Back Cover Book Summary:

Emma Kennedy is working as a nurse in Dallas when two men await her at her apartment one day to inform her that the king of Bahania has requested that she travel to his country. At first she is puzzled, but when she realizes that his son, Prince Reyhan, is behind the reason, she literally faints when she sees him again after six years.

During their college days, the two married in a ceremony in the Caribbean. But had it been a real ceremony? Emma always thought it had been for "pretend", especially when he abruptly left her soon after their honeymoon. But the marriage is real, and the two are still very much husband and wife. Upon discovering this secret, the king orders Reyhan to spend two weeks with his wife before he is willing to grant a royal annulment so that his son can follow through with his wish to have an arranged marriage.

The two have no choice but get reacquainted with each other...and isn't the paradise of Bahania the perfect place to fall in love all over again?

"I'M WHAT...?"

No, not pregnant, thank heavens. Emma would have known that. But married? Well, if the man standing before her - the very love of her college life - was to be believed, she was. And suddenly he was claiming to be a desert prince, too. Sure, they'd had a 'pretend' ceremony and honeymoon in the Caribbean. But it was pretend, wasn't it?

Prince Reyhan claimed his father, the king, had decided it was time for him to marry. There was just one little glitch - Reyhan was already married. So, the king ordered Reyhan's wife - Emma - to a two-week trip to paradise before he would grant a royal annulment. But wasn't paradise the perfect place for love?

7th in the Desert Rogues series

Emma Kennedy returns home to find men from the State Department in her apartment with an invitation from the King of Bahania to spend two weeks in his country where Emma learns that the guy she met during college was in fact Prince Reyhan and that they were married and had been for six years. Reyhan had to 'fess up to the marriage when his father started hinting that he marries.
The King has decided to meet Emma and after the two weeks he'll grant them a divorce. Reyhan can't wait for the two weeks to go by so he won't have to admitt that he loves Emma.
For six years Emma had no idea she was married she though the 'ceremony' was fake.
I gave it three stars because I liked the idea of not knowing she was married to a prince for six years and how the King's obviously trying to play the matchmaker.
It was fustrating how her parents had known she was married and decided not to tell her because they didn't think she was old enough. Her parents were so irritating that you kept waiting for Emma to rip into them for making decisions for her that they had no right to do. They claimed they weren't sure whether the marriage license Emma showed them was real or not. Her parents were so irritating that you just wanted to strangle them. Just when you thought Emma was finally going to stand up to them it fizzled away. Which I thought was a blot against her own charactor. I kept waiting for her backbone to grow in which never happened.
Reyhan was irritating on his high horse not wanting to be weak
because he loved Emma but was (like her parents) trying to make all the decisions for her that you keep waiting for her to stand up to him but once again fizzled.
Since I didn't read the books before this it I was a little out of the loop with the other charactors. The supposely bad dudes didn't come off being as terrifying as they should of. I would of liked the kidnapping to of last a little longer so that it would of added to Reyhan's worry and fear for the woman he loved leading to him to realize he loves her and can't live without her.
I also would of liked that when he's wounded and it just him and Emma to of lasted longer to add more to the reconcilation and romance.

i had read all the previous books beforoe this one and i have yet to be dissapointed now i am getting ready to look for the next book in this series
