Chick Lit at its best.  There are quite a few definitions of Chick Lit - the best one I have come across is from Novelicious.com who says: ‘Chick lit is intelligent, funny, emotionally truthful, hearty, romantic fiction that accurately reflects the lives of women today.’Faith gives us thirty-four pages (approx) of well written prose set in a dangerous and exotic location whisking the reader straight into the desert to an archaeological dig that has had the plug pulled on it.Ann has suffered tragedy in her past and seeks solace in her work as an archaeologist.  She is angry and disappointed when she loses her job. She decides to have one last attempt at finding the elusive temple treasures.Warnings of the sandstorm are ignored and as the ferocity of nature approaches she realises she has to find shelter.  Rescue comes in the form of her enigmatic boss, Conrad, who has his own tragic story to tell.As another reviewer mentioned the story ends too soon.
