Maggie Durst has done her research on the particulars of her story! The processes and certifications for the project are mentioned, and you will feel you understand the development better as you follow Greg and Taylor’s progress. It starts with a great hook, which will keep you turning pages until you discover what happens to the protagonists. Durst has paced her novel for excellent readability and paints vivid pictures of her characters. The secondary drama between the main characters and their significant others is well-developed and realistic. The dialog is expressive and reveals just as much about the characters as their thoughts. Greg and Taylor’s attraction has a supernatural element, giving the impression of magical realism. Tranquility would be great for those who enjoy romances and work-related interests.
