Mags O'Brien lives on the alcohol-soaked,
drug-enhanced concert circuit, managing out-of-control rocker Julian MacAvoy.
She helps him spread his musical gospel to his adoring followers, despite the
fast-spinning turnstile on his bedroom door, and the broken hearts he leaves in
his wake.
Mags believes she’s immune to Julian’s
magnetic personality but when controversy hits the tour, she finds herself in
danger of falling at his feet, slave to his appetites and her own desire and need.
Julian refuses to be tamed, but the
pressure of the ravenous crowds clamps tighter and tighter around him. His
chaotic world starts to crumble when he realizes his motivation to continue
touring comes from an unobtainable woman. Can he force her to make the
agonizing choice between himself and her estranged husband?
An erotic and candid look at life on the
road.
At
some point or another, most people have lusted after someone they know,
perhaps a co-worker, or even the boss; and Mags is no different. The
trials and stresses of being on tour, have stretched her marriage to
breaking point. Her husband has become more of an annoying friend than
lover, and her annoyingly charming boss is getting her hotter by the
day.
I loved Mags - all things considered, she is an incredibly normal woman in an unreal world fueled by booze, drugs, and overinflated ego's. She's struggling to keep herself sane, while pandering to the every need of her crew and her 'star' boss Jules.
Jules is a great leading man. He's cheeky and funny with just the right amount of sarcastic flair - although he does have a tendency to sulk, but he's sexy and alluring, and knows that Mags has the hots for him.
A great cast of characters to both love and hate, Private Love in a Public Place has been expertly written, drawing the reader in right from the start. The life of this on-tour band was both descriptive and entertaining, perhaps a little predictable in parts, but it was definitely shaken up with some really unexpected twists and turns - and lets not forget the hot sex! While there are some really tender and heartfelt moments of aww, there is a decent amount of hot blooded, I-want-you-right-now sex :)
Right out of left field, the author spun this story on its head and had me gasping with shock and excitement. I was not expecting that at all, a great turn of unexpected events :)
Toni Kenyon has written a really great story around a life we usually only hear about through trashy magazine articles using mysterious sources and telescopic photo lenses. But instead of just your typical hype, the author has brought to life the real story behind the scenes; she has made her celebrities human, fallible, and extremely likeable - warts and all.
A thoroughly entertaining and pleasurable 4 star read.

"He whispered pacifying words to me through my hair; they ran like warm treacle down the long strands, taking eventual residence in the small caves of my ears."
