    Baer and the Three Goldilocks by Dee S Knight

    Genre Contemporary Romance

    Book heat level (based on movie ratings): R

    Another erotic fairy tale with Princess Katherine and Prince Cole.

    Susan Baer is not only a successful businesswoman and founder of Baer Hugs, health centers for women, she’s also beautiful. But she hasn’t always been that way. She’d spent her teen years lost, lonely and anxious, wondering if she would ever find a place to fit. Now, with those years behind her, she longs to find her special person. Though she’s not the overweight, nearsighted girl with braces anymore, she’s still lonely and there are no prospects in sight to share a happy ever after.

    Suddenly, three golden-haired men come into her life. All successful, all gorgeous. And all with their own unique problems. One is too rough and hard in his treatment; one is too soft and wants her to take charge. The last is…well, let’s just say he’s not available.

    Will Susan ever find the one man who’s “just right?”

    Know the Hero from Baer and the Three Goldilocks

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

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

    He runs a successful private investigation company, so he rarely has time to be bored. When he does have time, he kicks back with a beer and watches a game on TV. He’s not much for going out at night—too many crowds and loud music. Too much chance to get embroiled in trouble, which seems to find him.

    What kind of food would he impulse buy if hungry?

    Pizza. He loves it but has a tendency to order it too frequently. That means extra miles to run.

    Describe the kind of clothes he prefers to wear.

    He wears a suit to work even though it’s a fitness center and most of the staff dresses casually. When he’s not working, sweatpants and a tee mean it’s downtime.

    Does he know how to fix things?

    Yes. He’s been a bachelor a long time and doesn’t like to pay for things he can do himself, so he’s learned how to do lots of stuff. The Internet is a great thing!

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

    When he first lived on his own, he tried to help his sister wire a new stereo and somehow knocked out the lights to the whole house. After cursing a bit, he called an electrician. It was an expensive mistake but made him determined to learn about wiring.

    In this book, he is undercover, disguised as a gay man because that’s the only male employee Susan Baer would hire. He played his part so well she didn’t believe him when he tried to come clean and admit his love. That’s a backfire that set him on his heels!

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

    He likes kids in general. In specific instances, he’s happy to be able to hand them back to their parents and walk away. Mostly, he’s funny and genial, but doesn’t go out of his way to be around children.

    What is he like first thing in the morning?

    Ready to go. He says he sleeps the sleep of the pure—HA! But he’s a good morning person.

    Can he use chopsticks?

    Gosh yes. Can’t everyone?

    Does he drink coffee? If so, how does he take it? If not, what does he drink instead?

    Coffee. Lots of it.

    What apps would he have on his phone?

    Candy Crush (he’s addicted), Wall Street Journal, a cable news app, ID Check

    Android or iPhone?

    iPhone

    Beard or clean-shaven?

    Clean. He might have a beard if he could get through the growth period. Whiskers itch.

    Earrings/piercings/tattoos or unadorned skin?

    One tattoo—he was a Marine. It’s a right of passage to mark the occasion.

    Personal vehicle or public transport?

    Personal transport. He loves his SUV.

    Recycle or toss?

    Recycle. He loves his SUV but he’s not a total jerk.

    Know the Hero from Rocked By Love by MJ Schiller @mjschiller #RLFblog #ContemporaryRomanceWhen a rock star jumps into the crowd to defend a woman from her abusive boyfriend, he finds himself drawn to the woman’s cousin in MJ Schiller’s new contemporary romance, Rocked By Love. But when he discovers a nasty article about the band in the newspaper she works at, things turn ugly.

    MJ, welcome to Romance Lives Forever. I’m Kayelle Allen, author and owner of this blog. Happy to have you here! We’re excited to find out more about your hero, but first, tell us about Rocked By Love.

