The Sheik & The Virgin Princess

I been looking forward to reading this book and this series of Desert Rogues And and enjoy the story the characters are telling me too.

Another yummy sheikh

As with the other Desert Rogue books by Susan Mallery, this is a winner! She follows the same format with all her sheikh stories, but changes enough details to keep it interesting.

Temptation, love and lust in the desert sun!

In the Sheik and the Runaway Princess, you are introduced to Rafe Stryker who is in charge of security for the City of Thieves and an honorary sheik. Rafe is a "closed" man, who is strong, sexy and independent. In this story, Rafe has been assigned to the King of Bahania, King Hassen. Zara and her foster-sister Cleo have one mission and that's to find out if Zara's father is in fact the King of Bahania. So the girls travel to Bahania to do a little investigating. Upon their arrival and tour of the Pink Palace, they literally "bump" into Rafe who later finds out their reason for being at the palace. Rafe finds Zara sweet, soft and interesting. He also feels protective of her due to her vulnerability to the situation. The King puts Rafe in charge of Zara when he finds out that she is the daughter he never new existed. Is Zara ready to become a Princess? Can Rafe fight his attractions for the sweet Zara? Theirs is a love story not to be missed. The way Susan Mallery tells their story is just plain wonderful. I also enjoyed how she described the difference between the sisters, Cleo and her also new found sister, Princess Sabrina. A very enjoyable addition to Susan's Desert Rogue series. Book Summary: When prim professor Zara Paxton ventures to distant Bahania, she wants only to find the father she'd never known. But her father turns out to be King Hassan of Bahania. The desert king promptly put his "princess" under the protection of a muscular, mesmerizing Sheik, who sets Zara's sense aflame, yet he refuses to quench the fire! Steely security liaison Rafe Stryker scorns lasting love. But before he knows it, the bespectacled brunette sneaks into his heart, making him throb with the urge to taste her sweetness. Clearly, innocent Princess Zara wanted to be his woman, but taking her was tantamount to treason. Rafe knows the consequences, but even he can stand so much temptation.

Guess what!! Your a Princess!!

While on tour in the middle east a young woman finds the family she's always wanted...Only problem is, its a royal family!! Guiding the way for our newest princess is a fellow American who just happens to be a handsome Sheik with no family of his own and his only loyalty is to her royal family. The second book in Ms. Mallery's second middle eastern series this book introduces us once again to a royal family with growing pains, yet one that is rediscovering the love of man and woman and of family. Very much worth the read if you enjoy Ms. Mallery's writing, or if you just like a good story, you'll feel right at home.

A safe and simmering romance......

The Sheik and the Virgin Princess may not be all the hot and sizzingly style of Mallery that readers have grown to love, but it definately carries all the heat of her monarch romances in the continuation of The Dessert Rogues series.Princess Zara and Rafe Stryker bring their contemporary personalities to this tale of age-old classical love. As Zara struggles to find her place among her new and diverse family, she manages to fall in love with the one person who doesn't want the princess' love......Rafe. Who is secretly fighting a losing battle to wrap the innocent temptress in his arms, and show her what all the fuss about making love is about.The Sheik and The Virgin Princess, is a safe and soothing read, with tons of lovable characters that you'll definately hope to see more of.
