Perfect HEA story with a glitch or two. One of the better "Sheik" heroines, Kiley isn't afraid to love and to stand up for that love. I was uncomfortable with her desiring to become Rafiq's mistress just to have revenge on her ex-fiance, but I did like the way Rafiq was very patient with her inexperience.

Kiley is one of the better-realized women in this series. She is in control of her story from start to finish, no matter how muddled she might make it herself. She also fights better for her relationship than some of the others. Rafiq is fairly standard in the series; slightly tragic backstory that makes him incapable of believing himself in love but Kiley prevails.

I am absolutely smitten with Rafiq. Kiley is a strong-willed, no-nonsense type of girl and I loved that about her. The story was great and I couldn't put it down. I'm looking forward to reading more "Desert Rogue" books. Apr 23, Romance rated it it was amazing Shelves: injured-or-broken-mc , favs , richie-rich , prego-nannies , royals.

This was the best book among all the books that I have read in the entire series. I loved all the parts where Fari was involved.

I loved how he confessed his love and I loved the patience that she had. This one was truly good. Apr 16, Cathie McManus rated it really liked it.

Kiley Hendrick had worked for Prince Rafiq of Lucia-Serrat as his personal assistant for years in Los Angeles, watching beautiful women drift in and out of his life.

When she discovers on the day before her wedding that her fiance has been sleeping around like it's an Olympic sport, she decides she needs revenge in order to get on with her life.

Said fiance always seemed exceptionally jealous of Rafiq, so the obvious to her solution is to initiate an affair with her boss. Kiley is certainly no Kiley Hendrick had worked for Prince Rafiq of Lucia-Serrat as his personal assistant for years in Los Angeles, watching beautiful women drift in and out of his life. Kiley is certainly not his usual type, but Rafiq enjoys her company in the office and is intrigued by her honesty about her motives.

He had always thought her attractive, in the abstract, but when he learns that she's a virgin he is stunned by the intensity of his desire to claim her. They agree to a three-month affair, but it's not a surprise that unusual circumstances have unusual results. I swear, I'm a feminist, but I love it when the hero gets possessive.

To be clear, that's not the same as controlling, and it doesn't work if there isn't exclusivity but we're safe from that in Harlequin Land. This book has some seriously sexy scenes. The set-up is pretty interesting - it's unusual for the woman to initiate, and even more so for her to be unaware of her attraction to her boss.

Her reaction to the the typical prince speech "I'm a prince. I honor you with my proposal, but I will never love you because that would make me weak. It makes her perfect for Rafiq, but I kind of have a hard to time believing she's real. The epilogue was a nice thought, but the name-dropping from other books in the series felt sort of forced. It didn't really add anything, but it wasn't annoying enough to ruin the book for me.

Apparently this is Rafiq's father, but it seems strange that Sabrina would try to hook Cleo up with someone with sons that close to her age. Apr 07, Maura rated it liked it Shelves: contemporary-romance , virgin-heroine , harlequin-style , sheikh , series , p-b-e.

He likes her - so when there's a chance she could be pregnant, he decides to marry her. But Kiley won't have him until he can admit that he loves her. I liked some things about this story that make it different. First of all, it's the woman who is after revenge and she's all about using the hero for sex.

Not that he seems to mind. And she's not some doormat heroine either, nor is she overly stubborn and idiotic. She's a nice blend of independent and needy without being a doormat. She's well written. Also, Rafiq which sounds a bit too close to Rafiki and then I start thinking of the Lion King is a decent guy.

Not many HQN heroes out there would put off sex with the heroine until she felt perfectly comfortable with it. He never once even approached the asshat line in the sand. It was actually borderline too undramatic.

And that's why the 3 stars. It wasn't particularly memorable; it was average. I liked it, but it didn't excite me. May 28, Amy rated it really liked it. This is one of my favorite of the Sheik books.
