Book Review: A totally Action packed Sensual Adventure
Summary: 5 Stars

Lady Katherine Smithfield, is in Egypt with her father to complete betrothal arrangements for a marriage promised years earlier between her and a family friend of her deceased mother. He was called Nazim, whom she assumed was some kind of goat-herder and not too thrilled, but she would obey her father's wishes to honor her mothers last dying request. Katherine didn't expect much of the marriage since an accident had scarred her face. She knew, by the looks of revulsion from her peers, that no one else would be offering for her. Unfortunately, the betrothal was the last thing on her mind as Katherine was being blackmailed and forced by unscrupulous tomb raiders to become a thief in order to save her father from being framed for a crime and locked up in an Egyptian jail where she was promised - accidents happen all the time. She instructed to find the man called Ramses and steal the map that he carried on him which showed the way to a gold mine. This man, whose reputation as an incomparable lover, was gloriously handsome and Katherine would have to disguise herself as a veiled Egyptian in order to get close enough to steal the map.

Ramses, aware of his reputation, used it to his advantage, giving as much pleasure as he took, knowing that once he married his dreaded English bride there would be no more dalliances. He was honor bound as a Guardian of the Ages to complete the betrothal process, taking the name of Nazim - and he would also swear an oath to cleave unto no woman but his wife. Before going to sign the necessary betrothal papers, Ramses, was to meet a woman who was looking to breed her mare with one of his famous Arabian stallions. Katherine was using this as an excuse to have Ramses meet her discreetly. After a `double entendre' conversation it was not clear as to which `stud' service she was looking for, but after one kiss that shook her to the core, she almost forgot to steal the map - but with that kiss she stole a piece of Ramses heart.

Ramses, later discovering the map to be gone, knew where it would lead and vowed that they would meet again - his little thief with green eyes. In an attempt to save her from her captors, he would be mortally wounded and she would end up saving him. Through the days of convalescence, alone in a desert cave, Ramses would discover that his enigmatic `lotus flower' was actually his betrothed English bride. He would have his hands full trying to convince her to trust him but his bigger battle would be convincing her that he thought her beautiful and should not hide her face behind a veil.

Wow! This romance was soooo very hot - and I don't mean because of the setting in the Egyptian desert - that it could almost be classified as erotic! Not only was the plot fast paced with plenty of suspense and romance, but the interplay between Ramses and Katherine was fabulously sensual along with the touching openness and honesty of their feelings for one another. The secondary characters were well thought out and the interplay between Ramses and best friend Jabari will make you chuckle, as well as have you running back to the bookstore to pick up Jabari's story in Vanak's first book, the FALCON AND THE DOVE. With this story, Vanak has written a totally sensually satisfying and action packed romantic adventure I highly recommend!
