Genre Contemporary Christmas Short
Book heat level (based on movie ratings): G
Collapsing in front the biggest department store in the city on one of the busiest days of the holiday season was not how Giselle imagined her day. Cold and hungry, she trudged through her daily existence wondering if she’d ever find happiness again.
Teenagers. Ethan loved working with them and turning their raw musical talent into something beautiful and rewarding, but that didn’t fill the black void in his soul.
Like fate, the songwriters’ muse nudged Giselle and Ethan together. But can Giselle overcome her fears and can Ethan get past the darkness that surrounds him, so they can find love?

Here are some fun questions to help us know your heroine.
It’s late, she’s bored. What does she do?
Plays her flute. A gift from her Nana.
What kind of food would she impulse buy if hungry?
At the moment, she is always hungry. She fantasizes about hot chicken noodle soup.
Describe the kind of clothes she prefers to wear.
Warm wooly sweaters and thick comfy socks.
Does she know how to fix things?
No. If she could, the first thing she’d fix is her life.
She tried to do something and it went badly. Tell us about it.
Life. Circumstances overwhelmed her and now she is living on the streets.
How does she act around children she doesn’t know?
Tense. She’d like to run and hide. She doesn’t want to hear their taunts. Her life at the moment is not what she’d planned.
What is she like first thing in the morning?
Scared about facing another day. If she buskers at a corner, will anyone donate? Can she make enough to find shelter and food for another night?
Can she use chopsticks?
It has been so long that she doesn’t know if she still can.
Does she drink coffee? If so, how does she take it? If not, what does she drink instead?
Hot coffee with lots of cream and sugar. That makes it sweet and fills the coldness in her stomach.

She has no phone. Phones cost money and every cent she gets is put towards food and shelter.
Android or iPhone?
When she has enough money to purchase a phone, whatever kind Ethan has.
Earrings or unpierced ears?
Pierced but no earrings to wear. They were stolen.
Tattoos or unadorned skin?
Unadorned.
Personal vehicle or public transport?

Neither. Keep everything. It might become useful later.

