Book Description

Beloved captive…

THE SHEIK'S CAPTIVE

All aircraft designer Haley Bennett wanted was to deliver the state-of-the-art jet she'd created to its new owner in the Middle East. But then war engulfed the desert kingdom, and suddenly this freewheeling modern woman was a prisoner—in a palace that was like something from the Arabian Nights….

PRISONER OF DESIRE

Her captor was just about the most gorgeous hunk of man she'd ever laid eyes on. But his attitudes—especially when it came to women—were straight out of another world. And the most infuriating part was, Sheik Zayn Haji Haaris awakened within her a passion that rocked her world to its very foundations….

5.0 out of 5 stars Culture Clash, April 1, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: The Sheik and the Vixen (Silhouette Intimate Moments No. 755) (Paperback)

I don't know what the other reviewer is talking about. This is one of the more realistic romances based in the Middle East I have ever read. Having traveled there myself, although I am an American, I can tell you that the differences in male/female relations are very real. I wish this author would write more. The backdrop of the 1991 Gulf War is also very realistic.

1.0 out of 5 stars Ridiculous Romance, February 16, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: The Sheik and the Vixen (Silhouette Intimate Moments No. 755) (Paperback)

You will want to bury this book in the sand and hope that nobody finds it.

There were plot holes the size of Crater Lake. I have an imagination, but this one almost snapped it. Modern romance should follow some semblence of reality and I cannot buy an independent Texas girl genius falling for any guy who believes that women are subservient to men. He may be a Kuwaiti prince, but I do not see it happening. And I saw no change in the characterizations from the beginning to the end. This one was waste. Don't bother.
