Intermezzo
A disappointed ballerina, a brooding composer, and a few days in Paris that may change their lives forever…
Is it the sparkle of lamplight on a rain-drenched Parisian street? The thrill of a clandestine clinch in a foreign hotel? Maybe it’s the universal urge to go back and relive that one crucial moment–to try again, knowing what you didn’t know back then.
Whatever it is, it’s ridiculously hot. Just like it was that first time, so many years ago. Only this time, Lily and Aidan aren’t sure they’re willing to walk away from each other when the night is over.

It’s good to read some enjoyable Delphine Dryden again! I’ve read a decent handful of Delphine Dryden over the years but was stymied by the first book in the Steam and Seduction series. For some reason being unable to get through that book gave me a bit of a mental block…but no longer!
While I still have a bunch of Delphine Dryden to catch up on, I ran into Intermezzo while surfing through the Kindle Unlimited offerings and borrowed it right away. Intermezzo is a sweet tale of reunited lovers and I adored it. Intermezzo ends happily for now (HFN) but it fit perfectly with the story.
Lily and Aidan met and had a one night stand years ago – before embarking on their respective careers. When they meet up again after life has taken its toll, they discover the spark they once had never truly died. I love the way the Lily and Aidan interacted with each other. As this is a very short story, there’s nothing else really I can say without spoiling.

Not being familiar with this author, I read this short story as an intro to the author’s writing style. Described as an erotic short story, I had expected as much, but it turned out to be a very sweet second chance romance and tastefully erotic. Mostly, I found it to be a romantic second chance love story with two likable characters and a well written short story.

Different and sexy little story, with a little insight into professional ballet shows. Really liked both the hero and heroine, and second chance romances are always great. Would have appreciated an epilogue as the ending was a little abrupt.

January 8, 2015My other favorite read in my recent Delphine Dryden binge. I loved the sweetness and the easiness (and also the ballet!) in this one, though there wasn't enough space to really develop the relationship, unfortunately.

Terrific chemistry in this novella--it's a free read with kindle for Amazon Prime. It was paced perfectly, and while I wanted it to be longer, I thought Dryden did excellent work with the limited length.

Too brief......like bite sized champange truffles that make you crave for choco-lava cake.
