Intense

This story is a sequel to the most violent Catherine Coulter book ever. Devil's daughter Arabella is the daughter of the Earl of Clare, who years ago kidnapped and raped her mother because he was infatuated with her. Her mother eventually fell in love with her father and gave him two children, one of them Arabella their rebelleous daughter. This is Arabella's story. She is kidnapped by a former rival of her mother's and sold into a harem in an Arab kingdom. Her master is half Arabic/Italian and quickly finds out Arabella will not be submissive. This book has some very brutal violence as well, but the chemistry between the two characters is so intense, that the hero will give up all others for her. She is eventually freed but still chooses to stay with him.

Almost as good as Devil's Embrace - but still a 5!

The first thing that totally grabbed me was the realization that the oh so compelling Earl of Clare was 60 years old in this book. Somehow you want your favorite characters to be ageless - He still seemed a compelling character and no, I know the book was not about his and Casandra this time but you want them to be blissfully happy! Well they certainly bred a couple of interesting children - and how the present manages to repete the past - that Adam would end up with Edward's daughter (who seems nothing like her father) and that Arabella would find love with the women's son most hated from the first book. I too - because I loved this family so much could have had seperate books for both Adam and Arabella - however since the plot works so well and it all is so interesting and intriguing I will not fault Coulter's combining the stories. You just have to love the way Adam and Rayna find one another - but most especially the love between Arabella and Kamal - wow that just sizzled!!!!! And his shame at the end because of his horrible mother was so understandable for a proud man. And the Earl's little manipulation for his daughter - how unlike him to help things along! What a great father! This was just a beautiful story - I loved every moment of it!!

The Devil's Daughter stays with you for years!

I read this as a teenager in the 1980's and looked for it forever it seems (my dumb brother forgot to pack it or something!) I finally found the name when I emailed Ms. Coulter and she told me what it was called! I was so ecstatic I bought both the old version and the new one! Ms Coulter is a great writer and the characters in this book really stand out! The leading lady and the sultan are like oil and water on fire at first! Then the sparks really fly! YOU MUST read this if you're a Coulter fan or like a good book that gives you enough fun and sensuality and laughter to keep you turning the pages til the end! I have several of her books and I love them all!
