The Desert King's Pregnant Bride (Harlequin Presents Extra) Review
Trapped by desire and something else, you won't want to miss The Desert King's Pregnant Bride!
Sheikh Khalid Bin Shareef and Ms. Maggie Lewis were like "two star-crossed lovers" when they met one dark, blustery and rainy evening. They were meant to be but they didn't know it; not at the time they first met nor did the handsome sheikh realize it until it was almost too late! Even taking into consideration how they were both raised, the emotional obstacles they needed to overcome; they were meant to be....lovers.
Maggie was upset, soaked to the bone and realized what a fool she'd been in wanting to take her relationship with her boyfriend a step further. It was like a slap in the face when she found him in the arms of another; she flees, stumbles and is rescued by a handsome stranger who she later finds out is visiting royalty. Khalid persuades Maggie to take a ride from him and upon close inspection sees that she's troubled; instead of taking her home he takes her to the lodge where he is staying while visiting Australia. He's determined to soothe her by getting her warm and dry clothes, just talking to her to reassure and comfort her. He realizes he might be in trouble because he finds her attractive and she intrigues him; he wants to protect her and more.
Khalid hasn't felt like this since his wife died 8 years ago and it disturbs him. While soothing and holding Maggie, things change and they act upon their attraction to each other (I call it fate). She gives Khalid the greatest gift of all, her virginity. However, the next morning she's determined to leave while Khalid sleeps; when he awakes and finds her gone, he's determined to see her again! On top of everything, his brother dies and Khalid is forced to return to his country and become the ruler.Maggie felt foolish and stupid that she was so trusting. She'd never felt loved......her father used, rejected and over worked her; her mother left and took her younger sister when she was very young. She had no sense of belonging, of being loved, self confidence as a woman, or that she might be desired by a man. It was painful to read about Maggie's childhood. However, that one night in Khalid's arms, and their passionate love making would stay with her for a lifetime, she was sure of it!
As for Khalid's youth, his father was selfish; he only cared about his mistresses and Khalid's half brother which left Khalid on his own to forge his own future because he was not heir to the throne. Khalid married young; a few years later his wife died. He's vowed never to give his heart again. He desires Maggie, wants to see her again and arranges for her to travel to Shajehar on the pretence of purchasing horses. It's an accident which causes Maggie to be seen by a physician and later they both learn she's pregnant with his child. He's determined they will marry, she agrees because they are both committed to giving their child support, love and stability, something neither of them experienced when they were growing up. However, Maggie questions if she can live without love knowing Khalid is still mourning his dead wife?
The Desert King's Pregnant Bride was a moving, touching and very enjoyable love story set in a progressive country with its people accepting Maggie as their queen. Watching Maggie grow as a person, taking language lessons, meeting with the women of the village, promoting education, and bonding with Khalid's relatives, lovely!
As for this handsome Sheikh Khalid, his protectiveness and tenderness towards Maggie was incredibly sweet. Yet one wanted to shake him because he held on to a ghost, his dead wife. He was afraid to give his heart and you'll cry for him because it's obvious he adored Maggie.
This was a fascinating book to read. Their passion burns with their strong desire for each other. Annie West pens a wonderful romance novel with The Desert King's Pregnant Bride this being her third sheikh book. I think my favourite parts of this love story were watching Maggie grow, feeling more confident as a person, and taking charge of her life. As for the sexy sheikh.....his tenderness, his concern and desire for Maggie and reading about how he was brought to his knees! Thanks Annie for another wonderful story.....I felt as if I were in your lovely home country, Australia and the beautiful desert!
