I am so glad I read this book, it was so good. It's the story of 26 year old Giselle, who's tryin to decide out of the two guy's she dating which to lose her virginity to. Vishnu, is a construction worker who she's more physically attractive to, and Robert is a guy who she think would be the better choice socially. The book is o funny, and Giselle has an attitude out of this world. Another thing I like about this book is that it was romantic without all the nasty talking, and graphic scences. This by far is my favorite read of the year.

This novel is based in Trinidad and was a fantastic and very entertaining read for me. Giselle Karan is an academic who is working with the Caribbean Media Company where she is a computer ace. Giselle has all that she wants but the only think lacking as far as she could see is a good partner. With her nose in the air she has a choice between Vishnu a construction worker who she physically attracted to, and Robert another man of her ilk who makes good money and will be accepted in the upper class Trinidad society.
CARNIVAL SEASON is coming up soon and this is the event of the year for all Trinidadians. Giselle however will make her choice sometime around then......but the ups and downs and her ifs and buts will determine who her suitor will be. She wants what she considers the good parts from both men.........the physical and good looking side from Vishnu and Robert's intellectual brains and money, and obviously the one everyone will expect her to wed. What will she do???

It may sound like a simple book.............but it was so full of excitement as Carnival draws near, and you're drawn into real transformation.The reader will have a wonderful time and a tremendous surprise at the end that will encourage you to think again. Simply as it seems you will be spellbound with a capital S. I recommend this for all readers who engage in Caribbean fiction and other similar work. Thanks Mr. Baldeosingh........come again soon.

I've read Virgin's Triangle, and somehow i can relate to what Giselle feels, though I am much youger, i know what young people feel and go through when it comes to sex, I've lived in Trinidad and know all about carnival and those other matters, but i still ask myself why in a rush for sex? Otherwise i found these book very descriptive of it's environment, place, and theme, and i think the author Kevin is going on the rigth track to becoming a great writer, and hope to read another interesting book from him, but what i like the most is the change, since most caribbean stories tell the story of a little girl or boy growing up in a small village, and Kevin's story goes a step further into actually portraying what changes and feelings young people encounter not only in Trinidad but all around the world.

If you're looking for a good read Virgin's Triangle is it. The story is hot and spicy like Giselle, the main character. At times I found Giselle to be a little too snooty but all in all the story was great. It was told without all the sensationalism often found in American contemporary romance novels. It was just pure honest FUN without the crazy exaggerations.

I am so glad I read this book, it was so good. It's the story of 26 year old Giselle, who's tryin to decide out of the two guy's she dating which to lose her virginity to.
