Heart's Desire was another great book by Cameron Dokey. It combined romance, suspense, and a bit of horror. Jeanine is an ordinary teenage girl who buys an Egyptian pendant at a second hand store one rainy day. On a class trip to the museum, the pendant awakens a young Egyptian man, who during the time of the Middle Kingdom, was cursed by an unfaithful lover. Jeanine is determined to deal with this situation practically - until she finds herself falling in love with him. I highly reccomend this book to teens who like horror and romance stories.

I loved this book! It was interesting and unique! All of Cameron Dokey's books are original and romantic. I just wish there were more of the Mystery Date books. They're perfect books for teenage girls. They are also good for anyone interested in a different type of romance book. Anyone that hasn't read at least one of Cameron Dokey's books is really missing out!

I've been looking for all three books in this series for years and now I have all three. It's a very quick read, I finished it in a day and I can see why they printed Love Me, Love Me Not first; both of the other two books are alright, but you can see the bad guy a mile away in Blue Moon and Heart's Desire. The story for both is more or less the same. Girl sees guy suspended between life and death, he comes back and meets her, and they defeat the bad guy and end up falling in love. At least in the first book it was Death itself that fell in love with the girl.

In this book Jeannie has found an antique pendent in the shape of a lotus blossom with a red stone in it called a heart stone. The stone is called so because it is made with the maker's own blood, said to gift its owner with whatever their heart truly desired. The pendent was made by an ancient Egyptian prince named Amenheris to give to the woman he loved so they could be together forever. But instead of wishing for their love to live forever, she wished to live forever, to be forever young. Amenheris wound up being buried alive and stuck in his coffin waiting for the pendent to get back to him to be let out.

This is an amazing book that I've read over and over. It's a wonderful story acented by intrigue, mystery, and love. I recommend this book to anyone who can get their hands on it like I did.

Cameron Dokey has written excellent romantic novels. Although, this hasn't been one of her best novels. The beginning of the story was good although it lacks in the end. The story could have been excellent if she had worked more on the conflict and the characters involving in the novel. I would have liked if Cameron had to portrayed the antagonist more realistic in the novel. Yet, I think this novel is similar to the other novel she did called THE TALISMAN.

The starting was interesting enough, as well as the storyline, but the author doesn't seem to know what he wants to write about. The story is mapped out horribly, and the characters have no character. A sore disappointment. Cameron Dokey should find another job

THIS IS THE BEST BOOK EVER! CAMERON DOKEY DOES A REALLY GOOD JOB OF