Know the Heroine from Sweet Love, Bitter Fruit by Lyndell Williams @laylawriteslove #RLFblog #urbanromance #contemporaryromance
Lyndell Williams, 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 the book.Sweet Love, Bitter Fruit by Lyndell Williams
Genre romance
Book heat level (based on movie ratings): R
From Lyndell Williams, author of My Way to You, a new novel about keeping the flames of love and passion burning in a world determined to snuff them out.
Harlem lawyer Marcus Kent fights for justice while preserving a stable, passionate marriage with wife, Toni. Smart and confident, he has it all together—that is until his world turns upside down.
Not only is someone stalking his sister, but an intern at work is also getting too close for comfort.
On top of all of that, Toni’s renewed infertility obsession causes them to continually argue, adding more strain and cooling off their steamy union.
Struggling with insecurities and yearning to have a child, successful psychologist Toni Kent looks to her husband for support. Unfortunately, relentless distraction and stubbornness prevent Marcus from being there when she needs him the most and jeopardizes their happy home.
After multiple failed in vitro attempts, Toni is ready to try again, but Marcus is done. He doesn’t want another headache or more heartache. Will infertility tear this dream couple apart?
Know the Heroine from Sweet Love, Bitter Fruit
Here are some fun questions to help us know your heroine.
It’s late, she’s bored. What does she do?
Ever since Toni married Marcus, boredom became nonexistent. They have a very full life together. If she is not helping clients at her private therapy practice, she is helping at the community center, travelling or spending couples time with Marcus. She makes sure to align their schedules so there is plenty of that.
What kind of food would she impulse buy if hungry?
Toni’s mother, Whitley raised her to be conscientious about everything that goes into her mouth. So, she rarely eats on the fly.
She packs her fridge and cabinets with health, organic foods. There is very little processed stuff. She plans every meal so it doesn’t have to be. If she finds herself stuck out there with a growling stomach, the bag of unsalted almonds and vegan protein bar will do just fine.
Describe the kind of clothes she prefers to wear.
Toni’s fashion flare reflects her Westport, CT upbringing and time living in Greenwich Village before moving uptown to Harlem when she married Marcus. She has a walk-in closet filled with designer labels to don for work, professional networking and partying. Whether a cocktail party or fundraising event for Marcus’ center, she is red bottom ready.
When she is home, feeling sexy helps her shed the day’s tensions. Clients dump a lot on her, so walking around their uptown apartment like a seductress with all of Marcus’ attention hits the spot for her ego. She floats around in her silk cami pant set, knowing is the one.
Does she know how to fix things?
Marcus is pretty competent when it comes to keeping things at home working. Toni concentrates of making sure he and the family are coping. So as far as fixing anything, she is really good at repairing a tense situation—that is—unless she is the one causing the tensions. She is the most stable person in the Kent family, but she is not a saint.
She tried to do something and it went badly. Tell us about it.
Toni felt really badly about how her need for some space impacted her best friend Regina. Sometimes, things are too hard to handle for even the strongest person. When the news that her sister-in-law was having another baby while she struggled with infertility tore into her, Toni headed for the hills. The guilt that she wasn’t there for Regina plagues her.
How does she act around children she doesn’t know?
Toni and Marcus are childless, so their niece Justine is the only kid she consistently spends time entertaining. She likes kids, but when she is at the center, she is helping the adults, so she is not around them too much. She wants a baby, and will make a great mother, but kids are not a major factor in her life.
What is she like first thing in the morning?
Toni loves her bed and fights hard to keep from being separated from it. She will snuggle deeper under the blankets while Marcus jumps up and prepares for his run. She calculates when he should return, and stays in the cushy warmth until the last possible minute. It is her sanctuary. When she has no other choice, she slips from the sheets and heads right for the coffee machine. No one better speak to her until that cup of brew is empty.
Can she use chopsticks?
Toni, Regina and Simon usually have a grand old time watching Marcus struggle with chopsticks. She shakes her head as her loving husband tries to balance them in his big hands, finally lifting some food to his mouth while he grabs a fork.
Does she drink coffee? If so, how does she take it? If not, what does she drink instead?
Coffee is on tap throughout Toni’s day. She starts at the machine on the kitchen counter and continues with stops at the local coffee shop near her office. She likes it with half-and-half and no sugar. She refuses to drink that Seattle stuff. How anyone can call it coffee is beyond her.
What apps would she have on her phone?
Toni’s phone is loaded with social media and calendar apps. She loves posting images and gliding down timelines for the latest fashion. She is a makeup and hair tutorial junkie, watching videos between clients.
Android or iPhone?
Marcus brought Toni to the iPhone darkside when they married. For her, it was easier to communicate with him. Facetime during business trips is a must.
Earrings or unpierced ears?
Toni rocks hoops with her bob. She has four piercings in each ear from when she work rows of them and diamond studs during her teen years. They drove her mom crazy. Now, she will wear only one pair unless she is feeling nostalgic.
Tattoos or unadorned skin?
Toni has a needle phobia. The rebellious teen she was, she probably would have gotten a tattoo if she wasn’t so scared of being stuck.
Personal vehicle or public transport?
New York City traffic is not a joy to navigate. Toni will hop a train or hire a car before getting behind the wheel. She occasionally drives when going to visit Marcus’ parents or when they go for a weekend away from the city.
Recycle or toss?
She better recycle. Marcus is a drill sergeant about it.

