Heat level: O

Incessant pestering from his friend pushes Michael Quinn to attend a short 10 minute storytelling performance to have a look at the mysterious Lady Phoenix and to find out her identity. Quite shocked to see her co-worker and friend Michael blindfolded at one of her performances, Abbey gives in to her pent up temptation and gives out an erotic performance. Stunned by Lady Phoenix’s sensuality, Michael realizes he wants the whole package, not just the promise of a story, but is Abbey willing to come out and share her naughty side?

Chasing Phoenix is an award worthy short story with amazing characters. Both sides of Abbey’s character are brilliant. She thrills while playing sultry in high heels and is absolutely charming when playing the loyal friend. I joyfully was having a hell of a time while Michael ran around looking for clues to uncover his mysterious woman. I could feel his frustration as Lady Phoenix slipped out of his hands many a time and he couldn’t do anything despite knowing that she was somebody from his office. I couldn’t help but chuckle at his thwarted attempts that mange to leave him in highly compromising positions. Their relationship has generous doses of passion, intrigue and fantasy and doesn’t feel over the top. Sexual tension had me moaning out loud and I was torn between wanting to finish the story and hurrying to find some relief of my own. Ms. d’Abo has covered every aspect of the story despite its short length. The captivating story line will engage readers by making us wonder how and when the truth will surface. No question is left unanswered as the intriguingly passionate plot winds down to an equally thrilling end. Lady Phoenix’s story telling totally mesmerized me and had a double effect, as I knew Michael was having the same intense feelings. As a friend to both Michael and Abbey, Andrew manages to make his presence felt by being a loveable pest. You will feel like you know Ms. d’Abo’s characters and will miss them when you have to put the book down. It isn’t often that I find a book of such a short length that involves me so much that the rest of the world just disappears for awhile.  For all of these reasons, I find that Chasing Phoenix is a quick read that demands a Silver Star Award.
