| Sylvia's object of desire just happens to be her neighbor. She covertly watches him behind her curtains as he practices Tai Chi in the small garden below. He's beautiful with well-defined muscles, graceful and controlled as he runs through his routine. Watching him has become a ritual and obsession and she fantasizes about him. What would it be like for him to touch her? Would he use the same controlled, graceful technique as he does in his Tai Chi? She wishes he would for real. If only she could find the courage to introduce herself she might just find out.
Portia Da Costa's style of writing is beautifully descriptive and graphic. This made the whole reading experience enjoyable and fast. The story is told from the heroine's point of view. Her antics and internal dialogue had me giggling on many occasions. The story is highly erotic, sexy, and very British. But then again Portia is British and so is the publisher of this novel. Object of Desire is a wonderful, hot, entertaining novella that will thrill readers wherever they reside.
