    His world shifted the moment she was born. Now, nothing can stop him from making her his.
    Imagine meeting a man who looks like an angel, wings and all? What would you do if this man told you he existed with only one purpose – to claim you and only you?
    Destiny Carter is a feisty, take charge, Rubinesque beauty with a tough façade, who finds herself in that age old quandary, “always a bridesmaid, never a bride.” A string of lackluster relationships leave her hopeless and ready to settle…Until she meets Japheth, the man her fiancé claims is his best friend! Japheth’s arrival is heralded by an attack on Destiny’s life, and instinctively, she knows this is just the beginning.
    Born more than 200 years ago, Japheth looks like an angel but he’s far from it. In his world, the ratio of men to women is 500 to 1, and although he’s a superior being, he’s willing to break the most sacred law of his brothers, even drink human blood, to have one meant for him alone.
    When he meets Destiny, he knows she’s the one he’s been searching for. To claim her, he will have to betray a friend, risk his life, and hardest of all, humble himself enough to win her love.

    Werewolves and Cloaked by @TFWalsh #RLFblog #paranormal

    Today’s featured book is Cloaked by T.F. Walsh.
    Thanks for having me on your blog☺
    What is it about werewolves that make them such great characters for novels? Traditionally stories of werewolves were used to inspire fear, but they have since been romanticised in popular culture. In either manifestation they are popular material for audiences. Their Jekyll and Hyde nature is probably a key to their fascination, historically and more recently.
    From a fear aspect, the hidden nature of the werewolf is what caused most concern.  Anyone could be a werewolf hiding in his or her human guise. Whether a person’s lycanthropy is beyond their control, or whether they maintain their control, when they change, they are equally frightening.
    Modern werewolves are much less about fear, and their dual nature has become much more alluring. In present day, where everything we do seems to be public knowledge, having a secret darker side is very appealing. Again, the idea that anyone meet might be a wolf in disguise also titillates the imagination. So anyone who has a mundane life could have a chance to break all the rules, go wild and then return to their normal the next day.
    Whether scary or sexy, or a bit of both, werewolves have a wide appeal. There are many reasons for this, but their veiled dual personality is at the core of this for many people.
    What do werewolves symbolize for you?
    About the Book
    Title Cloaked
    Genre Paranormal Romance
    Author TF Walsh
    The wulfkin have rules. Although Daciana knows what they are, she can’t help but be attracted to Inspector Connell Lonescu, a forbidden human.
    When given the opportunity to take part in a one-year independence ritual, Daciana leaps at the chance to venture into the human world. That joy is short-lived when the bear cubs she’s assigned to protect go missing. In desperation, she reaches out to the police, but what she never expected was to be instantly attracted to the brooding, yet wonderfully seductive Connell.
    Inspector Lonescu trusts no one, including the sinfully sexy Daciana. When she comes to him with wild claims and a suspicious story, he has no reason to believe her, but yet, he can’t help but be intoxicated by her. Something about her is pulling him to her, but allowing that to continue will mean he’ll have to let go of his mistrust and open himself up for something more.
    Is Daciana ready to risk it all to be with a man she’d been warned to stay away from? Can Connell find the cubs and ensure that Daciana will not have to return home in disgrace?

    My Zombie Fiancé a new #paranormal by @AuthorTStrange #RLFblog

    This quick interview includes info about the author, and introduces the story.
    About the Author
    T. Strange didn’t want to learn how to read, but literacy prevailed and she hasn’t stopped reading—or writing—since. She’s been published with Torquere Press since 2013, and she writes M/M romance in multiple genres, including paranormal and BDSM. T.’s other interests include cross stitching, gardening, watching terrible horror movies, playing video games, and finding injured pigeons to rescue. Originally from White Rock, BC, she lives on the Canadian prairies, where she shares her home with her wife, cats, guinea pigs and other creatures of all shapes and sizes. She’s very easy to bribe with free food and drinks—especially wine.
    Interview with T. Strange
    Why did you write this book?
    I didn’t feel that Kit and Edward’s story was finished after My Zombie Boyfriend, and I wanted to explore their relationship and Edward’s abilities further.
    What is your favorite genre to read?
    M/M, for sure, and within that I like urban fantasy and (surprise surprise!) paranormal.
    Who is your favorite character from fiction (not including your own)?
    Bilbo Baggins!
    What are you working on at the moment, and will see from you in coming months?
    I don’t know about the next few months, but I have three novels on the go right now. The closest to completion is a dark sci-fi novel about two men on a hostile alien planet. I’m also working on the third book in the Undead Canadian series, My Zombie Wedding, and another paranormal book with entirely different characters!
    Please tell us about your latest book.
    Edward Grey is no stranger to the undead; since raising his cat as a zombie when he was a child, he and his mentor Mariel have explored and developed his power as a necromancer. Despite everything he’s learned, as a necromancer and a medical student, he’s never encountered a ghost.
    While Mariel is unreachable in Haiti on mysterious business, a ghost wakes Edward in the middle of the night, claiming to be his grandfather. When the ghost offers to teach him about this different form of undeath, Edward has little choice but to trust the spirit.
    After receiving a phone call from a young girl claiming her father is possessed, Edward and his Undead Canadian fiancé, Kit, must travel to an acreage in Kingston…Ontario.
    The haunting proves far more complicated than Edward could ever have guessed, and he finds himself pitted against an ancient evil determined to engulf everyone on the farm.
    Edward’s love and connection to Kit will be tested, and his necromancy stretched to his limits as he has to find—and destroy—a twisted spirit more powerful than anything he’s ever encountered.

