first book?…

    In grade seven. It was called ‘It Starts With a Kiss.’

    FUN

    Leather or lace? Both. There’s leather and lace in Vawn. ????

    Black or red? Both. And purple, green, blue, gray…

    Satin sheets or smooth cotton? Cotton

    Ocean or mountains? Both. There are no mountains in Vawn though.

    City life or country life? Both – I’ve lived in both, and they each have their advantages and downfalls.

    Party life or evening at home? Evening at home

    Dogs or cats? Both. I only have a dog right now, but I grew up with both, and many more animals.

    Demon on Jackson Street in the Shifter Towers series

    MPreg MLM Paranormal Romance

    Book heat level (based on movie ratings): NC-17

    Jet

    Once upon a time there was a demon who was the best at convincing people to sell their souls. That was me. Is me. And now I have a new assignment, one Father told me would be difficult. I didn’t know what “difficult” meant until I met the young man, someone who has barely anything. Collecting his soul should be easy, right? There are so many things I can give him. Except, he doesn’t believe he deserves a better life. I have to find something he desires before the assignment is given to my brother. Because Crow uses the most villainous means to obtain souls. Lines I don’t cross. And I don’t want to see Toby hurt. There has to be another way.

    Toby

    I’m not like them. I can’t shift into a predator to defend myself, or even into a small rodent to run and hide. The wolf shifters know that every time they rough me up and steal my food. I always wish for a guardian angel to protect me from them. Then one day Jet appears, looking nothing like the angel I’d imagined. But I don’t know if I should trust him. He makes me feel things no other alpha ever has. Dangerous things. Not good when I have to stay focused on my grandmother. I don’t know how much longer I’ll have her around.

    Which book is this in the series?

    This is the fifth book in the series.

    How many books do you plan for the series?

    This is the last book for now. I’m switching to a new series next, but I do want to come back to this series in the future.

    How many books are completed?

    All five are completed and published.

    What characters are the main stars in your series?

    Each of the five books has a different set of male leads, but you can find many characters starring in previous books also making appearances in the later ones.

    What is the overall theme in this series?

    Fated mates. Love knows no boundaries.

    Please list the series titles below, in any order you prefer.
    Bunny Omega on the Run
    Mink Omega in Hiding

    What did you like best about writing this series?

    It was fun to create a whole new world. Plus, it was the first time I’d written MPreg and Shifter stories.

    What other books (not in this series, have you written?)

    I have other series, including Galactic Defenders, Alien Next Door, and The Underground, plus many more individual titles including Made For Her, Beyond Reach, and It Took a Zombie Apocalypse. My next series will be the Kaddim Brothers.

    Mink Omega in Hiding by Jessica E Subject

    Genre MPreg Paranormal Romance

    Book heat level (based on movie ratings): R

    Roan is looking for a way out…
    As a mink shifter omega, I never thought I’d escape the soul-crushing, gang-ruled world I lived in. But, one night on my way home from working at the strip club, the opportunity arose. I needed to find a place to hide, somewhere I could go where no one from this life would ever find me. Someplace I could start over. With my parents deceased, I only had one person from my past I could ask for help. But would he want to see me again?

    Hansol has everything in his life, except his mate…
    After two years of running a successful fitness center with celebrities as my personal clients and friends, one would think I had everything I’ve ever wanted. But I don’t. The one thing I still desire is to have my mate by my side. Something my sun bear keeps reminding me of every day. Sure, I’ve had plenty of omegas and other alphas in my bed, but no one I want to wake up with each morning. That person left my life years ago with no explanation and no goodbye.

    Will they find their way back to each other?
    Then Roan shows up on my doorstep, soaking wet, and with no belongings. Of course, I take him in. But I don’t know how long I have until he leaves again. Can I trust him this time? Can I finally claim him as my mate? Or am I holding onto false hope? Because I know there is something he is keeping from me.

    Know the Hero from Mink Omega in Hiding

    Here are some fun questions to help us know your hero.

