A dying sheikh and a spitfire woman!,
By Marilyn Shoemaker (Seattle, Washington) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Desert Prince, Blackmailed Bride (Harlequin Presents) (Mass Market Paperback)
Gabby has a serious problem. She's in a foreign country and her brother has been jailed for drug trafficking. He's always had a problem with pretty women and he let one talk him into taking a stuffed animal with him on the plane and was arrested. As his sister, she feels responsible and pleads his case but is told nothing can be done. So she storms the King's palace to plead her case only to meet the handsome Prince Rafiq. Immediately, there is bantering and he realizes she is strong, fierce and would make a wonderful wife for his "weak" brother so he blackmails her into meeting his brother and hopefully marrying him in the end.The sparks fly between Gabby and Rafiq and they both fight it all the way. What Gabby realizes about this proud man when he spills that he's dying that this country and its future are first and foremost for him, and he would sacrifice anything to make sure it's safe and stable, even at his own happiness. She also falls desperately in love with him and at every turn he fights his attraction until his kisses her and then everything changes for them both. However, it's always unspoken and at the back of everything. Things get out of control when Gabby meets Rafiq's younger brother. He reminds her of her own and she actually likes him. But she makes one mistake, she tells him his brother's secret and then he leaves the country. Rafiq mistakes it for his lack of responsibility, but in the end, it's entirely something different. However, he's angry and then the most unexpected thing happens, Gabby comforts him and they make love. Trust me, that's when the entire story changes but you'll have to read Desert Prince, Blackmailed Bride to see what happens to the virgin temptress and the proud, dying, honorable sheikh. One thing is for sure, the Prince and the Princess find equal ground, surprises and a happy ending which was brilliant as crafted by author Kim Lawrence.

Princes and virgins,
By North (Canada) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Desert Prince, Blackmailed Bride (Harlequin Presents) (Kindle Edition)
Who can resist a tale of a prince and a virgin ? Of two strong characters clashing and falling in love despite themselves ?This book delivers on all your expectations of sheikhs and blue-eyed blonds, strong-willed, independant heroins. Rafiq and Gabby are both likeable. Their actions speak of honor, duty and family. My only problem is the plot. Gabby's brother, accused of smuggling drugs, and depending on Gabby to plead her case to the king. Gabby's being able to sneak into the palace and finding Rafiq. Rafiq deciding in two minutes flat that Gabby will make the perfect wife for his brother. All the premises of this novel are unrealistic. It lessened my enjoyment of the book because I could not believe for one moment this could ever happen in real life. Otherwise, this would have been 4 stars.
