Masquerade Party Guests
The main characters from Lover’s Trill are invited to a masquerade party. What are their costumes?
Leo and Andre go to a masquerade party in Lover’s Trill — but I don’t want to give away what they wear so… Music is both of their loves, so they would go as characters from a Broadway musical. Leo’s flamboyant when he’s onstage and when he goes out on the town. He’d be outrageous. He’d go as Priscilla from the Broadway version of Priscilla Queen of the Desert! Andre sticks with the classics. He would go as the Phantom from the Phantom of the Opera.
Lover’s Trill
Let the musical magic of Vienna weave a second chance at love.
Rocker Leo needs a break. From the band, roadies, everything related to his present life. Wandering the streets of Vienna, he chances upon a poster that just might change his life. Andre Revele, renowned violinist, and Leo’s ex-lover, is performing in the city. It’s been years since Leo slipped out of Andre’s life, but he’s never forgotten their passionate love of music and each other.
Andre is shocked when Leo shows up backstage after his performance. He is angry, but he can’t walk away. Against his better judgment, he invites Leo to his hotel for a drink. Not sure what he wants from Leo, he knows what his body wants. A night of passionate sex leads to another, until he’s lost his heart to Leo again.
When Andre finds his trust in Leo tested, Leo must prove his loyalty by using their one common passion — music — to bind their hearts.
The following excerpt from LOVER’S TRILL is for readers 18 and over.
Happy to wander aimlessly, Leo slipped his hands into his fleeced-lined jacket. Living in LA, he forgot how cold it could be in February. He turned the corner and sputtered to a halt. Staring at the poster pasted to the side of a building, he didn’t need to read the name spelled in bold letters across the poster to know who it was. He could never forget that face in rapture — when playing or getting off. Music and sex had invoked the same feelings in Andre Revele. Passion was passion, and that man always had both in spades.
The black and white picture showed Andre playing the violin. Numbness swept across Leo as he stared at Andre caressing the bow in those slender-fingered hands — such artistic hands on a large man. It had been love at first sight — or at least lust — when Leo had walked into the practice room.
He could still remember a youthful Andre, not quite grown into his robust physique, as he played the last stanza of Bach’s Concerto in E. The violin’s notes had faded into magic dust, the music echoing in the atmosphere long after the performance was over. Bright green eyes peered through dark lashes and sensual pouty lips morphed into a shy smile. That’s all it took for the seed of love to be planted in Leo’s musical heart.
He scanned the poster for the dates of the virtuoso’s concert. Tomorrow night was the last performance. Leo shuffled on his feet, unable to move away. He bit his lip and traced the image of Andre. Did he dare go?

I love costumes that cover everything and hide your true identity. I once saw a Frankenstein that was amazing.

I was a lot thinner one halloween and dressed in a harem costume! It was my first and only costume I have worn as an adult. I had a great time in this outfit, I still have it though I cannot fit into it at all!!

I haven’t dressed up since I was a kid, but I used to collect really fancy paper mache masks and I got all decked out in black and wore one of my fanciest ones with a sun theme with a wild hairdo. Took me hours to get my hair to stand out in these crazy curls to make me look like I had these strands going out like sun rays.
oh! If it’s not too late, please count me in! 😀
My favorite costume was when I was a spider witch like… 2 years ago. It was rushed and last minute but it was the most fun I had making a costume in a long time. LOL…
Thank you!
