I Love Rogues

I thought this was a great book. I enjoyed it very much. Bertrice Small is my favorite author so anything by her is fine with me. I wish other romance writers were as acurate with history and details as she is. Keeps you coming back for more!

"Zuleika and the Barbarian" by Bertrice Small. Princess Zuleika of Dariyabar spent her life expecting to wed her cousin Haroun, but he coldly informs her that since he no longer needs her as he will be the next sultan with her brothers dead, she will be given to the barbarian at the gates. Not even a wish with a genie could help the embattled Zuleika. Still rather than wait to become Amir Khan's gift, Zuleika offers the barbarian a sensual deal to save her people from his horde and her cousin's ruthlessness."All the Secret Pleasures" by Thea Devine. Though their respective fathers wanted them married, Lady Corinna rejected her neighbor Simon Charlesworth to wed an older earl because his rank and wealth were at the level she expected of a spouse. By 1820 Corinna is a widow when she meets Simon for the first time in years, but this time he plans to get his beloved in his bed forever."The Bedroom is Mine" by Jane Bonander. In 1880 Twin Hearts, California logging mogul Ross Benedict bets that he will never shave his beard off for a woman. His sister Sam arranges for homeless cook Lily Sawyer to stay in Ross' cabin. Soon Ross and Lily argue over who owns the bed before deciding to share it.The three battles of the boudoir novellas are well written with engaging lead characters even though the first two tales occasionally allow the sex scenes to forget there is the plot. Exotic romance fans will appreciate these fine novellas.Harriet Klausner
