Summer
Sky
Sky changed her life for a man once, and she has no intention of doing
it again - even if he is a six-foot, tattooed rock god who makes a mean bacon
sandwich.
Sky Davis
is fed up of boyfriend Grant taking her for granted, and when she comes home to
find him wearing a girl, Sky suspects the relationship is over. She takes an
unscheduled vacation and leaves the life (and guy) she hates behind.
Rock star Dylan Morgan is struggling with fame and infamy, sick of his
life being controlled by other people. Dylan cuts his hair and walks away from
his role as lead singer of Blue Phoenix, leaving behind chaos and speculation.
Outside the English seaside town of
Broadbeach, their cars and worlds collide.
Sky decides Dylan is an arrogant guy with too
many tattoos, and Dylan is amused by the smart-mouthed girl with no idea who he
is. Dylan and Sky soon discover they've travelled to Broadbeach for the same
reason - to escape from reality and head back to a place with happy childhood
memories. Losing themselves in a world where they know nothing about each
other, Sky and Dylan begin a holiday romance that soon heats up their rainy English
summer.
Falling
Sky
Sky’s world turned upside down when she met rock
star Dylan Morgan, and exploded when she discovered his hidden past.
Four months after Sky
learns Dylan’s devastating secret, she’s
trying to piece her life back together. Without an explanation from Dylan, Sky
has no choice but to try and forget him.
Dragged back into the
life he ran from, Dylan continues to spiral downwards as he copes with his fame
the only way he knows how. Shattered by the revelation Sky knows his darker
past, he forces himself to return to England and explain.
Sky and Dylan reconnect,
attempting to build on the shaky foundations of their summer. But the outside
world continues to conspire against them.
Taking place in the
epicentre of the Blue Phoenix world, Sky and Dylan’s
story continues amongst the chaos surrounding the band and its members.
PLAYLIST
1. A reader told me she though this song was perfect for Dylan and Sky and I’d
never even considered it until I listened. She was right!
For Dylan, being with Sky in the place from his past reminds him of a childhood
where life was easier. And of course the song mentions the bright Sky!
“When I look into
Sky’s eyes, I see myself reflected back. Something in them holds a lost part of
me I can only find by being with her.” Dylan in Summer Star
Sweet Child O’ Mine
– Guns n’ Roses

2. Dylan is
suffocated by his fame and he runs from the pressure of his life. Not only does
being away and anonymous allow him to breathe, but being with Sky breathes a
new life into him. But reality catches up and he’s forced back into his old
world.
“I wanted to live
in the illusion for longer. You let me breathe, Sky. You connected me to
something long gone, and now I’m lost again.” Dylan in Summer Sky
Give Me Room to
Breathe - You Me At Six
3. Sky doesn’t
know who Dylan is and each time she sees him in a band t-shirt, she asks him if
it’s his band. One of Dylan’s favourite bands is White Stripes and he wears a
tee in Summer Sky. The song is also perfect for Dylan’s state of mind and
situation when Sky discovers who he is.
“Do you know how
f*cking hard it is to be owned by everyone around you? What that does to a
person?” Dylan - Summer Sky
Seven Nation Army
– White Stripes

4. When Sky discovers who Dylan is, it takes her time
to accept she can be part of his world but she worries whether their
relationship can survive public scrutiny and how this will affect her. This
continues in Falling Sky as they attempt to navigate a lot of craziness thrown
at the by his and the band’s lifestyle.
"The one thing I can't let go of is the sneaking
fear our colliding worlds will explode, taking me with them." ~ Sky in
Summer Sky
Never Tear Us Apart - INXS
5. This beautiful
song suits their relationship too. There’s a scene towards the end of Falling
Sky when Dylan is alone in a hotel room and they need each other and the song
made me think of this.
With Dylan, love
becomes a different concept. Not hearts and flowers, or lust and need, but the
unexplained, frightening place two people go and are lost together ~ Sky in
