When pride and
passion vie for supremacy...
Blistering
desert days are nothing compared to sizzling Sahara nights…
EXCERPT:
"Look at me."
I shivered, my downcast gaze
wavering only briefly before defying him again.
"Look at me." An
inflection had crept into his low tone that was unmistakably commanding.
I lifted my gaze with great
reluctance and met his in the mirror. Though I wanted to, I could not look away
from his handsome sun-bronzed face with those inscrutable eyes. They were not
black as I had thought, but the deepest indigo blue. Dark and intense, they
burned into me. I was fascinated. Mesmerized.
He swung me around to him,
taking my chin in hand and tilting it upward. "Bon Dieu! Do you know how beautiful you are?" His gaze dropped
to my clothing, and his eyes became fierce again, his stern mouth parting in a
cruel show of teeth. "Perhaps you are unaware that Zilah shall be severely
punished for your foolish rebellion?"
"No!" I cried,
straining back as far as his grip allowed. "It wasn't her fault. I sent
her away."
"You sent her away
before my wishes were carried out?"
"Will you kill her too?
Like you did the horse?" I accused. "If you kill everything that does
not obey you, you might as well shoot me now!"
"I will deal with the
girl as it suits me." His glower had broken, replaced by a mixture of mild
anger and patent amusement. "As to you, ma belle, it appears I must be your valet, as well as your
lover."
"Lover?" I gave a
contemptuous laugh. "Is that how you perceive
yourself?"
He
lifted a brow above his fathomless eyes. "You question my prowess?"
I
remained stoically defiant, letting my silence speak.
His
black brows met in a thunderous scowl. "There are many things you must
learn, ma chère. Of utmost import to
your well-being is that, save only for Allah, there is no will in this camp
above my own." He continued impassively, "I could have you now, you
know. In this very moment, I could tear your clothes, throw you down on that
bed, and take you any way and as many times as I wish." He paused, smiling
at the flare of fear in my eyes. "Fortunately for you, that is not my wish…at present."
He
stroked the pad of his thumb over my lips. His expression grew almost
whimsical. "Shall I make you care, cherie?
Shall I make it your deepest desire, your only
desire, to please me? I can make any woman love me when I choose."
He
was amusing himself at my expense. He did not care if I hated or loved him, but
was only enjoying a new form of torture, one that was even more detestable than
anything that had gone before it. The mere suggestion that I could ever care
for him, that I would ever look on him as anything but a brutal savage,
infuriated me. I felt degraded and soiled that he would class me with the other
women he spoke of. "I would rather you killed me," I replied coldly.
"So would I." He
chuckled drily. "If you loved me, you would bore me to death.
REVIEW!!!!! ****
By the end of the book you are thrown into a lot of craziness. But it’s all the craziness that you can’t seem to get enough of. I was so scared for Diana at one point and hoped that her hero would come to the rescue. I’m not telling you if he did or not, but trust me you’ll want to read and find out. The ending was just PERFECT. I was so worried at first but then it took a turn for the absolute best. This is definitely an amazing story that everyone should experience.

I absolutely loved this book. If you love a book that is
adventurous, romantic, and passionate then this is the book for you. I was
instantly drawn into the story. I wanted to know what had happened to this poor
woman and how she had gotten to where she was when the story begins.
Diana is an amazing character. She’s full of adventure,
strong, confident, and has a really wonderful heart that just needs to be
brought to the surface. I loved that she didn’t take anything from anyone. She
was always taking up for herself and letting others know that she would do what
made her happy. She wanted to fulfill her dreams and she was going to do it no
matter what.
Then you have the Sheik. I absolutely LOVED him. He just
made you love him, you couldn’t help it. He is strong, caring, passionate,
brave and dominant. Everything you want in the man of your dreams. I couldn’t
help but want him to get what he wanted because he was just that wonderful.
Diana and the Sheiks relationship is like nothing else. I
loved that even though it started out as something Diana didn’t want, it
eventually turned into everything she had ever dreamed of. He taught her things
that no one else ever had. He taught her to open her heart, to care more and to
love him. I was so into this book!
