    Stranded with the Cyborg

    Cara Bristol
    Ten years ago Penelope Isabella Aaron had been a pain in Brock Mann’s you-know-what. Much has changed in a decade: “PIA” as he code-named her, has grown up and is about to attend her first Alliance of Planets summit conference, and Brock has been transformed into a cyborg after a near-fatal attack. Now a secret agent with Cyber Operations, a covert paramilitary organization, Brock gets called in, not when the going gets tough, but when the going gets impossible. So when he’s unexpectedly assigned to escort Penelope to the summit meeting, he balks at babysitting a prissy ambassador. But after a terrorist bombing, a crash landing on a hostile planet, and a growing attraction to his protectee, Operation: PIA may become his most impossible assignment yet.

    Emma Fulton never had to worry about much. Socially driven and happily single, she’s been blessed with charm, good looks, and a close-knit community. But after a medical emergency, a dollop of family drama, and a series of near-tragic events, she finds she must question who she can trust.
    Preferring solitude to intimacy, Mason Tucker’s relatives make it difficult to escape social gatherings and small talk. When Emma’s mother marries into his family, he finds himself reluctantly drawn to the beautiful woman who is his complete opposite. But after helping her through a terrible discovery, Emma begins to break down some of Mason’s communication barriers and insecurities.
    When Emma asks for his assistance in tracking down a secret, Mason tags along in order to keep her safe. Unfortunately, not everyone has Emma’s safety in mind when danger waits for the perfect opportunity to strike.

  • Contemporary,  Is It True

    Is It True: Strawberry Kisses by Marianne Rice @mariannericeaut #contemporary #RLFblog

    Play Is It True
    with today’s guest Marianne Rice, author of Strawberry Kisses, a contemporary
    romance. This is a game in which authors answer yes and no questions. They can
    elaborate on answers as much as they choose.
    First, tell us about
    your book.
    Book heat level (based on movie ratings): R
    Rachael Riley is back home in Rocky Harbor, but she’s not
    the same woman she once was…
    After being rescued from an abusive relationship, Rachael is
    nothing more than a shadow of her true self. The only place she manages to find
    some degree of comfort is in the kitchen, hiding behind her apron as she
    continues to shut everyone out. Her foster sister knows that the real Rachael
    has been broken and reaches out by signing her up for self-defense classes with
    the hope of getting her outgoing, confident and nosey older sister back.
    Jake Morgan has done more than his time and is finally free
    of his past…
    Teaching self-defense is Jake’s way of giving back,
    compensating for what has been taken away from him years ago. He’s well aware
    that most women in his class have a backstory, and avoids getting emotionally
    involved by keeping his distance—until a beautiful, blue-eyed woman walks in.
    Jake is instantly drawn to Rachael and sees the inner confidence she tries to
    hide behind her blonde bangs and hunched shoulders.
    Wanting to know the story hidden behind those blue eyes,
    Jake sets out to break down every barrier Rachael has built…
    As Jake helps Rachael find the strength she once had, a
    secret of his past is revealed and threatens to ruin the safety they have found
    in each other. There’s more connecting them than just their mutual attraction.
    Once their pasts finally collide, revealing a devastating truth, Jake’s
    feelings and commitment toward Rachael is put to the ultimate test.
    There is no guarantee when it comes to love, but sometimes
    all a broken heart needs to heal is sweet strawberry kisses…
    Now, tell us Yes or
    No for each answer below. Feel free to explain any (or none) of your answers.

    Is it true:

    this is your first
    book?
    Nope! Strawberry Kisses is my ninth book!
    this book is part of a series?
    Yes, it’s book two in my Rocky Harbor series, but all books in the series
    are standalone.
    you lost sleep while writing this book?
     Nope. I love sleep too much to ever
    go without.
    you did research for this book?
    Yes, a little. I researched pictures of hot guys (so I’d have a visual for
    hunky Jake Morgan), lots of strawberry recipes, and the ins and outs of
    self-defense training.
    some characters in this book are not
    human? (pets for example)
    No puppies in this one, but there is a dog in the first book, Staying
    Grounded, and the next book Wounded Love that comes out May 2nd.
    this book has more than one genre?
    No. It’s contemporary romance. However, there are elements of women’s
    fiction. So maybe…romantic women’s fiction?
    you speak more than one language?
    Only if you count crazy lady.
    you grew up where you live now?
    Far from it! I grew up in southern California and now live in Maine.
    you love to read?
    YES!!!
    you are never late?
    YES!!! Even being five minutes early makes me nervous. I’m always, always,
    always early.
    you love pizza?
    Who doesn’t?
    you love sushi?
    I’ve never had it. The idea of raw fish is not appealing to me.
    you have a pet?
    If you count three kids. Hubby is allergic to all animals, even to
    hypo-allergenic breeds.
    Where can we find
    your book online?

