It was an adrenaline rush to write every word, from the moment Harres burst in to save Talia, to every moment of their journey back to safety as peril and passion rose to unmanageable levels. Not one taking place in Zohayd’s palaces among luxury and man-made grandeur, with the only threats being the insidious royal conspiracies and political intrigue, but one out there in the desert, where nature is the ultimate enchantment and enemy, and where constant danger to the hero’s and heroine’s lives and hearts is omnipresent. I can’t tell you how I much I loved writing Harres and Talia’s story. Now that he’d told her who he was, nothing could ever be the same. Now it would end, the spontaneity of the attraction that had exploded into life between them. Harres nodded, already acutely sorry that he’d told her. Then she finally rasped, “You’re an Aal Shalaan?” He stared down at her, all his being rioting, needing her back against him, her lips crushed beneath his, her heat enveloping his suddenly chilled body. “I Don’t Know Your Name… Let Alone What It Means…” You gotta read this to find out all the wonderful twists in this book, from the first one.till the last.“Not Fair…” She Moaned Into His Lips. The heroine Talia thinks the hero's family is responsible for her twin's imprisonment and the hero Harres remains the real desert knight that he is throughout, powerful, honorable and in bed.just wow. more and so much fun in the verbal battles of the hero and heroines. it's got action and adventure and danger. it's also got so much beside an explosive love story.

Review 2: To Tempt a Sheikh is the first *real* desert romance I've read, in that it's actually in the desert, in its scary magnificence.

Now THIS is a true desert romance! And have I already said how much I love that the heroine, inspite of the hero being this force of nature, is his equal? So rare to find strong yet still feminine women in romance nowadays! I loved it from start to finish and can't wait for the grand finale, with Amjad's book in To Touch A Sheikh! Review 1: Wow! This was all I could think of while I was reading this fabulous, witty, passionate adventure starring prince Sheikh Harres Aal Shalaan and his heroine and equal trauma surgeon Dr.
