Editoral Review

Try Me by Diane Alberts is a steamy romance novel that was first published on December 30, 2013. The author, Diane Alberts, is a New York Times and USA Today bestselling author, and has written over sixty novels across various genres.

Try Me is one of her earlier works, and it explores themes of love, loss, and second chances. The story follows the character of Samantha Kane, a successful lawyer who is used to being in control.

However, when she meets the charming, mysterious Blake Thomas, she finds that she cannot resist him. Despite her reservations, Samantha falls deeply in love with Blake, but their pasts threaten to tear them apart.

With twists and turns along the way, Try Me is a tale of passion, suspense, and ultimately, redemption. While Try Me is a relatively light read, it does touch on some deeper themes such as trust, forgiveness, and healing.

The characters are well-drawn and likable, even if they are somewhat predictable in their actions. The pacing of the novel is well-done, with enough suspense to keep the reader engaged without becoming overwhelming.

The writing is also strong, with vivid descriptions and realistic dialogue. However, that being said, the plot of Try Me is not particularly original, and it does follow many of the conventions of the romance genre.

Some readers may find the characters and situations to be overly formulaic. Additionally, the ending does wrap up a little too neatly, with certain plot points feeling rushed or underdeveloped.

Despite these flaws, Try Me is a fun and enjoyable read. Fans of the romance genre will appreciate the well-crafted love story, and those looking for a quick, engaging read will find it to be a satisfying choice.

Overall, Try Me is a solid novel that showcases Diane Alberts’ talent as a writer. Rating: 3.5/5.
