New Release Post for Alyssa Fox J
Hi Alyssa, readers and visitors! It’s great to be here today talking about hot
summer reads, rock stars and a cute country town that has no idea what it’s in
for when native son Jaxon James returns home.
Sin’s Flower was such a fun
book to write because of those opposing dynamics. I’ll give Jaxon credit, he tried to be good
for his homecoming. It just didn’t go
quite as planned. I hope you enjoy the
sneak peek I’ve brought with me today.
Stay cool and have a great summer!
Love stories rock!

Flower Blurb:
When Jaxon James, a sexy rock star and
struggling single-father, is invited to ditch California and spend Christmas in
Tennessee with his estranged family, he hesitantly accepts for his young daughter’s
sake. But his attraction to his best
friend’s baby sister, Lily Elstone, threatens to unravel the bonds he’s made
for his daughter. The honorable thing to
do would be to give up Lily. But his
instincts are telling him she’s exactly the one who could bring light to his
life and the missing fire to his bed.
Unfortunately, Lily's too sweet for his world. He fears his rock and roll life style will
taint her. How far are Jaxon and Lily
willing to go to find what’s missing at home?

Flower Excerpt:
Jaxon watched Lily’s
hands sinking down into the sand from behind as hesitancy chopped up his
steps. Years of ending up in dire
situations had made him a decisive man when he needed to be. He was making one of those executive
decisions right now. It didn’t matter
why she’d come. And he was close to
dismissing his reluctance over whose baby sister she was. Not when she wore that swishing angelic
lavender top that covered her from neck to shoulder to fingertip, driving him
insane with curiosity. God, and that
flaming hair which had gone from neon just yesterday to a flattering shade of
cinnamon temptation tonight. His grip
tightened around the folding chairs he’d gone to fetch. Purposefully, he slowed down.
Then stopped.
Wanting her was one
thing, but hurting this young woman was not okay.
Standing back, he took
another couple minutes to contemplate what could happen tonight. What he could control and make happen.
He knew they should
talk. He just hoped she didn’t mind how
close he intended on being to her while that happened. His grip loosened and one of the folding
lounge chairs fell to the sand. There
would be plenty of room for the both of them on the one. He walked until he made it back to her side
and unfolded the chair to its full length.
“Uh, hi,” she said
shyly, her brow furrowing in concentration.
“Hey.” He sat down and held his arms out to assist
her. “Sit with me?” He hadn’t given her much of a choice and
caught her eye scanning the sandy trail where he’d come from. “Yeah, I figured we didn’t need that one.”
“Oh, okay. Wait, just so we’re clear here. You want me to sit, where exactly?”
God, she would kill him
tonight. That amount of cute couldn’t be
faked. “Here, with me.” Her eyes widened in disbelief so he scooted
until he was flush with the back of the nylon chair and then opened his legs,
letting one straddle each side. “There’s
room.”
“You’re crazy,” she said
shaking her head.
He let out a faked
huff. His quick decision had been too
fast for her and she wouldn’t believe this was his way of comforting her. “I’ll go fetch the other chair.”
She gouged her hand into
her hip. “Wait. It’s just…I really don’t think I’m gonna
fit.”
A hurricane couldn’t
have swayed her decision to stay put.
But she eventually bent her knees, bracing herself with strong hands,
and lowered herself until her squeezable bottom met the chair. Because he wanted her closer, he took the
liberty of placing his hands at each side of her waist and scooted her back
until she was flush with his chest and his lap.
On second thought, that
was way too close.
Someone would kill him
for the throbbing going on so close to their little sister. He wiggled an inch of space between Lily and
his now obvious and straining erection.
The last thing he wanted to do was leave her thinking he was incapable
of a conversation without sex ending up front and center. He had amazing amounts of control in that
department. It came along with all the
years he’d practiced on the road.
Tonight, plainly put, he just wanted to be close to someone, to
Lily. And this was the way he knew how
to do that.
“So what did you want to
talk about?” he asked.
“I, I don’t know.” It sounded like nerves had her.
They didn’t have to
start with words. Fuck him for his
appetite but he could say more by doing this anyway.
Hey
you, horny fucker. This is the part
where you pat her on the head, say you’re sorry, and send her back to her big
sister. This is not the time for
indulging. Pack it up, Jaxon.
Yeah, no questions about
it. That’s what he should do.

about Carlene:
Carlene Love Flores is a big fan of the
stars (especially Orion), honest music (especially Depeche Mode), and her
travelling family (no favorites there-she loves them all). These things have
always inspired her to think up edgy, intimate love stories and continue to do
so. If she could touch someone’s heart with her writing the way others have
done for her, she’d say truly there never lived a luckier girl.
