Prisoner Of The Harem
The women screamed in helpless terror... Men leaped out of the bushes. Steel glinted in the darkness. Scimitars clashed. A cruel face, topped by a turban, loomed before Felicity. She struggled helplessly against the grip of powerful hands. Suddenly her strength was gone. She could fight no longer. Her cloak was torn away and pressed hard over her face, stifling her cries, suffocating her. Her last thought, before blackness engulfed her, was of her beloved Andre... and his betrayal!...

Well-described locale, but lacking in plot. Things started to pick up in the last couple chapters, but I prefer harem stories with more oomph & WTF. This one was so sedate. There was no bite, no feeling of genuine peril (though the bathing rooms sounded divine ;)).
That said, the biggest problems were Felicity & Rosanna. Felicity was a doormat -- I wanted to slap her with a dead fish. And Rosanna was a whiny shrew who received no comeuppance. Everything was hideous, evil, unchristian, abusive, blah blah blah, while Felicity coddled her & sacrificed for her & treated her like glass. It became even more obnoxious when everyone else -- & I do mean EVERYONE -- commented on Rosanna not deserving Felicity's gentleness, but of course she continued to be Miss Forgiving Mary Sue beyond all reasonable boundaries. By the end I hated both of them equally, just for different reasons. >:P
I'm willing to try this author again, but hopefully Felicity-esque doormats aren't her standard heroine of choice.

Not my favourite setting i'm afraid. The plot was a bit weak in my opinion. It became a little more interesting towards the end. A bit of a disappointment really.

Delightful bit of brain candy, perfect for a couple of rainy afternoons.
