Synopsis (Goodreads):
Can Janet survive the heat of an alien desert? And the heat of the alien warrior who finds her?

One minute Janet is sliding into a snow bank. The next she is alone in the middle of a strange pink desert. Alone and naked.

When a huge, golden-scaled male appears out of the shifting sands, she is convinced that he is a mirage. But the fiery pleasure of his touch feels too real to be an illusion.

Sabros is preparing for his final initiation as a priest of Tetlana when he is snatched away from his temple. The desert in which he awakens reminds him of his ancestral sands. But his ancestors would never have accepted the delicate female who arouses all of his protective instincts.

The desert holds many secrets - not the least of which are the secrets of the heart. Which will prove most treacherous as Janet and Sabros make the perilous trek to safety?
Thoughts on The Bare Essentials: A clueless human woman and an almost-priest are stranded together and...things get frisky! Being dumped naked on an alien planet with only one another to depend on for survival (honestly, Sabros would have done just fine without Janet, but she most definitely needed him to survive the wilds) tends to bring the frisky out in these couples.

Which I'm totally fine with. Totally.

So. Janet and Sabros. She goes from snow and cold to sand and heat and she's not really equipped to deal with it. In any way. Fortunately, Sabros is built for this type of terrain and the two of them do just fine once they team up.

And the longer they spend together, the more they both come to realize there's something brewing between them. A heaping dose of danger (in a pretty cool abandoned underground city) has the two of them realizing that something is worth fighting for.

I'm enjoying this series and these couples. A LOT.
