The Sheikh Surgeon's Proposal by Olivia Gates

This one is close to the top of my pile. I know I'll enjoy it as I have all her others. I like her strong but caring Alpha H's.

ask Lorie and Jayne if I can count this a second time under its French title, given that I read it in February in English

I suppose if I were to do the blurb and review in French ...

personne ne comprendra, mais est-ce vraiment important d'être compris?

apart from FF of course but then one could say that she never understands anything

Glad to see you enjoyed this one as well.  I still can't believe I liked a sheikh book but... this one really was incredible, wasn't it?

These sound sooo good, i'm going to have to pick them up to try. Catchy review Margie.

well let's face it FF (and I hereby acknowledge that the fault there is with the French publisher, as the translator did an abridged translation - the job she was ASKED and paid to do) it could hardly be worse

me, fair? who's been slandering me again?

I'm thrilled Malek and Farooq have managed to put me on your favorite authors list! I'm even more thrilled both have garnered such a unanimous response. Malek was my
first sheikh, and writing him, and my other sheikhs, felt like coming home, writing exactly the kind of alpha males I always wanted to write. Powerful, passionate, and deeply human and sane. Also ones who truly value and respect women, especially the one woman they'd never realized they'd been waiting for all their lives.

I really hope you'll like Shehab and Kamal as much.

In other great news, Shehab garnered me another Top Pick from RT, and The Desert Lord's Bride has already hit the #1 spot on the Top Ten Bestseller list in eBooks here on eHarlequin, in its presale week!

Groaaaaaannnn!

This is what I feared. I stopped reading my French translations after I was so depressed to find translators haven't only abridged my books, but when one actually once changed my ending. I'd hoped Malek had fared better. 

Oh, well, Medicals still sell pretty well in France, so maybe they know what they're doing.

That's good to know! Each time there's a different translator and there were ones who were better than others, but since Meds are translated in the Blanche series, my love scenes end up being almost chopped off, so that's probably why I feel they're drastically shortened, since my love scenes are a substantial part of any of my books. And that one where the ending was changed was strange...

Hope Le Prince Chirurgien is much the same as The Sheikh Surgeon's Propsoal!
