Initiation: It’s never just another day at the office Paula Millhouse @pmillhouse #RLFblog #UF #PNR
Paula Millhouse, welcome to Romance Lives Forever. I’m Kayelle Allen, author and owner of this blog. Happy to have you here! Please tell us about your book.Thank you, Kayelle, for having me on the blog today. I love what you do for the Romance/UF/PNR/Sci-Fy genres, and how you connect readers with great books!
Hunters’ Watch Brigade: Initiation by Paula Millhouse
Genre: Urban Fantasy (with a heavy dose of paranormal romance on the side.)
Book heat level (based on movie ratings): Rated R (for some hot romance, magic, and suspenseful scenes)
It’s never just another day at the office…
Demigod Samantha Silverton, a full-time monster hunter in the Hunters’ Watch Brigade, is on a mission to hunt down a scorned mermaid with her familiar Max when she finds out she has bigger fish to fry. Her mother—a powerful witch—has been abducted. And the most likely villain is her mother’s enemy, Francesca Rosencratz.
Being a familiar to a sexy monster hunter has its perks, but Max wants more. He might look like a cat, but he’s also Sam’s best friend…and the man who loves her. But in order to defeat Francesca, he’ll have to shift into his human form, something he’s avoided. Because once he’s officially a shifter, he’ll have to join the Brigade. And that could take him away from Sam for good.
But Francesca’s becoming more and more dangerous. She and a mysterious ally are working to take down the Brigade, and take over the paranormal community. Sam will have to dig deep if she’s going to save her mom. But Max will have to risk even more…to save Sam.
When supernatural creatures go rogue, who are you going to call? The Hunters’ Watch Brigade!
Why did you write this book?
This is the book of my heart.
One day I broke all the rules and started writing in first person, multiple point-of-view, and the Hunter’s Watch Brigade came to life.
The first book, Initiation, tells the story of a snarky monster hunter heroine who goes up against all odds to rescue her family from monsters, find her One True Love (who turns out to be her best friend), and incorporates all the things I like to read. Fantasy. Romance. And suspense.
I picked on the Greek pantheon in this book. My main character Samantha is a half-ling daughter to Poseidon. He makes a couple of appearances in this story, and I LOVED writing him. I’m an Aquarius girl who was born in the site of water, so it felt normal as anything including him in the story. Just wait until you visit his castle under the sea with Sam and Max.
I also explored what it means to fall in love with your best friend. I love this romance trope, and Sam and Max have some pretty intense issues to solve along their romance road. I think readers will cheer for them. They’re a very dynamic couple who fought hard to find their love story. They even surprised me.
The climax is amazing, and I knew what the scene looked like as soon as I wrote the very first words. Seeing this book go to print is an achievement. I can’t wait to share it with everyone, and I hope you’ll tell a friend.
What is your favorite genre to read?
Urban Fantasy and Paranormal Romance.
I like books where justice does exist, magic is the norm, and a hot romance demands a happy ever after.
Who is your favorite character from fiction (not including your own)?
Sam from the Hunters’ Watch Brigade series of course.
She’s a half-ling daughter of Poseidon who joined up with her vampire handler, Shade Vermillion, and her cat-shifter best friend Max to police the universe for bad supernaturals. She shows exemplary spunk while she fights a mermaid, reconciles family issues with her sister Cyn, and works hard to rescue her mother from Francesca Rosencratz, a powerful witch with a vendetta.
Does Sam win in the end? We’ll let the readers decide.
What are you working on at the moment?
Sharing Hunters’ Watch Brigade: Initiation with the world of readers. Do feel free to tell a friend, and thank you in advance. Marketing a book is hard work, and word of mouth still seems to be the best way to share books. If you’d like to read and review a copy you can do that now at Net Galley.
My amazing editor Brenda from ImaJinn Books and I are working on revisions for HWB Book 2. It’s been fun to expand the Hunters’ Watch Brigade world. I’m plotting several more books where readers can enjoy following their favorite pair of sexy paranormal agents as they police the universe for bad supernaturals.
What books will we see from you in coming months?
My agent, Sharon Belcastro, was wise enough to see the potential in this series.
Hunters’ Watch Brigade Book 2 is scheduled to release in the Summer of 2018, and we expect Book 3 to be out this year too. BelleBooks/ImaJinnBooks is an amazing publisher, and I think readers will enjoy what we have in store for you. Check back on my website for upcoming news. https://www.paulamillhouse.com

