Second Time Was Not A Charm.......,
By
This review is from: The Sheikh's Unwilling Wife (Harlequin Presents) (Mass Market Paperback)
This is the second book in the Desert Princes series by Ms. Kendrick, it was highly anticipated by "moi" because I enjoyed the first book about Xavier and Laura....and that's all I can conclude that was good about this book. I absolutely could not stand Gio who was Xavier's brother in this book. From the first chapter he was arrogant, unbarable and just plan arachic and those are his most decent qualities. Alexa well lets just say in my opinion she has set the womens movement back a good century...she was a whimp and it showed. I mean there is being in love with someone yes that is understandable....but I kept trying to figure out where her self-respect and self esteem went...some where in her shoes perhaps. Alexa left Gio because he thought her a slut and worse because she wasn't this sainted virgin that he believed he was entitled to marry...spare me!!!!! and for this she was verbally abused and made to feel like she was less than nothing....mind you she never lied to him saying that she was a virigin. His own assumption had him thinking that and he became sorely disappointed on their wedding night....From this point on Alexa " is made to suffer" because god forbid she slept with someone else before knowning the Magnamus Gio......This book mad me sorry angry I got through it by the skin of my teeth...only because I wanted to be caught up when I read the third and final installment of this book, If I could have gotten away with not reading it I would have

Not my style: the jerk & the helpless heroine,
By
This review is from: The Sheikh's Unwilling Wife (Harlequin Presents) (Mass Market Paperback)
To be fair, I'll start with the pros:
I liked the writing a lot. Especially the first chapter, it really hooks you into the story. The story is tight, lots of dialogue and little wasted paper. There is just enough details to make it interesting but not bore you. The reason I didn't give more stars is because I realize I no longer like these tear jerkers, in a English style, where the heroine is SUFFERING and HELPLESS. Of course, she's beautiful and proud, but so poor, trying to raise her son alone instead of living with abuse... And, yes, the 'hero' is abusive emotionally, there's no other way around it. But, he's handsome, rich, and she's deeply in love with him. I have no idea why since all he does is call her a slut and have loveless sex with her... This is an exaggerated drama, which I'm sure some people adore.
