Story: GOODIntimacy Level: N/AEnjoyment: GOODLength: 548 kindleStyle: Contemporary Adventure EroticSeries: An Erotic Expedition (book 1)I love this story, but it also comes with a few strong buts as I also struggle with the rating for the story. If you have seen the movieRomancing the Stone, this book is  similar because it reminds me of this movie and I thought it was a good movie. I was surprised the story and plot were good thus far for only 29 pages.  Lou is on and expedition in the Sahara Desert with sweltering heat along with her desert guide, Quinn. Quinn is a tracker and is very very very and I mean very, good at tracking, especially with his nose. The author paints him in a way that is very appealing to read, because although he is a man of not so many words, he commands the scenes with Lou and you can't help but take notice.The storyline drew me in as I thought this would have been a simple book with words to get to a sex scene. But since it's free you should try out this story. Lou and Quinn's chemistry was evident and it felt like the reader was getting a long tease/ foreplay of the chemistry and physical attraction between them. And that can be appealing to me as a reader to stay focus and not lose interest with the couple. I felt as though I wanted to rip Quinn from the pages and ask him to bodyguard me,hell, even if its to my mailbox, I was that taken by him and what he can do.Ok, my buts.  For the intimacy level, I put N/A. Believe me, I was already enthralled without any physical action, however, right as the moment took over both Quinn and Lou to act on their heat and give in, it is cut off. NOT..., a good place to leave a cliff hanger, I don't know about other readers, but I personally would like to have read this in book 1. I also don't talk much about pricing of books in my reviews, but I really like this story, but bothDesert Thirst - Part 2 (An Erotic Expedition Novella)andDesert Thirst - Part 3 (An Erotic Expedition Novella)are at $1.99 each with only 27 pages each. As a reader it makes you not want to bother. This novella is already short and with a combination of the books, the author should combine with one price. Sometimes as a reader I feel taken advantage of when books are divided in volumes with limited pages and overpriced cost.Apart from that, Overall, I love the story and what the author did as she paints the scenery and relationship between Lou and Quinn.Books In Series:Desert Thirst - Part 2 (An Erotic Expedition Novella)Desert Thirst - Part 3 (An Erotic Expedition Novella)
