Rating:  Summary: Intriguing Love Story! Review: "Delaney's Desert Sheikh" is a wonderful tale of love that occurs in the strangest of places at the oddest of times. I loved the way the characters' chemistry produced some of the strongest passion I have ever read! Delaney and Jamal were two people destined for each other even though she was probably the last type of woman he would have chosen due to her independence and his beliefs as a Sheik in Tahran.This book was an easy and quick read, but it definitely pulled you in to the lives of an intelligent woman and a proud, stubborn, Sheikh. You will love this book from the moment you pick it up!
Rating:  Summary: It's Hot Up in Here! Review: A cabin getaway retreat in an isolated location , a young recent medical school graduate about to do her residency craving a much needed break, a sheikh from the Middle East country of Tahran on recess from conducting business deals for his country, and miscommunication about who is supposed to reside in the cabin. These are the makings for a hot adventure that is a combustion of passion and sensuality enough to light the night. Brenda Jackson brings it all together in Delaney's Desert Sheikh. Jamal Ari Yasir likes those beautiful legs that are walking into the place he has borrowed from his old Harvard College roommate even if she is in the wrong place. Delaney Westmoreland did not expect to have any company especially not a handsome prince who lights her fire just by looking at her. But there he is standing there devouring her with his eyes and at the same time telling her she cannot stay there. Delaney is incensed. Her cousin promised her the use of the cabin for a month of R & R. After talking it over they decide they both will stay and proceed to go their separate ways but the heat between them is undeniable. Delaney's life is all mapped out. She will finish her residency, get married and have six children. Jamal's life is also a part of a master plan. He will return to his country, submit to an arranged marriage, keep his mistress, and be ruler of his country one day. He has no time for Western women and their headstrong ways, especially a curvaceous, curly-hair brown-eyed wonder who is disturbing his peace. She is too sassy and independent to suit him. But it is hot up in here, so take off all your clothes and it is not because of the summer climate. Ms. Jackson has written an entertaining, erotic tale of two people who veer from their prescribed paths. Sensuous love scenes that will make you squirm and holler and dream of a prince of your own. The prince has skills including the Kiss----- an advanced form of French kissing. This is the first story in the Westmoreland Family series; Delaney has five older hunky bachelor brothers who make an appearance in this story just waiting for their stories to be told. I look forward to reading more. Dera Williams APOOO BookClub
Rating:  Summary: BRILLIANT BRENDA Review: AFTER READING SEVERAL REVIEWS ABOUT THE BOOK "DELANEY'S DESERT SHEIKH", I KNEW I HAD TO ADD THIS BOOK TO MY GROWING ROMANTIC NOVEL COLLECTION. I PURCHASED THE BOOK USED FOR TWICE THE REGULAR PRICE AND IT WAS WORTH IT. THE BOOK WAS TRULY A JOY TO READ. IT WAS ONE BIG ROMANTIC AND SEXUAL COCKTAIL! THE CHARACTERS AND THE STORY WERE SO REALISTIC. BRENDA IS A GIFTED WRITER. SHE KNOWS HOW TO TELL A STORY THAT HOLDS THE READER'S INTEREST. THE TROUBLE WITH READING BRENDA'S BOOKS IS TO STOP. ONCE YOU START, YOU CAN'T STOP. TRY THE BOOK, YOU WILL LIKE IT. I'M NOW ONE OF BRENDA'S MOST DEVOTED FANS!
Rating:  Summary: Silhouette Desire? Review: As a graduation present Reggie gives his cousin, Sassy Delaney Westmoreland a month of rest and relaxation at his North Carolina cabin but upon her arrival discovers a trespasser. The sexy-as-sin Prince of Tahran, Jamal Ari Yassir has already set up camp in her cabin! They both refuse to leave and after Delaney integrates him and verifies with Reggie the he is legit, she decides to share the cabin with him and lets him know upfront that there will be no hanky-panky and that she would understand if he began to feel too crowded and decided to leave. Even though she was instantly attracted to him she knows she is stubborn enough to handle him. The sheikh was confused by his attraction to her because he has very little tolerance for western women because in his country women do what they are told. How in the world will they peacefully make it through the month? The hammock scene-that was original, talk about anticipation....Wow!!!! This was my first Brenda Jackson read and I have been on a mad hunt for any and everything by her since. This story is sooo... romantic and Ms. Jackson proves the point that is does not take 400+ pages to write a great romance story. I had no idea that Harlequin was publishing this type of story. I was recommended this book based on my love for inter-racial love stories and though it's less than 200 pages it's definitely a keeper and worth reading and re-reading.
Rating:  Summary: Fabulous Flavor!!! Review: As usual, Brenda Jackson gives readers more than a mouthful of flavor with her unique style of writing.Jackson again has created a true to life romantic saga that only she is capable of doing. Nobody tells a tale of love like my girl. The plot, setting,theme,and the characters in this book all mixed together produce another best-seller with a fabulous flavor. She by far is my favorite author.
Rating:  Summary: Score one for Brenda Jackson! Review: Brenda Jackson did it. She broke a color barrier and with as much dithering as the Harlequin/Silhouette book factory has done over the years about the issue I say that it's about time! I only wish that the groundbreaking work where better. Unfortunately, I think that some editor at Silhouette got a hold of this and tried to wipe out the references to black culture. The language tends to be very formal at times and slang terms like "da bomb" have become "the bomb". I was a little annoyed that the narrative got hung up on this stuff. I love the five brothers, and I can smell series in air when I see them. It will be cool to see these "card carrying players" get taken down a few pegs. Go Brenda!
Rating:  Summary: ONE FOR YOUR COLLECTION !!!! Review: Brenda Jackson is a master at celebrating black love which is the reason I almost didn't buy this book .... I'm not big on interracial dating and didn't care to read about it. It was refreshing to read that the characters where people of color but hailed from different ethnic backgrounds. I particularly appreciated how the couples really didn't take too long to succomb to their feelings and let love blossom. In many of Mrs. Jackson's books, the main characters fight with themselves way too long about letting go of past hurt and just love. With that said, I still strongly recommend this book and all others written by Mrs. Jackson !
Rating:  Summary: She's Done it Again Review: Brenda Jackson's talent keep going, and going and going some more. I encourage all Romance readers to run to your nearest book store and get this book. You will lose sleep because you will not want to put this book down. The chemistry between Jamal and Delaney is HOTT!! Jamal and Delaney were both expecting some R&R for a month in a secluded cabin but what they found was everlasting love. I can't wait for the other Westmoreland clan stories to reach the bookshelf. I know it will be just as good or even better than this one.
Rating:  Summary: Coming to America Review: Delaney Westmoreland is looking for a little rest and relaxation. As a graduation present from medical school her cousin offers her the use of his cabin in the woods of North Carolina. To Delaney this sounds perfect. She can rest up before starting her residency and have some time away from the Brothers 5 (Dare, Thorn, Stone, Chase and Storm) - her older, overbearing and overprotective brothers. She arrives at the cabin to find out she's not the only one looking for a little rest and relaxation. Jamal Ari Yasir, a sheikh and prince from the Middle East, has also been offered use of the cabin. With both refusing to leave - the sparks fly! Cute, quick, easy read.
Rating:  Summary: Okay Review: I am a big fan of Mrs. Jackson's books however this one I didn't care for to much. If it had not been for the Super Hot Sex scenes or those FINE brothers of hers the book would not have made for me. But I will continue to support and buy Mrs. Jackson's books. Boy I can't wait to read about those brothers of hers there almost hotter that the Madaris.
