FIRST SENTENCE: Someone, please help me.
SUMMARY: [From barnesandnoble.com] Abused and made a concubine by the evil Sheikh Faruq, Badra finds redemption and love in the strong arms of an English duke's last grandson.
REASON FOR READING: It was staring at me.
THOUGHTS: I want Vanak to write more books. I have not read something by her for over a year, and now I want more. This book continues the tales surrounding a bedouin tribe in Egypt. Vanak continues to throw great characters and their romances together. What I found most enjoyable about this book is that it showed the recovery from sexual abuse in what I took to be a very realistic way.
The chemistry between the two main characters was so palpable that I found myself panting. Vanak has skill, great great skill.
The one downside to this book: it was not long enough. It also fizzled out a little bit at the end, but not enough for me to care.
MISCELLANEOUS: More!
