The Romance Reviews!
| Sizzling Summer Reads conjures up images of oil-slicked bodies lounging in cozy recliners near water’s edge. The exotic scent of coconut wafts on a gentle breeze. A stroll in the damp sand reveals sun worshipers absorbing some rays, others huddled beneath umbrellas in dark glasses, their noses buried in romance novels – or nowadays even more likely – an ereader.
Whether you love small town romance, paranormal, historical, or western, there are as many romance novel subcategories as there are days in the year. Nearly. How about a sizzling summer sheikh romance? While you enjoy a sandy beachscape, read The Sheikh’s Spy. It takes place in the golden desert in Zahiria, one of the fictitious kingdoms surrounding the Golden Triangle. Imagine how Olympia Green feels when she is taken by a dark sheikh as collateral for the gambling debt her brother Rick has just incurred, and can’t pay. Loaded onto a private jet like a piece of luxury baggage, she is thrown into the harem of a desert fortress. Olympia escapes, crosses a small section of desert, and enters neighboring Zahiria. Her objectives are few: warn Sheikh Adnan of Zahiria that his life is in danger, and find her missing brother, Rick. Adnan is unsure he can trust the beauty that thwarted palace security and materialized in his office in the middle of the night, but the chemistry between them sizzles even hotter than a summer read. A new title in the Sheikhs of the Golden Triangle series releases this summer: The Sheikh’s Crowning. Yes, Rick gets his own story, and you will be delighted to see who captures this undercover agent’s heart. While you await this newest story, enjoy The Amulet, series prequel. It gives you the magical, mysterious history of the desert kingdoms, and identifies the strife that endures through more than a century of royals. There is also a sweet romantic ghost story in the series called Christmas Spirits.
