BOOK BLURB
When all that you want, is all that’s forbidden...
I’ve known him my entire life.
Before marriage.
Before fatherhood.
Before betrayal.
Now, he’s one of rock’s bad-boys trying to be good.
Trying to be the best father he can for his daughter.
He’s my brother’s best friend.
He’s my boss.
He has a wife.
Max isn’t mine to have, but I want him all the same.
And I haven’t survived all that I have to not go after what I want.
Her story is a tragedy, mine’s a publicity disaster.
Just when I needed her most, she walked back into my life, and the timing couldn’t be worse.
With a newborn baby, a divorce, an album to record, and a world tour to plan, I don’t need the distraction.
She’s off limits.
She’s my best friend’s little sister.
She’s my nanny.
Billie’s a golden drop of sexy sun on a grey autumn day, tempting me into the light and a life full of possibilities.
A life not meant for us.

EXCERPT
It’s at that point I notice Billie climbing from the car. Although, if Mel hadn’t told me, I’d never have recognised the girl standing on my drive as Billie Wild.
She closes the car door and turns towards me.
Silence.
She stares down at her feet as she moves slowly along my driveway. When she reaches the front of the car, she looks up. The bluest of blue eyes meet mine, and she stops moving.
Deafening silence.
No birds singing.
No traffic sounds.
The silence is so loud it hurts my ears.
What. The. Actual. Fuck?
She takes a step towards me, and my hearing returns. The gravel crunches beneath her green biker boots, a pigeon coos, brakes screech, engines rev . . . a bomb could fucking drop, but nothing, not a single thing can divert my attention from Billie Wild as she moves towards me.
***4.5 ‘Bamm & Wilma’ Stars***
I knew things would be intense, but I didn’t expect things to go into craycray mode right off the bat. It had me going “Whoa...ok. She ain’t playing” and I’ll admit I didn’t know if I’d be able to deal with all that uber angsty-ness...but then things started to even out and I got quite comfortable in the rabbit hole I’d been pushed down and absolutely ate up the crazy, sweet, swoonworthy and smexy journey that Max, Billie and Layla were on.
I adored Billie and Max. Billie is sweet, sassy, compassionate and has a light inside of her that makes it hard not to take notice of her. She’s been through a lot in her young life, and though the ghosts still haunt her, she doesn’t allow them to keep her down. Instead she rises above them and lives her best life. Max, I hurt for the guy. I mean the saying “When it rains, it pours” is soo apt here, it’s insane. He’s a good guy trying to be the man his daughter needs him to be, but he is just a man that just had the rug pulled out from under him, so he’s a bit emotional. But I loved his honesty and how, with the help of his friends and family, he did get through it and became so much more.
As for their journey to their HEA. This baby is chock full of reasons why these two shouldn’t be together, so let’s list them: 1) age gap 2) the nanny issue 3) the whole brother’s bestie thing 4) the marriage issue. With all of those, it would seem like Max and Billie shouldn’t be together ~ or even attracted to each other ~ but if there were ever two people who SHOULD be together it’s these two. They flowed so well together. The chemistry between them was intense in every way and they brought out the best in each other and I loved every moment of watching them become each others.
This is my first read by the author and I loved it. There were a couple of places where it did drag for me, but overall, I thoroughly enjoyed the story. The characters were all well written, even the ones I wanted to gut with a spoon, and though it’s hard to pick a favorite amongst the ones I liked I adored Wendy and will definitely be looking out for what’s in store for Kenzie and Jake. There are some triggers, but they all added depth to the story and the characters growth, and were handled well.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Lesley was born and raised in a small working-class town in Essex, just outside of East London. She’s married with three sons and in 2006 they all moved to the other side of the world, settling on the beautiful Mornington Peninsula, about fifty kilometres outside of Melbourne, Australia.
Lesley is currently ‘a stay at home mum’, but in the past, she has worked at ‘good old Mark & Spencer’ for thirteen years and as a teacher’s assistant.As well as writing, Lesley loves to read and has been known to get through four or five books a week, when she’s not writing that is.
Her other interests are watching her boys play football… the round ball version. She’s happy to admit to being an addict of social media and owes a lot to her Facebook and Twitter family in promoting her book. Lesley is also rather partial to a glass or bottle of wine, a nicely chilled Marlborough Sav Blanc being her favourite.
Being a born and raised Essex girl, she will happily admit being a big fan of spray tans, manis, pedis, and is regularly, waxed, tinted and sculpted, although she doesn’t own a pair of white stilettos.