(Free on KindleUnlimited)Daron’s Guitar Chronicles by Cecilia Tan
Sex, drugs, and rock and roll. Coming out and coming of age in the days of AIDS, MTV, Reaganomics, and Just Say No.
Daron Marks is a young guitar player with a dream, make it big like the guys he grew up idolizing in New Jersey–or at least escape his dysfunctional family. He makes it as far as music school in Rhode Island, and the rock clubs of Boston beckon him. But it’s hard to succeed from the closet.
Ziggy Ferias is an art school dropout who dreams of fame. One day he sees a guitarist busking in the park, and his entire vision of his future changes.
A story of how finding one’s self is key to finding love, and loving one’s self is key to loving another.
Winner of the Rose and Bay Award for Crowdfunded Fiction!
“For me, Daron is one of those rare fictional characters that I have a hard time believing does not actually exist on the physical plane. He is just too real. Part of it is that Daron is only a couple of years older than me and the way the 80s are brought to life here reminds me very much of my own coming of age: the musical references, the language, the AIDS scare, the technology, the hair… Most of all, though, it is the fact that Daron is an extremely well written character. He grows and changes and engages.”

A Taming Season by Claire GemA scarred widow heads to picturesque Lake George, NY to heal. What she finds is the chance for the summer fling of her life—but is she ready?
Manhattan domestic violence counselor Zoe Anderson is going on the most important vacation of her life.
Before she can move on, help other women, Zoe needs to heal herself. Her Cinderella life shattered three years ago one fateful night, leaving her a young widow, scarred inside and out. In an attempt to reclaim her life, bury her demons, and save her job, Zoe sets out for picturesque Lake George to claim the treasured family cottage she recently inherited. The place where she found happiness—before. Reboot, restore to an earlier time.
What she finds is a rundown shack.
The neighboring resort mogul, Jason Rolland, whisks in to her rescue, insisting Zoe stay at his upscale Lakeview Lodge. The wealthy, handsome star of his own radio show, Jason’s Lair, is a terminal bachelor. But Jason figures he might use the gifts God gave him to convince the sexy redheaded stranger to give up the crumbling eye-sore next door. A challenge he’s definitely up for. He’s been trying to buy the cabin—and demolish it—for years: the last reminder of his own tragic, childhood memories.
Zoe can’t deny her attraction to the tall, dark-haired Jason with his pool-water blue eyes. Definitely fling material—if she can just get past those flashbacks from the night everything changed. And the knowledge that when it comes to happy-ever-after, you usually don’t get a second chance. Hardly possible with the Tiger of Jason’s Lair.
What Jason doesn’t figure on is Zoe’s charms melting his emotional armor. But with his reputation, can he ever win her heart? Can a tiger really change his stripes? Or will their pasts come back to bite them both?

Driven by Love by D Anne Paris @danneparis #RLFblog #paranormalromance
D Anne Paris, welcome to Romance Lives Forever. I’m Kayelle Allen, author and owner of this blog. Happy to have you here! Please share what you’ve observed lately.
Things are getting a bit hairy!
Most of you have noticed the beard trend among men. There are more bearded men than clean shaven men. The trend is so hot that there are even songs about it. Check out the Marty Ray Project on YouTube. He has done beard parodies such as “All about dat beard”, “All my friends are bearded”, and “Beardin on Em”. I found other artists that also got into the beardwagon and created other songs like “I like Big Beards” and “Let it Grow”.
If you have seen the latest trailer for the next Avengers movie you’ll notice that Marvel has gotten on the beardwagon! We see the normally clean cut Steve Rogers aka Captain America sporting a beard! The rest of the male Avengers also had a beard in one form or another. Guess Tony Stark started a trend!
This trend not only is in movies but has even passed into romance novels. When I searched through the Amazon best seller lists I found that most covers that had an image of the hero shows him sporting a beard of some sort. Some were five o’clock shadows while others were a full length beard. It didn’t matter what genre they were, either. So why the sudden popularity of the beard?
I searched through Google to find the answer. I found that since 2013 the beard trend has been growing (pun intended) in popularity. Reasons behind it range from more on screen characters have beards (check out the guys on the show Vikings) to men not having time to keep their clean shaven look. Other sources go back and cite examples from scientific studies which show beards help males find mates because it makes them look manly and mature. One study done in Australia found that women who wanted a stable long term relationship preferred men with beards instead of clean cut men. Apparently clean cut men are viewed as only good for flings!
Whatever caused this trend, it doesn’t seem like it will be stopping anytime soon. Even my normally clean shaven Silver Fox grew a beard! So if you like the beard enjoy it while the trend lasts because as we all know, trends die and new trends are born. Let’s just hope the next trend is not so hairy!Driven by Love
Paranormal Romance
Book heat level (based on movie ratings): R
Anne Stevens had everything:
Wealth, fame, and a secret power to bring a civilization to its knees. When her sister is severely hurt in an apparent car crash, Anne discovers clues that lead her to believe her own life might be in danger.
Dean was a Marine Corps. veteran from a special military team, each gifted with powers of a mysterious origin. Framed for murder by his mercenary ex-lover, Dean retires from service to live a civilian life as a body guard for hire. Dean Miller met only a few people with gifts while he was in the Middle East but none compared to what Anne Stevens could do: bring to life the machines around her.
Seemingly from different worlds, they share more in common than their growing desire for each other as they find themselves irresistibly drawn to one another. When the threat intensifies and Anne becomes the target of a kidnapping, Dean must draw on old friends to help save her from a ruthless enemy.
Driven by Love is the 1st book in the Heirs of Orion romantic suspense series which takes readers on a journey through the lives of people with special powers and those who want to control them.Where to buy Driven by Love

