This is absolutely a fantastic read. It's emotional, warm, spirited and a very sensual journey in finding love. It's a story of survival for them both with a peaceful ending full of joy!

Susan Stephen's characters Zara and Shahin sizzled and their attraction and passion was instant. This is a story I will long remember and will enjoy reading again and again.

This review is from: Bedded By The Desert King (Harlequin Presents) (Mass Market Paperback)

This book was a laughable disaster. It could not have been more unrealistic. The story did not develop, it just bounced around. He hates him and out of the blue she's in love. He never expresses a need to be with her forever. She seduces him making him realize in the last 3 pages that he is going to be her slave forever. I don't know about you, but I like Sheikhs to be the ones to do the pursuing, to be the dominant ones. Not the case here. Also she says she needs BOTH her hands to even be able to "stroke" him! At one point he says she doesn't know the difference between a school-girl crush and real love. To which she counters "I have waited a long time to find love. Don't you think I would recognize love when I found it?" SHE'S ONLY 20!!! I can't say enough how disappointed I was with this book. I own every possible sheikh book out there. This one didn't even deserve one star.
