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.

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.

First page had me falling in love with Max Young. I was gone 🥰
After Sean Maca, Les creates another wronged man, whose life has turned topsy turvy In a matter of minutes. A man who can shed tears & show his vulnerability when overwhelmed with life, gets straight entry in my heart, it makes me want to cuddle him
“I want to be loved, Mum. I don’t want it to be about the fame, the band, or the money. I just want someone to love me. And I’m scared. I’m fucking terrified now that I’ll never have that."
A baby.
A disastrous public life.
Betrayal
He has all of them and deserves none at all.
Yet here he is...
Totally naked.
Semi-hard.
Zero fucks left to give.
Lesley created Carnage family and that both involved & invested in their lives. She repeats with this new family she creates in Young, Wild and Rong . All the characters are likeable, lovable and relatable.....as much as you can have affinity with Rock Star Celebrities, that is!!. Their lives are scrutinized, hounded and judged by constant media rags and gossip columns. As it is the creative people are more sensitive and sentimental, they think with their hearts. Now add to that the pressure of being under constant surveillance, and you have perfect recipe of biased publicity disaster. it's harsh and totally unfair but it's part of the package of fame
"What the fuck is happening to my life?"
Back to the story. Sentiments are raw and emotions are stripped naked.
Max Young has a massive responsibility on his hands and he needs a nanny. Step in Billie, Cal's young sister.
"Billie is a ripe, juicy, very forbidden fruit, but what I feel for her is far too important to me to involve her in the shitshow of my life."
She's hurt, broken, coming back home. The ready-made solution is what they BOTH need and their situation just fits together perfectly.....but for Whitney who's the new Whorley😡
Her dilemma is real and heartbreaking
"He’s a married man. He’s my boss. He’s my brother’s best friend. He’s all the forbidden things."
Lesley gives her characters enviable rich and famous lives but not an easy ride. They have to endure heartbreak of epic proportions and betrayals just like the commoners and this story is no different.
As much as i fell head over heels in love with soft hearted Max, Billie steals the show with her maturity. She's forced to grow up overnight, steels up her resolve to live and live fearlessly. And then she gives Max the crutches he needs for Layla.
I loved that it didn't become cheesy at any point. There was a rare occurrence of miscommunication leading to misunderstanding between the couple and Les didn't unnecessarily stretch it out.
Loved seeing some oldies guiding the newbies. Loved the family dynamics and supporting cast of characters too, how they were there for each other.
Enjoy this hell of ride through breakups, breakdowns and breakthroughs in a Rockstar life
4.5 Autumn Sunshine stars
