Review

"5 stars Another sheik for me to drool over. I will have to warn you though, these brothers are mine. Sorry peeps but I claim all of them. Sheiks are a very big weakness for me and my guiltiest pleasure when it comes to heroes in a book. Shocked you? You shouldn't be since I'm such a tropy reader. The tropy the better. Bring it.
Anyway, I will have to say that this book is much more action orientated. Not much in the smexy times but when Zafir and Jade kiss, it's like lightening in a bottle. You can feel the connection and the HEA that they both deserve. One of the things that I loved about Zafir that has much as a playboy that he is, he fell hard for Jade. It was almost like love at first sight but it made sense. He had already read everything about her that he could before he even met her and I actually liked that. I know, it goes against the grain of instant love but with him, it wasn't. He just knew you know.

Jade is such a bad*ss in this book. She is fearless, completely unaware of her appeal to Zafir. She just wants to do the job. Code white is what they called it but it quickly turned to red in a heartbeat. And the person they were protecting was a hoot. Stanley is a complex character that takes awhile to get to know but peeling those layers is fun. I also liked how Ms. Kennie made Stanley human. The dogs...

Like I said, this book is clocked full of action and it never stops. It seems like they are constantly on the run and the end climax left me breathless. I also liked seeing Talib and Emir. I can't wait to get my hands on Talib's story. If I had one, tiny thing about the book is that I would have liked to have seen or at least heard about Kate. I miss her and I would have like to hear her say something to Fasir when it comes to falling for Jade.

This book has everything. Passion, exotic settings, characters that you can love and swoon over and a climax that I never saw coming. Breathtaking is what this book is." Harley W

5 stars - Neena

"4.5 stars This was an excellent romantic suspense. Jafir has helped run his famous security firm for years. He and his brothers work and have offices around the globe. They hire the best of the best. Jade is an excellent agent and came from the FBI. She has excellent instincts and the ability to work in what is traditionally a male dominated world. Jade is working a low risk job that suddenly becomes extremely dangerous. I received a complementary copy of this book and chose to write a review. I look forward to reading future books by this of especially this series." Margaret M

The winner of Regina’s Writing Award in 2011, Ryshia Kennie’s novels have taken her characters from the depression era prairies in her first book “From the Dust” to a across the globe and back again. There’s never a lack of places to set a story as the too long prairie winters occasionally find her with travel journal in hand seeking adventure on foreign shores. While facing off a Monitor Lizard before breakfast or running through the Kasbah chased by an enraged Water Carrier aren’t normal travel experiences and might never find a place in one of her stories, they do make great travel stories. When not collecting odd memories from around the world, she’s writing mainly romantic suspense and women’s fiction. For more, visit her website at http:/ryshiakennie.com.

Good book. Zafir is in Wyoming filling in at this branch of Nassar Security while brother Faisal is away on a mission. He's at the office when Jade shows up to check the file on her next case before going to pick the man up at the airport. It's supposed to be an easy one - protect a minor Moroccan royal while he's in the US taking nature photographs. Both Zafir and Jade have a bad feeling about the case, even though it looks easy on paper. Those bad feelings are validated when "Stanley" is shot at when they arrived at the apartment complex where he will be staying. Jade calls Zafir for backup, but when he arrives, they discover that Stanley has disappeared.

I liked both Zafir and Jade. Zafir made his first appearance in Sheik's Rule, as Emir's twin brother. Like the other brothers, Zafir is more than just an owner; he is also an active agent. One of the things I liked best about him was that he didn't try to take over the case, but supported Jade as the lead. Zafir also has a reputation as a ladies' man, one who doesn't get serious about anyone. Jade is a highly skilled agent who has a stellar reputation. She is fearless when it comes to doing her job. She can be intimidating when it's called for, but she also has a way of getting through to Stanley, which shows a softer side to her.

I enjoyed watching their relationship develop. There were sparks between them from the moment they met, sparks that weren't unexpected. I found it intriguing that they already knew quite a lot about each other. Jade spent a lot of time reading up on Zafir's cases, learning his methods, and getting to know the professional side of him. Getting to know the man himself was an unexpected bonus. Zafir also read up on Jade before she came to the office to start her case. He was intrigued by what he saw in her files. He did not expect the kick of attraction that he felt when he met her. Zafir fought hard against his feelings for Jade. He never planned to fall for one woman. By the time they ended up in Morocco, he was a goner. I loved his big moment at the end.

The suspense of the story was terrific. I felt Jade's frustration when she first met Stanley. He was obnoxious, whiny, and selfish, and she wasn't sure she wanted to deal with that for the two weeks. Things went from bad to worse when someone started shooting at them. Jade had to worry on two fronts: keeping Stanley under control and keeping them safe from the shooter. Zafir's arrival and their subsequent discovery of Stanley's escape increased the tension. Because of the attack, Jade and Zafir are confident that something is going on that they weren't told about. I enjoyed the complexity of discovering the motivations. I liked seeing them confront Stanley and make him understand the problem. News from Morocco complicated the issues. A different side of Stanley began to come out, making him more likable. Once they got back to Morocco, the action ramped up quickly. I was on the edge of my seat as the final confrontation grew closer. It was intense and a nail-biter until it was over. My heart dropped at what happened to Jade, and I ached for Zafir and the guilt he felt.

This book was VERY good! It was well written with enough mystery and suspense with the right time for the romance portion.

I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review. I loved this book as part of the Desert Justice series. The characters were hot and tight and fun to read about. I especially loved a minor character, Stanley, who becomes more and more important as the story continues- it is interesting to see how he grows in addition to the love story that is central to the story. I have already read book 1 and book 3 and am really looking forward to book 4. A new favorite author!
