He’s someone she can’t trust…
She’s someone he thinks he knows…
Violet Wilson is a wallflower. Shy, serious, and accident-prone, she’s got a bad habit of being in the wrong place at the wrong time. The night she’s forced to pose with her friend might just be the worst time of all—that’s when she meets Jet Blevins. She knows better than to get involved with someone like him, but he touches her in ways she never expected, never wanted before.
On the outside, Jet is a typical rocker, an arrogant lead guitarist who unapologetically lives a wild lifestyle. But on the inside, he’s battling demons and using the stage to escape the troubles of his past and the addictions of his present. Until the night he sees Violet standing at the back of the room. She brings his life into focus. She knows his secrets. She’s the girl he can’t forget, and the one thing he craves more than his addiction.
But can they ever hope to have a future when their very foundation is nothing but lies?
**************
REVIEW: THERE’S WILD, THEN THERE’S YOU is the third full length instalment in M.Leighton’s adult, contemporary, The Wild Ones romance series. The storyline focuses on social worker Violet Wilson and musician Jet Blevins. Told from alternating first person POV (Jet and Violet) the story weaves a tale of lies, betrayal, addiction and heartbreak. Although this is the third storyline in the series it can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty or confusion.
The premise follows the building relationship between Violet and Jet- a relationship built upon lies, dishonesty, and deceit. Violet ‘s personality is that of a nurturer, a co-dependent, and also that of an enabler and, Jet is the perfect foil for her affections. As a social worker, Vi is always looking for that broken bird and Jet appears to be more broken than most.
Jet is a man on a mission-a struggling musician who will meet Violet at the most inopportune time and Violet will become the object of both his affections and his end game. When the truth is finally revealed Violet’s heart will break and there may be no forgiveness for man whose past is dark and his future even darker.
The relationship between Violet and Jet is slow to build-from strangers, to friends, to lovers our leading couple will discover one another’s emotional triggers but in doing so with uncover lies, deceit and betrayal. Violet will overhear a conversation between Jet and his band mates that will leave our heroine heartbroken and her self esteem destroyed.
The secondary characters include Vi’s father, and her best friend Tia who struggle with their own addictions. Jake and Laney from Some Like It Wild –book two-make an appearance giving the story a familiar edge.
M. Leighton has written an emotional storyline of anguish, grief and sorrow. THERE’S WILD, THEN THERE’S YOU is a story about a relationship built upon lies and in the end will come tumbling down when the foundation is nothing but dishonesty, omission and deception. Our couple with get their happily ever after but it will be a struggle with issues of trust always on their minds.