    Rocked By Love by MJ Schiller

    Genre contemporary romance

    Book heat level (based on movie ratings): PG13-R

    Rock star Raphael Santiago is haunted by the night his friend Devin died. Maybe because there’s something that no one knows about the overdose. But when he jumps in the crowd to defend a woman at one of his concerts, he finds he doesn’t want to keep the secret from her.

    Mia was a tight little ball of fire, and I was made of combustible material. She misunderstood my intentions the night we met, but I was given an opportunity to explain the next day. I wish that was our only miscommunication, but when I discovered she’d written an inflammatory article about Just Short of Chaos, I thought she was using me to get a story. The hurt that caused made me say some nasty things. Now I may have lost her forever.

    Mia Love doesn’t know if Rafe is truly interested in her, or if she is merely a new plaything for him.

    Oh, there was definitely a heat between us from day one. Sometimes volatile, sometimes scorching in a good way. But I’d been burnt before and I was stronger now. No way was I going to let a rock star break my heart.

    When fate throws them together again, things really start to heat up.

    But will they figure out how to control their passions or will their love story end in ashes?

    Know the Hero from Rocked By Love by MJ Schiller @mjschiller #RLFblog #ContemporaryRomance

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

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

    Rafe would probably be reading non-fiction having something to do with psychology or the American Civil War. He’d also have a stack of autobiographies about people who have kicked addiction.

    What kind of food would he impulse buy if hungry?

    Pizza or burgers.

    Describe the kind of clothes he prefers to wear.

    Conservative and classy. Think J.Crew.

    Does he know how to fix things?

    He’s actually somewhat handy. He and his father have tackled some home repairs together.

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

    He wants to show Mia what his abuela’s tamales are like, so he asks his mom for the recipe. Even though he’s decent in the kitchen, the tamales are a little beyond his grasp. They are good, but not like his mom’s or abuela’s. He has a good sense of humor about it, though, and vows to take lessons with his mom the next time they’re on a break from a tour.

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

    He’s good with kids. His even demeanor and knowledge of psychology come in handy.

    What is he like first thing in the morning?

    Pretty much like he is throughout the day. Even keeled and polished.

    Can he use chopsticks?

    Yes. He picked it up on his travels with his parents at a very young age.

    He takes his coffee black, but limits it to two cups, for the most part.

    Beard, or at least stubble.

    Earrings/piercings/tattoos or unadorned skin?

    He has a tribal tattoo on his shoulder that wraps around to the back and the Japanese symbol for peace on his side at waist level. No piercings.

    Personal vehicle or public transport?

    He has a gray BMW i8 (sports car) which spends a lot of time at his mom and dad’s house.

    Recycle or toss?

    Recycle. His bandmate Jericho would kill him if he didn’t.

    Mermaids Marry in Green by Alice Renaud

    Genre Fantasy Romance

    Book heat level (based on movie ratings): R

    Caltha Dooran is the toughest, fiercest shape-shifting mermaid in the western seas. She has three Clans to rule, and no time for romance. But when a warlock, Jonty, turns up and asks her to come with him to London to capture a water monster, she can’t say no. In London, away from her duties, her attraction for Jonty grows… and they soon fall under each other’s spell. But will his past and her responsibilities pull them apart, or can they find the only true magic, the one that binds two souls together?

    Know the Hero, Jonty, from Mermaids Marry in Green

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

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

    In the past, he would have cast some spells to pass the time, perhaps conjured up a spirit in the shape of a talking animal to have a chat. But now he has given up magic, so he’d probably go for a walk in the dark.

    What kind of food would he impulse buy if hungry?

    Burger and chips. He grew up on a farm and loves red meat, but only if it comes from animals who have been well treated.

    Describe the kind of clothes he prefers to wear.

    Battered leather trousers and jacket, T-shirt, boots. Tough, workaday clothes, that won’t show dirt or blood. Being a warlock, even a retired one, can be a messy business.

    Does he know how to fix things?

    Yes. In the past he would use magic, but he can fix many things even without spells… except his life.

