by Nalini Singh
2.5 starsThis didn't work for me. It was tedious and needlessly drawn out. The conflict wasn't engaging, the made up desert kingdom wasn't convincing, and I had to force myself to finish. I've had my fill of alphahole sheikhs for a while.
Davvero una Bella favola..... Mi ci voleva
1/5; 1 star; DNFOh my god, do NOT read this book and think you're seeing a good example of Nalini Singh's writing style. Read the Psy/Changeling series and pretend you never saw this book. Asshat's and twinks abound. Enough said.
I hate to give a low score to a Nalini Singh book but I really wasn’t a huge fan of either the hero or the heroine in this one. Jasmine is only 18 when she meets and falls in love with Tariq, son of the sheikh of a desert kingdom. Young and insecure, her family convinces her to leave Tariq and end t...
3.5 starsOk, this had quite a few problems and carried a load a cliches usually found in harlequins. Despite that, I really enjoyed it and became involved in the heroes' drama. It was an angsty, emotional story of two people who had fallen in love four years ago, but the heroine, 18 at the time, ref...
I hope to write a full review soon, but have to crack the whip on the review queue a bit first.Typical category romance, with plenty of Big Misunderstandings, a Big Secret (that really doesn't seem like it should be that big of a deal), a heroine who just can't control her hormones around the hero, ...
Nothing to write home about, but still better than your average HP fare. The sheiks are usually tricky to write, one either nails it or doesn’t and Ms. Singh did it. It’s obvious this was written earlier in her career (she’s improved with her Psy/Changeling series), and it’s an obviously template Ha...
The most interesting part of this book was the leading lady's secret. I stuck with it to find out what it was...and then I found out and it was nothing. The build up to the reveal and the reveal itself was anticlimactic.I love Singh, though. I forgive her.
This was a powerful book wrapped in a short package. I thought the emotional connection between the characters was riveting, and it grabbed you on the first page of the book. The story doesn't reinvent the wheel. It's very much in the vein of Harlequin Presents with the heroine who ran away from th...
DESERT WARRIOR was too many romantic tropes for me to handle. The story either needed to be complete fantasy or none, the non-Muslim sheik from a insular but woman-friendly middle Eastern country was just too much for me to stomach. The interaction between Jasmine and Tariq was also a lukewarm mes...
