Gabriel, known to everyone except for Sophie as “Scottie”, doesn’t know quite what to make of her. Sophie is a sunshiney one to his grumpy one (and don’t I love this trope!) and over the course of the flight she teases and cajoles and baits him into conversation and connection. Gabriel usually books two seats on the plane because he’s a grumpy, closed-off kind of guy who doesn’t like to fly (or show any weakness) so he’s unhappy his “spare” seat is taken. It was fantastic so I know how she feels here.) (I travelled in business class some years ago on an international flight. She’s on a big adventure and she’s excited. If she’s successful, she will travel with her new employer within Europe as well.

Much to her surprise, she lands in first class on the flight from New York to London, where the interview will be held.

She doesn’t have much by way of detail because of the celebrity of her potential employer (no prizes for guessing who it is of course). Sophie Darling is heading to a job interview as a social media advisor and photographer. This shattered the band and the series starts are they are trying to put themselves back together. Kill John used to be into sex, drugs and rock n’ roll, particularly the drugs part and some time ago, Jax, attempted suicide. Managed (as the title suggests) features the band’s manager, Gabriel Scott. Killian and Libby’s story is told in Idol. Kill John are a massively popular rock band with four members – Killian, Jax, Whip and Rye. Managed can be read as a stand alone but I think it works better with the context of Idol, the first book in the VIP series. I’ve had recent experience with Charlotte North in particular and she is my new favourite. I was delighted to see Managed come up on my Coming Soon search and the bonus was the narration team of Rupert Channing and Charlotte North. Narrated by Rupert Channing & Charlotte North
