Book Description

Publication Date: February 1, 2005

EVERYTHING ABOUT THE PALACE HAD ALWAYS INTRIGUED HER...

Including the incredibly handsome crown prince himself. There was no denying that Murat was a man of mystery, power and many talents. But for a husband, Daphne Snowden wanted more. Sure, future "queen" sounded lovely, but she wanted someone who saw her as more than a woman to bear the next heir to the throne. Someone who respected her. Someone who loved her.

Still, there was that niggling burning desire and unfinished business between them.... And though time had changed him, it had not erased her interest in the only man she ever loved. But obey his demands and marry him? Never!

5.0 out of 5 stars Daphne, Future Queen?, January 27, 2005

This review is from: The Sheik and the Bride Who Said No (Desert Rogues, No. 1666) (Mass Market Paperback)

Ms Mallery has outdone herself with this newest Sheik book! Crown Prince Murat thinks of himself as the know-all, be-all future King of Bahania and maybe he is but not for Daphne. Murat and Daphne do have a past they were engaged 10 years ago but she ran away. Daphne is tricked into returning to Bahania -- Murat sees her again and decides he has to have her this time. Watching (reading) Daphne and Murat discover the love they have had for each other all this time is wonderful and watching Murat learn how to treat Daphne is funny at times -- he is so alpha! This is the third in the latest trilogy of the Desert Rogue Series there are 6 earlier Special Editions -- Great books too. There a list of the sheik books at www.susanmallery.com

5.0 out of 5 stars Sparks and Tempers Fly in the Desert Sun, December 31, 2005

By 

Marilyn Shoemaker (Seattle, Washington) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Sheik and the Bride Who Said No (Desert Rogues, No. 1666) (Mass Market Paperback)

This is probably one of my favorites in Susan's Desert Rogue series. I particularly enjoyed this book because of Crown Prince Murat. It seems that this incredibly sexy Prince is so sure of himself in the business world and ruling his country but when it comes to sharing his heart or speaking of love, he cannot. This proud and sexy man is so vulnerable to his once fiancé Daphne and is determined to marry her this time. Little does he know there will be a battle of wills and sparks will fly.

This is just another entertaining Susan Mallery book and I have enjoyed reading all of her Desert Rogue series.

From The Back Cover:

Daphne Snowden is horrified when her young niece Brittany announces her intention to marry Murat, the crown prince of Bahania. Daphne accompanies Brittany on the plane and is successful in convincing the girl that a marriage to a much older man is a bad idea. So while Brittany is on her way back to the United States, Daphne remains in Bahania to explain the turn of events to Murat...the man she was engaged to ten years ago.

Time has changed Murat, and he never quite got over Daphne leaving him at the altar. When she reappears in Bahania, he refuses to allow her to leave and locks her in the palace harem. And before long Daphne discovers that an official royal engagement has been announced in the local newspapers: between her and Murat!

She is furious with Murat, but realizes in her heart that there is unfinished business between them.

This review is from: The Sheik & the Bride Who Said No (Desert Rogues) (Kindle Edition)

the story is offensive to women. for an educated woman the heroine is weak. the hero belong to the the dark ages. he thought everyone is below his regard including the heroine. he was a horrible person. he was nice to the heroine in the last pages.
