Best Friends Hannah and Rea have decided to go travelling together and their first stop is Tangiers in Morocco. Whilst wandering around a local market the girls witness a chase. A young boy is being chased by two men who look like the local police. Giving chase behind them are two burly men.

The girls don’t think much of it and continue around the market where Rea takes a liking to a cheap necklace from one of the stalls. Later that evening at their hotel they notice the two men from the back of the chase watching them.

They are a little freaked out, especially when the men turn up more than once. In the bar one evening, a man called Toby introduces himself to the girls and want to know why they are being followed. The girls haven’t a clue but when they return to their room and someone has been searching it, it’s time to move on and Toby offers to take them to their next destination, Chefchoen

But can the girls trust Toby and why are the men so interested in two women just having a good time on their holiday?

Being a novella of only 55 pages An Object of Desire jumps right into the action and moves at a fast pace throughout. Hannah and Rea have known one another since they were little girls and have been best friends ever since. They were all set for having a good time in Morocco before moving onto Spain but fate, it seems, would have other ideas.

They presume that the two men think they must have witnessed something about the chase in the market but they both assure Toby that they didn’t see anything apart from four men chasing a young lad, possibly a thief.

The girls quickly realise that Toby is some sort of ‘James Bond’ with his gadgets and inconspicuous car, which isn’t a good thing for the girls as Hannah states ‘None of the James Bond girls make it to the end of the film.’

The characters were all wonderful and the places so vibrant even the food that they ate sounded exotic, though maybe not the liver!! The plot held my attention and even though it was a novella there was enough happening throughout and I wasn’t left wanting more.

I had worked out pretty early on what the men were after from the girls but this didn’t take away my enjoyment. If you like books set in gorgeous locations and with fun, energetic characters and a plot that leaves you breathless, then An Object of Desire is the book for you.
