Review<\/strong><\/h4>\n

4.5 stars!!<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Tryst<\/i> is a fun, forbidden, addictive read that will not only have you fanning yourself but also laughing and falling in love.\u00a0 It follows Layla and Nick as they navigate the many bumps in the road from their one-night stand to so much more.\u00a0 It has a little bit of everything and I loved it!<\/p>\n

Layla and Nick are on fire. Their attraction is electric and their chemistry is off the charts. They share a smoking hot one-night stand but don\u2019t expect anything to come from it since he lives in London and she lives in New York. Yet, after exchanging texts and phone calls over the months, they figure they can see each other when Nick comes to New York for work and they can continue the fun. What they don\u2019t expect is to find out that Layla\u2019s good friend (and ex), David, is Nick\u2019s son. That definitely puts a damper on things.<\/p>\n

Layla and Nick figure they will just ignore their attraction for David\u2019s sake but when they are forced to work together, the time they spend together makes that very difficult. Not only do you have a father\/son relationship tested, you also have a friend relationship tested and it\u2019s not always easy to push away feelings.<\/p>\n

\u201cLet\u2019s be friends.\u201d
\nHe clasps my palm in a friendly\u00a0gesture. But I don\u2019t think friends shake this long, since he doesn\u2019t let go immediately. He curls his fingers around my palm, then runs the pad of his finger around my skin, tracing me, touching me. Like he did early that morning in Miami.
\nHe\u2019s a thief.
\nBut I\u2019m not going to turn him in as he stretches the definition of friendship and curls my toes with one risqu\u00e9 touch.<\/i>
\n<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I adore Layla and Nick. They just work. Even with the age gap, they get each other. They are both driven and smart and aren\u2019t just attracted to their appearances. They want to really know each other and I love that it\u2019s the little details they learn that make them fall even harder. The reservations they had, the temptation they faced, and ultimately the difficult decision they had to make felt real and made them relatable and endearing.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy heart hurts when I\u2019m with you but not <\/i>with you.\u201d <\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

There is no denying that these two want each other and the forbidden aspect of the story really cranks up the sexual tension. They have no problem lighting the pages on fire but they also share so many sweet, heartwarming moments that made them really click.<\/p>\n

The Tryst<\/i> is not just a romance. It deals with self-growth as Layla and Nick embrace who they are. Layla’s tragic past hovers over her head and I love that she realizes that she can break free and be who she wants without disappointing the people she loves most. And I loved seeing Nick being the best father he can be after everything that goes down. He is real and honest and wanted the best for his son, and he doesn’t stop fighting for him even when he himself messes up.<\/p>\n

Overall,\u00a0The Tryst<\/i> is another entertaining addition to The Virgin Society<\/i> series and I can\u2019t wait for more.<\/p>\n
