Silhouette Intimate Moments #578: Desert Man

Josie McCall seems like a beautiful intelligent woman, but she is not perfect. Josie has one prejudice-Middle Eastern Men. She lumps them all together as chauvinistic and believes that they treat their women as second-class citizens. Josie is highly upset that her best friend Jenny and Jenny's soon to be husband Mike would have Prince Kumar Ben Ari as their best man. Josie was sure that Jenny learned her lesson about trusting middle eastern men during her first marriage. Jenny's first husband abused her and kidnaped their son. Jenny assures Josie that Kumar is a man of honor, and he played an important role in helping her get her son back. Josie still refuses to believe that Kumar is a decent person.Kumar does not understand Josie at all. He is highly attracted to her and he usually has women throwing themselves at him. Kumar decides to take things into his own hands and goes behind Josie's back to get the U.S. government to send Josie to Kumar's country as an International Health representative. Kumar strongly believes that he can turn Josie's attitude around about him and his country, if she would just give him a chance. Josie is ticked off that Kumar did this, but she knows that she cannot refuse. Now Josie is in Kamar's country and sparks fly both literally and figuratively. I was not sure if I would enjoy this story, but it was really good. It kept me interested from beginning to end. I wish there was an epilogue at the end to get a glimpse of what the future would have been like for Josie and Kamar. This was my first book by this author, but it will not be my last.
