About this ebook
He's as wild as the desert, a barbarian prince, a revered leader. Long ago he loved a girl, but the power of their feelings almost destroyed them both. Now that woman, the only one he could ever love, is forbidden to him!
Betrothed to another, unable to bear him sons, she is unfit to be his queen…. But she can stop the storm that has raged in his heart since he last made her his.
His choice—take her as his mistress, or become the king he was born to be….

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Set in the fictional country of Qusay, which I assume is somewhere in the Middle East (desert and mountains setting), this book is second in the "Dark-Hearted Desert Men" series (the first book in the series being "Wedlocked: Banished Sheikh, Untouched Queen" by Carol Marinelli).Jasmine, once disgraced and exiled to America, has returned to Qusay to marry Umar and become a surrogate mother to his four sons. Unable to have any children of her own and desperate to win back her estranged family's approval, Jasmine figures that this is the best situation for which she can hope at this time. Then again, there's one small problem: she's still married to Kareef Al’Ramiz, who is about to become Qusay's king - and once she meets him again, she realizes that she's still in love with him, too.Of course, there is more than Jasmine's engagement to another man standing in the way of a possible reconciliation with Kareef. There's the fact that she is unable to have any children, and her sullied reputation will never be forgotten. It looks like their relationship will be impossible to maintain, but readers of romance know that there is always some loophole at the end of the book so there will be a happy ending. The book was actually fairly good. I enjoyed the dynamic between Kareef and Jasmine, but Jasmine had a tendency to make poor choices on the spur of the moment. Some of the backstory, however, was just so ridiculous that I couldn't look past it. Jasmine, at nineteen years of age and in a foreign land (America), managed to turn $50,000 into a multimillion dollar business. I mean, sure, I guess it could happen, but it's not very likely at all. And Kareef, who is supposedly some hot desert prince and on his way to becoming king of the land, hasn't touched a woman since he was eighteen years old (Jasmine). Umm. I think Jasmine's multimillion dollar business story is more likely than that one.Then again, it's not like I read these books because they're so realistic. They're naughty escapist literature, so I probably shouldn't care about how unrealistic some of the motivations and actions are and just enjoy the book. Unfortunately, my brain doesn't seem to work that way.And, really, I did enjoy reading this book, in spite of the three star rating. The author didn't get sidetracked with needless sidewinding plots. The two main characters were good for one another, I didn't think that they would have ended up killing one another in the future, and things resolved neatly (although with a little cliffhanger vibe, since this is only the second in what I presume to be a four-book series). Altogether, this wasn't a bad way to spend an hour of my life.
