About the author
Tiye Love
40 books199 followers I want my readers to escape their realities and embark on a journey of self-exploration and love when they delve into my books. I have loved reading fiction, thrillers, and romance for years. Although my original (and still) writing interest was YA and self-help books, I received a surprise text one Valentine's Day, and wrote the very first chapter of a romance novel that day. And I became forever inspired to write contemporary and new adult romance - with a twist.

NOLA LOVE
This was such a great read! Even better in NOLA. The love of music is so present in this story and that makes it that much more interesting. The twist and turns kept me on an emotional roller coaster. This was my first read by thos author but will not be my last. Great job!!🎉🎊🤸🏾♀️🤸🏾♀️🤸🏾♀️🍾🥂💯

The books that I have read so far from author Tiye Love have been excellent.
Tristan Locke Grammy award winning Jazz Artist is living the high life, money, fame, plenty of women all while living in New Orleans in the French Quarter with zero plans of ever settling down. Then one night after a set after promising to see one of his bed buddies later, a woman walks in and in a blur of green makes his heart race. That night is a masquerade party so no one can see each other faces but he had to find her, so racing through the crowd he comes up to her mask to mask and didn't want her to get away.
Phoenix Avery attending Xavier University is a paid intern at the Jazz Club. But on a whim goes to the very club with her flowing green dress and mask on to absorb the ambiance that is New Orleans, she is approached by a man whom she can't seem to want to let go of. They talk and even kiss with promises to meet up after he finishes playing his set with his band. But just like the old Cinderella story at the stroke of midnight, his beauty was no where to be found. Both believing that it was just a dream they had no idea that their perceived dream was about to become a reality.
This was an amazing story with a twist the chemistry between Tristan and Phoenix was great. It is a lesson of not judging a book by it's cover and the power of forgiveness and healing.
This has been another stellar read by this author and I know I am not done reading her books. In fact I have another book by her that I am getting ready to start reading LOL!
Well Until My Next Review...Ciao!

From a bet to unexpected blessings
Tristan is the proverbial play boy. Phoenix is the no nonsense girl. Although they are different, yet they are similar. The Masquerade Seduction allowed to scorn individuals to meet and interact in a way that neither expected. Step into the doors of Jazz Seduction to get a front row seat of Tristan and Phoenix. Thank you for allowing a cameo or two of some of our old friends.

I am in love
Tristan told you the truth and dared you to believe him the first time. And yet, His Phoenix proved him wrong on every level. Phoenix was the young lady who blossomed into a beautiful woman under his tutelage. I could not believe how dramatically enticing the story was and the full onslaught of emotions their love story evoked. Tristan started the story as a man on a mission to be with all the women he desired without a commitment. I laughed out loud when his plan went array. You will love this story as much I enjoyed every page turned.

Okay Tiye Gurl! So, the hunter becomes the prey! Tristan was a complicated soul! Incredibly talented, and musical, very self-absorbed and a straight hoe! Damn! He was getting it in, all over the place! Sweet Phoenix was just trying to get it out of the mud, and make her way through school. When this insanely handsome man, she has known for months all of a sudden comes on to her. She is smart and knows whatsup, but he is very persuasive. Tristan, had no idea that the game would ultimately be on him! When he put his judgement aside for Phoenix, he discovered a woman that touched him in ways he had never experienced. I loved seeing their friendship blossom, and it was truly genuine. I just wished that Tristan would have called it off, and been truthful about his involvement with that person! That was a mic drop moment when Phoenix revealed her relationship with Scarlet to Tristan! Like for real? You did not have to do me like this! 😂 I gasped so hard, I almost choked! You play too much! So, glad it was a false alarm! Loved this read! Can't wait to read Summer's story! 👍👍👍

Great Read!!!
Tristan is a womanizer and more in the truest sense of the word. Phoenix is an innocent when it comes to men and relationships. They are truly polar opposites but that doesn't stop an attraction from forming once he is made to take a look at her. Their back and forth relationship was a delight to read about and their love scenes were blazing hot. This book kept me on the edge of my seat because of the twists and turns that take place in it especially with that evil step-mother. Club Jazz Seduction was a good location for this New Orleans-based book. Tiye Love has written a very passionate and thrilling New Adult book that I highly recommend.

Locked up in NOLA!
Tristan Locke was one of the most layered, infuriating, electrifying, and intriguing characters that I have been introduced to by Tiye Love! When I first heard his name, I wondered if there was a connection to a certain group of sisters. Then when I read the title again, it all clicked! And while it was hard for me to root for such a garden tool male lead...once again Tiye made me a believer! The twists just kept coming in this one, and behind it all there was the beautiful Phoenix rising! Mardi Gras at it's best, with a jazz and NOLA backdrop!

