own and their pleasure. I'm not writing to get rich, I'm just writing for
smiles.
NIH
- What types of books do you like to read?
TA - I like books that wreck me, destroy me and leave me gasping
for air.
NIH

Something more than is in your Bio.

NY and Miami.
NIH

typing and 7hrs later I was starting to get the hang of it and didn't stop
until I got to 100K words.
NIH

TA - It was floating in my head and I made it real by writing it
down.
NIH

TA - I don't think I'm seasoned enough as an author to dish out advice.
I'm still learning myself.
NIH
- Which author do you admire and why?
TA - Most of the authors I admire are dead. I am however obsessed
with Stephen King, I think he's a genius and I love how generous he is with his

love the way her brain works.

TA - I'm currently writing book II in the Audio Fool series,
which is the continuation to LOVE IN REWIND.

characters? Would you keep the same
title as the book?

everybody visualizes)
TA - Emily Marcus: Kate Upton
TA - Sara Klein: Kate Moss
TA - William Knight: Jacey Elthalion
NIH
- Do you let your husband, parents, children, friends read your books?
TA - Yes, yes, no, yes…
NIH
- If you were to date one of your characters who would it be and why?
TA - Louis Bruel but I'd have to be Emily to keep his attention
so I'll stick with my husband.
NIH

locked. I only write about things I know.
NIH
- Have you ever received a reviewed that shocked you or made you cry or even
had you jumping in excitement?
TA - Yes, many reviews do that to me. I'm very emotional and
when readers tell me their feelings and thoughts on my writing and if it's the
exact feelings I was hoping to stir in them I get very excited.
NIH
- How did you come up with the title?
TA - Just made sense with the story. My characters talk in 80's
song lyrics to each other and the story is a love story told backwards… so LOVE
IN REWIND made factual sense.

NIH
- How do you take in or deal with a bad review?
TA - A review is a review good or bad I'll take it. You can't
only get good reviews! You need the bad reviews to appreciate and be thankful
for the good ones.
NIH
- What is the weirdest request you have received from your fans?
TA - I haven't been asked for anything weird. My fans are all
cool… so far.
NIH
- Do you own a pair of CFM heels? If so
– do you leave them on during sex?
TA - Yes and Yes.
NIH
- Has a particular book ever made you so horny that you jumped your partner?
TA - The audio book for my novel LOVE IN REWIND is off the
charts sexy; especially with the male narrator reading Louis' parts. ((heart-failure))

Review (by Trish)
5 intense, passionate, powerful
STARS
Tali Alexander – what an EPIC love story you wrote. Thank you, thank you, thank you for bringing
us Louis Bruel and Emily (Marcus) Bruel. Incredible. Sexy. Sensual.
Controversial. Dramatic. Suspenseful.
Heart wrenching. Beautiful. Overwhelming.
Ahhhhmaaaziiiing.
I loved every second, every minute, every word in this book.
Your writing is brilliant. The
story was exceptionally written. It
flowed beautifully from one scene to another.
I really just could not get enough. I loved how Emily told us her story.
Her love story – in rewind – with all its ups and downs until the
present day.
And your incorporation of 80’s music lyrics into this story. So insightful, fascinating and fun.
It was so descriptive and controversial, with so much lust and love, so
much despair and hurt, so much misunderstanding and drama, and so much more I
want to read.
Louis Bruel – older, wealthy, gorgeous, arrogant, possessive,
authoritative, commanding, powerful.
Emily Marcus – young, naïve, pure, innocent and beautiful.
How could you hate Louis Bruel? I
absolutely adored him. I loved his
arrogance, his age and worldly knowledge.
I found him intoxicating and just understood how Emily felt about
him. I loved his primal want of Emily
from the moment he laid eyes on her. I
loved how his intentions change from one thing to another. How Emily made him feel. How she made him want to be better. And the fact that Emily – so young, beautiful
and innocent, could change a man like Louis – well that blew me away. It was truly a fairytale love story. One I was riding the whole time with Emily.
Louis
“Are you trying to make me come in my pants in front of all my clients,
little girl?” he asked.
Fuck, I need to breathe. He
continued whispering into my ear, making every hair on my body stand at
attention.
“I’ve been jerking off to the vision of your tits in that white top for
at least two weeks.”
They way Louis talks to Emily.
The way he adores her. The way he
lusts for her. So passionate, so
intense, so sexy.
Louis
“Emily … Em … where did you come from?
And what are you doing to me? I’m
too old for you, but I can’t stop. I
can’t think. I can’t even play it
cool. I want to be inside you so fucking
bad … I think I’m gonna explode.
And Emily – how beautiful is she.
Not a hateful bone in her body.
Always so trusting, so loving, so caring. She is one very lucky, lucky lady. I would be feeling the same way about Louis
Bruel as she did. How could you not be
attracted to Louis Bruel?
But will Emily always be so trusting of Louis? What does the future hold for her and
Louis? Will she be able to cope with
life married to Louis Bruel?
Emily & Louis
I manage to say, “Louis, I’m sorry.
I’ve never done this before,” in a small whisper into his neck.
“Baby, I meant you’re amazing. I
didn’t know there were women like you out there. I’ve never wanted anything as much as I want
you right now. I’m about to blow my load
in my pants like a horny little teenager.
He kissed me and then looked at me with his intense gaze.
“You have these big blue, innocent eyes that I’m slowly drowning in
every time I look into them. Your lips
and these fucking tits will be my kryptonite.
I adored the way Louis called Emily “little girl” – so erotic and sexy and
almost forbidden. Knowing she was so
much younger than him. It sent chills
down my spine just knowing how much it really meant. To him and to her.
There is so much more to this book than just Emily and Louis’ love
story. I recommend you read it for
yourself if you love a hot, erotic, controversial love story with lots of sex
and drama thrown in to the mix.
I love her against reason…against promise…against peace…against
hope…against happiness…against all discouragement that could be.”
Tali Alexander -you had me at every word, every sentence, every scene.
OMG I just can’t express how much I loved this story.
Love happens, any time, any place, for every
person – no matter what your age is.
I want so much more of Louis and Emily.

