There was a time when Sebastian Wild had the music world eating out of his hands. Rock band, Fragile were at their height of fame when they gave it all up.

It seemed a good idea when Sebastian started Red & Black record label with his best friend, Alex Devlin. Sebastian was over the moon when Tara Adkins agreed to come on board to spearhead the marketing.

Sweet, innocent Tara. He knew her life choices and had no problem marrying her before he could take her to bed.
The problem? She was his best friend and only saw him as a rock star man whore.

Tara Adkins had been in lust with Sebastian for too many years. Lust had moved to love when she started working at Red & Black record label. The handsome, sexy rock star had her heart racing every time he walked into her office.

The problem? She wished she’d never told him about her rules of love. Date, marry then have sex. He was her best friend and only saw her as an innocent woman who was too buttoned up to let her wild side show.

Sebastian and Tara embark on a passionate journey, attempting to prove to each other that it only matters what they think about their relationship, not the public or his parents. Neither believes they are good enough for marriage.

Sebastian thought he had won her heart until Valentino, the devious, handsome Italian tries to lure Tara away.

Will Valentino beat Sebastian to marry Tara or will Tara listen to Sebastian’s parents and believe she is just another groupie to fall for the rock star?

The Recovery of Catherine Brodie Excerpt

Erin stood with the toes of her black brogues touching the metal strip that separated the corridor and the cellar. She was in the basement of Green’s, the sunlight filled the cellar room. Keeping her feet where they were, she stretched out her hand to search for the light switch to her left. The florescent lights buzzed as they took three tries to come to life. Pushing the metal door wide open, she let it bang against the wall. Glancing left and right as if she were crossing a road she poked her head into the room, supporting her body with her hands on the doorframe. Dozens of beer, cider and lager barrels were hooked up to piping that threaded up and through holes in the ceiling. A section to the right had floor to ceiling caging, the door locked with a padlock. In there were two bottles of every spirit Green’s sold on display with several boxes scattered on the floor. Erin clutched the bunch of keys in her hand, squeezing hard. Lifting one foot off the ground, she tentatively moved it over the threshold. Erin had been plucking up the courage to step back into the cellar for four years. A hand shoved her in the middle of her back from behind before her foot touched the floor. The hard shove caused her to trip and hop into the room. While her back was to the door, she heard it slam shut.

“At last, I have you alone, I’ve missed kissing those lips,” Patrick spoke quietly and slowly.

Erin froze where she had come to a stop. Her knees had met a metal beer barrel. She held onto the wooden supporting beam to her right to regain her composure. Patrick’s footsteps came nearer until they stopped directly behind her. She didn’t have the courage to turn around.

“Get out Patrick, you’ll never kiss me again.” Erin gritted her teeth as she spat out the words. A hand touched her shoulder and she whirled around to face Patrick. He wrapped his arms around her back and kissed her with his open mouth but Erin froze once more. The kiss didn’t last long, a few moments went by and then Erin heard a yelp that she didn’t make and she was free of Patrick’s embrace.

I read many different genres, for the past three weeks I was reading a vampire novel and at the same time reading a sci-fi novel.

Here's what happened, I get a train to work, it takes roughly twenty minutes from standing on the platform at home end to getting off the train at work end. I was offered The Martian to read, in paperback form. I am more likely to read a book if it's a paperback. Don't know why that is but I love turning the pages. I love scrambling around in my handbag when I first have to stop reading the book and need a book mark. The final pages of all my read paperback have an obscure bit of paper in them as a marker. I never remove them they stay there.

So, my journey, I dipped into Mark Watney's world every morning and every evening for twenty minutes each time. I'd be walking to the platform wondering what Mark has been up to while I was sleeping, mad isn't it? It's a piece of fiction where I refused to read it at home to string out the pleasure of reading the story.

I skip to the end of the book because it a brilliant book, that I enjoyed thoroughly but here is how desperate I wanted to know if he survived. It was a usual packed commute, I rarely get a seat but this day the two previous trains had been cancelled. We were pretty much nose to nose already and then more people shoved their way on. A woman was having a panic attack in the corner because she was on the opposite site of the train being squashed further into the glass of the train door. Two complete strangers calmed her down by telling her jokes to take her mind off the panic that had consumed her. Anyway I digress, the person squashes against me had a big furry hood, which was wet from the rain. Rain drops were getting on my book and blurring the words. So holding the book above my head I carried on reading because I had to know - desperate to know, because the author was leaving the ending to the very last page (hell roast him).

Another stop and another ten people pushed their way on and the woman in the corner had been flanked by these two strangers to the point where she was protected from being squashed any further. She was going to be fine for the last few minutes of travel. Raindrop girl was far enough away from my book, I had something to hang onto and I kept reading.

The train pulled into the final destination and I had one more page to go, outraged. I had to get off the train not knowing what happened to Mark Watney. I got off the train with an awful lot of other people shuffled along the platform and found a set of seats. Hurling my handbag and coat onto the spare seat I grabbed the book and continued to read. Not going to tell you the ending because that's bad form. My point is that I couldn't go to work without knowing the ending. Leaving the last page until the journey home was out of the question.

I miss checking in on Mark Watney and what he's doing, I loved the book so much. I want to see the film now to see how it looks on-screen. I've always been disappointed before. Well, I saw always there have been a few books, like The Silence of the Lambs which lived up to the book and there are a few others that escape my memory.

Roll on when the film comes to Sky Movies and I will be watching it, seeing Mark again and how he copes with Mars.

Do you have a memory of loving a book so much you rationed your reading of it?

Thanks for reading

Grace
