"Excellent fast erotic read"

A flat tire on a desolate road in the dark of night leaves Marie Robb stranded in the back woods of Europe. This was not something her journey of discovery was supposed to include. Not willing to just sit and wait for help, she strikes out on a path she finds in the woods, hoping it will lead her to civilization. After hours of walking, not only does it not lead her to help, it leads her to the man whom she was trying to avoid by taking this road -- Fredrik Sorebo. Although she does not want to accompany him to his home, being lost leaves Marie little choice.

Once there, Marie cannot stand against the desire he arouses in her. She gives herself to him completely, yet harbors grave doubts as to who Fredrik is. Will this binding with him be the completion of her, or will it be the death of her as it was for Sophie? Should she believe the gossip about what happened to Sophie, or should she follow her heart?

Though a bit short on plot, "Tremors" is long on sex, so is a satisfying erotic romance. Though I couldn't understand why the heroine decided to walk down a vague path in an eerie woods instead of staying on the road or in her car until sun-up, this does follow the classic gothic type story "don't do that!" criteria. Even though you don't get to know the hero and heroine well, I found them both to be likable and intelligent. The story concentrates solely on the two main characters. Altogether, an excellent fast erotic read.

Sensuality: NC17. Explicit heterosexual sex; oral sex; some crude language.
