The sheik, could have any women he desires, they flock to him like bees to honey but it's the green eyed beauty who he has no intentions of falling in love with that has his blood running hot. I bought this book from the library for 25 cents! Believe me when I tell you, I ripped them off! I would have gladly paid 25 dollars instead! This is one of the rare books that I gave A 5 star review to. I didn't even think I would have liked reading A turn of the century romance ,[1898], or A book taking place in the Arabian dessert. I am A fan of the early eighteen hundreds and I like books that takes place in England, but the author wrote this book so brilliantly that the time or place did not matter in the least! I loved both the hero and the heroine in this story. Temple was so refreshingly real. She was not the perfect demure heroine that authors seems to love writing about. She loved being the center of attention and knew just how beautiful she was. She hated when men fell in love with her too quickly. Temple needed A man whose love was hard to get. That is why Sharif was so perfect for her because She had to struggle for his love even though he thought her the most beautiful women he'd ever seen. Temple feels much the same way I do when I am reading A romance novel. As A reader I start to lose interest if the hero falls in love with the heroine too quickly because to me the excitement of the chase is over then. That is why I loved the fact that Sharif's affections did not come too easily. Which made it all the more sweeter when he fell in love with Temple. The sexual tension was extremely high between the two, and it helped to make the many love scenes scorching! There is A love scene on A horse back that will blow your mind! I am so glad I bought this book! I feel sorry for the book that I'm going to read after this one!

Nan Ryan's Burning Love is a fantastic story of adventure, risk and love, set in the Sahara desert. Not as obviously sappy as most romance novels, this one has a whopping measure of Bedouin culture and danger thrown in. If it wasn't for the stereotypical cover, I'm sure a few men might be fooled into reading it, and probably enjoying it! The characters are thoroughly realistic, and have many facets which most romances lack. The disappointment I felt when the book ended surprised me, and I didn't want to leave the characters' lives.

If you are looking for steamy love scenes, this book has it! It was a good story and I could not put it down. She is a wealthy American heartbreaker who is abducted by an wealthy Arab Sheik who was born an Englishman. He plans to use her to stop her family's munitions manufacturer from selling to the hated Turk's. He is very powerful and in control, until he falls for her. She is very stuborn and has always been in control, until she falls for him.

Excellent story! Perhaps I find it so because it's the first romance I ever read! A desert sheik finds his deepest love in the daughter of his sworn enemy! What's an honorable man to do but seek vengence - by carrying her away to his desert paradise while she's touring his country! Is she to be his love slave? Or his heart's desire?The couple overcome jealousy, evil rulers and eventually past hurts to fall madly in love. Sigh.