    literature, and maybe even write a complete sentence or two. Marianne spends
    the rest of her time chauffeuring her trio of children to their varying
    sporting events, writing, shoe shopping, eating chocolate, and when there’s
    time, relaxing with a glass—or bottle—of wine and a romance book. You can find

    Cole Tucker from False Impressions @Mariannericeaut #Contemporary #RLFblog

    Interview with Cole Tucker
    Tell us about yourself,
    please.
    I love women. Not much more to stay than that (He winks and flashes
    his dimple). Not the answer you’re looking for? Okay, well, for years I’d been
    the party guy. But after a run in with a tree after a few too many beers, I had
    to reevaluate a few things. My folks were getting too old to run the horse farm
    so I’ve taken over that, as well as managing the properties my brothers and I
    own. They’d settled down with their wives and careers but good ‘ol Cole and his
    lack of a real job was here to run things. Damn. I sound like a depressed
    loser. So not the impression I’m used to making. So, how’re you doing? I
    appreciate you reading about me. Hey, don’t I know you? Yeah, you’re the girl
    with the beautiful smile.
    What can you not do (but
    need to do) during this story?
    I should tell Sam about my past. About my DUI. But she lost her
    daughter and husband to a drunk. I don’t want to be put in the same category as
    that murderer. But I am, aren’t I? No, I’m not. I wasn’t an alcoholic. I didn’t
    depend on the stuff to make me happy, but I did enjoy having a cold brew in my
    hand when I watched the Sox or Patriots kick some butt and when I barbecued or
    hung out with my brothers. Quitting wasn’t hard. But I was  ashamed of being so stupid that I drove while
    intoxicated; I didn’t want Sam to know how weak I’d been. I’d been able to make
    her and her son smile and laugh again. It made me proud and gave me something
    positive in my life to look forward to. I couldn’t crush her smile with my
    secret. I cared about her too much. But I needed to tell her the truth.
    Unfortunately she found out before I could come clean.
    What inner doubt causes
    you the most difficulty?
    I don’t like to take life seriously and doubt my ability to be good
    enough for the most perfect, kind-hearted, loving woman in the world. And what
    kind of role model would I be for her son? Woah. We’re getting a bit too deep
    here. Let’s talk about you. I don’t want you to think I’m ridiculous or
    anything, but you are the most beautiful woman I have ever seen. I just felt
    like I had to tell you.
    Tell us about your
    significant other, that person who makes living worthwhile.
    Samantha Chase is the most perfect, kind-hearted, loving woman in the
    world. She’s short, spunky and tough as nails, and there isn’t a word in the
    dictionary for how good she looks. A lot of strength wrapped up in a pretty
    package. She’s the bacon to my eggs.
    What would that person say
    about you?
    I’m the master of pick up lines and proud of it. They’d gotten me out
    of quite a few jams, but Sam would only roll her eyes and either brush off my
    come on or give me a kick ass reply. I think I freaked her out in the beginning
    by hitting it off with her son so quickly. But what can I say? The kid has
    great taste in super heroes. I guess she thinks I’m a kid at heart.
    What is your family like?
    Have you read Connor or Mason’s books yet? That’ll tell you a thing or
    two. With three other siblings, life is never just chill (that’s my role in the
    family—everyone else is a work hound). My mother has played her hand at
    matchmaker and passed the role on to my sister-in-law. We get into everyone’s
    business and are always there to support each other.
    What special skills do you
    rely on?
    I’m really good with my hands.
    Why are you happy (or not
    happy) with the way your story ended?
    I learned a lot about honesty and forgiveness, got the girl, an
    amazing step-son and a bright future. So, yeah. Life is good.

