    Kiss Me, Bite Me by Sayara St Clair @SayaraStClair #RLFblog #ParanormalRomance #vampire

    Sayara St Clair, 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.

    Kiss Me, Bite Me by Sayara St Clair

    Genre: Paranormal Romance, Contemporary Romance.
    Book heat level (based on movie ratings): R
    I’d learned early on in life not to show weakness. Like messy emotions. Shedding tears in front of my family had a similar outcome to busting out of a shark cage wearing blood cologne.
    The world hasn’t treated Kayana Castello Branco particularly kindly. So it’s no surprise to her when she literally bumps into her soul mate, only to find he’s already taken. He’s gorgeous, strong, smart, kind—every woman’s ideal guy. Of course he’s unavailable for soul-matey business.
    When fate shows pity, putting Greg Morgan in her path a second time, the resulting collision is colossal. Their connection is epic, the stuff of romantic legends, fairy tales, sonnets. They’re like Romeo and Juliet (only, the R-rated version).
    But something has happened to Greg. Now, every time he gets near Ana, he gets long and hard…and pointy in the fang area. He doesn’t know whether he wants to kiss her, lick her, do-that-thing-that-rhymes-with-duck her. Or bite and deprive her of every last molecule of haemoglobin.
    Loving a newbie vampire with control issues really and truly sucks.
    Why did you write this book?
    Although this is the fourth book I’ve published, it’s actually the first one I ever wrote. I’ve been an avid paranormal romance reader for a long time and I may have a slight vampire obsession. I mean, it’s so slight it’s barely worth mentioning. *Stares* *Waits* *Squirms* Okay, okay, I’ll admit it—I am TOTALLY obsessed with vamps! So it was inevitable that my first book would be a vampire paranormal romance.
    What is your favorite genre to read?
    Romance. All sorts of romance, eg erotic, paranormal, historical and romantic suspense. I am an unashamed incurable romantic.
    Who is your favorite character from fiction (not including your own)?
    There are so many characters I’ve admired over the years, that it’s hard to narrow it down to just one. My character of the moment, though, is Daniel Beckett, from a series of books by Dominic Piper. Beckett is worlds apart from the usual romantic hero I fall head over heels for. However, he is mysterious and intriguing. And it is absolutely imperative that I find out more about him.
    What are you working on at the moment?
    I’m working on the second book in the Blood Kissed Series.
    What books will we see from you in coming months?
    The book mentioned above will released next. Kayana, Greg and their friends will be involved in some extremely complicated and hair-raising situations. Expect much mayhem in the future from me.

    If someone told a young Sayara St Clair that one day she would be an erotic/paranormal-romance-writing Aussie expat living in Thailand, she would have snort-laughed and yelled, “You. Be. Crazy!”
    If someone told her the same thing now, she would not yell, only nod solemnly. Because that actually happened.
    Sayara has a science degree, with majors in both microbiology and biochemistry. Working in the fields of serology and tissue banking, she got to do lots of cool and sometimes slightly weird stuff. She was employed as the manager/buyer for furniture retail stores, where she had a chance to unleash her inner interior decorator. (Interior design is one of her great passions.) And for a time, she taught English to students in Asia. (Hanging about in a roomful of extremely loud, pint-sized humans is not one of her great passions.) She has written: ads for TV, print and radio; real estate brochures; website copy; and a screenplay. Now she’s writing fiction and has discovered it’s her favorite thing to do. She’s also learned that writing sultry romances is so much more fun than writing dry old scientific journal articles. No one has sex in scientific journal articles. Not the ones she wrote anyway.
    When not writing, she may be most commonly found in a horizontal position reading, in the kitchen baking, in the garden planting, or somewhere else singing at the top of her lungs. She loves music and is prone to spontaneous bouts of dancing.
    With regards to vampires and chocolate: she bites one on a daily basis and has had a lifelong obsession with the other. And she’s not telling which one’s which.

    Five vampire myths busted. One Knight Stand by Kryssie Fortune @KryssieFortune #RLFblog #PNR

    Five vampire myths busted. One Knight Stand by Kryssie Fortune @KryssieFortune #RLFblog #PNRKryssie Fortune, 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 and this interesting thing about vampires…

    The ancient order of Knights Defender turned vampire to police the paranormal creatures that walk the world. But would you know if your boyfriend was a vampire? Here’s a few mistake assumptions people make.
    Vampires have pale skin
    Think again.
    When a Knights Defender rises as a Knights Vampire they regenerate any wounds and become the best version of themselves. Since some wee crusader knights, they come with a built-in suntan.
    Vampires don’t have a reflection?
    Wrong Again
    Knights Vampire need to blend with humans. Someone would notice if they didn’t cast a reflection. When the Grand Master’s dark spell created them, he ensured mirrors reflected them.
    Think vampires come with protruding canines?
    Another myth bites the dust
    A Knights Vampire fangs only drop when he’s about to drink blood. Any other time, even a dentist wouldn’t know they came with fangs.
    Think vampires only drink blood?
    That would be boring.
    Knights Vampire come from the middle ages. Food was different and sometimes scarce back then. They love modern food, especially spices. Most enjoy fine wine, too.
    Think all Knight’s Vampire are male?
    This is more or less true, but some have found their true-mates. If their female truly loves them, the Knight keeps his immortality and gets his soul back when they bond. Most Knights Vampire have lost the ability to feel. To them the world is a cold place that only exists in shades of gray. Only their innate strength and courage keeps them from turning rogue. To reclaim their soul, a vampire must find their soul mate and bond with her. If their love isn’t strong enough, the woman walks away unscathed. The vampire goes straight to hell.

