5.0 out of 5 stars Another terrific read from a very talented author!, August 28, 2002

This review is from: The Sheikh's Wife (Surrender To The Sheikh) (Harlequin Presents) (Paperback)

Jane Porter is an author with amazing talent and THE SHEIKH'S WIFE is just another testament to this fact. Full of riveting emotions and page-turning, bone-melting passion, readers will not soon forget such a wonderful story.

THE SHEIKH'S WIFE takes the drama of romance, arresting characterization, and sizzling sexual tension to new heights for this sub-genre. Ms. Porter's writing style is crystal clear and smooth as silk. The plot was intriguing and certainly full of twists which can leave the reader guessing... and feeling pleasantly surprised too.

For those who enjoy stories about alpha males, this book will force you to put life on hold until you've reached the very last page... and then you'll want to start reading it all over again. It's that good! Don't miss it.

This review is from: The Sheikh's Wife (Surrender To The Sheikh) (Harlequin Presents) (Paperback)

One week before her wedding, heroine is stunned when told by sheikh Hero that they're still married. Hero becomes stunned himself when he finds out that they have a son together. He whisked her off to his Middle East kingdom with intent of keeping their son with him, whether she stays with him or not. Heroine chooses to stay for her son's sake & b/c she still loves Hero. The reappearance of Hero's cousin makes her wonder if Hero will change his mind about staying married to her once his cousin spreads his lies about their past r/s.

This Porter book was emotionally-involving & had good sexual tension & sex scenes. But it had a faulty romance & faulty characters. Their romance was flawed mostly b/c Hero & heroine gave Hero's cousin a lot of power over their r/s. They believed what he said without discussing them with each other. Instead of confronting each other, Hero chooses to be mad & hurt by heroine and heroine chooses to runaway. Their reactions both highlight their pride, emotional immaturity, & preferences to avoid & deny. As in love as they were supposed to be with each other, Hero doesn't go after heroine & heroine soon finds another man to depend on. Even at the end, neither of them openly discuss how Hero' cousin almost raped her. They still chose to avoid. Heroine was a good, protective mother to her son. But, when it came to men, she was needy, attention-seeking, & spoiled.

Minimal recommendation.