    What was your biggest
    challenge in writing this book?
    Cole had a mind of his own. He had a line for everyone. Seriously.
    Even me. I was struggling with a serious scene and he pops out and says, “Baby,
    if you were words on a page, you’d be what they call FINE PRINT!” It was hard
    staying on track with Cole distracting me every step of the way. He’s a
    carefree, funny, charming guy and the master of pick-up lines, but he was
    harboring an embarrassing secret. I needed to build his character without
    making him seem too shallow, or letting his secret change his personality.
    Why did you choose this
    character for the interview today?
    Because he’s fun but real. When I ask readers what they’re looking for
    in a man they often say: loyalty, honesty, a sense of humor…and looks. Cole has
    all these qualities, except he is harboring a secret. The secret wasn’t meant
    to hurt anyone but to protect himself.
    When writing the book,
    what did you discover about this character that surprised you?
    Cole’s appearances in the first two books are pretty superficial and
    fun, but I found a depth to him and deep feelings that he didn’t like to show
    others. Well, Sam was able to find those. I just wrote what she was able to
    discover. I also hadn’t planned on his connection with Levi, Sam’s son. The
    interactions between the two were quite fun to write and were totally
    unplanned.
    Why should readers who
    haven’t picked up one of your books before give this one a try?
    While the premise of this book may seem serious, it’s actually quite
    light-hearted. I wrote it when my son was four and incorporated many of our
    conversations into Levi’s dialogue. I love seeing the interaction between Cole
    and Levi. It’s adorable.
    Is there anything you’d
    like to say to your readers?
    Thank you so much for picking up my books. The McKay-Tucker series is
    my first set of books and I’m thrilled to have them in digital and print
    formats for my friends, family and new readers. This has been an amazing
    experience and I look forward to sharing many more stories with you. Sweet on
    You, the first book in The Wilde Sisters comes out in September. They’re light,
    fun, sexy and deal with many real-life emotional issues as well.
    About the Book
    Title False Impressions
    Genre Contemporary Romance
    Author Marianne Rice
    Book heat level (based on movie ratings): PG13
    Recovering alcoholic and former party animal, Cole Tucker would be an
    idiot to start something with his newly hired right-hand woman, Samantha Chase.
    It figures he can’t seem to keep his mitts of the sexy, five-foot-nothing
    single mom who can toss a sack of shingles over her shoulder and rewire a house
    better than the crew from Extreme Home Makeover. Her incredible strength
    and self-confidence draw him in; something Cole has pretended to have for
    years. All he has to show for himself is his uncanny use of pick-up lines, a
    hand-me-down farm and some small-town rental properties. When he learns Samantha’s
    husband and daughter were killed by a drunk driver, the shame of his past
    experience with a DUI and near-death accident is the last thing he wants to
    mention to her.
    Samantha has no problem accepting her new boss, flaws and all. His
    simple life is charming and exactly what she hoped to find for herself and her
    son in Newhall, New Hampshire. Cole wins her over by befriending her fatherless
    son and making her laugh again, something she hasn’t done in four years. When
    she learns about his shady past with the bottle, her heart tells her to
    forgive, but the painful memories of her past are too deep to overlook.

    New Award – Top Chatter

    RLF Gem Chat Award 
    Because the person who gets the most comments in a month is not always
    the person who gets the most page views per month, I instituted the Top Chatter
    Award. This is the award for the person who receives the most comments. It goes
    to the top three people in that category. To win, a guest must have five or
    more comments (not counting the guest author’s).

    Romance Lives Forever features authors and new books. It has
    a blogger’s FAQ page with a downloadable guide and six optional interviews. Readers
    can follow via Google+, Networked Blogs, Linky Followers, email, an RSS feed, and
    there’s a blog button readers and authors can grab. Authors can share previous books.
    The blog uses author or publisher names as tags on posts, and author Twitter handles
    in the titles. The site is broadcast over Triberr with a potential reach of over
    1.2M readers via its Twitter-linked network. Twitter mentions are also gathered
    in several Paper.li ezines, giving the author additional opportunities for promotion.
    The Romance Lives
    Forever Paper.li ezine
    features only guest authors, and the day’s guest is on
    its front page every day.