Faye Hall, 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 heroine, but first, tell us about the book.Vanity and Humility by Faye Hall
Genre Australian Historical Romance
Book heat level (based on movie ratings): R
What if vanity threatened to destroy the only love you’ve ever known?
Ethan Brant is on the hunt for a murderess who is seducing her victims and stealing collections of diamonds from each one. When the woman he suspects becomes his father’s newest wife, Ethan’s fears multiply and he agrees to travel with the newlyweds to Australia to help expand his father’s business interests, and protect his only remaining family at all cost.
Arriving in Rockhampton, Ethan never loses his suspicions of his father’s bride, especially when more bodies begin turning up, each a similar age to his father and all robbed of their diamonds. If he could only find something to tie all his evidence together, he could finally put an end to this case. What he finds instead is an intriguing young woman swimming on his father’s property who sends his emotions into turmoil.
Cady Eldon’s history with men taught her it was foolish to lose her heart to one. When she meets Ethan down at the lake though, she couldn’t ignore the fire he burned inside her, making her long for the feel of his skin against hers. Discovering he was in fact a police detective, she becomes intrigued. Why would a man so wealthy, and with such a noble career, want to live so humbly?
Her attraction to this man, and her interest in the murder case he was working on, pulls them together on a journey north where they become entangled in the manipulative web of the murderess Ethan is chasing.
As their affair continues, Ethan and Cady learn just how cruel one woman’s vanity can be and how she will stop at nothing to get the riches she believes she deserves.
Will their love survive, or will they fall victim to the greatest sin of all?

Know the Heroine from Pets in Space® 4 Star Cruise Idol’s Curse by Veronica Scott @vscotttheauthor #RLFblog #SciFi #romance
Veronica Scott, 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 heroine, but first, tell us about the book.Pets in Space® 4 Star Cruise Idol’s Curse by Veronica Scott
Genre Scifi romance
Book heat level (based on movie ratings): PG13
One of the 13 all new stories in this year’s Pets in Space® 4 anthology to benefit Hero-Dogs INC.,
An unusual bequest….
Juli Shaeffer, the Nebula Zephyr’s cruise director, receives a mysterious bequest from the estate of a longtime passenger – a lump of rock taken from a reef on the planet Tahumaroa. Legend states anyone who steals from the ocean gods will be cursed. The passenger’s will requests the rock be returned to the beach so his heirs won’t be affected by the bad luck he believed he’d incurred. Juli doesn’t believe in superstitions and she agrees to carry out this small favor on the ship’s next stop at the planet in question.
Until the rock disappears from her office…
When the rock disappears and reappears in various locations around the ship, and seems connected to a steadily escalating series of mishaps, Juli turns to Third Officer Steve Aureli as the only one she feels she can trust. Along with Steve and his elderly Aunt Dian – a passenger aboard the Nebula Zephyr for this cruise – she investigates the strange series of malfunctions plaguing the interstellar luxury liner. Steve and Juli enlist his Aunt Dian’s dog, Charrli, a retired Sectors Z Corps canine, to help them track the missing rock as it moves about the ship.
Juli and Steve must find the rock, hang onto it and transport it to the planet’s surface, before the alien idol’s curse turns deadly. The attraction between the two of them grows as the threat to Juli becomes more and more focused. Can she carry out her task while he keeps her safe from the alien curse? Will the capricious alien idol bring them good fortune…or disaster?
Know the Heroine: Juli
Here are some fun questions to help us know your heroine.It’s late, she’s bored. What does she do?
Juli would probably research the next stop for the Nebula Zephyr, since she’s the Cruise Director, and identify fun things for her passengers to do while on the planet.
What kind of food would she impulse buy if hungry?
She tries to eat a healthy diet but she’s on the go all day so her snacks are fruits and nuts. If she was feeling really decadent, she’d go have a special ice cream cake in one of the ship’s upscale restaurants.
Describe the kind of clothes she prefers to wear.
On duty she wears the cruise line’s blue and white uniforms, mixing and matching various approved pieces depending on the day’s activities. She likes to be casual in her time off but she does enjoy wearing a fabulous gown for special occasions.
Does she know how to fix things?
Juli knows how to problem solve for her passengers, so she knows who to talk to on the ship to resolve issues and she’s happy to work through the cruise line’s offices on various planets to fix problems encountered by passengers in their local travels. She’s not technically trained in any way so she’d call the ship’s chief engineer or ask the ship’s Artificial Intelligence to fix anything of that nature.
She tried to do something and it went badly. Tell us about it.
Earlier in the same cruise, one of the passengers, who is a famous opera singer, and who has symbiotic butterflies instead of hair, was pounced on by the ship’s cat. The alien butterflies flew away, the diva nearly died (because she lost her symbionts – the cat didn’t hurt her) and only the ship’s captain could persuade the singer not to sue. Luckily the butterflies returned. Juli had to apologize and swallow a lot of insults directed at the cat!
How does she act around children she doesn’t know?
She’s very good with children, a natural at talking with them and discovering their interests and enthusiasms. She organizes a lot of activities on the cruise ship to keep passengers’ children happy and busy.
What is she like first thing in the morning?
She needs a loud alarm to wake up but once she does open her eyes, she’s a total morning person who jumps out of bed and dives into the day’s tasks. She’s always conscious of her To Do list and feels the pressure to get things done.
How does she act around people who don’t know what she is?
Juli has built up a healthy level of self-confidence over her years working in the interstellar cruise ship industry so she knows she can resolve problems and issues successfully. In her personal life, she’s a bit more insecure, as with her crush on Third Officer Steve Aureli. Fortunately the events in this story force Juli and Steve together in the course of their duties and she’s able to pursue the romance she’s always hoped to have.
Will she let a worker handle things or do it herself?
She has a bit of an inner conflict not doing everything herself but as she’s risen through the ranks, she’s had to learn to delegate effectively and not micro manage. She’s effective at training people to carry out their duties, which eases her mind, and she has a wonderful assistant on the Nebula Zephyr, who is able to fill in for Juli when the issue of the idol’s curse sidelines her.
Earrings/piercings/tattoos or unadorned skin?
I know Juli loves earrings but she doesn’t have any piercings or tattoos. She does like the tatts Officer Aureli has though.
Personal vehicle or public transport?
Since she lives aboard the ship, she borrows a groundcar from the local cruise line office if possible when she’s on a planet, or would rent a vehicle if necessary. She’s not much for public transit only because she’s always under so much time pressure.
Recycle or toss?
Definitely recycle!

