Steamy Holidays 4
“Surfing, hot rods, and a flower shop?”
A carefree young florist is living the dream—sexy beach play with a cool surfer dude and backseat bingo with a leather jacket-wearing hotrodder, and running the cutest flower shop in town.
But an eviction notice pops that balloon.
An enamored town clerk tries to help her—but too much could cost him his job.
Her friends? Caught in the snare of a slick property developer and his shady lawyer.
And Annette? She's being seduced by the one man she really shouldn’t fall for… the property owner himself.
Can she save her flower shop—and choose the right man before it’s too late?
Ready to hit the surf 🌊?
When she hears the bell, she takes a deep breath and fakes another smile.
It’s Frankie. The sight of this clean-cut guy in his oversized dorky jacket is the last thing she expected. Tears stream from her eyes. She pushes into his open arms.
Frankie’s eyes get moist when Annette shakes against his chest. His arms reach all the way around her. He caresses her auburn hair. Her tears trickle through his shirt.
After a few minutes, there’s less shaking and more sniffing. She looks up at him. Even like this, she’s the most beautiful woman he’s ever seen. He smiles.
“Hey, buy you a cup of coffee?”
She smiles back, but tears start streaming again. She pushes her face into his chest. After a moment, Annette looks up again.
“Sorry. Your shirt’s all wet… And I think there’s some mascara smudges there as well.”
“I have another shirt.”
READ MORE“Really?”
“Yeah. But just the one.”
“Don’t tell me: you alternate them every day.”
“Hey! No one notices.”
“That’s what you think. Women notice everything.”
“My mother lives in Sacramento.”
“No lady friends, huh?”
“How can you tell?”
“You have two shirts that you alternate. And you wear your father’s jacket.”
“My big bother’s…”
COLLAPSELiam Ashford on Goodreads wrote:⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Smart, sexy, and surprisingly emotional, Annette’s Flower Shop is a bold erotic drama set against the sunlit waves and smoky nightclubs of 1950s California. J. Tiffany Noore trades the Haremlit genre for a more personal, focused journey through one woman’s fight to keep her independence—and her flower shop—in a world that’s eager to silence or seduce her. Annette is radiant: confident, passionate, and unashamed of what she wants. Whether she’s surfing, hot-rodding, arranging bouquets, or making love in a Thunderbird, she’s always reaching for freedom on her own terms.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Hotter than a beach bonfire and sweeter than a bouquet of Mariposa lilies, Annette’s Flower Shop shows just how dangerously good J. Tiffany Noore is when she turns up the heat outside her usual Haremlit playground! Annette’s adventures in love, business, and steamy beach rendezvous deliver scene after scene of sizzling chemistry. But it’s not just the wild fun that makes this story bloom—it’s the way Noore weaves a heartfelt ensemble of surfers, hot-rodders, and flower-shop dreamers into one irresistible retro tapestry. Malibu’s sun-drenched coast has never looked so inviting—or so complicated. (...)
