Excerpts
Placing the cakes on the rack to cool, I fall back against the counter as I try to catch my breath and slow my racing heart. My fists are clenched and I’m digging my nails into my palms trying to get my equilibrium back under control. Because all I really want to do is march back out there, to the middle of my shop, and climb onto him… and let him climb inside of me.
The urge to run my hands all over his body and explore the new tattoos with my fingers and tongue are so strong that the biting of my nails into my palm is literally the only thing stopping me. The kitchen door opens, “Lex? Is everything ok?”

1. What's your inspiration for "Alluring Turmoil"?I’ve been an Indie Editor for 3 years, one day this summer, I finally decided to just sit down and take the story that had been pushing closer and closer to the front out of my head and onto the laptop. Why is Jude a rock star? I have no idea. Probably because all women have the “bad boy with tattoos” somewhere in their line-up of what they find sexy. Add a motorcycle and a voice that melts your heart, and Jude was born.
Lexi owns a coffeeshop/bakery because it’s actually a dream of mine and I felt it would add a nice aspect to the story
Alluring Turmoil is based in Baton Rouge, Louisiana and you will find a lot of Louisiana locations and flare in the book. The location was a no brainer for me, since Louisiana is home and I always tell authors through my editing to “write about what you know.”
2. As a writer, what's the biggest problem that you've encountered?
I think the biggest hurdle for me was approaching blogs and trying to get them interested in taking a chance on me and my work, since I’m an unknown. But I have to be honest, for the most part blogs and authors have been so supportive and willing to help.
3. As Jude is a rock star, who's your favorite rock star? And what do you think makes rock stars so hot?
My personal favorite rock star is probably Adam Levine. I know that’s a little cliche, but he’s just so intriguing. Personally, I think rock stars touch a chord with people because they are personified as “bad boys”. Most have the “devil may care” attitude,tattoos, cocky smirks, and panty melting voices. Put all of it together and it’s a man you shouldn’t even like, but you can’t help but want.
4.How did you move past your worst heartbreak?
My worst heartbreak… well for a while, I went a little wild, but then I met the “right” person (my husband) and things just fell into place. Bottom line though, is I had to keep living. Waiting and wallowing in depression is not healthy and changes nothing.
5. Any message to your readers?
I’d like to thank my “fans” and the readers who may become fans for taking the time to take a chance on me. I fell completely in love with my characters and I hope that all of you will as well. And I’d like to offer up some unwarranted advice… If you have a dream, take a chance. If you don’t try, you’ll never know true success. You might fail, but if you don’t try, you’ll always wonder, and you just might surprise yourself… and others. :)

Holy smoke I just finish reading this book and I have to say I love it. I couldn't put the book down, I want more of this series, this book is the perfect start for this series, this story it Hot, Sexy, Romantic, and Funny, I have to say it made me cried and it made me mad a couple of time but I love every single minute of it. I really enjoy and felt in love with this book.
This book is HOT THE SEX SCENE ARE RED HOT, I cant remember when was the last time that I read a book and it made me take a cold shower that's how hot this book will make you.
I love the characters, love it how they have a really strong friendship, that are always gone be there for you to help you pick you up when you are broken, and that they wont never leave you, and always treat you like you are part of the family, that's how you get to know who you true friends are.
Love the character of Alexia Sloane (aka) Lexi, has her own successful business she owns a coffee shop/bakery in Louisiana called Java and Sweeties, she is a smart funny beautiful young woman. she knows what she wants and she fight for what she wants but she has a weakness and that is the love of her life.
Love the character of Jude Delecroix, now what can I say about Jude is a sexy rock start, he is the lead singer for one of the most famous rock ban in the country name Bayou Stix. he has tattoo owns a bike and I just love his attitude, what I like the most about him is the way he loves.
Lexi and Jude have not seen each other for eight years, and they have a past the story beginning with Lexi doing her own stuff in her shop and her best friend trying to convince her to go to the concert. as soon as she agree to go the one and only person that she has love walks in, Jude see her for the first time in eight years and his world goes up side down. right there you can see and feel how much they love each other and they never stop, that's when Jude decide to do everything in his powers to get his woman back.
Through out the entire story you get the feelings that Jude is hiding a terrible secret from Lexi. But wow you will be so surprise what it is when you get to that part.
