Braxton comes from an uber Christian community and her parents basically shunned her for having sex and now she thinks she's a sex addict (???) and then it comes out later that she was basically raped by a 30something band member that stopped in her little town when she was 16. Support staff in community schools and maintained nurseries have their pay and other terms and conditions determined by a negotiating body called the National Joint Council (NJC) for local government services.

In conclusion, because this review has also become too long, me and B.B. Reid will probably not meet again. This book is pink and purple sunsets, blue skies full of fluffy clouds. It’s kissing in the rain. It’s summer days. It’s nights on the front porch with sweet tea (I’m a southern girl). This book is butterflies taking flight! —It’s a field of Lilacs.Their chemistry, together or apart, is out of the charts, and I'm completely obsessed with the attraction between Loren and Jericho! The heroine isn't a virgin - in fact, she's experienced and enjoys sex! This is tied into a weird little side plot where she thinks she's a nymphomaniac, but whatever. I laughed, I cheered, and I cried reading this book. Our main character is a badass with a unique style who I identify with a lot. She’s strong and refuses to let others see any weakness in her so when the band decides to make her life hell she always manages to come out on top.

Lilac — B.B. Reid

Every so often, gods walk the earth. This time they came as musicians. When Bound loses its lead guitarist, yours truly is chosen to fill his shoes. From dive bars to the big stage, my instant claim to fame is nothing short of a fairytale. The only problem? Braxton still flounders and fumbles. she wears a smirk but it often slips and her vulnerabilities are stark and fierce. she would have the trio by their throats one minute, while being their little plaything the next. the dynamic between her and guys was forever changing— she didn’t always have the upper hand, and by doing so, the author explored her flaws, limits and imperfections. Jaded, gorgeous, and ridiculously talented—they’re determined to turn my dream into a nightmare. It’s no secret I wasn’t their first choice. I wasn’t even their last. The label wants a new image, Bound wants me gone, but I’ve got my own agenda. I really wasn't sure how I would react to the idea of RH since I'm very territorial and don't like the idea of sharing so it was very surprising to me that I wasn't as bothered by it as I thought I would be. Is it gonna be my new thing? Definitely not. Will I try another one in the future? Possibly.B.B. Reid was amazing at describing the scenes and tour life in a way that you actually feel like you are touring with the band. We get multiple points of views from our main characters and I loved seeing their growth throughout the year or so that this book takes place. is there anything better than reading a fully grown man, fuelled by trauma, alcoholism and daddy issues relentlessly bully a woman bcos she merely exists?? It seemed easy enough when I boarded their tour bus, but it only took one city for the lines we’d drawn to blur. Stars equals I am buying a physical copy of this book. I will read this book at least 10 more times, it is the best ever. JNCHES is a UK wide body and is made up of representatives from university employers and the higher education unions.
