Conviction by Lesley Jones Book Summary
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.

Review by Emma Mistress of all Dark & Twisted
Conviction by Lesley Jones is one emotional and all consuming read that grabs your attention from the start and never lets you go on this journey of Rockstars, lost loves, pain and how some people you'll never forget no matter how much it hurts to remember them. Lesley is an author who can always make me laugh out loud, cry devastated tears and feel the need for many cold showers with each of her books and Conviction is no different.
This book follows Conner Reed world renowned Rock God and lead guitarist for the band Shift. This sexy, dirty blonde haired, 34 year old multi hued eyed male is closed off physically and emotionally but finds release in being one hell of a sexual deviant. If you want one night of wild abandon he's your man but you'll get no more than that, relationships and return hook ups aren't his thing. He wasn't always this way, he once opened his heart and soul to another and their love was written in the stars but his 'Meebs' let him down and never looked back. She broke his heart, so he has closed it off. Now 15 years later he has everything life can offer him except the one thing he's only ever wanted in life.
Nina 'Meebs' Matthews is the diminutive, faired haired angel who caught Conner's eye from childhood. She adored Conner, even though they were from opposite end of the social scale and believed they were destined for forever. Then when she needed him the most he let her down in the worst possible way. So 'Meebs' immersed herself in studying and becoming a successful hairdresser. Being a steady, reliable and dutiful daughter and allowing others to make her decisions means she can't get hurt again, doesn't it??
Now 15 years later after the night that left them both feeling angry, hurt, betrayed and unable to move on past the pain; one is immersing themselves in excess, rule breaking and debauchery whilst the other hides the pain by following the rules and living a mere existence. Once your heart has been broken it changes you irrevocably. When fate reconnects these two first loves again will they be able to move on from the truth of that night or will betrayals, heart ache, rockstar excess and personal vendettas be too much to endure to give each other another a second chance or will their Conviction in their love be enough to control their own destiny??
I think this is my favourite if Lesley's books so far. I'm still thinking about this books days later, just buy it, read it and be prepared to fall under the spell of Conner and his 'Meebs'.

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.