Meet Lila from The Dragon Wore a Kilt by Holly Bargo @HollyBargoBooks #RLFblog #paranormal romance
Welcome Connor Matasan from The Dragon Wore a Kilt, a new paranormal romance by Holly Bargo.
Connor Matasan
Age: 96
Gender: Male
Birthplace: Glencarol, Scotland
Profession: Farmer
Ethnicity: Scottish
Species (for scifi/fantasy characters): sith
Please provide a physical description.
I suppose I resemble the typical romantic hero, tall and dark-haired. The ladies of Glencarol have liked the looks of the men in my family for centuries and I’m no exception.
Please tell us a little about your character.
I’m the earl of Matasan, but due to my being sith, the title passed to my great-nephew, Liam. As an immortal sith, converted from human by the ancient magic of Saroach who lives in the loch, I live a lonely life and guard the loch and the dragon from discovery. I’ve yet to figure out what the dragon actually does for us, but I’m bound to his will.
Who is the significant other in your character’s life?
Lila is my mate, given to me by Saroach. She’s perfect, amazing, talented, and too damned independent for my comfort. She’s mine.
How does your hero dress?
I prefer to wear the native dress of my people, a kilt. They’re comfortable, you know. And I look damned good in one.
Does he scrape by, live comfortably, live extravagantly?
The earls of Matasan own a large property and live comfortably, but we’re typical of our Scottish kin in that we’re not wasteful or extravagant. My great-nephew Liam is a financial genius; I focus more on the agricultural operations of our estate.
Is he close to family?
Family is everything, whether that family is related by blood or magic. I will protect them all and they will do the same for me.
Can your hero keep a secret? If not, why not? If yes, why?
My existence itself is an open secret. The village of Glencarol knows something us Matasans, even if they’re not really privy to our secrets.
What is your hero’s biggest personal flaw?
If you asked Lila, she would say my biggest flaw is arrogance. It’s true, I’m arrogant as has been every earl of Matasan. My will is law and no one but Lila ever defied me.
What is your hero’s breaking point?
I was captured by a witch who wanted to take my immortality and power for herself. She treated me much the same as I treated Lila and the realization broke me. I needed her forgiveness to restore me and it made me a better man… and a better mate for my beloved Lila.
What happened to cause Lila to leave you?
I can only say that I… devolved. Something about the dragon’s nature overwhelming my humanity caused me to treat her badly. Although, I can’t really blame the dragon nature, because Saroach was disappointed in me, too.About Your Writer: Questions for your character to answer about you.
To honor the person who chose to share your story, please answer at least four of these questions.
Why do you think Holly Bargo chose to write about you?
I sought understanding and redemption. And I think the writer wishes men were, perhaps, a little like me, too.
Was there anything your writer discovered about you that was a surprise to one or both of you?
My writer held true to her principles. I could not charm her and she portrayed me as I was. That stung.
Why do you think your writer loves to write?
My writer loves men who are truly masculine, not male versions of women, but men who complement women and are strong enough to accept a strong woman.
What do you wish your writer would write next?
I want my writer to tackle Robbie’s story. My philandering sith brother needs a mate of his own, he needs someone to love and who will love him, too.Tell us about The Dragon Wore a Kilt

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.

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.
