12:52 pm in AUS, Harlequin Presents Extra, M&B Modern Romance, M&B Sexy, March 2012, October 2011, Reviews, September 2011, UK, USA by Donna Zapf

Cassie could not believe that she had been kidnapped and forced to become a love slave in the wilds of the desert bordering Tarakhar.  She left Australia to volunteer to teach English to the locals but on the way to her assignment she was attacked and ultimately presented as a gift to the Sheikh of Tarakhar.  Cassie was unable to fight off her attackers but she is determined to free herself even as memories of the past weaken her.

After hours of patient negotiations with the neighboring tribal leaders, Sheikh Amir of Tarakhar makes his way to his tent only to be met with a furious beauty bent on killing him.  Amir easily disarms Cassie and calms her long enough to hear her harrowing story of abduction.  Caught between the necessity for negotiations and keeping Cassie safe, Amir shoulders both responsibilities even as his attraction for Cassie smolders.

Alluringly exotic, GIRL IN THE BEDOUIN TENT by best-selling author Annie West beguiles readers with its sumptuous love story, compelling characters and dream-worthy plot.  Annie West is quickly becoming the Queen of Desert Sheikh Romance, with her charismatically handsome heroes that are able to seduce even the coolest heroines and her  opulent settings straight from the Arabian Nights.  GIRL IN THE BEDOUIN TENT is pure escapism, making readers wonder and definitely envy the possible research done for this sensuous book.

Willingly Bedded, Forcibly Wedded by Melanie Milburne

book coverJasper Caulfield may be a billionaire but when he hears the terms of his father’s, that he marries Hayley Addington, he is livid but knows that if he doesn’t comply he stands to lose everything he wants. Hayley knows that Jasper isn’t going to like the terms of the will but she has no option but to agree to marry Jasper after he blackmails her. But what these two hadn’t counted on was the simmering desire that lies just beneath the surface. Will it be enough for them to build a marriage of love? Or is it just wishful thinking?

What started as a marriage of convenience ends up becoming one full of love and dedication. It took me a while to get to like Jasper, only because he saw his enforced marriage as spite on his father’s behalf and in some ways blamed Hayley for his troubles. I loved Hayley though, she was tough and determined, and when she realized that she was in love with Jasper, but he had only married her for his inheritance, I felt sorry for her. It also didn’t help that there were secrets hampering their lives too. Melanie Milburne is a talented author and I love reading her books because every one is different. Her heroes are men you love to hate until they discover what love means and her heroines are women that know the men they fall in love with will love them unconditionally, when they finally discover the true meaning of love.
