Hull’s romance classic. A haughty young heiress for whom the world is a playground… A savage son of the Sahara who knows no law but his own… When pride and passion vie for supremacy... Blistering desert days are nothing compared to sizzling Sahara nights… REVIEW: Never read the original, but after reading this I just might. Diana was definitely a woman, who knew what she wanted and how to take care of herself in a man’s world and knew how to cope and survive in a foreign land, and in the hands of a foreign man, with whom she had an exciting adventure with. She even became quite close with the fellow. You rooted for a happy ending to her story and you tried to figure out who’d benefit from having her disappear completely. It was very good and if there’s a sequel to the adventure that takes place a few years later, would definitely like to read about it. So if you get a chance to read it, read it. You’ll enjoy it. | Reviewer: Cassandra Graham | Tory Richards Contemporary Erotic Heat Rating: 5 REVIEW: Where do I begin? This book is very erotic and too hot for words. I needed a tall glass of ice water to cool off and this was by page seven. Bishop and Angel meet while Angel is housesitting for Bishop’s sister. Thinking that it is a break-in robbery, she calls the police and discovers that it is Bishop a man she has lusted after based on his picture and stories told to her by his sister. After the misunderstanding with the police, they grew an instant attraction to each other, and they have such a sexual attraction to each other that I was blushing. This is a typical story of girl meets boy, they are attracted to each other, but one feels that his line of work should keep him from attaching a commitment to another person. The story was short, but gets to the point quickly and I was torn between taking Angel’s side that Bishop should take a chance and that nothing in this life is guaranteed and Bishop wanting to keep his life as a SEAL separate and not attaching himself to another person with feelings and emotions. It was a somewhat intense and endearing story with some deep erotic and sexual overtones. It is short, but I would highly recommend it and would love to see if the author continues this story. | Reviewer: Anita Rivers | December2013 | 53
