There is no way for me not to love this story. The glimpses of Parker and Kait that we had in earlier stories, combined with the expectation of a happy ending after lots of hot and steamy moments and their realization that they are made for one another just combine like cocoa and marshmallows: a perfect escape.Parker is a child who survived horrible abuse, and was fortunate enough to find someone to love him, and show him that the world isn’t all horrible.  Kaitlin, on the other hand, is a healer: she can read auras and use her own skills to heal, calm, support and reassure others.Drawn to one another, like moths to a flame, these two are the perfect combination of the phrase, together we are better than either one of us alone.  Parker comes to learn that he is not the monster he feared, and with Kaitlin by his side he is near invincible. Steamy and sexy, the connection between Kaitlin and Parker is sure to energize your imagination as it will require a cool drink and a few moments of recovery time before moving on to the next.You can’t help but enjoy these characters; they could be friends and neighbors, and you will want to have friendships like these: supportive and protective, accepting and fun, the constant ebb and flow of characters that were the focus earlier in the series gives readers a ‘check in moment’, as well as sets a tone that is constant.The only blot in this story is the overly slimy, smarmy and offensive Richie: ascot wearing, often drunk, always misogynistic Richie.  It was wonderful to see Kaitlin allow her powers to work for the good of all woman-kind and pop his little overinflated ego balloon, and watch him retreat to the sniveling insecure boy that he is.  It was so unexpected and so contrary to her nature and her own personal decisions about her gift that the appearance of her standing up for herself, and by extension every other female in the vicinity was refreshing and helped to firm her own characterization in a way that was wholly welcomed.Tryst Island is a series that can be read individually, but why would you want to? Each story adds layers to characters met before as well as providing the spotlight emphasis for the characters who serve as the main delight in their own book. Come and meet the gang from Tryst: you will not regret it.I purchased a copy of the title for my own library with no expectation of positive review. I was not compensated for this review: all conclusions are my own responsibility.
