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 anything 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.

ALTHOUGH I WANTED TO SLAP THE HERO SEVERAL TIMES, FOR BEEN SUCH A PIG HEAD,
THE BOOK WAS AN EASY READ, AND A LOT OF FUNNY MOMENT TOO.
JANE PORTER HAD A GOOD KNOWLEDGE OF ("ARABIC") LINGO AND CULTURE, BUT I WISH SHE WAS MORE IMAGINATIVE ABOUT THE LOCATION AND ITS HISTORY, AS KNOWING THE AREA IT WAS VERY HARD TO BELIEVE STORY. (IF IT WAS SET IN A DIFFERENT TIME YES MAYBE..THE HERO WOULD OF BEEN BELIEVABLE ..
BUT WHO CARES IT S NOT PROUST ITS M&B SO WE WILL KEEP ON DREAMING....

The is the story of Tally the American photojournalist who was kidnapped or saved by the Berber chief Sheikh Zein al-Tayer aka Tair. This had all the elements of a desert romance, with a camp setting in the middle of the Sahara before it moves to a desert palace, you are pictorially drawn to tales of Arabian nights, however I found the character of the Sheikh very harsh, hardhearted and down right primitive at times. Tally was held against her will and three times she tried to escape. Each time she ended up in grave danger, until rescued by the Sheikh, despite that he was determined to keep her. Granted he thought she was working with his enemies, but when he discovered that she was who she said she was he still held her captive, because she was now the woman he desired and needed to be tamed. His only defence was that his father captured his mother and carried her away. While that may sound romantic, whatever happened to freewill and setting the thing you love free? JP does well to explain why the Sheikh is the way he is. Despite my misgivings about the storyline and character development, I feel it is very well written and the picture of a hardened masculine Berber Chief & warrior and a feisty independent American woman was well portrayed. He set her free in the end after they were married but it did not have the same effect as it would have had, if he had done so earlier and allowed her to come back willingly to marry him. This concept that it is romantic for a man in love to carry off the woman against her will and not credit her with having a choice or freewill is outdated and primitive and definitely not romantic in my book. However it is a credit to how well JP wrote this character that one is able to see this handsome but flawed hero, flawed in his lack of finesse in courting a woman. He did not know how, so believed that subduing her and taming her will bring her to understand how he feels. Nonetheless, a very well written and emotionally charged story.
