The Sheikh's Virgin

Loved it it will not disappoint you.... the chemisrty was there and Sheikh Kalen was just the prefect guy for Keira.... The book is also a link to the Sultan's bought bride...

I loved the writing style in this book. When the author describes the heroine's "pain", the writing is very tight. The reason I give this book 4 stars instead of 5 is because of the hero and boy is he NOT a hero in my book! A total jerk!! The author tries to redeem the hero in the last few pages but by then the damage is done. The cruelty of the hero stands out. That said this book is much better than some of the other books I have read.

This book was exceptional. I've probably read most of Jane Porter's Harlequin Presents books and I'm always amazed by her knowledge of other countries. While reading one of her books one actually feels they've stepped into that particular country. In the case of The Sheikh's Virgin, I fell in love with the Middle Eastern Desert. I could almost feel the sun on my face, smell the desert scents, feel the sand on my feet and hear the camels and Berber's setting up and taking down camp. I'm amazed at Jane's knowledge of the desert, the cultural aspects of the book and the love story, it took my breath away. Sheikh Kalen is a true alpha to the core. He is handsome, rich and very powerful in London and in his homeland Baraka. He has had many mistresses which he doesn't seem to keep for long. He is mysterious, sensual, warm and intriguing. Keira is a very beautiful emotional and sensitive woman who met Kalen during her teens in Baraka where he stole her heart. Keira was raised by her mother in the US and spent very little time with her father in Baraka. Her father felt she was too educated and her mother felt she was not smart enough. So where does Keira belong? And now, her father has promised her hand in marriage to an official in Baraka and Kalen is on a mission to protect his brother from Keira's father and intended husband. This wonderful love story, full of mystery, passion, and intrigue will steal your heart as it did mine. I will read The Sheikh's Virgin many, many times and highly recommend it.

"THE SHEIKH'S VIRGIN is the quintessential Sheikh romance - another sizzling "must read" for this summer! In her own unique style, Jane Porter has captured the exotically beautiful and passionate spirit of the Middle East with her newest Harlequin Presents. Well researched and lyrically prosed, the tale flows smoothly from start to finish and I found it incredibly easy to become totally immersed in the world created therein. Set in the land of shimmering heat, soft sand dunes, camels and tall, shady palm trees, this latest offering by Jane Porter proves yet again why she so richly deserves the title of Queen of Emotional Intensity. While I found myself identifying with Keira on many levels, it was Kalen's seductive presence and dangerously attractive personality that stole my breath - and my heart - and left me eager for more. A deeply absorbing and sultry romance, THE SHEIKH'S VIRGIN promises passion, seduction and an intriguing dose of the unpredictability too." ~ Leena Hyat, Senior Editor, The Best Reviews
