Tag: Interracial Romance
Next Book From Latrivia: Highness
Prince Michael has always been England’s bad boy. Handsome, confident and completely untraditional, many of his antics garnered front-page news and international headlines over the years. However, once he gets engaged to a woman of note, he finally become a man that his mother, The Queen of England, can be proud of. Too bad, the world wind romance is short lived.
Catastrophe: After calling off the wedding to Thalia, his brother Richard convinces him to get out of the public eye and covertly go to the United States for a while where he hopes that Michael will gain a little more respect for his title and position by living as a commoner, and so the media won’t keep catching him in other women’s beds. To make the situation a little more discrete, they pick the small town of Hernando, Mississippi for their experiment. Normally, Michael would have considered the entire proposal laughable, but the constant fallout from the breakup make what started out as a preposterous suggestion a pliable solution.
Hope Daniels is on top of the world. Working on a collection of art to display in a few months after signing a major deal, she feverishly is working toward her deadline, when suddenly disaster strikes. After being in a head-on collision with a drunk driver, she is left temporarily blind and completely alone. With no one to help take care of her, her agent pushes her to hire someone to help her around the house until her sight comes back. After the most ridiculous interview ever, she finally agrees to hire handyman, Beau Michaels, not knowing that her help is actually the royal variety.
Blessing: Michael’s never been understood, mostly because his beauty and title have always gotten in the way of any sincere connection with a woman, but with Hope blind to his looks and unaware of his true status, he is forced to be himself for the first time ever.
With his majesty waiting on Hope hand and foot, and Hope feeding Michael’s soul with more than pomp and circumstance, their connection becomes electric.
Only what happens when she can see again and he finally sees what he wants in life?

Vasily’s Revenge: The Complete Story is out!!!
Well, I kept my promise. I made my deadline of September 30th to drop Vasily’s Revenge: The Complete Story. I’m really excited about this one, simply because of its history. When the Scandalous Heroes Box Set Authors approached me about writing a book, I was trying to figure out what character to be developed more. Karen Moss was in love with Vasily and I thought, perfect, I’ll focus in on that. Well, I didn’t realize how much I would enjoy writing his story. I had a chance also to talk more about the relationship between Gabriel Medlov and his live-in girlfriend along with how Dmitry felt his organization should continue to be structured.
We’re going to have a book discussion tonight over at the Latrivia Nelson Love Pub on Facebook. You are welcome to Join and Swing by for a fun conversation. It’s also available on Amazon’s Kindle and Barnes and Noble’s Nook as of today.
Now, I’m off to finish writing The Chronicles of Young Dmitry Medlov: Volume 7. Then we switch to the Lonely Hearts. Can’t wait and couldn’t have done it without all of you.
Synopsis
Vasily Kavlov has been proud of one title in his life, head enforcer of the Medlov Organized Crime Family. As a Russian Mafia hit man, his entire purpose has been to protect his bosses and their families without prejudice. However, even the bravest hit man has loved at least once. To Vasily’s detriment, it was his former boss, Leo Rasputin’s wife, Lilly. After sticking his neck out once in the name of love to protect her, he was nearly killed and then discarded by the very man who had sworn allegiance. Given a second and better chance with Dmitry Medlov and his men, Vasily focused on climbing the ranks and becoming lauded by his brethren. Now the head of security for the Czar of the Underworld, a feared and revered faction of the Vory v Zakone, he put all ideas of love aside and follows the code of the Thieves-in-Law. That is until Leo breaks out of Attica and tries to hunt down Lilly in an attempt to take her life. Secret pacts between men and women come unbound as the race against time for $20 million in diamonds, unveils the truth for Vasily. He might not only carry the title of enforcer but also the title of father of Lilly’s eight year old son. Hiding them under the guard of the Medlov family, he must find the diamonds, find the men responsible for the set up and finally find out the truth. Read the first book in the new series about the most famous fiction Russian Mafia family in books, The Medlov Men, by national bestselling author Latrivia S. Nelson.

Join National Bestselling Interracial Romance Author Latrivia Nelson and the ladies of her Facebook Group, The Love Pub for an in-depth discussion of Vasily’s Revenge, Part 1. This book is part of the Amazon Bestselling Box Set, The Scandalous Heroes, released earlier this month.

