After exiling herself from Zohayd and her hardened
criminal mother, Princess Laylah Aal Shalaan, she has set up
a business with her partner Mira in Chicago. Her attack and
potential kidnapping for ransom by thugs was short lived due
to her rescuer, Sheikh Rashid Aal Munsoori. Laylah, having
the feeling of being watched for some time, is certain it
has been the man she has loved since a small child. To
Laylah he now appears a fallen angel, dark and ominous with
many scars and appearing more a demon possessed beast than
man. Insisting Rashid go to the ER for his injuries,
nothing will persuade Laylah from seeing it through to her
satisfaction that he is cared for.
Rashid has been estranged and hated by Laylah's family
since a drastic misunderstanding of years ago. Believing
Laylah is a bitch like her mother, his intent is to
eventually marry her for her royal blood and become King of
Azmahar to get even with the family for what was done to
him. With Laylah's stubbornness and insistence, she finally
has her way and her virginity is taken by Rashid. With
marriage in the future for the innocent Laylah it is time
for Rashid to go through proper channels and return to
Zohayd to receive acceptance from her family and their King.
Everything goes according to plan until Laylah's mother
poisons her mind how Rashid is using her. Convincing Laylah
that his plan backfired in Chicago and that he would give
everything up for her because he truly loves her, is going
to be require an act of God where his stubborn and
devastated Princess is concerned.
In the continuation of Olivia Gates' series of DESERT
KNIGHTS, this tale is up to the task of turning you on with
the hot sex and a powerful rich Sheikh. Rashid appears as a
heartless and powerful man but is in fact obsessed and
filled with love for a woman he has desired since childhood.
THE SHEIKH'S DESIRE has an interesting story line and is
filled with
the exotic and exciting world of the rich and powerful. As
with the previous stories in this series, my full attention
was captured, making it extremely difficult to lay this
book aside. I truly love this author's style of writing and
wit in keeping readers tied to every word. Hopefully
there will be more additions to this passionate & intriguing
series.
