Denouement is about a screen writer and an actor who seem to have this undeniable hot and steamy chemistry between them, but can't seem to make it work. Marietta is a successful screen writer and praised for her work. Tobias/Toby is the typical Hollywood player, sleeping with anything he can get his hands on. When Marietta reluctantly casts him as a lead for her movie she tries to steer clear of him and Toby does what Toby does, chase skirts. When a scene isn't working Marietta has to step in and show the actors how a simple kiss should be done, only sparks fly for Toby and her. When they finally get together, Toby essentially messes it all up and they're brought together by a tragedy that really gets the story going.I liked how Kenyan wrote this story, it starts with a glimpse of their future then she shows us how they got there and we're back in the present. Kenyan's words just flow together, making it easier to get hooked. I'd give it 4/5 stars. I wanted more of a reason why these two absolutely needed each other. You know something in her past has kept her from getting close to people, but it seems to take too long for it to come to the surface for me. I liked that they didn't solve their problems with just having sex, too many stories do that. Toby and Marietta actually talked it out, not to say it wasn't steamy, it was. They seemed real and that's what made me like it.
