Review: The Sheikh's Disobedient Bride by Jane Porter

The Sheikh's Disobedient Bride by Jane Porter
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

I am not a lover of sheikh romances. I find them a bit if not a lot farfetched and most if not all have a uber alpha-male, who is a ruler of some small and unknown kingdom in the Middle East, who has studied overseas and of course he’s very progressive…. before reluctantly going back home to become a ruler, who falls for a Western gorgeous and totally unsuitable woman to be his sheikh!!!!
Oh let me add what the book blurb says…. She must be tamed--by the Sheikh.
This may be a bit of an exaggeration but in general these are the plots in Sheikh stories.

I love Jane Porter’s books and whilst this one was an okay read, it’s certainly not a great and memorable one for me.

Tally is a photographer…can’t remember right now if she’s American or British (most of the heroines in the Sheikh’s stories usually are either one of the other!!) is doing a fashion shoot in the desert and Sheikh Tair is extremely angry that she’s despoiling his country’s dignity. So what does he do???

Yes, he kidnaps her and takes her off to his harem..sorry…tent in the desert…where he proceeds to ravish her with lots of “habib’s”….
Tally is besotted with the whole romantic desert adventure and the desert hero!!!

They overcome all the obstacles placed in front of them and in the end….find true happiness together!!!!
I did not exactly hate the two characters but all the drama just got too much for me.

An okay read but not a reread for me.
