*Edit 2020
All parts of the Tryst serial have been edited with tons of new content, including an extended ending, and combined into one full length novel. Tall, Dark & Mysterious is available now.
Dark and mysterious, Jaxon Reed is Lyla Scott’s living breathing sexual fantasy.
There’s one problem, though. She's with Kyle, the love of her life. She shouldn't feel this way about anyone else, right?
But when disaster strikes with Kyle, she can't help but wonder about Jax.
Lyla doesn't usually do this, but could a steamy tryst be the answer to her heartbreak?

This was a very short read and that's the only way in which I can fault it. I loved every second of this book and it had me sucked in from the very first sentence. It was so easy for me to read and get into it and I loved the story and where the author was heading with it.
It was beautifully written, so well-structured and I can see everything that happened so vividly and with such clarity that I wanted to cry when this mini movie in my head was over.
At first, I really kinda liked Kyle, even though I was secretly vouching for Jaxon but as soon as I heard about the Road Trip around Europe I had a very bad vibe in regards to him that I wasn't wrong about. Kyle is an A-class douchebag. I was happy to see him go and even happier when Jaxon moved in!
Even though this book is very fast-paced cause of how short it is - the author still manages to keep it real, great and not rushed. Jaxon and Lyla's one night together was so...
... and again I was so gutted to see it end. I feel like the author wasn't trying to make excuses for each character, with some deep issues that affected them so dearly, and that was refreshing to read. I liked how Jaxon wasn't just good for hot sex either (which, by the way, he has down to a tee) but he was more of a really good and stable friend for Lyla before he was anything more. Even though she was already secretly fantasizing about him (can't say I blame her for that either). I also enjoyed how Lyla wasn't one of those heroines that I found annoying or irritating to read - again, it was very refreshing.
His lips moved across my jaw, and I ran my hands through his hair, griping and tugging at the dark locks. Warmth spread through me as his tongue swiped sensually behind my ear. I shivered at the onslaught of goose bumps popping up on my skin.
"Kiss Me" he growled, and I complied, turning my mouth to his.
I can't for the next instalment of The Tryst series and hopefully I won't have to wait long - it should be released by May 20th. Oh and one more thing before I forget - this book ends on a MAJOR CLIFFHANGER! Enjoy! I'm sure you will. :D

Short but sweet. I really liked this book. At the very beginning I thought that Lyla will be the one to break up or to cheat but it was nice reading different plot then most of the new adults book have. Like I said it was short but amazing and it got me all excited and now I can't wait till May 20th. I'll have full review updated later today. Also I'll definitely would love to have the second book to read and to review when it's finished. ;)

Fast paced and enthralling, I loved this first installment in the Tryst serial.
Lyla has her happy ever after mapped out, her next step just around the corner to moving in with her boyfriend, Kyle. She has it all planned, or so she thought until Jaxon, her class mate, ignites an attraction that puts doubt in her mind. She keeps her end goal in mind, however, and vows to concentrate on Kyle and the life she thinks they will have together once semester ends. When Kyle throws it all away, Lyla looks to Jaxon to take away all that pain for one night.
I had an easy time of getting into these characters, delving into their emotions and seeing the world through their eyes. I could feel the desperation in Lyla, wanting the perfect picket fence life so much that she was ignoring the fact that Kyle might not be "the one". I could feel her attraction to Jaxon, and the conflict she felt around that. When Kyle shows himself to be the douchebag I knew he was, I felt her devastation and hurt. When she lets go with Jaxon, I felt the amazing chemistry they had together. I easily connected to Jaxon and the past that haunts him. I felt the intensity in his thoughts and emotions. You could tell, for him, Lyla meant more than just a one night stand.
There was a distinct contrast between Kyle and Jaxon, and Jaxon and Lyla were so hot together. Their love scenes were well written, steamy and passionate, showing us there is definitely more in store for this couple. I enjoyed the supporting characters, particularly Lyla's room mate Dee. She was the perfect friend for Lyla and I thought she added much to Lyla's story.
As this is a serial, there is a cliffhanger, that was perfectly timed in my opinion and I am eagerly looking forward to the next instalment. The author certainly packed a lot into this little novella, setting the scene for more depth to the characters stories and further development of the story.

A short but good read. I'm just glad Lyla finally got some fulfilling sex in the end. (You'll understand when you read it) It's got a cliff hanger, but you can guess that from the number of pages.

