Tally is a photographer and aspiring children's author. She's traveling through North Africa and was just minding her own business when she got caught in a violent attack. Abandoned by her two guides, she's snatched up by Tair, the Chief of the Desert, and carried off, barbarian style to his ten city where he informs her rather matter of factly that she is now his woman and she should fall in line as soon as possible. Fiercely independent and free spirited, this does not go over well with Tally...more

Well, it's good. Not perfect, but good.
I get the story. Tally's just a normal photographer but mistaken as a spy by Tair. Sheikh or king from Ouhamaha? Ohamana? I can't remember the name. Anyway, she's kidnapped and forced to stay in some sort of tent. After trying to escape lots of time, she realize that she couldn't go back to America. Tair, as a matter of fact, find himself intrigued by this American girl. And he make sure that she'll never go back home.

A romanticized version of Stockholm syndrome, except that in this story, the only thing related to said psychological phenomenon was the kidnapping because regardless that Tally was trying to flee, or that Tair was acting like a chauvinist, both of them knew (at least, implicitly) that they were attracted to each other even at the first time they exchanged words.

You know This reminds me of a historical romance novels with the concept of sheiks capturing the woman making her his bride...and i think this is a mini version of that ..I LOVED IT
I like sheikh Tair but Tally she is a feisty one *smiling*, i also like that most of the scenes were in the desert a good change of scenery and that she kept trying to escape and almost getting her self killed just to be rescue again by sheik Tair..
Well written book, great chemistry between the couple and it was good....more

This was my first foray into Harlequin Presents. I kind of knew what to expect after reading many reviews, so the ridiculousness of this book didn't bother me so much. What makes this a two star book for me is the fact that for as ridiculous as it is, reading it wasn't fun.
I'd definitely give this one a pass.

Took me a few days to finish and that was forcing myself to continue since I like desert romances. This was an old fashioned kidnapping. Enough said or else I may rate it a one instead.

Entertaining..not one of her best, but cute. Could have been more powerful, if she spent a little more time and creativity in getting them back together. Felt like the last 10 pages of the book were rushed and convenient.

Born in Visalia, California, I'm a small town girl at heart. I love central California's golden foothills, oak trees, and the miles of farmland. In my mind, there's nothing sweeter in the world than the heady fragrance of orange blossoms on a sultry summer night.
