After hearing her boss claim he’d like
“a ride on the two-ton Trish train,” Trish has a choice to
make. Either she can bludgeon her boss to death with a
stapler or she can get even and get a new job. Going with
the option that keeps her out of jail, Trish’s grand exit
proves not to be the most convenient one when she has to
carry all her stuff home. When she spies Madame
Periwinkle’s Erotic Delights, Trish decides to pop into the
store and see if the proprietor will give her a box to carry
her stuff. Handing her a box, the curious Madame Periwinkle
promises that everything from her store comes with a little
something “extra.” Lucky for Trish, when she literally
bumps into Mark, her best friend from college, it’s not long
before she discovers exactly what Madame Periwinkle meant.
Celia Kyle adds extra heat to a lovely reunion romance in
the charming Toys for Trish. Trish and Mark
are two people fated to be together, but were kept apart
once by the machinations of others. Trish is sassy,
likeable, and human in her vulnerability. It’s a good thing
that Mark won’t let her reticence to be in a relationship
with him that has been brought about by Trish’s insecurities
stand in the way of his wooing her. Ms. Kyle always pens
lively characters, and the protagonists of Toys for
Trish are no exception, making this tale a delight
to read from beginning to end. |
