100 Arabian Nights
Anthology by
Kim Lawrence, Meredith Webber, Liz
Fielding
A
must read for lovers of sheikh romances and short romances! Awesome
anthology!
In
100 ARABIAN NIGHTS, Mills and Boon, the publisher, gathers together
three of their author superstars --- Kim Lawrence, Meredith Webber, and
Liz Fielding --- with three tales of desert love. Spanning the scope
within the sheikh romance genre, this anthology will delight readers
with its variety and its collection of the amazing sheikhs and the
intriguing women who discover love in exotic places. Strong, powerful
and wealthy sheikh heroes encounter women whose passion, intelligence
and hearts bring these heroes to their knees when love sparks.
In Kim Lawrence's
THE SHEIKH AND THE VIRGIN, Prince Tariq comes to
town to meet with Beatrice Devlin and forbids his brother Khalid to
marry her. Beatrice cannot believe the insulting audacity of this man.
Together with her friends, she plots to give him exactly what he
deserves, playing the role of the conniving seductress to the max. When
Tariq and Beatrice are together in his palace home, passion turns Tariq
and Beatrice's plans to seduction as the hot chemistry between them
ignites. When a crisis brings them together, will the revelation of
Beatrice's plot bring a stop to Tariq's growing love or fuel the flames
even more? Kim Lawrence writes an explosive, suspenseful tale of desert
love. As the intense energy between the hero and heroine turns to
family, can both Tariq and Beatrice discover a new kind of love where
the demands of and desire for family combine passion and love? Kim
Lawrence starts off this anthology with a dynamic and dramatic tale of
romance that will have readers eager to explore the remaining stories.
In Meredith Webber's
THE DESERT PRINCE'S CONVENIENT BRIDE,
Australian nurse Hannah MacIntosh has cared for her young nephew,
Mickey, becoming his mother in all but name. When Sheikh Tarik shows up
on her doorstep ready to whisk this young heir back to his desert
kingdom, Hannah will do anything to protect her child. The power and
wealth Tarik holds is nothing compared to the love of a mother for her
son! Even if it means uprooting her life to go to Suleila and marrying
the very man who plans to steal Mickey away, Hannah is determined not
to be swayed! As Mickey draws Tarik and Beatrice closer and closer,
will they discover in each other untold dreams and passions to turn
their marriage of convenience and security into love and family in ways
they never dared to imagine beforehand? Meredith Webber's writes an
emotionally moving romance that takes an intimate look at family,
developing a theme in the previous tale and enriching it with moments
of tenderness that will move the reader's heart as a young child opens
two hearts. Meredith Webber's romance takes the reader right into the
heart of the desert kingdom, giving the reader an even closer look into
the connection between family and kingdom.
In Liz Fielding's
CHOSEN AS THE SHEIKH'S WIFE, an exquisite finale
to the anthology, a suddenly uncovered antique and a chance moment on
the television shooting of Trash and Treasure, brings Violet Hamilton
into the spotlight. Sheihk Fayad suddenly appears demanding the lost
Blood of Tariq weapon. With news of this discovery spreading as well as
political intrigue, Fayad must find a way to possess the antique weapon
and keep Violet safe. The only way to do both is to marry her! Liz
Fielding's romance captures the themes of the previous romances while
adding new exciting dimensions. With its humor, chance and kismet, an
exotic setting and history, Liz Fielding writes a romance that will
delight readers. Drama, vivid imagery, powerful emotions and family
history mixed with legends create a romance that will live in the
reader's imagination. The family history of Violet and Fayad is a love
that spans generations and oceans! CHOSEN AS THE SHEIKH'S WIFE is an
exquisite finale in a magnificent anthology that will transport readers
with its mesmerizing romance and compelling characters.
100 ARABIAN NIGHTS is must read for sheikh romance lovers and
indeed any lover of short romance. All three romances are outstanding
and each one follows well on the previous stories, building and
expanding on themes. From passion to a mother's love to a destined love
that crosses the boundaries of time, each story adds delightful variety
while at the same time giving a sense of depth as these stories are
read together. The editor did a fabulous job organizing this anthology.
Each romance works well as a stand alone story but together they have
even more power as one develops so smoothly yet inventively from the
previous story. One almost wonders if the authors themselves had worked
together in the creation of this anthology. 100 ARABIAN NIGHTS is the
perfect choice for sheikh romance lovers and those readers new to this
genre wanting to explore the scope and beauty of the subgenre. 100
ARABIAN NIGHTS is indeed a very fine celebration for the 100th
anniversary of a publisher known for bringing some of the finest
romance to readers for a century. Readers will want to keep it both as
a commemoration and for rereading.
