Interview with Kayelle Allen, author of Antonello Brothers Series
Give a warm welcome to Kayelle Allen, author of Antonello Brothers Series. Pull up a chair, grab a drink of your choice from the cooler, a Chocolate Chip or Peanut Butter cookie from the plate, and let’s find out a little about Kayelle Allen and the Antonello Brothers Series.
Three brothers. One missing mother. Not raised together, none of the brothers know about the others. That is, until fate brings the youngest into the life of a former warrior-pirate. From the moment Luc decides to intervene and save a frightened child, nothing in Luc’s life will ever be the same.
♥ A Stolen Heart – This child can steal anything. Including a warrior-pirate’s heart…
♥ Bro – He can be invisible, but he can’t hide from the truth…
♥ At the Mercy of Her Pleasure – She’s addictive. He can’t touch her. But what if he kissed her just once…
♥ For Women Only – His secret truth is her people’s darkest lie…
♥ Crystal Clear Truth – How can you trust when your own truth is a lie…
If you like science fiction romance on the sweeter side, have an ache for wounded heroes, and admire heroines who don’t wait around to be rescued… The Antonello Brothers series is for you.
You’re up next Kayelle! LOL
What inspired this particular story?
This is a boxed set of all five stories in the Antonello Brothers series. I wanted readers to have a way to pick up all the books at a discount and be able to read straight through. There is a bonus story at the end and links to two other bonus goodies.
What makes you laugh out loud?
Unexpected things and quirky humor. Like a pun. I’m reading along, expecting one thing, and a twist of words sends me in a different direction. That can be really funny. And I love banter between characters.
If you had it all to do over again, what would you do differently?
I’d start a newsletter before I even released my first book. I’ve loved getting to know the people who subscribe to mine. Annoyed with myself that I didn’t see how great it would be earlier in my career.
Why did you choose the cover concept you did?
I hired GermanCreative on Fiverr. She’s done over 20 projects for me. I put it in her hands and give her the idea that I’m going for, and ask for a cover that will sell in the genre. She handles the rest. She and I worked out a branding look for me with certain fonts that are standard across all covers, and placement of my name and series. I love what she does for my covers.
Who is your favorite character of all of the books you’ve written and Why?
I’m supposed to say Pietas, my immortal king, because OMG have you seen the man? The model for Pietas is Nik Nitsvetov, and he’s an absolute dead ringer for the way I envision my snarky king. But to be honest, the person who molded Pietas into who is today is Six, from the Bringer of Chaos series. Without Six, Pietas would be a villain. With his friend’s influence, he became a mighty king.

Tell us a little about Ki’s Redemption.
Sexy Aliens/Sassy Dragons
Earth’s fate rests in the hands of shape-shifting dragons, studly aliens, and a determined woman who demands a say in her own fate. In this exciting finale of the An Alien Exchange trilogy, follow their adventures across the galaxy to a tale that features mounting action, stimulating passion, and heart-pounding emotions.
Sherrilyn Marie Cantor firmly believes success doesn’t come to those who sit around and wait for it to show up; it takes determination, discipline, and hard work. At thirty-four, she has it all – a successful business and more money than she can spend until a jealous partner sets her up and frames her for stealing trade secrets. She loses everything and faces a twenty-year federal prison sentence. When an unexpected offer to find “love among the stars” comes her way, she doesn’t hesitate to escape her unjust fate and leaves Earth forever.
A Zerin descended from a secretive line of dragon shapeshifters, M’alalu (Ki) Ki E’eur ignores the fact he’s living a half-life. Broken from childhood guilt for the murder of his parents and six year-old sister, he silently goes through the motions of everyday life. A former mercenary and friend of the crown prince of Zerin, Ki absorbs a debt his prince intended to take. He’s expendable; the prince isn’t. Now he’s in the crosshairs of a power-hungry despot determined to overthrow the current democratic galactic government.
A sneak peek between the pages of Ki’s Redemption
Being possessed sucked.
Yep, she, Sherrilyn Marie Cantor, was possessed—like “demon taking over your body” type of possessed. Instead of housing a spitting-pea-soup demon, Sherri endured an unwanted galactic gangster fighting for domination of her body and mind. From the moment the bubble housing the Dread Pirate Maynwaring popped over her face and his essence entered her, she’d been fighting for control. So far she’d kept a tight lid on things, but the whole situation was turning out to be a huge pain in the ass.
But, bright side, she had help from her Zerin shipmate, Ki. He’d taught her how to access the memories of her unwanted guest while at the same time keeping him locked away. Jeez, the spirit called himself Dread Pirate. What kind of name was that? Apparently, that wasn’t his original name, but something he’d adopted after hearing the story of The Princess Bride from a human slave. He’d become so enamored of the dread pirate character he changed his title.
What a snowflake.
What’sss a sssnowflake, human? He asked it in his normal, hissy tone.
How a disembodied entity had a tone was a mystery to her. He sounded like a snake with a speech impediment. She created a visual of sticking his stupid forked tongue between his teeth and clamping his mouth shut then taping it closed. And, if he called her human in that derogatory manner one more time….
Ki’s training kicked in. Instead of imagining the pain she’d rather give, she created a dark, dank pit to throw his happy ass in.
No…no, don’t ssssnd me there again!
Sherri imagined throwing his bright orb down a bottomless cavern before rolling an avalanche of sharp, heavy rocks to cover the hole. Dust billowed up and down before it settled in a thick layer to create a mountain to contain him. Then she pictured the mountain folding upon itself, repeatedly, until it was a speck of light flashing out of her thoughts.
Unfortunately, this exercise never held him for long. One minute he’d be gone (treasured silence), and the next, he’d be right back butting in and making snarky comments every chance he got. You’d think he’d be smart enough to keep his mouth shut so she didn’t know he was there.
Whoa…where’d that creepy idea come from? Sometimes the hair on the back of her neck broke out in chill bumps as if someone looked over her shoulder. What if…what if she wasn’t aware when he wormed his way out? Was he spying on private intimate things she was obsessed with…like say, a certain tall, well-built, sexy-as-sin Zerin named Ki…
Damn it! She shook her head to get rid of that image. She didn’t trust people outside of her body, much less the asshole inside. Only constant vigilance on her part would keep the alien in the hole she’d put it in. Shit, no wonder she was tired all the time.
Sherri sat with her feet over the side of the comfortable bed she’d slept in. She had to admit, she was happy enough with the accommodations aboard the organic AI ship called “Elemi.” Still, she could do without the snarky attitude the female contraption gave her all the time. The sleek 11-15 ship apparently came with a load of baggage, and not the kind Sherri liked to use on vacations.
