An expedition
to search for the mysterious Estela blossom, rumored to be endowed with
aphrodisiacal qualities, leads scientists Olivia and Jordon to the jungles of
Riviera May. Should they actually find the elusive flower, they have big plans
for it beyond those of simple love potion, hoping it can be used to develop
better pain medications and more.
Their search proves more than fruitful, but Estela is protected by a Shaman and
his tribe of native warriors, two of which show Olivia and Jordon the full
erotic power of the flower they seek. They are engulfed by the passion they
experience under the influence of Esteal with warriors Chale and Amador, and
each woman knows her life has been forever changed by the experience.
I have to say, I am loving Harlequin’s Spice Briefs line. Each of the stories
I’ve read published for this line has been a tasty little erotic treat that
delivers a lot of romantic punch for such a short read.
In particular, I have to say that PRIMAL INSTINCTS co written by
Lisa Renee Jones and Cathryn Fox is among my very favorites. The fact that this
story was penned by two authors who have earned a place in my list of favorite
authors made it irresistible to me, and once again, both authors lived up to my
expectations.
Let me start off by saying that this story is a wonderful erotic interlude with
two couples. It is not the typical romance in which the couples end up together
at the end, but then Harlequin doesn’t bill this line as romance. They promote
them as erotic short stories, which is exactly what PRIMAL INSTINCTS
is, and deliciously so!
For such a short story, there is actually a lot of story here, especially
considering we have two separate couples that star in this book. The fact that
this brief is told entirely from the perspective of the women makes that
possible. The men are a bit of a mystery, but their personalities shine through
and we learn enough to want more from both Chale and Amador, along with Jordon
and Olivia.
Although this is a complete story, it feels like it could be a sort of a
prologue, and I am crossing my fingers that Ms. Fox and Ms. Jones return to
these characters with full-blown romances for each in the near future. My
appetite has certainly been whetted for more…
PRIMAL INSTINCTS is the perfect indulgence for when you want a
quick and very sexy read.
