4.0 out of 5 stars
delightful historical tale,
This review is from: Beyond Desire (Mass Market Paperback)
Late in the nineteenth century while searching for the fabled Zoran in Arabia, Sir Peregrine deLisle dies. Before his death Sir Peregrine hid ancient bracelets in a secret chamber in his English home as he did not trust their neighbor, Dzmura. However, the sly Dzmura gained entrance to Peregrine's home by paying attention to one of the daughters, Allegra.Called a grave robber because of his uncanny ability to sense lost treasures buried under tons of sand, Ryder Culhane was with Peregrine when he died. He visits Alexandra to inquire about the bracelets, but she is aloof, cold, and nasty as only an English woman can be when she is attracted to a forbidden male. Dzmura works indirectly as he sends Allegra to steal them, which she does. The thieves flee for Persia. Ryder plans to follow them. Alexandra needs to go after her sibling so she offers the adventurer anything he desires if he will take her with him. As they travel through Europe and eventually Persia, Alexandra and Ryder have many adventures including dynamic ones in makeshift boudoirs as they fall in love. Known for her erotic romances, Thea Devine provides her fans with a delightful historical tale that has her usual degree of sex to the third X, but inside of an exciting action tale. Alexandra is a courageous soul who will do anything to see her younger sister safe. Though some of locales and timing for the boudoir adventures seem difficult in terms of getting it up (no headaches stop this duo as Ryder can do it in a sandstorm) readers will appreciate Ms. Devine's Persian adventure.

Hot! Hot! Hot!,
By Lily Bart "lilybits" (The House of Mirth) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Beyond Desire (Mass Market Paperback)
This is the most sexy book I have ever read! Hot romance fans will absolutely adore this desert tale of sex and passion.
Prim Alexandra and rugged adventurer Ryder Culhane have every kind of sex you can possibly imagine. They are out to recover a pair of priceless bracelets that Alexandra's archaeologist father dug up long ago. Unfortunately, Alexandra's spoiled and sexy little sister Allegra has fallen completely under the spell of evil foreign collector Dzmura -- and it looks like he has the bracelets! Journeying to Persia to confront him, Alexandra is separated from her rugged Ryder and falls into the clutches of the evil Dzmura herself. But when her intense training in the arts of pleasure turns Alexandra into a willing slave herself, can even Ryder save her in time? Only three words can truly describe this sexy romance. Hot, hot, hot!

Interesting read,
By Red Robin (New York) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Beyond Desire (Mass Market Paperback)
I found the storyline here to be more interesting than the erotica. The sex scenes were nice, but didn't really make my temperature rise much. If you're looking for a really steamy read, you may be disappointed. Overall, however, I enjoyed it (hence the 4 stars), and may reread it at some point in the future.
