What do you like best about being a musician? Getting to
talk to and tease excited, squealing young women such as yourself never gets
old. And I can think of worse things than making music with my best friends and
traveling around the world making people happy.
They say rock stars don’t follow rules…how do you feel about
rules? Oh,
I like them. A lot. Games wouldn’t be much fun without rules to break. I’m
sitting here hoping you agree. You do agree, don’t you Miss Elyzabeth?
Does Sin Pointe have any rules? Sure we do. But I
can’t share, cariño. If I did, I’d have to make you swear to secrecy and I sorta
promised Carlene I’d be on my best behavior tonight. Contrary to the image, I
have a lot of respect for you ladies. I do try to be nice. Most of the time.
Do you have a lot of groupies? I’ve recently read that bass
players are the most ignored group members in a band, but then again, you’re
also the singer so I don’t think this really applies to you… does it? Define a
lot. Oooo, sweet Elyzabeth. This is a damn sticky question that could get me sent
to the dog house but for you, I’ll do my best to answer. There are many Sin
Pointe groupies. God, you gotta love their passion. I, however, am no longer
“having” them. But ignored? Me? Nope. I can honestly say that is not one of my
problems.
Groupies aside, I hear you’ve met a girl. A special girl… Yes, let’s
thank the groupies but keep them off to the side. Because yeah, you caught me.
There is a special someone I have my eye on.
What makes her different from other women? That very
thing you just asked me about. Being ignored. She has this crazy ability to
blow me off. Just walk away, like that. It stings like hell, but I love it too.
And I won’t lie, she’s smart to do it. My track record with relationships is
pretty much non-existent.
How do you plan on seducing her? Well, our first
encounter was a hot mess and didn’t have the ending I was hoping for. She wants
those rules you mentioned earlier. She’s got this gorgeous smile. I see it
every time we get a second alone and I tease her. But then she pulls away and
reminds me about this crazy deal we made to be just friends. I’ve never had to
think so hard about seducing a woman in all my life. She, uh, she’s a good
girl, though. No matter what anyone in this small town thinks. I guess my plan
is to try and be good too for a change. And if that doesn’t work, I’ve seen her
checking me out in my white sleep pants.
If you could do anything differently in your life, what would it
be? Wow.
I wasn’t expecting that one. Good for you, sweetheart. You know what? I used to
be a real dick and say to interviewers that unless we were screwing, the shit
I’ve done in the past shouldn’t be any of your concern. I’m trying not to be
that ass anymore and you’re way too sweet for that crap. There are plenty of
things I could do better the second time around. If I had to pick just one, I’d
say to have stuck around and been a better son. When Carlene let me know she
was ready to take down my story, that was the first thing we talked about. Mi Mama.
I guess it’s why the book starts with me finally going back home to her.
Running into my “special friend” along the way is just the icing on the cake.

Hey, thanks for the

least bad you can be. Freaking Thomas More. Genius.

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.

About Carlene:
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.
