Happy Hump Day everyone! Today, I have the great pleasure in welcoming back Carlene Love Flores. She's here to share her new release Wicked Flower. Book 5 in her Sin Pointe series. Sexy men. Rock band. Yum. :-)
Fall Greetings everyone! Thanks for having me back, Donina Lynn. When I visited in April, I brought Book 4 which is the Free Read of the Sin Pointe series and now I’m here with Book 5, Wicked Flower, which just released last week. All I can say is that time really does fly when you’re writing about sexy men! And I love me some rock stars. Don’t you? Especially this guy, Stefan Calderon. He’s the bass playing lead singer of Sin Pointe and he was a very patient man who waited all this time for me to work up the nerve to write his story down. It wasn’t always easy to type the words coming out of his delectable naughty mouth, but I did it and looking back now, his moments are some of my favorites of the series. While we’re out on tour, I thought it would be fun to share a fave at each blog stop. So thank you so much for having us and here is Stefan’s very first scene in the series. It pops up back in Book 1, Sidewalk Flower, as the heroine of that story, Trista, is remembering some of Stefan’s sage advice…
But to answer Lucky…she remembered how Stefan had summed it up for her one night after a gig Vangie had attended on the last tour. Trista had been hanging out in Stefan’s room, trying to stay out of the picture as much as possible when he said to her that he hated to be so vulgar, but to put it plain and simple, Jaxon was in it for the sex. Well, Stefan had said pussy, finger spelling it over his shiny black guitar, but she hated that word.
At least Stefan had been honest.
Ever since that night, she’d learned that no matter how close she felt to Jaxon, or how strong the urge was to make him see the truth in Vangie, it just wasn’t her place.
Another sound piece of advice Stefan had shared that night at seeing her hammering frustration was, “You’re not the one fucking her so why do you care?”
Geez, she missed him too. And he was right.
She didn’t have to go home to Vangie each night so it really wasn’t her problem. The theory was solid, except for the fact that she wasn’t a man who could easily make sense of such a simple analogy without feelings getting in the way. Trista was a woman with a bleeding heart and Jaxon was like her big brother.
But, he would have to see the light on his own. She hoped he’d make it out soon or this might really have to be her last tour as his assistant. Vangie’s denying him this trip had put them right back in the round. Jaxon was tied to that slobbering, crazed bull and she just didn’t know how much longer she could keep on chasing him around—his personal rodeo clown.
She looked over at Lucky and realized there was no way she could say Stefan’s words to him.
“You know, some women just know how to break a man. You should ask Stefan if you get to meet him. He’s got some pretty good theories on that.” She didn’t go any further. Lucky was right, she wasn’t going to put Vangie down. The woman did that well enough on her own.

And here is the Wicked Flower blurb:
~Editor’s Pick
Sin Pointe front man Stefan Calderon is playing a very dangerous game and his mom’s live-in caretaker, Dani Foster, just landed right smack in the middle of it.
Practically strangers when Stefan rolls into his small hometown looking to patch things up with Mom, his and Dani’s worlds collide with a hot and intense hook up. He knows right away this woman will make the perfect partner for his two weeks in town. But when she realizes whose son he is, and what he’s there to do, sexy times come to an abrupt halt.
That is until they come up with a solution. Rules. Every game needs them. The question isn’t if they’ll break them, but when and how hard.
It’s a wickedly delicious game, one neither of them intends to lose.

Carlene Love Flores is a big fan of the stars (especially Orion), honest music (especially Depeche Mode), and her traveling family (no favorites there-she loves them all). These things inspire her intimate style of romance writing. She feels honored to be a member of Washington DC Romance Writers (WRWDC), Romance Writers of America and the Waterworld Mermaids. Carlene currently lives in the San Diego area where she can often be found listening to live music and looking up at the sky on clear nights. 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.
