Acquainted with Vice

STEAMY ROMANCE

At twenty-two, Dallas has his life in order. He’s somewhat shy but has a few friends, Taylor and Carolyn. Dallas has worked hard through his college years and has one more to go and after that, maybe culinary school. He’s always has a job and has paid his tuition, rent and bills without any help. The smartest move he made was separating himself from a controlling and dysfunctional family.

His roommate Carolyn and him are very close. Dallas is pretty much an adopted brother and Carolyn has always watched out for Dallas. He works so hard at college and his jobs that he never has time for vacation or spring break. Carolyn and boyfriend Taylor invite Dallas to come along to Taylors family cabin. It was the best “no cost” vacation Dallas would ever have.

Dallas is ready to go but Carolyn and Taylor are sleeping in. With directions and keys to the cabin in hand Dallas heads out. When Dallas arrives, he finds it’s more than a cabin and comes complete with a boarder.

Lee Porter, forty-two, has just had his life turned upside down. Lee’s a fairly good businessman and had it all. But his long-time, open marriage has come to an end with one slip of an agreement. Divorce final and finances split, he finds himself staying at the secluded cabin, preparing to start over again in the city.

Dallas’ and Lee’s introduction is certainly awkward! Maybe the company will be good for Lee and maybe Dallas won’t feel like a third wheel.

Siobhan Smile creates a steamy romantic, love story with a touch of drama. It brings out the inner strength, support and trust that Lee and Dallas share in a growing relationship, regardless of their age. Dallas is especially a surprise in how he reacts to Lee and vice-versa, it’s a change on what’s suppose to be normal.

All is not easy for Dallas and Lee as they make decisions about their own relationship. Will Lee be able to accept a different concept when it comes to the relationship? There’s concern for when to tell the “kids” Taylor and Carolyn. There’s drama with Dallas’s parents and Lee’s ex-Brand.

There’s a nice little group of supportive secondary characters: Dallas’ boss, Edwin and co-workers Lila and Felix. Lee’s business partners Tom and Loren and Lee’s ex-girlfriend and Taylors mother, Taria.

“Acquainted with Vice” is for those who love to be entertained and like that things are not always normal. I was totally entertained and my curiosity had me turning every page to find out where this wonderful relationship would take Dallas and Lee. I’ll be watching for more heartwarming stories from Siobhan Smile!
