This is my first read by this author, and I must say that I quite enjoyed the storyline and characters. It is a sweet romance between pilot Mary and billionaire Oren. These two likeable souls and the unconventional plot make for an enjoyable read. What starts out as a survival trek in the desert turns into something more. It is a quick read with drama and humor, along with passion and love, plus engaging secondary characters to keep the reader interested.

I've read several books written by Livia Lang; she has done a great job at writing a good book; she is becoming one of my favorite authors. I can’t wait to read more of books her books.

The story line caught my attention at the very beginning and kept me interested throughout the entire book.

I loved the characters.

Good

Once again Ms. Lang writes a good book and I would have given her a higher rating but near the end of the story, which it didn't need to be used at all, she uses that blasphemous "gd" word that I absolutely can NOT stand and is such a turn off for me that I immediately STOP reading a book.

Oren and Mary find themselves in the desert and their relationship starts to form due to extreme circumstances. I loved that Mary is not afraid to stand up to Oren and shows she is just as strong as, if not stronger than, any man.

Buckle up.

Why? Because we’re crash landing in the desert. Oren Moore is a wealthy sportswear company owner who crash lands in the hotter than hot desert with pilot Mary.

Buckle up because it’s a fast ride in this quick read. Sand, desert and heat..

Oren and Mary are stranded in the desert, in a race against time, wrestling control, will they find love or more? This story was very reminiscent of Castaway minus the ocean and island, but also very very interesting.

A steamy drama filled story that required a few breathing breaks to cut through the back to back heat waves this couple set off

A story that had a bit of suspense, drama and plenty of steam. I liked how the author crafted the story. It was well crafted with believable emotions and good characters.

Short story. Not at all realistic. Didn't get to know the characters well enough to really care about them. Plus two men were killed but neither one seemed to grieve for more than a day before forgetting about them.

This story was far too short to get any real feel for the characters apart from Oren being a whinger and Mary having endless patience.

Because of this their relationship was not at all believable.

The desert was very well described.