    About One Knight Stand by Kryssie Fortune

    Once a Knight Vampire soul bonds with his lady, she becomes immortal too.
    Crusader knight, Blaxton de Ferrers rises as a vampire after the Knights Defender steal his soul. Murdered by his cousin, he preys on the people he once swore to protect. His emotions leach out of him. Gradually, he forgets how to feel.
    Eight hundred years later, he meets Harriet.
    Harriet Mortlake’s a strong, sassy woman who battles her weight and her temper. She’s the modern-day archivist in the castle which was Blaxton’s childhood home. She’s supposed to ferret out the castle’s secrets. Instead, she finds the love of her life.
    When danger threatens Harriet, Blaxton steps in. Harriet and Blaxton are a match made in heaven. Except… he’s a vampire and he’s destined for hell.

    Kryssie Fortune Social Media

    Kryssie Fortune writes the sort of hot sexy books she loves to read. If she can sneak a dragon into her paranormal books she will. Her paranormal heroes are muscular werewolves, arrogant Fae or BDSM loving dragons.
    Kryssie likes her contemporary heroes ex-military and dominant. Her heroines are kick ass females who can hold their own against whatever life – or Kryssie – throws at them.
    Kryssie’s pet hates are unhappy endings, and a series that end on a cliff hanger.
    Her books are all stand-alone even when part of series. Plot always comes before sex, but when her heroines and heroes get together, the sex is explosive and explicit. One review called it downright sensual.

    Is It True: Eternal Brothers by NJ Walters @njwaltersauthor #RLFblog #PNR

    Play Is It True with today’s guest NJ Walters, author of Eternal Brothers, a paranormal vampire 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.

    When an anonymous late-night tip sends reporter Sophia Daring to the cemetery, she isn’t prepared for what she finds there—a grisly murder scene and the body of a woman completely drained of blood. Sophia’s never been scared off a story before, but this time all the clues point to one disturbing conclusion: this was the work of the mysterious and dangerous Dalakis brothers. And just as unsettling for the fiercely independent Sophia is the irresistible pull of the stranger also working the case, the sensually compelling Zane York.

    A ex-cop, Zane has made it his personal mission to prove that the secretive Dalakis family are powerful vampires and ruthless killers. But when his investigation takes him to New Orleans and their latest victim, he begins to suspect that the Dalakis are being framed by an enemy as dark and mysterious as they are. And even as he struggles with his doubts about the family, there’s no doubt about his hungry response to the hauntingly beautiful Sophia. He knows he must make her his own, whatever the cost.

    As the smoldering chemistry between Sophia and Zane ignites in a delirious haze of passion, they will find themselves immersed in the Dalakis family secrets and the trail of murder that leads to their door. And as their fears and suspicions war with an unquenchable desire, she and Zane will discover that a secret from the past may pose the deadliest threat yet…

    First, tell us about your book.

    The summer when Heather was eighteen, her dream beast’s nightly visits warded off loneliness and swept her away in flights of ecstasy. Now, returning to the mountains to sell her dead parents’ vacation cabin, she finds her “beast” again. But he turns out to be more than a dream. She meets Devin in the flesh, apparently not a day older. His first human lover, centuries in the past, died horribly because of her devotion to him.

    Genre: Vampire Romance

    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?
    No.
    this book is part of a series?
    Yes, my “Vanishing Breed” vampire universe. Almost all the novels and stores can be read on their own.
    you lost sleep while writing this book?
    No. I lose sleep about some things, but not writing.
    you did research for this book?
    Yes, some fact-checking about the setting, based on a location in the Shenandoah National Park we visit every summer.
    some characters in this book are not human? (pets for example)
    Yes, a Golden Retriever, and of course the vampire hero. My vampires are members of another species, not supernatural undead.
    this book has more than one genre?
    Yes, if you count fantasy and romance as two genres; no, if you consider paranormal romance a genre in its own right.
    you speak more than one language?
    Yes, sort of. I studied Latin for five years in high school, but it’s a case more of reading it than speaking it. I’ve also taken a little French and German.
    you grew up where you live now?
    No.
    you love to read?
    Yes, ever since I was four years old.
    you are never late?
    No, but hardly ever.

    you love sushi?
