Desert Eden

"Heavy hearts, heavy eyelids," said the master of the caravan. "Huh?" Heather looked up in dismay, shocked to find she'd nearly been left behind as the caravan prepared to move on. Her last night's sleep had been fitful, full of dreams where Khalid made her suffer for running away. Now she felt drained and groggy, unable to get the images of Khalid spanking her over his knee and then ravishing her out of her tired head. "Look," the caravan master said. "Riders approaching, a great armed party. No doubt they are searching for escaped slaves." "No doubt." Heather straightened up wearily in the saddle, determined to outwit Khalid and conceal her true identity as a runaway. The one thing she was sure of was that capture would bring a fate worse than death. Already she could imagine Khalid tying her up, spanking her bottom, making her howl for mercy until she had no pride or will to resist. And then would come the true test of her virtue . . .

this sory takes you to a distant place, where you can find out what life was like. It showed how love trumiphs over everything and everyone. This book is the best one that Patricia Grasso ever wrote in this series. It never stopped. Once you read the first couple of pages you can never ever stop

This book hooked me from the beginning right through to the end. The plot was fast moving but very much character driven and I really enjoyed the fact that it didn't get bogged down in mundane day to day details. I am ashamed to say that I had heard of Patricia Grasso but had never read any of her books (I read between 10-12 books a week)This is a sweet story, classic fiery redhead clashes with autocratic powerful male. I found it a very satisfying read somewhat similar in style to Johanna Lindsey. Don't expect a masterpiece of literature but involve yourself in an engagingly written story and get involved in the fantasy !

Patricia Grasso did a marvelous job with this book. The book lures you in and is filled with wonderful dialouge between the characters. This is a sweet, REAL romance...not one of those too- boring-between-the-sex-scenes novels. I've read it 7 times..you really fall in love with the characters and don't want the story to end!