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

    He challenged a trio of hags to impress the woman he loved. It went wrong, the hags killed and ate her. He has lived with the guilt ever since.

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

    He loves children and is comfortable around them. He’ll play with them and teach them stuff.

    What is he like first thing in the morning?

    Like most warlocks and witches he’s a creature of the night, but being a hunter he’s trained to get up early to catch monsters… or round up the sheep on his parents’ estate.

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

    Warlocks hide their powers from ordinary humans. He will act natural, but will tell people as little as possible about himself.

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

    He’ll do it himself. He hates it when he is unable to do something and has to get another man to do it.

    Earrings/piercings/tattoos or unadorned skin?

    No ornaments or tattoos for him – warlocks shouldn’t draw attention to themselves.

    Personal vehicle or public transport?

    Motorbike.

    Recycle or toss?

    Recycle! Warlocks and witches respect nature and would never litter.

    Genre Medieval Fantasy Romance

    Book heat level (based on movie ratings): PG

    What do dragons, knights and romance have in common? Grab a copy of multi-published author Daryl Devore’s medieval fantasy romance – The Last Dragon and discover the answer.

    A sorcerer craving dominance merged with a dragon, the power overwhelmed him causing him to split into three dragons. Demora ruled thought, but was lost in time. Yidithe offered protection, shining like the light of the sun. Ayrradex craved chaos, revelling in destroying souls.

    Many knights died, attempting to slay the devil beast. One knight, Prince Hawkyns, did not fear death. He’d lost everything. Away on a mission when Ayrradex attacked his father’s kingdom, Penrythe, Hawkyns returned to find his noble father – feeble and defeated. His wise mother – crazed. His beautiful wife and unborn child – dead. Only a pile of ashes remained for him to bury. He knelt before his King and vowed to slay the devil-beast or be slain.

    Derry was born with powers that terrified her parents. They delivered her to a nunnery to be raised in secret. Jathe, a wise sorceress, discovered the young girl and trained her to one day use the secret hidden in her soul.

    Legends spoken around campfires hinted the sole way to destroy Ayrradex was when the hearts of a knight and a golden dragon became one. But after a vicious battle with Ayrradex, the golden dragon was thought to be dead.

    Can Prince Hawkyns’s bravery and Derry’s powers end the reign of the devil-beast’s terror?

    A simple tunic and leggings, easier to train in than the awkward suit of armour and less pretentious than formal court attire.

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

    When he had lived 12 summers, the devil demon dragon, Arraydex, attacked and he grabbed his sword and attempted to fight it. Being too young and too weak, the dragon quickly bested him. He was saved by…spoiler – can’t tell you.

    Necktie/cravat or open shirt?

    What is a shirt? He wears a tunic when training with the other knights.

    Natural hair. Kept at proper length when at court, but often it is shaggier when he is away on long military campaigns.

    IrishMist “Ivy” Vaughn has been fighting to stay alive since the age of twelve, trained with warrior skills to be whatever is demanded of her. No permanent home. Living out of a duffel bag. Changing personas at the ring of a phone. Spencer, Colorado was supposed to be a place to bury her past and start over. Will they let her walk away?

    The only thing a healer and an assassin have in common is death.

    Bernadette Jones has been making up stories since she learned to read on her daddy’s lap. She has imagined casts of characters everywhere she’s called home: Texas, Oregon, South Dakota, Nebraska, Illinois, Massachusetts, and now New York.
    Books and music filled her life as she, her dad and two brothers traveled the country. She would sit in the back seat of the car (her older brother always got to ride shotgun), listening to the current music on the radio, looking out the window and spinning a story based on a phrase or word she’d heard in the lyrics. As you can imagine, traveling the country the music changed from state to state, as did the stories. To this day she loves all genres of music, and books.
    After a career in corporate writing, she’s finally decided to settled down and put pen to paper doing what she loves. Living the dream in her NYC apartment with her canine companion, she’s is bringing her stories and characters to life.
