Review of Conviction by Lesley Jones

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.





Conner and Nina meet because their friends are brother and sister.  Conner is from the wrong side of the tracks and Nina's parents have everything all planned out for her.  It is not until Conner and Nina are older they realize they are meant to be.  However, after having a relationship finally, events occur that keep the couple apart for 15 years.

Conner becomes part of a famous band.  Nina doesn't exactly make her parents happy with her career  choices and is in a loveless marriage, thanks to her brother.  Nina tries to make the marriage work but again, events occur.  Neither Conner nor Nina forget about the other, even after 15 years.  

Trying to get over their loss, Conner tries not to feel intimacy and wants control when it comes to sex.  Nina longs for the intimacy in her marriage, but married an idiot.  I had my own idea about what he was really doing.  

The first half of the book was steamy!  However, it takes awhile for Conner and Nina to get together which was good, but when they do get together, the fireworks were not there.  I expected more from their reunion.  After getting together, the story began to taper off.  This wasn't a bad book, I just would have liked the stay steaminess at the end as I had in the beginning.

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.
