Despite the fact that I love to read, and have my favorites, there are few authors that I rush to purchase just knowing that I will enjoy what is in the pages.  The Tryst Island series by Sabrina York is on my ‘you must have this when it is released’ list:  romance, a beautiful setting, friends who are there for one another through everything, and always a smoking hot connection.Starting with Devlin being “pantsed” behind Darby’s, the one night-spot on the island, this rollercoaster ride full of push and pull between Devlin and Tara was filled with giggles, sighs and wanting to shake the two senseless.Tara is a friend of the “Dawgs” that share the house on Tryst Island. Always feeling like an outsider, her early years as an army brat with 19 different moves before finishing high school, nothing has ‘stuck’ for her BUT her bakery: now suffering after a less-than favorable review from one Devlin Fox.Devlin is a player, and has never felt the need to be committed: until Tara invaded his senses, and enchanted him.  He’s also struggling with his twin brother’s physical limitations after an IED lost him the use of his legs in Afghanistan.  Seeing Charlie as “needing” his help, yet unable to see that despite the accident Charlie is making a life for himself, Devlin is conflicted.These two are precious and oh so well matched: from their own conflicted feelings about relationships and commitment, to the undeniable attraction and banter that flies like a ping pong ball in an Olympic match, the only thing missing in this pairing is the neon sign and buggy eyes full of hearts when they gaze at one another.Yet this is much more than a sexy pairing: there is a story here that will warm your heart as it shows the careful deconstruction of their walls. Letting another person in, giving voice to those deep fears hidden within and concealed with nonchalance and avoidance is scary.  But, a jar of peanut butter goes a long way: and you will never pass that section of the grocery store without a smirk.I purchased a copy of the title for my own personal library: I was not compensated for this review; all conclusions are my own responsibility.