Linda O’Connor, 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 heroine, but first, tell us about the book.Before the Whistle by Linda O’Connor
Genre Medical Hockey Romance
Book heat level (based on movie ratings): PG-13
Jordyn Kendra is a talented designer and savvy businesswoman. Spending eighteen hours a day establishing and running a successful business doesn’t leave much time for pursuing a relationship, and frankly she hasn’t really missed it. But when an invitation arrives that could help her fulfill her career dreams, she has to make a decision. What’s harder: going to a gala without a date or finding someone to ask?
Ben Matthews, head athletic therapist for the wildly popular Clarington Quakes hockey team, tends to stand out in a crowd. When Jordyn doesn’t recognize him, it puts a dent in his ego, but he catches her attention when he jumps in to save a life.
She’s a queasy bystander, cowering at the sight of blood, and he’s cool, calm, and confident, which she finds irresistible. With a little prodding from her spirited aunt, Jordyn realizes that she and Ben might be the perfect mismatch.
Before the Whistle – when cool and calm in an emergency is totally hot.
Know the Heroine from Before the Whistle
Here are some fun questions to help us know your heroine.
It’s late, she’s bored. What does she do?
She designs skate wear and swimwear for a living, and she’s learned the hard way that the fabric can do funny things in the water – transparency and shrinkage oh my. So as part of her routine, she whips up a a mock swimsuit and tests out the fabric in the water. The pool in her condo building is open 24 hours, so she’d be there testing out her latest creation.
What kind of food would she impulse buy if hungry?
Chocolate Caramel Turtle Pie – it’s a fav!
Describe the kind of clothes she prefers to wear.
Comfy sweats – unless Ben is around – then it’s cashmere and slim-fitting capris.
Does she know how to fix things?
She’s a master seamstress so she can fix anything – with fabric and thread.
She tried to do something and it went badly. Tell us about it.
She reluctantly tried to sign up for a First Aid/CPR course and ended up in a First Responder course.