This Novella is the start of the Tryst series. Lyla Scott is just finishing College and doing one of her last assignment presentations with Jaxon Reed. Even though she has a boyfriend that will soon be her fiancé, she can't stop thoughts of what being with Jaxon would be like. Presentation done, and school finished, her thoughts are now on packing up her College dorm she has shared for the past four years with Dee and getting ready to move in with Kyle and starting her new future.
When Lyla and Dee decide to go to O'Malleys to have a drink before packing up, Dee introduces Lyla to her new boyfriend Cole who is also waiting for his friend to meet up with them. Said friend is no other than Jaxon. Lyla can't believe her eyes. When Kyle arrives he asks to talk to Lyla and they move away to a corner where Kyle informs her that he no longer wants to go through with their plans and he is going to Europe with his buddies.
Devastated, Lyla runs out of O'Malley's and Jaxon follows.
After a one night stand, Jaxon has left and he has given Cole the keys to his apartment that is fully paid for one month, a month he is giving to Lyla until she can find a new start to her life.
This is going to be an exciting series and I look forward to reading the first full book in the Tryst series, and Lyla's unfolding story. Thanks to Netgalley and Mark My Words Book Publicity for the opportunity to read and review this book.

Nice, sexy, and too short for its own good. Addicted to serial novellas as I am, I felt compelled to try this story, which turned out to be quite entertaining. It's well written, full of beginnings and promises, and mysterious enough to make me want to read on.
Lyla is about to start her new life after college, moving in with her boyfriend. Fate, though, hands her a bitter disappointment. Luckily, even if for a little while, she crosses paths with an experience that marks her forever.
I felt intrigued by Jaxon from moment one. He's the silent type, but he says the right thing at the right time. What's more, he treats Lyla as she deserves, proving he knows her better than her underwhelming boyfriend.
I liked him very much. Though I thought that Lyla didn't act too shattered by the events that led her to Jaxon's arms, I absolutely relished their hot times together.
So that open-ended cliffhanger and a beautiful gesture from Jaxon are my cues to crave more of this little romantic tryst.

**DEBBIE'S 3.5 STAR REVIEW**
I cannot believe this book just ended like that!!!! I am sitting here ready to slam my kindle against the wall because there are so many things I need to know and I am at the end!!!!!
“I just wanted you to believe in yourself for once.” “ I believe in myself,” I grumbled. “You don’t. But you should.”
This book hooked me from the get go and I finished this book in one sitting. The writing draws you in and I honestly could not put it down. I only wish that the book was longer. If felt like a novella to me and that is why I am only giving it 3.5 stars.
I loved all the characters in this book and could really connect with them. I felt bad for Lyla and Jaxon Reed was pure sex on a stick. All the secondary characters added the perfect layer to make this story line very believable. My only gripe with this book is it was way to short but very well written. I look forward to reading the next one because I need to know what is going to happen. Will Lyla get her HEA or is she in for more heartache.

Lyla's life is seemingly perfect. She has strategically mapped out every single detail of her future, with one exception, Jaxon. Lyla's final project partner is sexy, mysterious, and just happens to be the one person she has avoided all semester long.
When Lyla's plans change unexpectedly, and Jaxon's in the right place at the right time, Lyla finds herself wanting a night that she's only experienced in her dreams.
Jaxon is delectably confident and Lyla is sweet and slightly naive, but their chemistry is undeniably steamy. Just when you think you've figured out their story, Lyla and the mysterious Jaxon will leaving you needing and wanting more!
I am a sucker for an erotic series read, and even though this one is shorter than most, it's extremely well written. I cannot wait to see where Jaxon and Lyla's story is headed.

Then by Marie York is the first novella in the Tryst Series. This novella was a very quick read and definitely left you wanting more. I can’t wait to read the following novella to find out what happens next.
Then is about Jaxon Reed and Lyla Scott. The attraction grows between the two of them during a mutual college course where they are paired up as partners throughout the duration. However, Lyla is in a relationship with Kyle. When things between Kyle and Lyla fall apart, Jax is there to help Lyla forget with a night to remember.
If you are looking for a quick, erotic romance novella series, this is definitely for you. The heat is off the charts between Jax and Lyla. I see good things happening in the future for these two steamy characters.

Holy Cannoli! This was defiantly a steamy introduction to this series.
Lyla Scott is living the life she thinks is best for her; the one she's planned methodically. Her boyfriend, Kyle, is whom she's placed all her hopes on but another has taken up her secret desires. That person is Jaxon Reed. Jaxon is tall, dark and incredibly sexy.
This first book in the Tryst series is sexy as hell. Jaxon can take your breath away with just a few words. Lyla's world is turned upside down in a matter of seconds and the one person that can help her forget about it for a little while is Jaxon. I wouldn't mind spending some time with Jaxon!
One night, that's all it was. That's all it's supposed to be. Lyla wonders if maybe there could be something. However, when she goes looking for him, he's gone. Now what? Will he come back? Will they meet again? What's her plan now?
I so can't wait for Now!! This is going to be an amazing series.

