Scorched Destiny

Lucienne de la Rue isn’t just another pretty face. Her family would rather that she spend her time searching for a suitable husband than traipsing across the Arabian Desert looking for ancient artifacts. She’s at the end of her rope with the babysitter with which her father has saddled her, and with those who would naysay her search for powerful and sensual beings, called the djinn. She’d like to convince herself that her curiosity about the djinn is purely academic, but her body knows better. Lucienne has been having the most erotic dreams of the djinni, and now her dreams will become reality.

Nadir is trapped by a force beyond his control, but he won’t gain his freedom even if he is discovered. He will simply serve another master, or in this case, mistress, but he is resigned to his fate – after all, what choice does he have?

Michelle M. Pillow crafts a hot and spicy tale of magic and passion in Scorched Destiny. Lucienne is wonderful; she’s headstrong and stubborn, and is fixed firmly on fulfilling her destiny. Nadir is simply perfect; he’s a walking wet dream with the ability to grant wishes – what’s not to like? Sensual, with a surprisingly heart-warming plot twist at the end, Scorched Destiny more than met my expectations and left me wondering if Ms. Pillow will be telling more tales of the djinn. Excellent job and keep ‘em coming!
