book is great, audio tapes are a disappointment |
|
I really liked the book, so when I found the audio book of the story I bought it. I listened to it and was impressed with the quality of the narrator and the way she brought the story to life. However, there is a problem with the audio version. My version (2 cassettes) only tells the first half of the story with an altered ending. I was so frustrated by the sudden cutting off of the story that I felt compelled to read the second half in my book. Do not buy the audio version if it has 2 cassettes. It is a definite disappointment. |

Lord of the Desert~Great Book |
|
I read this book at least once a year of not twice. It's about Sheikh Phillip Sabon & sheltered small town girl Gretchen Brannon. If you love Diana Palmer you'll like this book. |

Very entertaining book |
I thought that this book was really good. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars was because it was really far-fetched and would NEVER happen in real life. Anyway, Phillppe Sabon is the ruler of Qawi. He is a dark man with a dark past and he has sworn that he would never fall in love again. Gretched Brannon is on a vacation with her friend Maggie. Maggie is supposed to take a job as a secretary for Phillippe. She is suddenly called home to care for her stepbrother who was just hurt in an accident. (Read Desperado) So, Gretchen fills her shoes. At first, she is going to lie and say that she is Maggie, but she is an honest woman and decides to tell the truth. There is someone after Phillippe and wants him to pay for sending him to prison, so Phillippe and anyone around him is in grave danger. Gretchen and Phillippe fall in love and she makes him feel like he is a man again. (He was hurt and told that he could never have sex or father any children) But Gretchen makes him feel desire.
I thought that Phillippe was a great man and very sexy to boot. He is a take charge man and very romantic also. I liked Gretchen, but she talked about Texas way too much. Everytime she opened her mouth, something about Texas came out of it. There is lots of romance and action in this book. It will keep you reading from start to finish. |

Must read for die hard DP fans! |
|
When i read once in paris where phillipe was first introduced, my heart was aching for him cause he could never have a happily ever after. Then i first came across this book lord of the desert my first reaction was "YESSSSSSSS!!!!!" Thank you Diana for giving Phillippe(That how you spell it?)a wonderful happy ending, no matter how unrealistic. I realise that it is quite unlikely that a man would be able to function sexually when there is extensive damage to that area but i don't care! Books like DP's novels are meant to be an escape form reality and i adore this book sooooo much. I think gretchen is perfect for him, not only becasue she is reminiscent of Brianne, phillipe's former love, but also she was willing to accept his limitations as a man. The sex scenes are quite steamy although i wish DP would stop using the phrase "I've never been this potent!". I've read enough of her books to realise that most of her noveld follow the same pattern and this does, but this is extra special! Everyone should read this! |
