Book Review By Sandra Calhoune
Delaney's Desert Sheikh by Brenda Jackson

Craving a month of rest and relaxation after graduating from medical school, Delaney Westmoreland heads to a remote cabin in the Carolinas owned by her cousin Reggie. When Delaney arrives at the cabin she comes face to face with a handsome stranger. Jamal Ari Yasir is a Middle Eastern sheikh and the prince of Tahran. In need of a vacation, Jamal graciously accepted his friend Phillip's invitation to stay at his cabin for one month. As co-owners of the cabin, neither Reggie nor Phillip knew that the other had loaned out the cabin. Although neither Delaney nor Jamal wants to stay at the cabin with the other, both agree to stay out of each other's way during their time at the cabin. When a raging attraction sparks between Delaney and Jamal, Delaney finds herself being seduced by the Prince. Prince Jamal is used to women throwing themselves at him and getting all of his needs satisfied.
