Typical Lindsey historical. Overblown emotional yarn with great characters. Quick read.
This is not pc. If you are not ok w/slavery, bondage, harems, etc. choose another book. If you are not a prude, then by all means pick it up and read. It will be one of the best stories you will get.
A very good story. I couldn't care less for the smut, but the political intrigue was fascinating.

Amazing book- the story is lush, if unbelievable, and the sexual undertones amazing. The plot is that a girl is kidnapped and sold into the harem of the dey This is a neat look at how harems function, and it gave an in depth look into how a woman who isn't used to the concept would feel about it. The story is great
One of my Guilty Pleasure books, this one won't appeal to everyone. It just so happens that I have a fondness for sheik books, and this is my favorite, even if the hero is just pretending to be a sheik.
Not my favorite... I didn't really like the lead female character.