    It’s late, he’s bored. What does he do?

    Sleep. He runs his own business. If he’s not at work or doing paperwork at home, he’s most likely sleeping to prepare for another early morning.

    What kind of food would he impulse buy if hungry?

    He eats only clean, healthy foods, but when none of his clients are around, he will buy red bean cake from NJ Fresh Foods.

    Describe the kind of clothes he prefers to wear.

    Moisture wiking or cotton clothes with running shoes for at the gym. And when he’s at home, he wears as little as possible.

    Does he know how to fix things?

    Yes, but he knows it’s faster to hire someone else.

    He tried to do something and it went badly. Tell us about it.

    He hired a new employee for his gym. Due to his high profile clients, he checked the employees social media and ran a background check before hiring them. Everything seemed okay. But, he didn’t know the person ran a fan account, and was stalking one of his celebrity clients. That person was fired as soon as the pictures were leaked online.

    How does he act around children he doesn’t know?

    He tries to avoid them. But, he’s a big softy when it comes to children he knows.

    What is he like first thing in the morning?

    A bear. Literally and figuratively. After his protein shake, the drive into work, and a solo workout, he’s much more personable.

    How does he act around people who don’t know what he is?

    Pretty much everyone in Saramto is a shifter of some sort. So, he really doesn’t have to act any different.

    Will he let a worker handle things or do it himself?

    He’s too busy to do everything himself. He’s learned to delegate since he started his business. Though if someone is sick, he knows how to work every single position in his gym.

    Earrings/piercings/tattoos or unadorned skin?

    Has a tattoo. The letter R. It’s on his chest, near his heart.

    Personal vehicle or public transport?

    personal vehicle

    Recycle or toss?

    recycle and compost whenever possible

    Thanks for helping us get to know your hero!

  • Science Fiction Romance,  Stressing the Hero

    Stressing Gib from Gib and the Tibbar in #PetsinSpace 2 @jsubject #RLFblog #SciFi #Romance

    Today we’re reading about Gib from Gib and the Tibbar in Pets in Space 2 by Jessica E Subject. Tell us about your book.

    Gib and the Tibbar

    Galactic Defenders Series

    A dedicated Defender to the core, Gib is willing to go to any planet the Galactic Alliance sends him. That is, until he’s sent with his squad to Hemera for their Alorama ceremony, far from any threat of Erebus invasion and with no chance for promotion.

    Vilarra has lived on Hemera all her life, working hard in the kitchens of the royal palace until she achieved lead hand. But learning of the universe beyond her world reveals her insignificance and shreds her sense of accomplishment and purpose.

    With the help of a furry, little tibbar, Gib is determined to win the affection of Vilarra, prove to her how significant she is to him and the people who depend on her. But will his personal mission be cut short before he has the chance to win her heart?

    Stressing Gib

    Every hero has a story. He has a background, a history, and a past. This interview allows us to meet a hero and get to know him better, by focusing on how he handles being relaxed, as well as how he handles stress.

    Age: approx. 24 Earth years
    Birthplace: planet Mingo
    Profession: Galactic Defender, part of Hotel squad
    Ethnicity/Species: Mingot