This is the first book in the Tryst series and it is a promising start to the series. It is a very quick read, but I knew that going in so it wasn't a problem. It is very well written and I really enjoyed our first glimpse at these characters. I am interested in seeing where the story is going and I'm looking forward to reading the next book in the series 'Now'.
College student Lyla is in love with her boyfriend Kyle, but is also hugely attracted to fellow student Jaxon. When things don't go according to plan she is feeling down. Could a steamy tryst with Jax help her feel better? I really liked Lyla, she seems to be a normal young woman who is fun to be around. Jax is hot and I can't wait to find out more about him. This is a good start to a series and I give Then four stars.

I received a copy thank to the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
I read this book KNOWING it was a serial novella, so take that into account. As a short book, I'd rather reading it knowing it's good and erotic without having spoilers smashed into my face, so I won't talk about the story itself.
We didn't get to know enough about the characters, but what we get to know is interesting and flowing. Many novellas don't have a climax or conflict but this one did, and it ends on a cliffhanger but that's expected as it's a novella series, it left me really interested in what's coming (I can't wait for May 20th!!).
It will left you wanting more.
PRO:
-It's erotic
-I really liked Jax
-I didn't want this to end
-There isn't a love triangle
CON:
-Name Jax/Jaxon
-It felt really short

5 stars for part one in this erotic serial. Lyla Scott has planned out her life down to the number of children and the style of house she wants in the suburbs with her long term boyfriend Kyle. Lyla has been happily cruising along in her normal yet slightly boring routine all through college and now the night before she is to move out of the dorms her entire life takes a dramatic turn.
Jaxon Reed has watched and admired Lyla all through their art history class this semester and while they have teamed up on presentations together the chemistry they shared went no further until the night before they have to leave school. Obviously with this being a serial you are left guessing as to who and what will happen next. I will definitely be on the look out for part two due out May 20.

Then (Tryst #1) was a very short quick little read. Fast paced and thrilling it hooks you on the first page and keeps you flipping the pages so fast. That once you are done reading you wished the next one was out. I really enjoyed reading this one it was different compared to other NA books that I have read before.

Lyla has a plan...but those never go quite how we want do they? Especially since Jax has her feeling more than she should. Her desire for him is overwhelming especially considering that she has Kyle and the plan for their life together. Unfortunately, things change as they so often do and Jax shows her exactly how good he is at making pain go away and making pleasure consume her BUT only for that night because the next day, he's gone. I'm definitely interested in seeing where Mrs York goes with the next installment. The characters are sexy and real, the sex is exquisitely written and HOTTTTT and I love it. If you haven't read it, please do.

Lyla just finished school. Working on her final project with the one man she can't even look at because it's like staring into the sun. Jaxon Reed oozes sex but Lyla has a boyfriend.
Celebrating their last night of college, Lyla and her roommate Dee go out with Dee's new boyfriend.
Then the bottom drops out of Lyla's world.
This was so hot and steamy! I definitely want to know what happened to Jax and what Lyla decides to do next.

This is part of a serial. Lyla is in her last few weeks of college. She has her everything planned out for the rest of her life, including her husband, where she is going to live, and how many children they will have. She WILL ignore how hot her project partner is or how he flirts with her. But in one night she all her dreams come crashing down and Jaxon is there to smooth the waves for her. What will happen next?

This is a short and steamy read that leaves you with a cliffhanger. Lyla is sweet and a planner. Jaxon is hot, smart, and serious. We meet them both at their college just before move out day. There is a lack of growth but that's to be expected since it is a shorter serial piece. They share a night of passion and you're left wanting to know what happens when the cliffhanger appears.

No! I was just getting into this story and it is over already? I am not sure I can "patiently" wait for the next one in the series. We meet Lyla who has her future planned out however, plans change. Jax is there for her when she needs someone but what happens when she wants more? I can't wait for book 2!

Although this was a quick read it was a nice introduction to the characters that I hope to learn more about. Lyla was the perfect Miss little organized and than on day her boyfriend threw a wrench into what she thought and her world was upside down. Jaxon was the guy in the back that you want to know more about and I can't wait until the next book to see how everything plays out.

This was a very short read, but what we have is a book with a slighty different plot to the other NA books that are out there. You will be guessing all the way along reading this book.
I found it to be a a well written read and the plot was easily followed.
If you are looking for a quick read, then this is the book for you.

I just love reading Marie's books. Not only does she leave you with a sense of mystery, but she makes sure you love the characters. This book leaves you wanting to know what is going to happen. This is the beginning of a great series!!!

Marie York's "Then" is the first short story in the Tryst series. It's a steamy read. It has all the elements that I love - mystery, chemistry, and chivalry! I can't wait to see what happens next! The pages of this one flew by too quickly! Need more of Jax ASAP!

Steamy and sultry and fabulous!
I cannot wait to see more from Marie!
