**I was given a copy of the Billionaire Sheikh Trilogy for an honest review**

When a man's opportunity for revenge presents itself, Abdul doesn't waste any time. In desert lands two families have shed blood and killed in the name of keeping their families safe. Both families have lost loved ones, but neither has taken steps to resolve the feud. But Abdul never expected to fall in love with the pawn he was using for revenge. Now he'll do whatever it takes to bring an end to these family feuds without any more bloodshed.

Kate Miller is your typical American girl just trying to pass finals to graduate from college. But being kidnapped and whisked away to a foreign country has put a damper on these plans. Being an adoptive child, Kate has always felt there was something missing in her life but can't figure out what. She never thought her kidnapper would bring to light her true origins.

But as Abdul's father has said, there are snakes in the sand and ones willing to do whatever necessary to take down the Sheikh. Especially those greedy for more power.

I enjoyed reading about Abdul and Kate's journey to find themselves and come together to bring an end to unnecessary conflicts. However, I will say I was kind of disappointed it ended as abruptly as it did. It might have been nice to have an epilogue that showed if the family were able to come to some agreeable terms and how life changed for Kate after discovering her own royal background.

Although I did enjoy this story I will admit it was very hard for me to read. There were words that were missing or words added into the sentence which made no sense. Punctuation was also something I noticed that the author didn't pay too much attention to. There were periods in the middle of sentences, random commas and sometimes dialogue wasn't in quotations so I kept having to go back to reread to make sure someone was really talking out loud and not in their heads.

I love when the billionaire doesn't have to flaunt his wealth but has everything at his disposal if needed. Their love was pure and his dormancy was powerful but gentle. I love how Emily became a strong woman who stood up for their love. A great love story and sensual read. Highly recommend this book. Leaves you in a warm haze.

If you want an intense and a dominating sheikh who demands, commands and expects respect and obedience then The Playboy Sheikh's Virgin Stable-Girls is for you.  In all of my years of reading the sheikh genre, never have I read such a book with a sheikh as bold as Kaliq.

One learns that Kaliq and Eleni met when he arrived at her father's to play cards.  Eleni's father has her posing as his servant girl and looses his prize race horse to the sheikh which actually is Eleni's horse whom she adores.  When he looks into her beautiful green eyes and sees that she has a special way of dealing with horses, he takes her from her childhood home and brings her back to his palace as his stable girl.  She fascinates him, especially her eyes and her innocence and he nicknames her "lizzard".

Sheik Kaliq is a very proud man and one who has a secret which torments him.  His sweet stable girl for some reason brings out feelings in him and one day she notices his physical scars and questions how they came to be.  Kaliq reveals that he and his brother years ago were held captive while watching their brother and he was swept out to sea and never found again, a secret he had never told to another woman.  He then realizes he's attracted to her and starts the seduction.

For Eleni, her life since her mother died has been a dismal one, waiting on her father and taking care of her horse have been her life.  Now she's living in the palace, working with horses, has a new wardrobe and a sheikh who tells her it's her duty to be available for her sheikh.  Starting with a slow seduction, she's afraid yet intrigued.  When he tells her he's taking her to England, she's overwhelmed.  However, being the master seducer that he is, he tutors Eleni in the art of love.  He also makes it very clear that he doesn't "do permanent" and she's determined to please him so much that should he leave her he'll be hurt remembering their time together.

At times this was hard for me to read as I felt she was being taken advantage of yet sometimes her character surprised me with her strength and insight into her lover.  In the end after this demanding sheikh realizes he's blocked out emotion and he understands why.  Somewhere along the way Eleni forced him to confront his deepest fears and when he realized that, the reader will forget how demanding and at times how cruel his remarks were to Eleni.  All in all, I enjoyed The Playboy Sheikh's Virgin Stable-Girl especially when I read about him coming to terms with his past and what Eleni had brought to their relationship.

Book Summary:

When half-American Princess Sabra (aka Sabrina Johnson) is kidnapped by Prince Kardal Khan while searching for the legendary City of Thieves, she soon realizes that his heated touch makes her body betray her recklessly.

She doesn't want to feel cared for in her captor's tender embrace. After living a lonely life, rejected by her father--King Hassan--and treated dismissively by her mother, all she's ever wanted was someone to love her. But falling for the sexy Sheik, otherwise known as the Prince of the City of Thieves, was simply out of the question!

The virile Sheik didn't consider kidnapping Sabrina an act of theft; he was claiming what was rightfully his. Unbeknownst to the fiery beauty, she had been betrothed to be his wife!

I enjoyed this story, right from the start, and it kept surprising me.  Isma'il is our sheikh - just taking over his country after his father's death, determined to put so many problems to right.  And the first on his list is finding the perfect buyer for their excess oil, so he can improve the lives of his people.  The third and last rep is just arriving at his airport, and he's sure that it's a waste of time, as the rep is a female.  Even worse, she's the owner's daughter, sure to be a spoiled princess without the education and knowledge he needs.  Surprise!  Lily Harkness is a blonde beauty, but she's also six foot tall, and has his country and it's needs down pat.  From the moment they meet, it's a battle - and she aims to win!  It's funny and romantic and they deserve each other!  I couldn't put it down until I finished the book- and the HEA is perfectly done.  Don't miss it!