5 Amazing Stars
Love In Rewind by Tali Alexander should be on everyone's TBR List.
I enjoyed every minute of this book from start to finish...I didn't want it to end!
I laughed, I cried and screamed at my iphone like a crazy person (luckily in the privacy of my home lol).
I
just loved the dynamic of the characters and how this book was written,
how from the beginning you're made to believe or think one thing and
then see their love story and keep wondering how can it be?
Then get to the end and be like "I knew it, I knew It".
The sexiness of the love scenes in this story are just HOT HOT HOT!!!!
I
loved (contrary to what I've heard and read) the "Little Girl" nickname
given to Emily from Louis, I think its perfect considering the ages
when they met.
Clearly not all books are for everyone but this one is definitely a MUST read!!!
Tali I NEED the next book please......

Tali I NEED the next book please......
I
didn’t need to look back to know who was behind me. His scent alone
added another milliliter of arousal to my underwear. I couldn’t turn
around, he was leaning into me so close. I could feel his heat as his
wide muscular chest pressed against me, enveloping me. Heart don’t fail
me, now. Please don’t stop beating, I kept repeating to myself as my
heartbeat started increasing to presto speed.
“Are you trying to make me come in my pants in front of all my clients, little girl?” he asked.
Fuck,
I need to breathe. He continued whispering into my ear, making every
hair on my body stand at attention. “I’ve been jerking off to the vision
of your tits in that white top for the last two weeks.”
I think I officially stopped breathing when he said, “your tits.”
“Please
tell me you’re at least eighteen. I really don’t want to go to jail.
But I think it might be worth it even if you’re not.”
Okay, Emily, snap out of it. Say something adult and memorable. This was my chance.
“Yeah, I’m eighteen…” I finally said, a little breathlessly. He
got a little closer as his whole body shook laughing at my pathetic
comment. I could faintly feel something hard bulging out and grazing my
lower back. I was afraid of having a spontaneous orgasm if he got any
closer.
“Thank
… you … God. So you must be Jenna’s little sister?” he asked, sending
chills through my overheated body. My underwear was soaked by now. Even I
could smell how aroused I was.
“If Mike knew what I wanted to do to his hot little sister-in-law right now, he’d have my balls.”
I
still hadn’t turned around. My legs were shaking; my brain was drawing a
blank. I was much braver in my fantasies. Thank God there was no one in
the kitchen to see us. WAIT! Reality hit me—where was everybody?
Shouldn’t the other staff members be helping me with the clean up? Oh my
God, can somebody see us? I thought. I remembered the one-way glass and
started to turn my head around to check just in case anyone else was
there. That’s when Louis Bruel’s lips brushed my cheek as I turned my
head. I guess that was the official moment I stopped breathing. I
gathered all my strength and turned to face him inside his loose grip. I
looked up at him, trying to seem in control of the situation. After
what felt like twenty minutes of me craning my head up to his towering
height, he broke our silent stare-off.
“I
can’t believe how beautiful your eyes are, little girl. They remind me
of the water in Turks and Caicos. Your hair is the color of the sand
there.”
