The storyline behind Dark Desire really grabbed my attention. The sexual tension was portrayed well, but I didn’t feel a strong connection between the characters. The twist and turns kept me guessing until the end. Though the ending dropped off into a big cliff hanger, I couldn’t help but wonder what happens next.
