Held captive in a Bedouin camp, Susannah Sutcliffe was bid to dress in scandalous silks and dance for the sheikh's guests. The request wasn't new to Susannah--but the presence of English diplomat Alex Grayfield was a shock she had not anticipated!

Handsome and charming, Alex exuded a powerful masculinity that Susannah found irresistible...and he was unmistakably aroused by her sensual dance. Soon, Susannah had a plan to escape her desert captors: convince Alex to rescue her--by seducing him....

I really enjoyed this book. I hadn't realized it was a novella so when the book started with a bang, I wondered where the author would take us having given us our dessert first. I love historical romance and what drew me to this particular book is that it takes place in an arab country. Being that the arab culture is so different from the London culture of the time, I was keenly interested in how this story would read.

I was not disappointed. The author did an incredible job painting the world for us. I loved how she wrote Alex and Susannah's story. Alex was the kind of hero you want in your life. He was charming and witty, a man who knows how to treat a woman in and out of bed, and a protector above all. Susannah was sexy and smart, but it was her strength that I loved most. Overcoming what she did without it warping her was an absolute triumph.

Alex and Susannah were perfect for each other. Reading about their romance was a real treat. If you like historical romance, I highly recommend this book.

This was included in a bumper pack of e-books I dowloaded. The name stood out as I currently live in Arabia, and when I uploaded it onto my kindle, I saw it was a short read, so I thought it would be a break from the longer novels I've also got on the go at the moment. Turned out it was a harlequin romance, which I would never have picked up if I saw the cover!

No story, two-dimensional characters, predictable to the max! Need I continue? Actually I do, as I found the authors lack of insight into Bedouin cluture to be offensive and racist. I understand there is a market for romance novels, and I applaud an author who can do it well, but this is beyond the pale - it's offensive, unresearched, badly written drivel! Who actually spends money on this crap?! I feel bad enough for reading it, but at least it was free!

I did not like the hero’s attitude in Arabian Nights with a Rake so I did not finish reading the short story.
