Really good story
Plot: B
The plot was good. It wasn't like I expected. I thought, for some reason, that Matt and Sophie, and Sophie and Tarek was going to different. The story had me wondering until the very end, and for a moment had me wondering if there was going to be no HEA. But everything worked out in the end, and in an unexpected way. I wish we had other character's POV, but it worked well with just Sophie's.
Characters: B
I liked Sophie. I thought that she acted rationally, for the most part, with the exception of the beginning. I really liked Tarek, though what he did was wrong. But it was their culture, and he changed for the better, so it turned out ok. I liked witnessing him gain emotions, and loved some of the things he said to Sophie.I loved Matt's character, and how sweet he was, and I felt bad for him.
Sex: B+
There were some really spicy scenes, and in abundance.

WOW!
This one is out of this world good ;) get it? It was such an awesome story and it gets an automatic 5 from me for the super awesome ending to this part of the story. It ended with a BANG for sure. I am so glad that I bought all three parts because the cliffhanger in the end of this part would have killed me if I had to wait for the next part for more than one day. I am definitely reading the next part tonight because I cannot wait to see what happens next. I was left in shock with that ending.
The story is well written. The stories from this author are always super good and entertaining and this one is just as good as the others I have read from her except that this is more on the sci-fi genre but even though it's not something I am used to reading from this author I must say it is incredibly good. I am so curious about this alien (Tarek) and I cannot wait to read more. The experiments performed to the main character (Sophie) were a little bit on the shocking side (but in a good way) I was just thinking OMG I can't believe that is happening... Now on to the second part :)
Awesome story!

Safety Rating: Safe
• No cheating
• Does have OM drama
- OM is there for the Heroine when the Hero isn't–especially after she finds out she's pregnant
• Does have pushing away
• Does have a separation
Possible Triggers:
• Abduction
• Sexual acts are told in FMCs perspective–they are consensual but the Hero didn't actually get consent to impregnate her. They discussed it but there was no actual agreement and yet, he impregnated her anyways (through toys).
Ending: HEA

Distant Desires was a fun series. I loved Sophie and Tarek.