More About Vasily’s Revenge:
Vasily was a quiet man of questionable origins, one of the many reasons that he’d become more like family to the Medlov’s than a simple captain. He was shorter than the seven-foot Czar, but a few feet taller than his immediate boss, Anatoly…. However, his body builder physique was no less menacing. He had a prison build from years of working in the gym not only to maintain his size but also to strengthen his lungs, which had been punctured over ten years ago by Leo Rasputin’s bodyguard.
A feared, revered henchman of the Vory v Zakone, all Vasily had ever known for the last eight years was in this room. He had served the most powerful men in the mafia and his reputation had been nearly flawless doing so. He had killed more men than he cared to count. Done more deals for his bosses then he would ever say. And he had done it all without ever seeking anything in return, except once, and he had learned that lesson painfully.
USA TODAY Highlights The Fabulous 9 authors of the Scandalous Heroes Box Set
You know, I really should update this thing more. I’ve found that it’s a way to purge. The only problem is that there’s only 24 hours in a day and I need 48 to complete all of my work. LOL. Things could be worse. I could be doing nothing at all. And with my very “special” mind, that would drive me crazy.
I’ve got great news to report. The USA Today did an excellent article online about the Scandalous Heroes Box Set, released on July 6th. It features Yvette Hines, Serenity King, Bridget Midway, Tiana Laveen, Pepper Pace, Erosa Knowles, Sienna Mynx, Aliyah Burke and myself. 9 authors, 9 new stories all for 99 cents. Crazy right?
We’ve had an amazing kickoff. Readers have been so supportive and positive. The reviews have been awesome and let’s face it; this project was historic. It won’t happen again. It won’t last forever, for everyone is living in the moment – enjoying being a part of the experience.
On July 7th, after a serious lack of sleep, we woke up to the USA Today article that I’m sure made all of us smile and proud.
Scandalous Heroes boxed set (Excerpt from USA Today.com) Michelle Monkou, Special for USA TODAY
Nine authors — Sienna Mynx, Latrivia Nelson, Pepper Pace, Bridget Midway, Serenity King, Aliyah Burke, Tiana Laveen, Yvette Hines, Erosa Knowles — offer up a great array of stories with the common theme of “scandalous heroes.” From the sensual to the erotic, these men represent all backgrounds with passion for life, passion for their women and hearts big enough to fall in love.
These nine great stories have something for every taste — alphas, shifters, Doms, billionaires, blue-collar hunks and urban heroes. Stories include Raw Exposure by Aliyah Burke, Vasily’s Revenge by Latrivia Nelson, Double Trouble: Men of 3X CONStruction by Erosa Knowles, Tattooed Moon by Tiana Laveen, Last Call by Bridget Midway, The Wrath of Michael by Serenity King.
In addition, I have to give a few shout-outs for these captivating stories: Rallenti by Sienna Mynx with its Sicilian enforcer, Renaldo Cracchiolo, and his sexy and beautiful shoemaker, Kyra Okeeno. Great introduction to the Battaglia Mafia series with fast-paced, vibrant and sexy romance, coupled with a great cast of characters that add the right amount of drama, humor, and suspense.
Everything Is Everything by Pepper Pace surprised me because it wasn’t the run-of-the-mill romance. Pace’s creatively unique style had the power to pull me into the lives of these teens. Set in the ’70s, neighborhoods, lives, and individual consequences collide. These young adults have grown-folk-size issues to deal with on a daily basis, and yet, their hearts still seek love and hope. A truly compelling tale with a cliffhanger ending, but the emotional investment is solidly there at the end of the story.
Sieged by Rym by Yvette Hines is a wickedly sexy brew of paranormal, science-fiction and erotica. The battle of the sexes feels like a tennis match between the elite — thanks to Hines’ artistry with suspense and sexual tension.
So you can imagine that I was big smiles and hugs after this article. Please go to it and share it on your Facebook and Twitter pages. If you have other social media platforms, share them there as well.
We really want to get the word out. If you’ve never purchased a book online, take the leap of faith with us and purchase ours. After all, it’s only 99 cents.
More to come….

