I was privy to get an early copy from Ms. Jackson's store and all of us fans who'd been waiting for Delaney's Desert Shiek to be reprinted, along with the much anticipated story of Shiek Rasheed Valdemon, you'll definitely want to add to your collection. Shiek Rasheed and Princess Johari will take you on a pleasure ride from New York to Brazil as "Monty & Jo" get to know each other before their promised marriage. Although Jo is unaware that it is her intended that is pursuing her when she rebels and escapes from her bodyguard, you'll see her transform from a naive spoiled brat (that angered me by taking risks) to a mature woman by the end of the story that will leave you sighing. I really enjoyed both stories. Great job Ms. Jackosn!

ALL I can say is put me on the next plane to Tahran and/or Mowaiti...I'm off to find me a Sheikh of my own...LOL...Mrs. Jackson has done it AGAIN...I was TOTALLY wrapped up in the PLEASURE of Monty & Jo's INTENSELY PASSIONATE mutual attraction...and if you have NEVER read Delaney's Desert Sheikh then you are in for two HOT & SPICY delightful treats...WARNING: Have man or ICE WATER at hand ;-)

I am too very happy that the Delany story is re-issue in this book, but love the second story which connects the Westmoreland's with the Madaris' storyline.

Two very sexy story.

Oh my, this is definitely how I love my men intelligent, good looking and knowing in the bedroom. In Delaney's Desert Sheik Jamal definitely had to learn how to deal with a feisty woman. I loved that aspect as I get tired of a woman swooning at a man's feet. In Seduced by a Stranger I definitely saw that it is a mistake to make assumptions . Jo made the mistake in thinking what use is an old man. Thirty nine is not old as "Monty proved. He certainly had a lot of stamina. Monty had a lot to learn also, you would think that after hanging out with the Madaris family he would understand that there could be passion as well as love in a marriage. No not Monty he had to be hit with it like a brick up side the head. I admired Jo for going after what she wanted even knowing the consequences. You guessed it I loved reading this book.

THANK YOU MZ. JACKSON FOR REISSUING THE WESTMORELAND SERIES AS A FAN THIS GIVES ME A CHANCE TO READ THE ONE'S I DON'T HAVE. I REALLY ENJOYED WRAPPED IN PLEASURE AND I CAN'T WAIT FOR RAVISHED BY DESIRE, AND YOUR OTHER NOVELS CONCERNING THE WESTMORELANDS, THE MADARISES, THE STEELES, AND THE BACHELORS IN DEMAND. EVERYONE SHOULD READ THIS BOOK YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO PUT IT DOWN; ALSO, YOU'LL WANT TO READ IT AGAIN AND AGAIN.

5 STAR

Deleany's story that book never gets old to me I always loved the coming together of both characters, very engaging story the way the characters develop throughout the book. I also have to say the interdiction of Thorn in the book soooooooooooooo sexy hehehe as well as her brothers make for a good book and start to a wonderful series.

Seduced by a stranger, now I love this book but not the paste of it certain parts were ok to me but still a wonderful read. I have read Deleaby's story so long ago I forgot who Johari was but after re reading Deleany's story it refresh my memory.

This is my first time reading Brenda Jackson's novels, and OMG, it was awesome. Both stories!!!!

The love scenes were written as if you were there! They were steamy, hot, and had ME on fire!!! Okay, that's too much information. So back to the review. The first story, Delaney's Desert Sheihk started off a little slow, but boy did it pick up toward the middle and end. It was a page turner, and unpredictable. I'm glad Jamal made the right choice.

Seduced by a Stranger was HAWT, HAWT, as well. It was similiar to the first story but with a bit of a different twist. Totally unpredicitable, page turner, with nice sexual scenes!!

Readers you got to go out and get the book, trust, you won't be disappointed!

WOW!! I am truly impressed with Delaney and Johari. I loved this. It made it so much easier to get back into the Westmoreland family. I love the combination of new/classic, and the play on families. It was really inspiring for Brenda to bring the Westmorelands of Atlanta, and the Madarises of Texas together. I never thought of her doing that but it turned out wonderful. Love Brenda, avid collector of her series.

In "Delaney's Desert Sheikh", Delaney Westmoreland is looking forward to her vacation, but when she arrives at her vacation cottage, she learns there is another occupant. He is handsome and seductive,Sheikh Jamal Ari Yasir. Once the Sheikh meets Delaney he accepts they will have to share their vacation destination. Immediately he plan's to seduce her. However, if his plan backfires will he be able to accept leaving her when their time together comes to an end? Will he decide to keep Delaney in his arms permanently?

In "Seduced by a Stranger", Johari Yasir thinks she has successfully eluded her protective family for two weeks of freedom before she's due in her home country to marry a man she's never met or seen. While out dancing, she meets a man who she's instantly attracted to and accepts his invitation for adventure and fun. Sheikh Rasheed Valdemon has just located his fiancé and can't believe she has just accepted his invitation when she believes he's a stranger. He plans to teach her a lesson on the proper etiquette of being his wife; however, he learns a lesson instead.

Brenda Jackson's WRAPPED IN PLEASURE contains two stories, "Delaney's Desert Sheikh" and "Seduced by a Stranger" in one book. The passionate stories were sexy and suave. I especially enjoyed how Ms. Jackson united characters from her popular Madaris and Westmoreland family sagas in "Seduced by a Stranger".

A pleasure to read. Unable to put it down. Delaney and her Sheikh are made for each other. She picked a man who could stand toe to toe with her and her brothers. A muust read for any Brenda Jackson fan. An over and over read.