    Meet Damon Cubins from Claimed #pnr @andreaRcooper #RLFblog

    Meet Damon Dubins from Claimed by Andrea Cooper.

    Author Bio

    Andrea has always created characters and stories. But it wasn’t until she was in her late twenties that she started writing novels.
    What happened that ignited the writing flame in her fingers? Divorced, and disillusioned by love songs and stories. They exaggerate. She thought. Love and Romance are not like that in the real world. Then she met her husband and realized, yes love and romance are exactly like the songs and stories say. She is now a happy wife, and a mom to three kids (two boys and a girl).
    Andrea writes paranormal and historical romance. When not writing or reading, one may find Andrea dancing in Zumba.
    She believes in the power of change and counting each moment as a blessing. But most importantly, she believes in love.

    Intern Renee Maxwell has a chance at her dream job as assistant to a renowned archaeologist in exotic Turkey. Things get a little weird when she finds a unique crystal and starts hallucinating crazy yet sexy things. Her once staid boss now looks like a gorgeous demi-god and underwear model combined. Her feminist ideals are challenged with each seductive look and bit of banter he gives her, but she’s not falling for his charm.
    Damon Cubins never met a woman his Incubus powers couldn’t seduce…until now. If he doesn’t find an ancient crystal, he’ll turn into a full-fledged demon. When his new Intern Renee arrives on site, wearing the exact necklace he needs to save his existence, he thinks he’s got it made until he discovers a curse is keeping him from claiming what’s his.
    He doesn’t want to harm the woman who has enraptured his heart, but Damon isn’t the only dark creature seeking the crystal’s powers. Winning Renee’s love to release the curse becomes the only cure to save her life.

    Ethnicity/Species (if not human):  Incubus
    Describe your body and build, skin tone, height and weight. Include any unique features such as dimples, freckles, or scars.
    I’m an Incubus. Muscled and fit without working out. My species is made to seduce women and feed off their sexual auras. I’m blond, six foot four and weigh 200lbs. I’ve no scars or blemishes though Renee says I have a dimple when I smile, but I don’t believe her.
    Who is the significant other in your life?
    Renee Maxwell. My intern archeological assistant and one who challenged me at every turn.
    Please tell us a little about yourself.
    On what special skills do you rely?
    My Incubus powers. I’m able to pour seduction into my voice, visit a woman when she’s sleeping, and charm a stadium of nuns if I wanted.
    Do you have children?
    Not yet. As an Incubus, I can control when my mate could get pregnant or not.
    Do you see morality as black-and-white, or with shades of gray?
    I used to see morality as a kaleidoscope of colors. Then I fell in love for the first time and my world changed. I changed.

    No, but I do care what Renee assumes about me.
    What secrets do you know about people around you that you do NOT share?
    Everyone has secret desires. Even if they don’t admit it to themselves.
    What past event causes you the most fear?
    My fiancée died of sudden cardiac arrest from my power. Maybe it would’ve happened anyway when she was going up a flight of stairs or something, but I lived every day afterward, until I met Renee, that I was the cause of her death.
    What is your biggest need?
    I needed the crystal to keep from turning into a full-demon.
    What is your biggest personal flaw?
    I’m an Incubus. I have no flaws.
    Who in your life has the power to hurt you the most and why?
    Renee. If I lost her, I wouldn’t be the same. She brought love back into my life and helped me discover that I was empty without her.
    What would you like people who hear your story to know?
    That love can concur against unsurmountable odds.

    Meet Sheriff Jack Lang from Take These Broken Wings #pnr @LiviaQuinn #RLFblog

    Meet Sheriff Jack Lang from Take These Broken Wings by Livia Quinn.

    About the Book

    Title Take These Broken Wings, Destiny Paramortals, Book 5
    Genre Paranormal Romance
    Book heat level (based on movie ratings): PG13
    Destiny. Is it Mayberry or Middle Earth?
    Jack Lang knows first hand about Destiny’s secrets. Turns out he was one of them. On Mardi Gras Eve he and his unlikely band of heroes defeated some particularly nasty creatures intent on taking advantage of the Paramortals’ vulnerability during the Chaos. They called it Chaos because the word “Armageddon” was already taken. Destiny survived with the help of their dragon and some special friends, then Jack received the biggest shocks of his life. And that was saying a lot.
    He’d chosen this town the year before for the normalcy and safety it could provide his teenager after a life of upheaval with his ex. He’d been looking for Mayberry. Instead he’d found, not a town, but a world full of magical beings, odd occurrences, and scary creatures. There’d been one shock after another and yet, instead of leaving and taking Jordie somewhere “safe”… he’d stayed.
    Now he suspected he felt the pull of this special place long before he’d known it existed. But that hadn’t been the only reason. It had all begun the first time he’d seen Tempest Pomeroy. That was when his world had turned upside down—along with half the town. He’d surprised himself with his acceptance of the supernatural. He’d even almost accepted this latest blow, but that had been before he found out he no longer belonged anywhere. Not with humans, and not among supernaturals. Something had gone haywire in his family DNA.
    Now he’s abandoned the women in his life, his responsibilities–everything except for the need to quench the gnawing hunger in his gut and this compulsion to jump off the highest levees in the parish. He was just sorry there were no mountains in Louisiana.

