Three Wrong Turns In The Desert (2009) - Plot & Excerpts
Liam and Aidan, two men from very different backgounds, meet each other in Tunisia and sparks fly. Liam is an ex-Navy SEAL and due to a missunderstanding the two MCs soon find themselves thrown into a lot of action and adventure. Because of his former job, Liam has had to conceal and surpress his sexuality, but now it has the chance to come back with a vengeance – and it does! The two men have hot sex and, of course, fall in love.If you want to read a realistic description of an odyssey in the North African desert and two perfectly normal men who fall in love in a low key way, this is not the book for you. But if you check your thirst for realism at the door and embrace some adventure, love and hot sex, you will be in for quite a ride! I read a lot of non m/m books and one of my guilty pleasure genres are action/adventure stories normally involving mercenaries of some sort or another, so this book was off to a good start as it married the two together. Aiden is an English teacher who heads to Tunisa after leaving his partner of 10 years, one evening to avoid being mugged he ducks into a bar where he sees a man showering through an open window. Returning the next day he witnesses a drive by fatal shooting and the man from the shower, Liam, mistakes him for the victim, who he should have been guarding. The pair must then work together to unravel what happens, which takes them on a journey across the Tunisian desert to Libya. Their footsteps are dogged by the authorities and more shady characters and they must keep moving to their final destination, whether their journey is by rail, motorbike or camel. There is an instant attraction between the two men, but both are quite insecure regarding personal feelings and have fairly chequered histories so the development to a full relationship and declarations of love is drawn out through the story. I really enjoyed this one and will definitely look at the authors other stories.