And from the ashes their love has risen like a Phoenix
This story gave me a “A Cinderella Story”-‘She’s All That” mash up with a sexy vibe feel. Tristan and Phoenix were what each other needed at the right time in there lives. Tiye Love definitely delivered with this story. I hope see da Brass Rebels in the future because I know there are stories there to tell. It was great seeing Baby Bear & Q especially knowing that their cameo means we’re this much 🤏🏾 closer to Summer’s story. Job well done Ms. Love.

Tristan had me going for a minute, he had me disliking him before I really got to know him, but Ms. Love cleaned it up in her usually brilliant style 🙂.
Phoenix had me on her side from the jump and I loved her to the very last page 😊. Them together was an intimate look into relationships, I felt like a voyeur into their relationship.
The flow of their story was so smooth and easy going, it is a page turner that was worth all of my time, I think you will enjoy as well.

Good read
I’ve read books before that started with a bet and what happened when it was revealed. This book was so much more than that. The twists and turns keep emotions high and the pages turning!

When a Player Finds Love
Tristan Locke was a notorious womanizer until a bet forced him to spend time with Phoenix. Tristan wasn't expecting the strong chemistry or that Phoenix would slowly make this player consider something more with her.
I really enjoyed this story even though Tristan almost had me wanting to smack him at times. Great story!

Masquerading At Love
Tristian and Phoenix had me hooked from the first moment they met. Their fire and desire chemistry was off the charts. They got to know each other in a personal way and fell deeply in love. The trauma they both experienced from their families help play a part in their journey. Kudos to Tiye Love on another amazing story.

So good
I really enjoyed this book!
Tristan was a whole heaux! He had them women coming and going day and night. He was self centered and all about his self and his bands success. He loved only himself. He was so young and successful so it came with the territory.
Phoenix was a hardworking young woman who wanted more than sex, she wanted to be loved above all else. This irritated Tristan to no end and their boss Scarlet. They mad a bet to knock her down some pegs and humiliate her.
Only Tristan could no longer hide behind the mask in his life’s masquerade. The mask gets pulled away and the heart is revealed! What does Earth Wind & Fire say “you can’t hide love, and I betcha!”

Tiye never disappoints. I have read every book in her catalog. They are all very well written and captures you from the beginning to the end. This book was no different than the others. Tristan and Phoenix mad my heart smile. Players can fall in love after all. Tristan met his match with Phoenix. She showed him how rewarding and special love can be. I was scared for a moment. I thought Tristan was gone and my ❤ cried.

Loved it
Phoenix and Tristan both had some tough breaks in their youth that made them both seem far more mature than their age. Phoenix was holding on to personal convictions and Tristan was holding on to his no commitment ways. Who knew a chance meeting would result in a foundation of friendship and fulfillment. The universe has a way of making us do what we claimed we never would and Tristan and Phoenix were both examples of this in the most sensual of ways. Glad Scarlett got exactly what she deserved out of life.

I knew...
There was something with Scar! Definitely modeled after Scar from the Lion King😕. I loved the H and h. Both had deep rooted issues that prevented them from finding meaningful partnerships. But, the chemistry between the two was undeniable!

I have yet to be disappointed by Tiye Love. I read her book and it's always so amazing. You're blessed, honey, and I am so thankful for everything you've ever written that I've read so far. She had such an amazing plot I felt as if I were playing in my head an actual movie with so much ease. That's talent!
I loved this story it was incredible. I loved how she wrote the story it held seduction the two main characters. I also loved it was themed around masquerade based in New Orleans. I got a real vibe being the story held great descriptions of the location it was written in. The story it self was captivating.

Very Good Book
Tristan was a manwhore. He finally met Phoenix a woman who was not falling for him that easy. He mad a bet with Scarlet about sleeping with Phoenix. During this process he really liked Phoenix and fell in love with her. I love how Phoenix was able to get Tristan to change his ways about women.

So much going on! Tristan meets Raven, then Phoenix. Two birds? He's A player who finally gets his wings clipped & comes close to losing everything. Watching his journey is illuminating. This was a masquerade well worth attending.

Enjoyable story with a modern-day fairy tale vibe.
The neglect Tristan and Phoenix experienced at the hands of their parents had a major impact on their outlook and approach when it came to relationships but from opposite perspectives. Tristan was cavalier while Phoenix was guarded.
What started off as bet for Tristan, turned into a life lesson of what a meaningful relationship looks and feels like. Likewise, Phoenix learned what passion and self-worth was. The evolution of their love was truly organic, even as unconventional as their connection was.

I loved this story very and how you "Tiyed" it into "a Love for all seasons". I can't wait to read Summer's Storm and hopefully get updates about Tristan and Phoenix (Larenz Tate & Nia Long) comes to mind as visual characters. It's there vibe. Loved all the Characters Trix, Benny, Chase, Breanna and the Villains Scarlett & Maisha. Looking forward to read more about these characters.
