Driftwood Deeds, by Laila Blake, was sent to me for an honest review.  I thank the author for providing me with a most memorable and pleasurable task.  Ms. Blake’s writing is mesmerizing and so very sensual.  She is a master at setting a scene and the mood.The story’s premise:  a reporter arriving for an interview with a reclusive writer at his home in a sleepy seaside town.  Upon meeting, the protagonists are drawn to one another and the story actually depicts the blossoming of their relationship.  The author described their conversation and actions so vividly that the reader felt she was right there with them.  The dialog between the protagonists was amazingly intelligent and open.  There was emotional depth to their characters.The novella was intense, emotional, and beautifully written.  I loved it from cover to cover.