Ten Questions for Author Latrivia S. Nelson
By: Gina Morris
1. How would you describe yourself?
I’m a pretty laid back person. What you see is what you get. I love my family, my friends, my professional career and my hobbies.
2. What do you do outside of writing?
I’m the President and CEO of RiverHouse Publishing. I am a partner in a national cleaning service. And from 9-5, I represent some of the nation’s most promising businesses, political figures, non-profits and initiatives at a world-class public relations firm.
3. What made you start to write interracial romance?
I’ve been writing since I was four. I had my first poem published when I was five. I started to write interracial romance in high school and finally committed to my first novel in undergrad. I have always been drawn to the genre and felt like the only way to truly share my vision of IR was to write it.
4. How did you grow such a large readership?
I started out with 50 people whom I had to beg to write my book. Then I developed a small grassroots marketing plan and started to reach out to IR readers. My base went from 50 to 500 overnight and now it is at 50,000 readers globally. Three of my basic tenets is to respond to emails, encourage open and honest dialogue and write to entertain. I always want my readers to know that I appreciate them and their opinions and their support. So, I do what I can to show that through my communications.
5. Is it true that you’ve dated Russian mobsters?
It’s true that I’ve dated a Russian. The rest is funny fiction. I don’t know where the rumor started, but it was shortly after a post that my ex put on my page who also happened to be a 6’8”, blue-eyed Russian. He was the muse for the book, but the rest is just an overactive imagination.
6. With over 10,000 reviews online on combined sites, most people seem to either love you or hate you. How do you handle bad reviews?
I read the reviews to gather input, but I have learned to only take the good from even the worst review. One of the things that I remind myself of constantly is that after I’ve done my best, I just need to walk away from the project and move on to something else. It keeps it fun and light and allows me to keep writing. Plus, you can’t please everyone. So, I don’t try. If I can please the majority, then I’m a happy camper.
7. What is the process for you writing a novel, whether short or long?
I ask myself if I’d fantasize about the scenario. And if I would, then I write it. If I get bored with even the thought of the storyline, then I dump it. There are so many half-finished manuscripts on my desk, until it’s not even funny. But if I don’t think its good enough, I don’t give it to my readers, because they deserve my best. I normally start out with an outline, cut out pictures, develop a soundtrack and then depending on the mood of the book, I carve out time during certain parts of the day to write it.
8. Your divorce was pretty public? How did you handle it and are you dating now?
I encourage all women and men going through a tough divorce to pray hard and know that this is just a season in your life. Wake up every day and look forward. Visualize where you want to be and get there through hard work, prayer and healthy living. It was hard at first. I lost a lot of weight, was sick, got out of my normal schedule and really had to find out who I was without the “Mrs.” on the front of my name. But in searching for the new me, I discovered that there was a better me around the corner.
Yes, I am dating now. I’m in a happy relationship with a real “Southern Gentleman”. LOL. He’s funny and smart, but I think that outside of what he brings to the table, I’m a whole person, so we can mutually complement each other. You can’t do that when you don’t have it together yourself. There will always be one step forward and two steps back. But Trivi is okay now.
Plus, I like that every day with him is exciting. We are both parents, both divorced and both anxious to see what life has in store for us. Hopefully, what is in store will be something that we can enjoy together.
9. Do readers have new characters to look forward to in 2014?
The Medlov Men will be out in January. The Nine Lives of Kat Steele will be out in 2014. And there will be new characters will completely different stories for The Lonely Heart Series.
10. What’s next for you? You’ve accomplished so much in a short time. What else are you looking to achieve?
In 2014, I will be trying my hand at merchandising through a new company that I’m launching. Trivi’s Treasure Chest. There will be more to come on that, but I hope that the ladies like it.
The next set of questions are meant strictly for entertainment. So have fun with it.

The Chronicles of Young Dmitry Medlov: Volume 6
A year after Dmitry Medlov makes a deal with his lover/business partner, Elsa, and her father, a general in the Angolan MPLA to provide all of their munitions, he hands over the reigns of the agreement to her fully in order to take on more lucrative and legal ventures in Milan, Italy.
Wrapped up in a huge development deal to build a new skyscraper, he turns his attention away from the Medlov Crime Family to strengthen the newly acquired, Hutton Industries. Only his trust in those whom he has put in charge is quickly found to be misplaced.
His brother, Ivan, is building an army right under his nose to distribute and sell drugs at his clubs through the very men he was commissioned to kill and his new king maker’s son, Vladimir is helping to destroy him one secretive deal at a time.
Meanwhile, Elsa and Ivan’s wife, Arie, wage war on each other, not only over territory but also over Dmitry’s affection. When Dmitry discovers all of the backstabbing schemes going on around him, he is forced to make life-changing decisions.
Read the sixth installment of national bestselling Author Latrivia Nelson’s The Chronicles of Young Dmitry Medlov as the famous Russian brothers finally reach the point of no return.
