Simple Tryst of Fate
The Tryst Series Book 1
by D.M. Barr
Genre: Contemporary Dark Romance
A
desire for a more conventional life once propelled travel writer Dani
Barrett into a disastrous marriage. Ten years later and newly
divorced, she’s back on the road with a series of rules to protect
her heart and a secret sideline as an erotica author.
On
a press trip, she meets James Aldridge, a charming yet cynical
publisher who arouses her interest. Little does Dani know James is
secretly an investigative journalist with his own kinky streak, and
that rather than writing a travelogue, his undercover probe into
political corruption will suck her into a treacherous journey across
South America that could either end at James's gravesite or in his
loving arms.
Review: Dani Barrett was the divorced
travel writing. She was also known as Fuller Cox, erotica author—the alter ego
allowed to explore her sexual fantasies. Still, she lived by the hard-fast
rule: never fool around with the other reporters. Then the British prick comes
along.
For James, the rule was: never date a divorced woman. But, hey, rules were meant to be broken, right?
Story had a nice narrative, but it was slow at times. There were some witty quips and some fun flirting. Overall, this was a fairly nice read with an interesting premise.
Rating: 3 stars
By
day, a mild-mannered salesperson, wife, mother, rescuer of senior
shelter dogs, competitive trivia player and author groupie, happily
living just north of New York City. By night, an author of sex,
suspense and satire.
My
background includes stints in travel marketing, travel journalism,
meeting planning, public relations and real estate. I was, for a long
and happy time, an award-winning magazine writer and editor. Then
kids happened. And I needed to actually make money. Now they're off
doing whatever it is they do (of which I have no idea since they
won't friend me on Facebook) and I can spend my spare time weaving
tales of debauchery and whatever else tickles my fancy.
The
main thing to remember about my work is that I am NOT one of my
characters. For example, as a real estate broker, I've never played
Bondage Bingo in one of my empty listings or offed anyone at my local
diet clinic.
But
that's not to say I haven't wanted to...
I enjoyed the video and Simple Tryst of Fate sounds like a a great book filled with romance and suspense that I will enjoy! Thanks for sharing it with me and have a magical holiday season!
