Rock Bottom 

by 

Josephine Traynor

Now Live

Blurb:

“Money. Fame. Success. I had it all. And now I have nothing. No band. No contract. I’m roughing it with the commoners, and I have no idea what the fuck I’m doing.” Reece Ashton is used to living the dizzying heights of being a celebrity, until his only other band member leaves just as they were about to embark on a world tour. Sold out shows, groupies, and living the high life are long forgotten as he has to learn to fend for himself while living in suburbia. Hiding out in the tiny town of Portmouthe, England is as about as far away from the spotlight as possible. He doesn’t want to be there, but he’s got nothing but time on his hands now that he’s been left high and dry by his band mate. No job, limited money and no life skills - he’s completely out of his element. No one in town knows he’s there except one girl who keeps his secret. Falling in love was never part of his comeback plan. Madelyn Arnett knows all too well what it’s like to be on the wrong end of the paparazzi. She’s quietly rebuilding her life in the sleepy town of Portmouthe away from the prying eyes of trash media when the most famous musician on earth ends up in her workplace. Worried that when the media comes hunting for him, they will find her and she’s worked too hard to let some spoiled little rock star take her life away from her. But this helpless rock star is in need of a friend. Turns out, she’s the only person on the planet to truly know the real Reece Ashton. Fighting to not fall in love, she knows their time is fleeting as the glare of the spotlight comes hunting for Reece.

Excerpt:

“Have you heard of the term ‘first world problems’? You have Google on your phone, Reece, best get acquainted with it. Man has been doing things for himself for a long time, I guess this is the way of natural selection, who can figure things out and who can’t—”
Running my hand through my hair, I grip the phone tighter. “You know I only use my phone to ring, text and
porn.”
“Good God, I’ll send someone around in a week, no doubt you will be dead from starvation or masturbatory dehydration.”
I hold the phone away from my ear and yell, “Laugh it up chuckles. You’ll see. I don’t need any fucking help.”
***
I need help.
I’ve walked for ten minutes, and all I’ve passed is more suburbia. I’m sure I’ve seen this same house three times. I’m ashamed to say that I’m pretty useless with my sense of direction. I can get lost just turning in a circle. The first five minutes of walking was hell. I started to sweat. My pants were clinging to my legs, and the rank stale odour of my body was blowing up wind.
The longest I’ve had to walk was from the door of the hotel to my waiting car on the street, or from the tarmac to the airport. I don’t include the hours across the stage a night. That was fun. This is as boring as bat shit. I don’t have headphones, I don’t have a car, and I don’t have a driver. I don’t have anything that I took for granted.
The houses are all blending in, and I don’t know which one’s mine. I’m waiting for David to text me the address, but I know he’s taking the piss. Bastard. Teasing me about first world problems. I know I sound like a whiny little bitch, but my life is in stark contrast to what it was forty-eight hours ago, and I’m struggling to adjust.

My Review: 

💋💋💋💋

"The part of me that was really

wanting this badly.

Just to meet her and even to say 'thank you' for

the last few weeks. They've been brighter and just better.

Because of her."

When I heard this was a debut novel I first thought oh god what if I don't enjoy it. What if I can't finish. I worried for nothing! I really did enjoy it and he'll I finished within a few hours.

Reece loses everything. His career, his money, his swanky home and most importantly his best friend. After moving to his managers small home in a quiet town Reece starts to realise how much he's taken for granted. Of course because he was a rock star he was a typical man whore, a woman he said he'd never fall in love. Until her.Madelyn hates the media, hence why she's hiding in a small town working in a supermarket. Trying to keep out of the spotlight and away from the shit her ex caused she keeps herself to herself. She never planned to let a man in. UntilReece.I LOVE these characters together. They're written so well and he chemistry and relationship between them is great. Reece isn't your typical alpha asshole well not once he meets madelyn anyway, you get to see so much more of him. He's soft, sweet side no one knew he had. The moments when the characters lets their guards down is when I loved them the most.The secondary characters are amazing too, although David is an asshole. I'm kinda hoping for Sean's story though. ;) ahaNow it may be a love story but it doesn't come easy for them, they have hurdles to jump and feelings to overcome. Will they get their happy ending? Will madelyn let her guard down for the beautiful lonely man she met? I'll let you find out.Josephine traynor has talent, there's no doubt about it. I can't wait to read more from her

Author Bio:

Josephine Traynor is very good at keeping secrets - she’s been a closeted writer for years but only got brave enough last year to show her writer friend a small chunk of what she’d written.

She’s a mother of two small boys and only told her husband about her book when it was completed. God knows what he thought she was doing on the computer for all those hours!

Josephine’s a lover of tea and has a thing for all things vanilla. She loves a good book that makes her laugh and has heaps of character growth. Her aim is to write books that inspire, cause sore stomach muscles and have memorable characters for all the right reasons.

Josephine Traynor is not her real name. The pen name is derived from Josephine being her favourite girls name and Traynor is inspired by Will Traynor from Me Before You by Jojo Moyes. His message from that book was for everyone to be brave in this world and to make their mark. This was a huge lesson for her to get over her fear of publishing. She’s doing this for her, her dream is to be a published author, what’s your dream and go after it.
