A warm welcome to author Liv Olteano joining us today to talk about new release “Star-Crossed Lover”, part of the Dreamspun Beyond series by Dreamspinner Press.
Liv talks to us about the dreamcatchers world, shares a mini excerpt and brought a giveaway to participate in!
Welcome Liv 🙂
Why the Dreamcatchers’ world is one I’d love to live in
Not to toot my own horn here – though it does sound mildly dirty and potentially like a lot of fun, right? Haha. But the world of the Dreamcatchers series is a pretty cool one. Why?
- While you’re asleep, there are badass fighters guarding you. And they’re hot. Technically, you don’t get to see them on the job unless you have the potential to join them, but the mere possibility of waking up in the middle of the night and seeing this super hotstud fighting some scary stuff to keep you safe, all in the comfort of your bedroom – who wouldn’t want that, right? No? It’s just me? Well…*awkward laugh*
- There’s someone in the world (dreamcatchers themselves, not the population at large, but still!) who can eat and drink all they like, without getting more than slightly buzzed and never getting fat. I’d so sign up to be part of their team, like a PA or something at least. My filing skills could be described as supernatural, I’m sure, hahaha.
- Meant-to-be lovers get together one way or another and find true happiness together. God knows we need more of that in our day-to-day lives, right?
Need I say more? Sign me up for the Seattle Dreamcatcher Express! Want to come with? xD
Star-crossed Lover (Dreamcatchers #2, Dreamspun Beyond #25)
By Liv Olteano
MxM Adult Paranormal Romance
Release date: August 7 2018
Cover designer: Aaron Anderson
Blurb:
A love worth crossing the stars for.
Taka has been a dreamcatcher and part of Team 32 for over six decades, but nobody has tempted him like Ginger—a dancer at club Zee. Too bad dreamcatchers aren’t allowed to have meaningful relationships with regular people. His willpower proves a finite resource, though, when a mission at the club means spending much more time around Ginger.
Ginger’s infatuation with Taka is unwavering. When he proves to have some paranormal skills of his own, he earns himself a place on the team—if he wants it. His decision will change his life—not to mention Taka’s—irrevocably.
But living in the now could prove an issue for a man who has as much history as Taka. Can Ginger’s determination help him make his way into Taka’s heart?

About Liv Olteano:
Liv Olteano is a voracious reader, music lover, and coffee addict extraordinaire. And occasional geek. Okay, more than occasional.
She believes stories are the best kind of magic there is. And life would be horrible without magic. Her hobbies include losing herself in the minds and souls of characters, giving up countless nights of sleep to get to know said characters, and trying to introduce them to the world. Sometimes they appreciate her efforts. The process would probably go quicker if they’d bring her a cup of coffee now and then when stopping by. Characters—what can you do, right?
Liv has a penchant for quirky stories and is a reverent lover of diversity. She can be found loitering around the Internet at odd hours and being generally awkward and goofy at all times.

“When I first looked into your eyes, I simply knew you were it for me. I could see it as clearly as I can see you now, standing in front of me. I’ve been looking for a home, and you’re going to be it for me. And I think you’ve been yearning for that too. I want to give you everything you could ever hope to get from a relationship. I’ll do everything in my power to show you just how perfect I know we can be for each other.”
“And you see it all so clear?”
“I do. I’ve learned since I was a kid to trust what I see. You’re my truth, Taka. You’re the truth and home of my heart. And it’s my honor to show you that I am yours.”
I felt light-headed. “I’m the older, more experienced one here. Wasn’t I supposed to be the one who’s super certain about everything?”
“Maybe you’ve met your match, Mister Know-It-All.”

Congrats and thanks for the post. I’d have to say I’d take sassy over grumpy any day.
I don’t mind grumpy characters…unless they are a**holes as well :\
sassy characters are usually fun 🙂
[…] And so we’ve reached the last stop on the launch tour for Star-crossed Lovers, with the stop at Love Bytes Reviews about Why the Dreamcatchers’ world is one I’d love to live in. […]
I guess it depends on the situation…I may be in the minority, but I think grumpier folks are secret softies, whereas sassy people tend to sound mean at times. (Although sassy is funnier, I admit…depends on whether you’re the object of their shade or not.)