    Introducing Sheriff Jack Lang

    Welcome to Romance Lives Forever! We’re happy to have you here today.
    Thanks, it’s good to be here. I’m Jack Lang, thirty-three, former Navy pilot, now Sheriff of Destiny, Louisiana. I have a spunky, beautiful fifteen year old daughter named Jordie.
    Ethnicity/Species (if not human):
    Hmm, great question, actually. I always thought I was human, or maybe I still am, in addition to being a dragon. I guess you could say things are in “transition”.
    Describe your body and build, skin tone, height and weight. Include any unique features such as dimples, freckles, or scars:
    I used to be around 6′ 2″, dark complected, brown hair and green eyes but I’ve gotten taller and more muscular recently. When I shift, I turn into a big sparkly dragon with silver eyes.
    Who is your significant other.
    Five months ago, I would have told you it was Tempe. Now, I could be in the dog…er…  dragon house…cave. My life has kinda gone FUBAR.
    Tell us a little about yourself.
    After getting full custody of my daughter, my parents suggested I run for sheriff in Destiny. I figured it would be the perfect (normal) place to recover from the craziness of our life with my ex, Georgeanne.
    I was wrong.
    Please tell us about your education.
    I signed up for the U.S. Navy as soon as I graduated and within two years was doing what I always wanted to do. Fly. I knew the Navy would supply everything I desired – travel, education, a career and women. I figured those would be the most important things in my life. Then my daughter Jordie came along.
    Do you get by, live comfortably, live extravagantly?
    I live simply because nothing matters but keeping Jordie safe and providing for her needs, but that hasn’t been simple. Nothing’s simple when it comes to G-Crazy.
    On what special skills do you rely?
    Until recently, the only special skill I had was flying, but then I was blindsided with this quickening thing and now I can’t even do that.
    Are any of your skills a source of pride or embarrassment, and if so, which ones and why?
    Definitely embarrassment. This new form I’ve taken on, though it’s not exactly a skill, well, I should have more control over it. When Conor shifts he morphs into an awesome dragon knight with these giant swords strapped to his shoulders. Me? I just wind up naked as a jaybird. And what good is a dragon that can’t breathe fire, or fly? Embarrassing is not the word.
    How do you dress?
    Nothing exciting. I wear a sheriff’s uniform, unless I’ve just shifted, then… see the previous question.
    How well do you know your neighbors?
    Ha! Neighbors. Is that a euphemism for crazy supernaturals? Cause that’s what my town is all about. I know a heck of a lot more now that I did six months ago when I moved here thinking it was a quaint, ordinary town for Jordie. Seriously, I was thinking “Mayberry”. But instead, I found Middle Earth.
    What is your breaking point?
    I didn’t think I had one, until I met Tempest Pomeroy and the citizens of Destiny.
    But that was then… now, I think I overestimated my own resilience, and possibly my mental stability.
    Do you see morality as black-and-white, or with shades of gray?
    Black and white was the old Jack. Things were so much simpler then; now it seems I see nothing but gray. I’m having a hard time with change, and my relationships with Tempe and my daughter are suffering. If I don’t get it together soon, I’m going to lose everything.

    Genre Paranormal/ Urban Fantasy
    Author Livia Quinn
    Book heat level (based on movie ratings): PG-13
    “You vill meet a dahk dangerrous strangah…”  
    …Aurora predicted at the Mardi Gras ball, and as if someone left their Swords of War videogame on “share” in a parallel universe, the Dark Knight walked in. Conor de Sept Flambe´ with the distinctive leathery tattoos spanning his muscular shoulders and magnificent flashing swords. “Where did he get those swords?” Montana drooled. She’d been unable to force her eyes away from him, then he parted the crowd like Moses through the Red Sea, and asked her to dance.
    He said he wanted to show her some of his moves. Right! Her Dinnshencha warrior wasn’t born yesterday… But there’s more to this Knight than meets the eye, and he’s quite an eyeful.  Recognizing her diminishing strength, he offered to prepare her for the Chaos, twenty-four hours when many Paramortals would lose their power.
    With crazies coming out of the woodwork, Paramortals losing their abilities, personalities going AWOL, Sheriff Lang wants to know who will be left standing with him when the Para-moon begins. If Flambe´ is what Jack thinks he is, Destiny might have a chance. If not, they’ll be in deep… trouble.  Where’s an F-18 when you need one?
