Delaney’s Desert Sheikh

I been looking forward to reading this book. I enjoy the characters and their story they are telling me too. I enjoy reading this series of Westmoreland.

BRILLIANT BRENDA

AFTER READING SEVERAL REVIEWS ABOUT THE BOOK "DELANEY'S DESERT SHEIKH", I KNEW I HAD TO ADD THIS BOOK TO MY GROWING ROMANTIC NOVEL COLLECTION. I PURCHASED THE BOOK USED FOR TWICE THE REGULAR PRICE AND IT WAS WORTH IT. THE BOOK WAS TRULY A JOY TO READ. IT WAS ONE BIG ROMANTIC AND SEXUAL COCKTAIL! THE CHARACTERS AND THE STORY WERE SO REALISTIC. BRENDA IS A GIFTED WRITER. SHE KNOWS HOW TO TELL A STORY THAT HOLDS THE READER'S INTEREST. THE TROUBLE WITH READING BRENDA'S BOOKS IS TO STOP. ONCE YOU START, YOU CAN'T STOP. TRY THE BOOK, YOU WILL LIKE IT. I'M NOW ONE OF BRENDA'S MOST DEVOTED FANS!

Delaney's Desert Sheikh

Looking for a read that will hold your interest? Well, have no fear, DELANEY'S DESERT SHEIKH is here! This work marks Brenda Jackson's debut venture with Silhouette Desire. DELANEY'S DESERT SHEIKH is steaming with sexual tension and truly unforgettable love scenes. Jackson brings it all using the plot of strangers falling in lust, mutual respect and then love. So, find that comfortable spot, get a cool drink and let's not forget that fan - because you're going to need it! What happens when you place a liberated, forthright pediatrician and a charismatic, desert prince, with politically incorrect ideas about women in a cabin alone together? You get F-I-R-E-W-O-R-K-S! Delaney Westmoreland and Sheikh Jamal Ari Yassir are due for a much needed vacation from the stresses of their occupations. Delaney just finished medical school and is in desperate want of relaxation and most importantly sleep. She's also seeking to escape her family's devoted attentions with some solitude. When her cousin suggests a cabin of which he is part owner, it's the perfect solution. While Jamal has just finished intense negotiations concerning his country, he's also seizing this time to mentally prepare himself for his upcoming, arranged marriage. With the summit over, Jamal's mind wanders and he's soon missing the affections of his long-time mistress. Likewise, the offer from his friend to have the cabin for his leisure is met with enthusiasm. That is until he meets Delaney.From the moment Jamal sees Delaney, he wants her. At first, it's because he has been on a self-imposed hiatus from intimacy to concentrate on the conference. However, despite their hostile attitude toward each other, an instant chemistry binds them together. Their admirable sparring only hides the passionate feelings that are barely beneath the surface. When two determined individuals are placed in a strange situation, confrontations for superiority are soon to materialize and Delaney and Jamal do not disappoint. Delaney firmly states her desire to keep her virginity until love and marriage comes along. Though Delaney's parents are good role models for a loving relationship, she observes how her charming, but domineering five brothers treat the women in their lives as playthings until that one woman who can challenge them comes along. Despite her wanting no part of that, she remains intensely attracted to Jamal. Jamal is equally unwavering in his obsessive craving to have her for himself. He offers an alliance with "no strings," just for the time they remain at the retreat. Of course, Delaney says no, initially, but finds herself ready to relinquish her innocence so that she can experience the power of making love. Delaney becomes a temptress and a willing victim of Jamal's allure. Jamal's magnetism is evident in his inventive kissing technique that leaves Delaney dizzy with wonder and anticipation. What ensues next is a love so filled with caring, ardor and sensuality that even time and distance cann

Silhouette Desire?

As a graduation present Reggie gives his cousin, Sassy Delaney Westmoreland a month of rest and relaxation at his North Carolina cabin but upon her arrival discovers a trespasser. The sexy-as-sin Prince of Tahran, Jamal Ari Yassir has already set up camp in her cabin! They both refuse to leave and after Delaney integrates him and verifies with Reggie the he is legit, she decides to share the cabin with him and lets him know upfront that there will be no hanky-panky and that she would understand if he began to feel too crowded and decided to leave. Even though she was instantly attracted to him she knows she is stubborn enough to handle him. The sheikh was confused by his attraction to her because he has very little tolerance for western women because in his country women do what they are told. How in the world will they peacefully make it through the month? The hammock scene-that was original, talk about anticipation....Wow!!!!This was my first Brenda Jackson read and I have been on a mad hunt for any and everything by her since. This story is sooo... romantic and Ms. Jackson proves the point that is does not take 400+ pages to write a great romance story. I had no idea that Harlequin was publishing this type of story. I was recommended this book based on my love for inter-racial love stories and though it's less than 200 pages it's definitely a keeper and worth reading and re-reading.

Delaney gets her Sheikh

I want to tell you what a fantastic job you did with Delaney and her Sheikh.I have never purchased the Silouette books before, but once I saw Brenda's name on a book, I knew the book was worth purchasing and the book is worth every coin.What a great story. I have one objection... It wasn't long enough.I know we are greedy, but this is what happens when you feed us great stories.I'm hoping you will do stories on at least two of Delaney's brothers, however we would love to hear about all 5 brothers.I can't wait for the series to continue with the Westmoreland Brothers and the women who tame them.I can wait for Tara to tame Thorn.Anyway, I want compliment you on a job well done. Brenda, you now have two family sagas to continue and I know that this will be a job well done.I can't wait for the Madaris family saga to continue, especially Chrissy's story.

This books is hot as desert heat.

I loved this book. Mrs Brenda Jackson has done it again.Please go out and get this book as soon as possible.The Westmorlands are going to be a trip.I think they are going to be five brothers that put you in the mind of Clayton Maderis. I loved the love scenes they are HOT HOT HOT!
