The Music of Temptation

Review: The Music of Temptation - Verity Jacobs - March 2015

One of my favourite things to read about is a sub genre I like to call Geek Chic Lit , which is contemporary romance novels set within an Academic setting or the main characters are in a geeky job. In The Music of Temptation by Verity Jacobs, we meet Margot Duke who is living in Germany at the moment while she works on her PHD in Biology doing research on a daily basis in cells and stem research. For Margot, she has finally reached the point in her life where she believes she can no longer continue a long-distance romance with her boyfriend Eric who is in Spain. She breaks up with him on a Skype Interview , though nowadays I guess Facetime would be used instead of Skype. Wanting a night out and discovering that her favourite band is playing in town, she goes along to the concert - this band is her jam music when she is working in the lab. At the concert, she insults a guy whom she imagines is the roadie or a groupie but little does she realise that he is the lead singer of her favourite band. Jonathan is on tour with his band and can't help but be mesmerised by Margot , as he gets to know her and he actually has the intellect to keep up with her scientific conversations - the pair hook up and so begins a friendship which later turns into relationship mode - which of course makes readers agree that Margot has defied her own theory of never having a long distance romance ever again. However, can a LDR work out with a celebrity as Margot is thrown into the world of paparazzi, models and band groupies ?
Find out in this Geek Chic Lit book by Verity Jacobs "The Music of Temptation".

It's time for serial killer time to strike again with Sean Slater's new Detective Jacob Striker novel out titled with the same name as a popular children's game "Snakes and Ladders". Review: Snakes and Ladders - Detective Jacob Striker Book #2 - Sean Slater - March 2012 It's amazing how much a cover can get you to read a book and then you discover, well I actually like this author as I picked up Sean Slater's first book "The Survivor" due to the fact that the cover had a hockey mask and reminded me of Friday the 13th and I really enjoyed the novel as well as the fact it was a school shooting which for some reason I enjoy reading about as it fascinates me ( just to add - I'm not pyschotic LOL) . When I discovered Sean Slater had a new one coming out, I picked it up and was again fascinated and drawn in as he had chosen another angle and field that I am interested in probably due to the fact that my dad works in that industry of mental health...

A Love Letter From Emily White - Author

A Love Letter from Emily White to her Readers: It's a month for love and there's nothing I love more about the publishing life than meeting new readers. That's why, a few months ago, I made a pretty huge announcement. I doubt it had any far-reaching effects. And I seriously doubt many people even heard about it. But I want everyone to know: After doing ALL the things and checking off ALL the lists, I never really felt like I'd accomplished anything in my career. I'd grown up dreaming about signing a contract with a publishing company, and I did that. But after that was done, I dreamt about the next contract, and having my books read around the world, and maybe hitting a bestseller list. And I did all that. But still not so much happiness. I had moments of happiness. Of absolute joy, even. And it hit me last November that those moments came when I was meeting new readers or getting emails from them. They came in certain minutes of the day when a...
