REVIEWS:Love can't fully bloom while obstacles stand in its way. Attraction and Repulsion tells the story of a pair of lovers in Paris, as they pursue love and the forces that keep them apart try even harder. A story of love in spite of all those who would end it, Robert Scott Leyse constructs a gripping story that will be hard to put down.-Midwest Book ReviewHere in the span of a few tumultuous days, in the heart of Paris, we find a dreamed love that becomes real with quick edges, a purported ménage à trois that is not a threesome, a plotted death that is not murder, where death's sanctuary becomes a playground, and where actors become characters and characters become actors.-Tom Sheehan, author of Epic CuresAh, to be a young man in Paris with two lovely, liberated ladies in a very contemporary ménage à trois and with a colorful crew of international misfits for friends--all of it good fun until true love and jealousy intrude, and their lives take a serious turn. Robert Scott Leyse gives us a Parisian romantic comedy with a well-earned happy ending and repartee as sparkling as the champagne.-William T. Hathaway, Rinehart Award winning author of Summer SnowAdd a love triangle and a love-hate triangle together in Paris, mix in some festive adventures and crackling dialogue, and Attraction and Repulsion is the entertaining result. Page-turning fun, love, duress, and triumph: true happiness doesn't come cheap in life, or in this novel.-George Fosty, ESPN featured author of Black Ice Robert Scott Leyse has worked as a New York cab driver on the night shift; slacked galore at corporate law and pharmaceutical advertising firms (while valued by his employers); lived illegally in Paris for over two years; taken a belly dance class in Green Bay, WI; come close to sliding to his death on loose gravel above a sea cliff in his hometown of San Francisco (nails bloodied by digging into the dirt saved his life); and the most incandescent yoga class he's had was on a SUP during a storm in San Juan, PR. He eats fish heads and insects and drinks blood, but can't be paid to eat potato chips or cake.
