A Romance Junkie

Tally was a photographer taking her freelance pictures in Africa and Tair a handsome, rich, leader of his people rode into town and kidnapped Tally. He took her to his hideaway for her protection and again for "her protection" married her. Tally was wonderful she did not make anything easy for this guy, and they were awesome together. I loved this book and read the ending twice. I gave this book five stars and I recommend it highly.

Although it made me want to scream, I really enjoyed this book

Tally is a photographer and aspiring children's author. She's traveling through North Africa and was just minding her own business when she got caught in a violent attack. Abandoned by her two guides, she's snatched up by Tair, the Chief of the Desert, and carried off, barbarian style to his ten city where he informs her rather matter of factly that she is now his woman and she should fall in line as soon as possible. Fiercely independent and free spirited, this does not go over well with Tally and she endeavors to escape at every opportunity. Of course the possessive Tair sets off after her each time and although he saves her, time and time again, he can't resist capitalizing on each of her escape attempts and turns them into lectures on proper wifely behavior. Tair is determined to make Tally his while Tally is equally determined to escape him. It's the Battle of the Sexes and may the best man or woman win. This started off so well. I really liked both Tally and Tair. Tair was incredibly pompous and arrogant. He might as well have clubbed her over the head and dragged her back to his cave. I wanted to hurt this guy. Every time he started spouting off on his,'I am man, hear me roar' tangents, I really wanted to take him out at the knees. Then I wanted to sex him up. It's not very forward thinking of me, I know, but there you have it. But I'm not the only one. All Tair has to do is tweak one of Tally's nipples and her scruples, morals and that proverbial high road all fall to the wayside. It's sickening. I can't in good conscience condone this type of behavior so I have to knock a star off. I also have to knock another star off due to this author's writing style. I didn't like it but it's my first book by this author and it's not going to deter me from trying another one of her books. I can't leave this with three stars though, so I'm tacking on another half a star for this book's humor. Tally and Tair's marriage ceremony had me rolling with laughter, while simultaneously screaming at the injustice of it all. Damn corrupt government officials. 3.5 stars.

Excellent read

This book is an excellent iove story and the tension between these two are wonderful and the man made you feel for him in the end he started out as being overbearing but once you got to the heart of him if he wasn't this way you would not have fallen in love with him yourself. This is a hot read with romance and sensual heat in it.

:0)

You know This reminds me of a historical romance novels with the concept of sheiks capturing the woman making her his bride...and i think this is a mini version of that ..I LOVED IT I like sheikh Tair but Tally she is a feisty one *smiling*, i also like that most of the scenes were in the desert a good change of scenery and that she kept trying to escape and almost getting her self killed just to be rescue again by sheik Tair.. Well written book, great chemistry between the couple and it was good..I'm hoping Jane Porter gives us a story about his parents due to how they met also... BACK OF THE BOOK::: Sheikh Tair lives by the rules of the desert. When he finds Tally has broken a sacred law, endangering the safety of his tribe, Tair has to act. Tally is kept like a harem girl, but every time she tries to escape, the hostile desert drives her back. And with each new act of her disobedience, Tair's resolve hardens. As ruler, he must tame her. As a man he wants her -- willing or not!

An Explosive and Powerful Love Story Full of Adventure

Disobedient doesn't begin to describe Tally who is on a photo assignment in a wild and dangerous desert city. When she is involved in a cross fire and rescued or should I say kidnapped by the handsome sheikh Tair, the war of the sexes begins! Tally and Tair's love story is full of passion, heat, disagreements and misunderstandings. Tally in Tair's eyes is disobedient and Tally to prove the point keeps trying to runaway. As this couple gets to know each other, the reader is led on an incredible journey right along with them. When Tair takes Tally to his palace, fires like you won't believe ignite. In the past both characters have been through so much. Tally had to abandon her life's dreams to stay at home and take care of her siblings as her mother needed to work to support the family. Tally goes through a lot of self-discovery and realizes she has fallen in-love with this incredible sheikh. Tair not only lost his father but also his wife and son due to desert wars. He is afraid to let Tally mean everything to him but she slips right into his heart. They marry, because Tair demands they do so but then Tally is kidnapped. When he realizes she might suffer further danger, he sends her away. Again Jane Porter has given her readers not just another adventure but an incredible love story, one I will personally long remember.