    The Hero’s Relaxed Side

    This hero is at a party. Considering his story, describe the party.
    The hero is actually at a celebration banquet during part of the story, but let’s assume this other party is one where he’s not working as a Defender. Because Gib is a Galactic Defender, the only time he gets to leave the Galactic Alliance carrier ship is when he is on a mission. So, if he’s at a party, it would be in the Defender lounge on the carrier. It would be to celebrate the end of a successful mission, and those in attendance would all be other Defenders. Now, the Defenders consist of multiple species from around the universe, though no one from Earth. At least not at this point in the series.
    How does the hero feel about being this particular party, and what body language is he displaying that gives it away?
    Because his squad is still fairly new compared to many of the others, he likely wasn’t part of the successful mission. He would be leaning against the wall somewhere talking to another squad mate about they find it unfair that they don’t get sent on the good missions. While his words would show his frustration with the Alliance, and his jealousy of the older Defenders, inside he would be full of admiration for the more experienced squads.
    Is he more likely to mingle or remain aloof?
    Unless called over by one of the more experienced Defenders, he would stick to those in his squad and others whom he trained with.
    If he drinks, what is his drink of choice at this party?
    The Defenders have to be ready to leave at a moment’s notice, so there is no drinking of alcoholic beverages on the carrier. But, as you will learn in Gib and the Tibbar, it can happen while they are on a mission.
    How much drink is his usual?
    If he is on duty, or has a rotation coming up, he will not drink. Though, if he does not have to worry about being on duty, he will drink enough to get a good buzz. Never to the point of blacking out.
    The hero figures out where the hiding places are and then goes there. Is it to hide, to avoid someone, or to go drag a friend back to the party?
    In the carrier, he would either go back to his room which he shares with a squad mate. Or, he’d go to the training room to run a simulation. He wouldn’t go to either place to hide, but if he was exhausted, he’d go to his quarters. If he wanted to avoid someone, he’d go to the training room.
    Is he likely to latch onto a friend and stay with him/her and ignore others, or is he the friend that others latch onto?
    Gib is usually the friend that others latch onto. They like to complain about the unfairness of the Alliance to him, especially Zair.
    If someone picked a fight at this party, how is the hero going to handle it?
    Unless it was someone he knew well, he would not get involved. There are plenty of other Defenders to control their own squad mates and friends.
    Is the hero the one most likely to get tossed out of the party, or the one who does the tossing?
    In his squad, he’d be the one who does the tossing. He can read minds unless someone blocks him. But when someone is angry, they don’t hide their thoughts as well. He’d be able to sense the upcoming conflict before any fists were thrown.
    Will he know when to leave, or stay late and make a nuisance of himself?
    He always knows when to leave, though with all the thoughts flying around at a party, he’d likely leave early just to clear his mind, or put up his own block.

    The Hero’s Stressed Out Side

    How does the hero handle it if the cops or some other authority figure pulls him aside when he was blameless in a situation?
    Although he would be calm about it, he would not accept blame for something he didn’t do. He would calmly explain the situation and what really happened.
    How does the hero react to hearing a scream?
    If he was on a mission, he would ready his weapon and head immediately to the source of the scream if he wasn’t already occupied.
    If he sees someone being assaulted, what is the FIRST thing that crosses his mind?
    He would immediately want to help them.
    If he sees someone being assaulted, what is the FIRST thing he does?
    If not otherwise occupied, he would assess the situation while rushing to them.
    This hero attempts to rescue someone and realizes that he is in over his head. The odds are against him and there is no way out. He is going to get his butt handed to him. What does he do?
    He would fight until the very end, hoping another Defender came to help him out.
    The hero runs into the one person from his past he wanted to avoid. He can’t get out of the situation and must interact with him/her in some way. What does he do?
    Gib would slowly sneak farther and farther away from the person until he found an excuse or opportunity to leave.
    Someone younger than the hero is in charge of the situation, and they are handling it badly, perhaps bungling things. How does the hero deal with it?
    This usually doesn’t happen as Gib is one of the younger Defenders, but if it did, he’s the type who would casually and privately suggest alternative ways to handle the situation. If that didn’t work, he would simply take over rather than put his life and the lives of others in danger.
    The hero is in physical pain but must bear up under it and keep going. What does he tell himself in order to get through the situation?
    When he enrolled in Defender training, he knew pain, injury, and even death could result. He would push through it because he knows that his actions save lives.
    What mentor’s words come to mind in a bad situation?
    “You can’t save everyone, but even if you save one being from the Erebus, it’s worth it.” – What his squadron leader tells all of the members
    What lesson from his past gets him through a stressful situation?
    All of the lessons he learned during training as a Galactic Defender get him through each and every mission, whether fighting the Erebus, or simply interacting with the natives of the planet he is on.
