4.0 out of 5 stars Surrender to the Sheikh, May 21, 2004

DESERT PRINCE'S
English mistress

When Rose was whisked away from London to Prince Khalim's desert palace on board his private jet, he treated her more like a princess than an employee. Yet she knew she could never be his wife. An appropriate bride would be chosen and he would have to live his life of duty. But now their need for each other was so demanding-all she could do was surrender to the sheikh...

Even though this book was published 2 years ago, it is still a really good story. The author lets us into the mind and heart of both characters so the readers don't have to try to guess how they feel. Rose is a strong, independent match for the authoritative prince and her resistance only increases his desire for her.

The reason I did not give this book 5 stars is because of an editing error (a pet peeve of mine), at the very exhilarating scene near the end of the book, one of the most important scenes of the book, the main character was referred to as Sabrina instead of Rose. That plummeted my roller coaster ride.

Note: The Desert Prince's Mistress is the story of Rose' flatmate Lara which I'm just getting started on.

5.0 out of 5 stars I usually don't give Harlequin books five but ...., June 27, 2002

This was a very good book and I can't believe I waited so long to read it. I purchased this book almost a year ago from Australia and I just now decided to read it. What I loved most about this book is how Sharon Kendrick make the woman character strong and not one of those woman who lets the man walk all over her. You see that a lot in these books and it is refreshing to see different. The book is about Prince Khalim of Maraban and Rose Thomas. They meet at a wedding where Khalim is best man and Rose is a friend of the bride. Their eyes meet and it's love/lust at first sight. Khalim walks up to her and lets her know that he wants her but Rose is not so willing. Khalim has never meet a woman like Rose before. He is so use to getting his own way and having woman fall over him, which Rose will not do. It takes a while for Rose to finally give in but will there passion lead to anything? It doesn't look good because Khalim's father is dying and he is the only son. His people are pressuing him to marry a woman of Maraban and soon. This book also reminds me of another book that I loved by Michelle Reid that I believed is titled "The Mistress Bride."

4.0 out of 5 stars An Incredible Love Story, December 26, 2002

I brought this book at a Wal-Mart. Somehow I find the fantasy of being carried into the desert by a sheikh, riding into the sunset, and to be romanced at his palace very exhilarating. I really recommend this book for any romance novel reader who believes in finding romance in exotic places.
