Summary: Yummy!
Comment: I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. There was excitement, danger, lust and love. It kept me on the edge of my seat for most of the book. I enjoyed how Zara was a powerful woman and not a bubble-headed heroin. She was strong in her convictions and did not sway in her loyalties to her people. Sheik Jamal was a brave fighter with a sensitive side that just made me want to be able to reach out and console him during the more stressful moments in the book. Oh, who am I kidding! I wanted to reach out and touch him throughout the entire book. I found the sex scenes to be very erotic but not overdone. I have never read a Connie Mason book before but I will be looking for her other books. I enjoyed the follow-through and cohesiveness of her story telling. I also enjoyed the historical information provided in the book not to mention the nice glossary of terms in the back. I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a good love story.

Summary: Almost perfect.
Comment: I thoroughly enjoyed this book, until the very end. It is a refreshing change from the typical romance stories that take place in either early America, or Europe. This story takes place in exotic Morocco, where Connie Mason entreats you to a rich culture that includes Arabian clothing, castles, foods, etc...
Ms. Mason also stays true to her way of creating a heroine that is brave, strong, smart, and yet still feminine. Zara is a Berber warrior princess, who fights boldly against those who oppress her people. She has a smart wit, and a sharp tongue that almost cause her to be beheaded by the Arabian sultan.
Sheik Jamal is intrigued by her daring. He is used to the submissive women of his own culture. He persuades the sultan to give Zara to him as a slave. Expecting to easily tame the woman he comes to call "Vixen", Jamal is in for a much greater challenge than he bargained for. Zara is headstrong and willful. She takes on Jamal's male slaves and female concubines in both verbal and physical battles. Meanwhile, her father plans a raid to free her.
This is only the beginning of the story! The rest follows through with exciting sword battles, humorous battles of will, exotic love scenes (really good ones!!!), and romantic encounters.
My only disappointment came with the last few chapters. Jamal and Zara are forced to flee Morocco and settle in England. They leave behind their warm exotic world, and move into one of his many English estates. It turns out he holds an English title and vast wealth (surprise, surprise). For me, it didn't come close to comparing to the beauty of the Moroccan castle and culture.
A final conflict arises when Jamal's mother disapproves of his choice of wife. This conflict is too suddenly solved. Also, a very typical twist is thrown in for Jamal's mother. I wish Ms. Mason would have left the couple in Morocco, ending the book with them living in the same unique surroundings they had through the rest of the story.
All told: Some of the best love scenes I've read to date. Interesting and exciting characters. Fast passed and never boring. This book is a great read.

Summary: 4 1/2 Stars for an interesting journey through the desert...
Comment: A classic love story between two people who were born of very different worlds and are thrown together and then torn apart.
A Princess and a Sheik.
Morocco 1673,
Raised a Berber warrior to fight at her father's side, Princess Zara was taught to fight the blood thirsty Arabs who stole her people's land.
In a simple, but effective raid one night in the desert, Zara was taken prisoner to be used as a bargaining chip against her father, the cadi of the tribe. Her captor? Sheik Jamal abd Thabit; the sultan's favorite warrior.
Sent to destroy the 'blue men' as they were called, the wandering desert nomads who struck fear into the hearts of many Arabs eluded the powerful sultan for too long. Jamal was determined to catch them, but failed he did, until he caught the princess and vowed to deliver her instead to the sultan. He didn't wager he'd fall in love with the headstrong woman or that he risk everything including his life for her either.
A richly told tale of love, power and desperation that only Ms Mason can tell. Through the burning sands of Morocco to the marketplaces of a distant time and place, love finds a way.
