    Know the Hero from Serendipity by Lisa Chalmers @LisaInk #RLFblog #ContemporaryRomanceLisa Chalmers, 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 Serendipity.

    Serendipity by Lisa Chalmers

    Genre: Contemporary Romance

    Book heat level (based on movie ratings): R

    Spend an entire week alone in a private villa with a man I just met on an airport layover?

    Crazy?

    Yes.

    Worth it?

    Absolutely.

    There was something about Cillian that drew me in from the moment he took the bar stool next to mine. That layover was nothing short of fate, and the fact we each have a plus one to two different weddings seems like Serendipity.

    But what happens when the week ends? Can we each go back to separate lives on opposite coasts?

    Know the Hero from Serendipity

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

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

    Check email/texts, find an old football game on somewhere to watch, digs through the cupboards for something to snack on.

    What kind of food would he impulse buy if hungry?

    Something quick. Depending on what was nearby, likely just a burger.

    Describe the kind of clothes he prefers to wear.

    For work, he lives in suits. Dark colors. When he’s off, jeans, t-shirt, leather jacket.

    Does he know how to fix things?

    He does, he was brought up to be as independent as possible. But he’s also a workaholic and everything that implies, so unless he has the spare time or it’s an easy fix, he’d probably get someone he trusted to fix or help fix him so it takes less time.

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

    Tried paddle boarding on vacation once. Wasn’t paying attention to what he was doing, too busy talking. It flipped over, he went flying and into the water. Best friend probably still has the video somewhere, but would never tell him that.

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

    Friendly. Willing to play, especially if it’s something sporty. Likes to make them smile.

    What is he like first thing in the morning?

    In search of coffee, not overly grumpy, already thinking about work and his to-do list for the day.

    Can he use chopsticks?

    He can.

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

    Drinks it, loves it, inhales it, runs on it. Usually with cream, but he’ll drink it without.

    What apps would he have on his phone?

    Anything that helps keep him on task, calendars, reminders, emails; music, sports updates, photo and video apps.

    Android or iPhone?

    iPhone

    Beard or clean-shaven?

    Mostly clean-shaven, when he’s off work for awhile, he’ll go unshaven for a few days, but not for super long.

    Earrings/piercings/tattoos or unadorned skin?

    Tattoo. He got it after making his first big deal as a way to celebrate. Just a small sun on his shoulder blade, easily hidden by shirts. A reminder that anything is possible under the sun.

    Personal vehicle or public transport?

    Depends on the situation. Back and forth to the airport, taxis, ubers. But he prefers to have a vehicle of his own so he can explore, or for business, spread his paperwork and phone out when he needs to.

    Recycle or toss?

    Recycle.

    Thanks for helping us get to know your hero!

    The Renegade Wife by Caroline Warfield #FreeBookFriday #ReadTwo hearts betrayed by love…
    Desperate and afraid, Meggy Blair will do whatever it takes to protect her children. She’d hoped to find sanctuary from her abusive husband with her Ojibwa grandmother, but can’t locate her. When her children fall ill, she finds shelter in an isolated cabin in Upper Canada. But when the owner unexpectedly returns, he’s furious to find squatters disrupting his self-imposed solitude.
    Reclusive businessman Rand Wheatly had good reason to put an ocean between himself and the family that deceived him. He just wants the intrusive woman gone, but it isn’t long before Meggy and the children start breaking down the defensive walls he’s built. But their fragile interlude is shattered when Meggy’s husband appears to claim his children, threatening to have Rand jailed.
    The only way for Meggy to protect Rand is to leave him. But when her husband takes her and the children to England, Meggy discovers he’s far more than an abuser; what he’s involved in endangers all their lives. To rescue the woman who has stolen his heart, Rand must follow her and do what he swore he’d never do: reconcile with his aristocratic family and finally uncover the truth behind all the lies. But time is running out for them all.
