Behind a Locked Door: Cardinal Sins: Gluttony

by Brooklyn Bailey

Montana Randall stands at a fork in the road.

Contemplating college or career? A trip to Vegas to wind down after a grueling semester with her best friend. Regrouping and putting life into perspective. Some call it fate; others call it destiny, perhaps just a chance meeting, her life catapults in an entirely new direction.

Carson Cavanaugh, “the good boy rocker” lives his life emersed in concerts, fans, and paparazzi. The rock star with the untarnished image and the world at his fingertips, feels lost until he falls for the sexy woman with the cutest dimples and those piercing green eyes.

When Montana and Carson meet, it turns into a night they will never forget. Both now must live with the consequences of their actions. Can Carson maintain his unblemished reputation? Can Montana explain the circumstances to her family? Will Montana and Carson avoid their worst-case scenario, or will they come together and find their happily ever after?

When Lust meets fate the Cardinal Sins await.

About the author

Brooklyn Bailey’s writing is a life-long dream coming to fruition. Brooklyn’s under five-foot, fun-size stature houses a full-size attitude. Her uber-competitiveness in all things entertains, frustrates, and challenges family and friends.

Brooklyn’s guilty pleasures are Lifetime and Hallmark movies, especially Christmas movies. Her other loves include all things peanut butter, Star Wars, mathematics, and travel. Past day jobs vary tremendously from a radio station DJ, to an elementary special-education para-professional, to a YMCA sports director, to a retail store accounting department, and finally a high school mathematics teacher.

Brooklyn resides with her husband and fur-baby in the Des Moines area. This Missouri-born girl enjoys the diversity the Midwest offers.

Peyton and Montana are taking a girls' trip to Las Vegas and the first thing they do is try to find people from all 50 states and take a picture with them. Carson and his band are visiting Las Vegas and he needs a break from the guys and crashes in his room with the intention of writing some lyrics. He's had writer's block for at least a year and they're scheduled to record their next album in seven days. Before he can get to his room, he runs into someone sitting on the floor outside her room. Montana has locked herself out and it's her lucky night! Carson and Montana begin to talk and their banter, humor and love for "thinking games" kept me laughing. Carson and Montana were both strong, believable characters and the supporting characters were quite "interesting." I appreciated the fact that with the exception of a slight situation with Eli, there really was no angst. Delightful story!

A love at first sight, spontaneous wedding, rock band storyline. If not for the language and the fact it's explicit in some scenes I would've given 5 stars. Should be rated mature IMO. Definitely not a "tame" rated.
