Delaney's Desert Sheikh by Brenda JacksonMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
This book is #1 of the Westmorland Series. What I loved about this book was two cultures coming together from different views points. Delaney, an African American woman in America, just graduated with her Doctor’s degree; independent. Jamal, an Arabic prince; arrogant, that from his country’s belief of the moral and standards of women are to be submissive to men.
Delaney and Jamal met while at the cabin. Neither one of them knew the other was there. But apparently, they both got invites to stay at the cabin for some personal quiet time. Delaney to get away after graduating with her doctor degree and Jamal to get away from being in the public eye. However, they both were stubborn as hell and thought the other should leave, but in agreement they decided to stay there together. Yet, the sparks and attraction were overwhelming and the flirtatious play between the two ends up in an intimate sexual encounter. Jamal did not believe in falling in love. In his position as Prince, one only marries for a purpose and producing heirs. For pleasure, he has a mistress. You know Delaney was not going for this. Soon Jamal got the point.
I enjoyed their interaction with each other. The story was like a funny intimate fairytale. This is one of those fairy tales books you can lose yourself in romance and a bit of fantasy. Also, what I liked was when Delaney’s brothers meet Jamal. They were overprotective of their little sister and they did not give a shit who he was. I give it a 5 out of 5 stars. I enjoyed this story and it is a definite re-read.
