Rebecca "Becca" Shore finally has her life back in order.
She's the estranged daughter of her socialite family whom
she felt she could never please, but now she is pursuing
her goal as a journalist. True she is only an assistant at
Moderne magazine, and nothing she suggests gets chosen as
this is little more than a rag, but it's an open doorway
to
what she really wants to do. She can not imagine that in a
short time she will come across one SEDUCTIVE MELODY that
could make her or could very well break her.
Ethan Kelly is the wild Kelly, an addict trying hard to
recover and get his life back in order. It is hard
especially after losing his best friend and bandmate to an
overdose. Now clean and trying hard to get back with his
family and his work, he finds a lifeline in Becca. She's
guiding him back from the darkness. Soon he finds himself
trusting her with more than his worries ... he opens up
his
heart.
The story of the drug addicted rock star might be too much
to pass up ... it could be the blast her career needs. But
can her heart take such a risk ....
SEDUCTIVE MELODY will grab you by the heart and holds on
until the fantastic last word. I have read all of the
Kelly
Brothers books by author Crista McHugh and each one
takes
us into a different aspect of life. This one is an in
depth
look at the trials and temptations of drugs. Ethan is a
musician and Rebecca comes from money but both succumbed
to
the use of drugs and both are working to recover
themselves. I admired both of them and the way it was
written I felt as if I were with them as they took each
step toward sobriety and each other. Becca, who had been
attending Narcotics Anonymous for a longer time and was
introduced to Ethan and asked to be his sponsor until he
became accustomed to the group and chose his own. I liked
how she pushed him and herself to take the steps needed to
get the rewards life has to offer. Fantastic story and the
snag of mistrust that they hit doesn't last but a few
pages
so there wasn't a long separation to suffer through ... a
personal dislike of mine but Ms. McHugh didn't make us or
them suffer too long. I loved A SEDUCTIVE MELODY and look
forward to
whatever else Ms. McHugh comes up with. It joins the other
books by her in my TRA shelf.
Ethan Kelly lost his best friend and bandmate to an
overdose, but staying clean is proving harder than he
thought it would be. His only safety net during his first
weeks of sobriety is fellow recovering addict, Becca. As
she
guides him through the darkness, he begins to trust her
not
only with his secrets, but also his heart.
After years of trying to be the daughter her socialite
parents wanted her to be (and failing miserably), Rebecca
Shore finally has her life on track. Sure, she's just an
assistant at Moderne magazine when she'd rather be
pursuing
more serious journalism, but it's a foot in the door.
She's
just waiting for the scoop of a lifetime that will take
her
to the next level. But when she's asked to help the
reclusive and enigmatic rock star, her heart is torn
between
the career she's always wanted and the man who bares his
soul to her.
