WOW! This book was an automatic topper of my favorite books list. It has everything! Sigh-worthy romance, fast-paced adventure, spine-tingling suspense...I absolutely loved it. The plot is this: Allison Westcott, an army nurse in pre-WWI Middle East, gets caught up in a British espionage ring. Murder and mystery seem to follow her everywhere as she searches for answers and vital information that must not get into the hands of the enemy. But the question is...who IS the enemy? Allison and the handsome Colonel Bret Holden can trust no one as they race to get the information before someone else does...and Allison even becomes the bait to lure the murderer in the heartstopping climax! Have I convinced you? What are you waiting for? Buy it! BUY IT! You'll love it I promise!

I loved it, I loved it, I loved it. This is one of my most absolutely favorite books. Alison is a young woman who gets caught up in murder, espionage, betrayal, faith,romance, and adventure.
This is a must read! Not only because of the previously listed attributes, but also, it is a good Christian novel, with nothing dirty and zero profanity.
Will Alison and Bret stop the murderer and rescue the important papers? Will Alison lose faith when she is betrayed by one who she thought she could trust?

Wow! "Arabian Winds" is a book that will totally blow you away! Nurse Allison Wescott is on holiday with the archaeology club near Aleppo in the summer of 1914. Little did she know that she would get involved in something so dangerous that it had caused two lives and that it may cost her her own life. To her horror, she finds herself interrogated by an handsome officer who stirs the fire of romance. Then the plot gets even more complicated: she finds that she is the only one who is holding the key to locating the information that the two other agents had thought worth dying for. And who is the murderer and the German enemy agent? Great story with an very well-developed, excitable,and complicated plot that is deftly woven into a time when the world will soon be at war. This will keep you on the edge of your seat and won't let you put it down. Follow the adventures of Allison Wescott in her journey with the Lord and as she follows her own heart in her romance with the mysterious British intelligence officer, Bret Holden. Linda Chaikin deserves an award for this series: LIONS OF THE DESERT. An outstanding, wonderful job!

i borrowed this book from a friend, and once i started it, i couldn't put it down! this book is a definate must-read! it's about a young nurse who gets envolved in espionage, finds true love, and oh my gosh, you have got to read this book! so, what are you waiting for??? you won't be dissapointed

I enjoyed this book so much I wrote the author and told her so.This is christian fiction at its personal best.The characters are real, the plot ingenious,and the romance completely fascinating. I've read this book more than once;in fact over the years I've read it 5 times. A masterpiece.

I'm new to Linda Chaikin's novels, but I simply can't wait to read the rest of her books...this was beyond a surprise. I couldn't put it down! The entire series is amazing (book #2 is "Lions of the Desert" and book #3 is "Valiant Hearts"), and I love the way Linda mixes romance with history and mystery. The chemistry between the two main characters simply jumps off the page and the plot is so interesting that it'll have you reading all night to find out what happens! A must-have for anyone who enjoys Christian romance, historical fiction, or mystery.

The first book is set in the months before World War I, in Egypt, where nurse Allison Wescott finds herself caught up in a world of murder and espionage, not to mention romance, as she's caught between two loves (her fiance and a mysterious British officer).

Wow! This book was much of a suprise! The ending..... I won't tell! Romance, murder, mystery, action, this book has it all!!!!!!! :)

This is the best of Chaikin! It's both romance and mystery! You won't be able to put it down! The plot is great and the characters are fantastic! If you haven't had the opportunity to read Arabian Winds then your missing out on one of the best Christian romances series ever!

Faith, Espionage, and Love come together in this book to leave you spellbound. Linda Chaikin effortlessly wove Allison's faith and feelings and eluded to Bret's which left you craving for more of them. The mystery was excellent and took twists you did not expect which was refreshing. I would recommend this book to anybody.
