More About the Author

I live in New England now but I was born in New York City and lived in or near the city most of my life. It's where I met my husband--I was fifteen and a senior in high school! He was at both my high school and college graduations. We have a lot of shared, wonderful history.

After we married, I taught elementary school for a while. Then I settled into being a wife and mother but the desire to write was always there. I'd written short stories when I was little--the first, which I illustrated myself, I wrote when I was seven! I never really stopped writing and one day I looked in the mirror and said, "Okay, Sandra, you've always wanted to be a published writer. Maybe it's time you did something about it."

I'd always been interested in the complex ways in which men and women relate to each so it seemed natural to start writing romance fiction. I wrote short stories and sold several of them. Finally, I took a deep breath, sat down and wrote my very first novel. To my amazement and joy, Harlequin Presents bought it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another Five star!, June 24, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Mistress of the Sheikh (Paperback)

Nicholas al Rashid finds a beautiful woman in his bedroom and is quick to assume she's spying on him. He refuses to believe she is there as an interior designer but the one thing he can't refuse is the pull of attraction he feels toward this woman! This book in the Barrons series is another must read! Its a fast paced read with very sensual and intense scenes. I definitely recommend!

This story was awesome! Nick is the handsome prince who falls head of heals for Amanda a no nonsense NYC girl. I love the ladies of Sandra Marton because they actually have a back bone. But this book was very romantic and I loved it, loved it. Will save it in my kindle forever and read it again. I recommend this book highly.

This review is from: Mistress of the Sheikh (Hardcover)

I cannot believe I even finished this book. Up until Chapter 5 or so, I hated Nick. He was arrogant, mean, violent, and cruel. Then he got a little better - until just before the end. He believed Amanda, the woman he loved, had betrayed him. So he became arrogant, mean, violent, and cruel - again! He wouldn't even let her try to defend herself. Then he found out that he was wrong, tracked her down, pretty much kidnapped her, and she took him back without much of a struggle. Yuck - get a spine, woman!
