The Headline Delta imprint has established a distinctive reputation for strong, well-crafted erotic fiction, and Nadia Adamant's `Burning Desire' is a worthy contribution to this strain. It concerns a young woman's exploration of a number of incidents in which people appeared to have spontaneously combusted to a fatal degree, all of them in circumstances carrying strongly erotic overtones. The incidents appear somehow connected to the locations in which they took place, and our heroine finds it necessary to test her own overheated temperament in them. The adventures that result cover a particularly wide range of hedonistic tastes, and they are described enthusiastically in this book. Several of her encounters are of a disciplinary nature, including a particularly inventive one in a school for girls, many of whom eagerly embrace their craving for corrective treatment. The book amply sustains an air of mystery throughout.
