Bedouin Bride SIM #63 - By Barbara Faith
KATHERINE BISHOP: She felt as if she were living in a novel when she was kidnapped and carried in to the Morroccan desert.
RASHID BEN HASAR: He had connections to two worlds: the civilized West, and the fierce East that was his heritage. They clashed beneath the blazing sun and again on the shifting sands below the star-filled sky. They were two worlds on a collision course, two hearts that could only beat as one....
Well I'm not sure about the two hearts beating as one, Rashid was a bit of an arrogant takeover in my opinion. He was TOO alpha, he decided he wanted Katherine and that he would stop her from marrying someone else by kidnapping her and keeping her his captive until she admitted to the passionate connection between them. I know I loved early JAK (writing as Jayne Castle) when her guys were all employing cave-man tactics and it was ok and this book WAS written in 1984 around that time-period when authors had the he-man syndrome in many of their male leads. So I guess some people will like it, others not so much...If you're looking for a Macho guy who won't take no for an answer, this is your book.
