Format:Paperback
i absolutely adore lynne graham and her books, but this one just about fell flat. her usual elements of a great romantic read are there and in principle i guess i could score it with more than four stars but our heroine positively drove me potty. why is she such a shrew? i mean i've heard of conflicted characters but this is just being shrewish for the sake of it. credit to our hero for obviously loving her enough to be patient with her. my patience would have ran out long before his. for a woman supposed to be highly inteligent her brain was obviously on vacation most of the time.

Where's *my* sheikh?
7 Sep 2001
Format:Paperback
I first read this book four years ago. It was the first Lynne Graham book I'd ever read, and the second Mills & Boon I'd read. Lynne Graham remains my favourite M&B author, and I avidly wait anything new from her. "The Desert Bride" is a Valentino-esque story of love blossoming in the desert, with Razul as the crown prince of a fictitious middle-eastern country, and Beth,an english scholar researching his country. Beth finds herself stranded in Razul's country after becoming separated from her obligatory male companion. When Beth finds herself in trouble with the airport security upon entering the country alone, we discover that she and Razul knew each other while they were studying at university together some five years before. Beth uses Razul's name to get her out of trouble, at which point she is whisked off to the palace, somewhat against her will. It turns out that Beth and Razul had a rather steamy past - but nothing came of it - until now. Our hero is tall,dark, handsome, and very compelling - and it is hard to understand why it takes so long for Beth to see this! There are the usual elements of romance novels - a jealous woman who threatens to break our couple up; falling in love followed by a misunderstanding, then realisation - and of course, a happy ending. But one thing that is not usual, is that Graham has a remarkable story-telling ability, and her attention to detail and rich portrayal of the scenery our characters are experience is something which pervades all of her novels. 'The Desert Bride' is no exception. Graham's description of the palace both inside and the gardens, is especially beautiful, as are the desert scenes. As such, this is my favourite desert romance novel, and if you like this sort of romance, you will positively fall in love with this one. I also strongly recommend two other novels by Lynne Graham - 'An Arabian Courtship' (another desert romance, but entirely different from this one); 'The Secret Wife' (this is my favourite Lynne Graham, and I highly recommend it, for the strength of the characters and storyline); and 'The Spanish Groom' (for the humor and a heroine who actually has some misgivings about her looks!)
A Romance Junkie

This book was awesome, I enjoyed it so much I'm actually going to read it again in a couple of months. He was totally in love with this woman for two years and she was afraid of him because of personal reasons (I don't want to tell you and spoil it). He studied in England but mostly for university so his understanding of the language was not that great, but you won't really catch that till the end. It was so romantic, I loved when she was sick and how he wouldn't leave her side, I think she actually was a bit stupid even though she was a doctor. I gave this book five stars and recommend it highly.

Wonderful Story
22 Jun 2006
Format:Paperback
I just recently discovered the wonderful romance author Lynne Graham and I can't seem to get enough of her books: they are superb. Desert Bride is another gripping story by this author (if not the best I have read so far). I won't really go into the details about the story for it has already been posted, but the hero, Prince Razul was just breathtaking. You can see from the beginning of the story that he is deeply in love with the heroine (Bethany), but very vulnerable due to fear of rejection. I stayed up all night to finish the story and believe me, you won't put it down once you begin.