She has 2 best friends who are doctors – and figure they’ll jump in to save a life. Why would she need to?
How does she act around children she doesn’t know?
She recently made little duckling costumes for the local kiddy skating club. Putting little ones quickly at ease is part of her job.
What is she like first thing in the morning?
She wakes up slowly but gets up early.

Android or iPhone?
iPhone
Earrings or unpierced ears?
Earrings with sparkle and colour.

Dee S Knight, 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 heroine, but first, tell us about the book.An Awareness of Evil in Mystic Desire by Dee S Knight
Genre: Paranormal Romance
Book heat level (based on movie ratings): R
Mystic Desire, is a collection of short paranormal romance stories. I have always been a big fan of short stories, both reading and writing them. For the reader it is a chance to read the work of a diverse group of authors. I have discovered some great writers from reading short stories. From the author’s prospective, it gives us a chance to experiment on something new, a different style, or something a bit more daring.
The themes are varied from native American Dream Catchers, to lustful, vampires. And from hot warlocks to a zombie apocalypse. There is something in this anthology for everyone, from soft and tender love, to hot passionate, kinky sex.
An Awareness of Evil – Dee S Knight
Only two things stand between evil and a small girl: the visions of Amanda McMasters and Detective Brendan Gilchrist. Neither can afford to be wrong.

Here are some fun questions to help us know your heroine.
It’s late, she’s bored. What does she do?
Professionally, Amanda is a fabric artist. She’s always tinkering with ideas and concepts that she can turn into stunning artistic pieces. But when she needs a break, she goes antiquing, tries a new recipe, gardens, or reads. Her commissions keep her pretty busy, however.
What kind of food would she impulse buy if hungry?
A Baby Ruth candy bar. She hates seeing them on store endcaps because she’s always tempted to buy!
Describe the kind of clothes she prefers to wear.
She’s one of those people who can throw on an old scarf and look stylish, so she looks good in most anything. When going out, she likes to wear skirts and colorful tops, with pumps. Yes, she’s old-fashioned that way. At home, comfort is paramount. She’s in tees or a long-sleeved knit shirt (Idaho gets cold!), sweatpants, comfy jeans, or cargo pants so she has plenty of places to stash all the things she likes to have handy.
Does she know how to fix things?
Yes. She’s been on her own since leaving school and has found that YouTube can help you fix almost anything. No clogged pipe is getting the best of Amanda McMasters!
She tried to do something and it went badly. Tell us about it.
This is an example of no good deed going unpunished–she tried to do the right thing and it went wrong. She used her psychic capability to save a child. When word got out, she was deluged with calls and visits from people clamoring for her help. She didn’t know how to handle it. Panicking and overwhelmed, she packed up and moved. Not a very good response.
How does she act around children she doesn’t know?She doesn’t “take” to children she doesn’t know, although she doesn’t dislike children in general. Children in need seem to have an affinity for her. This is the second child in danger who has reached out psychically for her help.
What is she like first thing in the morning?
Amanda is one of those dreaded “Oh look! It’s another beautiful day!” people. She likes her coffee first thing, but she’s perky even without it.
Can she use chopsticks?
No. Never seen a need for them.
Does she drink coffee? If so, how does she take it? If not, what does she drink instead?
Yes, and she drinks it black and strong.
What apps would she have on her phone?
She lives in a university town and would have an app for events at the school. Also, for several upscale fabric vendors she uses. Lastly, apps for galleries that feature her work.
Android or iPhone?
iPhone
Earrings or unpierced ears?
Pierced ears. While in school she once thought about getting her tongue pierced but backed out.
Tattoos or unadorned skin?
Unadorned skin.
Personal vehicle or public transport?
She has a truck but she’s close enough to downtown to walk, which she does frequently.
Recycle or toss?
Tossing is easier. Her town has made so many rules for recycling that she has to force herself to keep up and separate her trash. But she does because deep down she thinks it’s the right thing to do.
Thanks for helping us get to know your heroine!
