Synopses & Reviews
When art meets commerce in New York, it's an alchemic reaction of passions ignited, of worlds colliding. Cindi Myers stirs it all up and delivers an intoxicating elixir of love in Work of Heart, as she delves into the true love story of Nina Barry and Danny deZayas. Born into a family of famous Russian artists and raised in eclectic Boulder, Colorado, Nina Barry is an accomplished painter who sees the world through kaleidoscope eyes--and when fate blows her a kiss in the form of D.J. Danny deZayas at a Brooklyn dance club, her world suddenly spins faster than a CD at warp speed!
Danny is a Renaissance man who transforms from hip DJ at night to virtuoso entrepreneur building business empires by day. On the outside it appears that Danny has it all. Success, a rocking lifestyle, a large and loving family. But he doesn't have the one thing he wants most: Nina. They're such close friends that they share their innermost secrets--except for the secret longing each harbors for the other. That is, until they end up sharing more than a campfire over the Fourth of July. The fireworks between them sizzle and burn, launching them into a dimension of intimacy that is too intense to ever be broken...
Or can it? What happens when Danny's travels put more than physical distance between them? And when Nina's starving artist existence clashes with Danny's flush independence, will he come after her when she leaves him and begins seeing another man? Danny has broken her heart. What can he do to mend the rift of his making and convince Nina he's meant to be her one and only lover, her partner for life in a world that's their playground if only she'll trust him again?
Review
"Nina Barry doesn't mind suffering for her art because she believes in herself and after graduating college she stays in New York to pursue her career. She has many friends but no one special that is until she lays eyes on Danny de Zayas, the only trouble is he's taken. Danny de Zayas loves being an entrepreneur and after he graduates college that's exactly what he intends to do, life however has other plans for him. Those plans include a different career path than he envisioned and a different woman too because the first time he sees Nina Barry he sees possibilities that he only dreamed of before. Nina and Danny have love on their side, but sometimes love isn't enough. Will they make it, you'll have to read the novel yourself to find out. But believe me you'll enjoy the ride.
Cindi Myers has a way of telling a story that makes her readers part of it by making them feel like they're right there during conversations, arguments and hardships and that's really what a reader wants, to feel an ownership of the story. She brings us a true love story between real life people and that makes us even more intimate with the players in this tale. She uses clear and descriptive dialogue that flows easily throughout the novel so her audience can easily experience all the different senses right along with her cast of characters. Her hero and heroine are extra special to the readers because this is their real romance on paper and they are so worthy of their Happy Ever After although fate and circumstance makes us and them work really hard to get there. Her love scenes are shaded just enough that no reader will be put off by them and yet extremely sensual in their reality.
It's a true feel good, heartwarming love story. One that any lover of a great romance will appreciate with the added bonus of it being an actual memoir as well. Buy it, read it, share it with others and you like me will be left with the knowledge that true love is not only possible but is out there for real. . . ."
