    Ruling Sheikh, Unruly Mistress by the very talented Susan Stephens was definitely Cinderella/Prince love story but an unusual one.

    I'm not sure I can pinpoint why I felt this way but it's definitely a different sheikh romance. There's a lot of interaction and dialogue between the two main characters Razi and Lucy and they are as different as night and day. Razi is the love them and leave them playboy prince but now it's time for him to take the throne and he wants one last fling. His country, his brother and friends are very important to him but duty comes first.

    As for Lucy Tennant, she's English born an accomplished chef at one of Razi's exclusive skiing chalets. She's sweet, innocent and bright but lacks self confidence. Immediately Razi or as he calls himself Mac, seduces Lucy and brings her and introduces her to intimacy she never dreamed of and stirs unbelievable emotions. This couple are so different from each other one can't imagine how explosive their affair is and how it abruptly ends.

    Lucy finds out she's expecting their baby and decides to travel to Razi's desert kingdom. Their meeting is explosive, their time spent together in the desert amazing, seeing their twins sonagram beautiful and sorting out their future emotional to say the least. Its East meets West, compromise and understanding the past in order to have a future. It's simply beautiful!

    Author Susan Stephens weaves such an emotional, sensual and roller coaster romance set in the magical desert with such passion and hope for the future , a magical romance you won't want to miss.

    This was better than the last book I read by this author but still not the best. Considering that, I think I am done with Ms. Stephens. It seems all her heroes want the love of their lives as their mistresses. I would not care if they were unsuitable to the throne by their birth if you really cared for someone. This hero took the heroine to the harem, which was empty, but also where his mom lived. When he realized that he would be effectively treating her like his mom was treated, he went to correct any assumption that she would not be his bride. He did decide VERY fast to make her his bride and not mistress so he got points there but he even thought he loved her before they separated but then thought it again later like it was the first time he thought that which was weird. Oh well, it was decent.

    I have read nearly every Harlequin Presents book written since 2000. I love a good romance and expect a plot line (which ends with a child or children) to start with a hot passionate affair, tension throughout the middle, and a climax that resolves to a fairy-tale ending where mommy and daddy raise the little munchkin(s).

    RULING SHEIKH, UNRULY MISTRESS started out with a lot of sexual tension in the beginning, which to some will seem like a great beginning. For me, the way this story was carried out truly seemed unrealistic. Ordinarily, as a Harlequin reader, I have no trouble allowing for the the characters to get away with doing some things that they could never pull off in reality. Some of these I just couldn't excuse. Maybe if the gorgeous hunk hadn't been a sheik, I could allow for some wiggle room, but his actions just aren't plausible. Regrettably, I couldn't enjoy it because it just seemed too unrealistic which really ruined the focused plot, though had a lot of potential.

    My biggest problem is I couldn't believe how quickly they fell in love. While I'm thrilled I didn't have to read five chapters of him claiming how much he didn't love her and could never- but then does after she nearly dies from some freak accident- there is no way that there love could have developed as quickly as was written. And with Harlequin, we all know they meet one day and are happily married five days later, so it is expected that love is going to develop quickly. But those books actually have events and dialogue which allow for a quick, developing love.

    I believe that the other review can be misleading. If you can excuse the implausibility of the storyline, accept that they really fell in love, and forgive the poor climax then you will probably love the "fairy-tale" ending. I certainly didn't; but if you read it, I hope you do!

    Okay... If you like sheiks and near eastern cultures this is for you. I felt the hero Mac or Razi (depending on where he is) was shallow, self interested and not interested in the heroine until she (being strong and courageous) forces him to acknowledge the twins she's conceived. She is what makes the book good, her character is strong and determined, although poor taste in men.

    I had allot of filler moments, and I felt like the story line jumped quite a bit. Overall the story line didn't stand out as anything special to me personally.
