Laura Bliss is an assistant location scout with no sense of direction—which is how she got stuck with a faulty GPS and the job of scouting sand dunes rather than the oasis her boss is currently viewing. With the sun going down and Laura seriously worrying for her life, she stumbles across a tent that looks more like a palace than a campsite. Dehydrated and burnt, it seems like salvation—until men … men wearing desert garb and toting AK47’s ride out in jeeps to gather her.
Sheikh Raheem can barely believe his luck when an American woman is brought into his tent. He is passionate about his country’s natural splendor, but its PR is in desperate need of a makeover—perhaps as much as the dirty beauty in front of him. He makes an offer: Laura, with her eye for finding the beauty in a location, will help him craft a campaign promoting his country, and when she completes the project he’ll send her back to America with a paycheck she can live on for years. Seeing a chance for financial freedom, Laura jumps at the opportunity.
As Raheem shows off the magnificence of his land, Laura finds herself getting swept into a fairy tale full of palaces, five-star luxury, and the most sensuous sex she’s ever experienced. Though she values her independence, the temptation to stay—not just for Raheem, but for the beautiful country that isn’t getting the attention it deserves—holds her in place. But when the country’s natural treasures are threatened, Raheem and Laura must decide what means more to them: their love for one another or their original plans.

SHAKE DOWN SHEIKH!!!
Talk about taking it to extremes. Whew. Leslie does it spectacularly grand in this page turning tale. All the drama, suspense, danger and broken hearts you can stand. One thing I can say for sure is this is one hot steamy, off the charts read with an explosive chemistry that burns brighter than the sun between the two main characters. The characters are realistic and believable with such individual qualities that really make this read pop. Their flowing personalities is definitely something to behold. Armed with a strong storyline bring their personalities to the far front as they strive to be the person to carry out the roles they were created for. Twists and turns abound with unexpected surprises that can bring you to your knees as the cast of characters that are personable. Leslie did a remarkable job bringing this read together flawlessly. Great job, thanks for sharing this awesome read with us.
A nice fairy tale kind of romance. The setting for this romance is really well described. The reader can easily envisage the multi-hued sunsets in the desert. The main female character is strong willed and also has a strong sense of self-worth. The main male character has a strong sense of home, family and culture. Together these two set off sparks in one another that cannot be denied. A lovely “warm your tummy” romance.
I received an advance review copy of this novel and I am leaving an honest review.
