Synopsis
She was mine. Our love unquestioned. Our futures planned. But she didn't show. All that we had, all that we meant, and after all that was said, she just didn't show. That one act by her changed everything, but it especially changed me and from that moment on, there was no going back. No words of love, no whispered promises, just sex and drugs and rock and roll. No one gets a piece of Reed, but what they will get is the night of their life, the chance to let go, break their own rules and enjoy the best, the dirtiest, filthiest sex ever... Along with the other four people in my bed.
I thought he loved me, I believed everything he said, every promise that he made but then, when I needed him more than I'd needed anyone in my life, when I was at my most vulnerable, he let me down. He chose to take a different path and leave me to pick up the pieces of my now broken life. I was changed forever and chose the easy option, letting others take charge of my destiny, until once again, I'm let down in the cruelest of ways.
Dirty filthy sex.
Love.
Heartbreak.
Betrayal.
High emotion.
And a bit more sex.
Conviction by International bestselling author, Lesley Jones has it all. Out March 2015.
Review
Standard ... I was given ARC for an honest review. As always I encourage you to judge for yourself as this is my opinion of this publication. Ok that is out of the way.
I can't just simply say i enjoyed the heck out of this little gem, oh no! It's just not that simple. The story starts out a little slow with developing the characters. But by the time I got to chapter 6 I was in love. Emotionally attached is more like it. The story line hits close to home... not so much the rock start (sadly) but the main story. I was engulfed in a wide range of emotions throughout the entire book.
Conner Reed! Holy hell!!!!! He is defiantly on my list of Book-Boyfriends. You know that dream guy we all have... sure you do we all have that one. Take charge, knows what he wants, not afraid to fight for it and when he loves it deep at that sweet spot. From the way he moves to the way he holds his love ... it's passion ... it's possession. That is Connor Reed. oh yeah he plays guitar.
Nina Matthews! Oh I am so girl-crushing on her. She touched my heart in so many ways. Her strong demeanor, tenaciousness, spirited soul, a little naughty. She is someone whom I can relate to on many levels and on certain characteristics wish to become. I love her drive of will to be herself and comfortable in her own skin.
As the story progresses the cast of characters lend themselves to there brand of fun adding comic relief or conflict. Though at times I wanted to throat punch one in particular. Like I said previously, the story was a little slow getting started but picked up pace very well.
Conviction is magical ... pulls on your sensory spots while colliding emotionally with the characters making this truly an epic tale. Nina and Conner take you on a journey of passion, rock n' roll & wine appreciation.
It really is hard writing this review without telling you everything thing I enjoyed about it. Because .... well it would be like the WHOLE book!
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Lesley Jones Biography
I was born and raised in a small working class town in Essex, just outside of East London. I am married with three sons and in 2006 we all moved to the other side of the world, settling on the beautiful Mornington Peninsula, about 50K outside of Melbourne, Australia. It's a whole new way of life for us down here, we are so lucky to live in such a beautiful part of the world.
I am currently a stay at home mum but in the past I have worked at Marks & Spencer, as a classroom
assistant/teachers aid and have run my business.
As well as writing, I love to read and have been known to get through four or five books a week. My other interests are watching my boys play football...The round ball version. I am happy to admit to being an addict of social media and I owe a lot to my Facebook and Twitter family in promoting my work. I am also rather partial to a glass... or bottle of wine, a nicely chilled Marlborough Sav Blanc being my favorite. Being a born and raised Essex girl, I will happily admit to be being a big fan of spray tans, Shellac and am regularly, waxed, tinted and sculpted, although I am more likely to be found in thongs/flipflops than a pair of white stilettos these days.
