Carmen has found and lost her desert prince, but she is left with a precious child. A child she never expected to have. Farooq has lost the love of his life and he is angry. He believes she has betrayed him. He hunts her down when he discovers that she has given birth to his daughter.
This book needs to come with a warning, a fan and a bucket of cold water. Gates has a way with words, every day, commonplace words. Words that every one of us has used at some time in our lives. But Gates finds new ways to string them together that create inordinate amounts of tension and excitement. She uses words in prose that could be poetry. Her words paint incredibly passionate portraits that surround the reader. I cannot wait for the next book, The Desert Lord’s Bride.

I'm still fanning
I'm still fanning myself.
I want a Farooq for myself (and I'm not unhappy in my marriage, but...) LOL
All I can say to Olivia G is:
Thanks for writing this story.
Nancy
Oh, my Nancy!!
Oh, my Nancy!!
Another incredible quote for my website!!!!
And what *you* said as you described my writing language is so poetic, so descriptive, so evocative, I can't find enough words (and that's, as you must know, an almost unheard of occurrence) to say how excited I am by your opinion. As thrilled as I am with this book's incredible reception, I'm even more so by the comments I'm getting on my storytelling ability and voice!
Really crossing fingers now you find The Desert Lord's Bride as satisfying!
