Publisher's Summary:
The fabled desert kingdom of Zulheina was Tariqs birthright, and he was a man who held tightly to what belonged to him. And that meant he had to reclaim a very special woman - the woman who had broken his heart years before in New Zealand. And once he had lured her to this distant land, he meant to keep his new bride here forever.
But Jasmine Coleridge was not as easily tamed as he had imagined. Her beguiling blend of untouched innocence and dazzling sensuality threatened, once again, to bring the haughty sheikh to his knees - and made him wonder who was the true prisoner.

Great One Nalini
I really enjoyed this one from Nalini Singh. While it is not in her normal writing style, she does a great job with it. An interesting begining and while most romance readers can guess the ending, it's the trip you take to get there that makes it worth listening to.
Strangely intriguing...
I am not sure if I hate this book or I like it-- maybe it needs a second read. Its obviously an early work by Singh, as her style is much more immature and does not have as much depth of character as her Psy/changling books. But the overall plot and characters somehow still fascinated me-- i am not sure why! The hurried chapter 1 "wham bam" arranged marriage was weird, and kinda creepy, but after that it was like they were dating! They interacted like they just met-- although they supposedly had been close years before. I have listened to much worse and this never made me want to chuck my iphone across the room, so i am giving it 3 stars-- that three is probably on the low end of 3.
Wonderful Audible Read!
Where does Desert Warrior rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far?
The story itself is not as great as other audible books I love. But the bit of music and the fabulous narration by Layla Ives made it come to life! Layla's use of accents and inflections were wonderful and made the story rush by with the excitement of sitting in a movie theater.Really Great.
Who was your favorite character and why?
Jasmine. Her growth throughout the story and her strength.
Which character as performed by Layla Ives was your favorite?
Tariq.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Absolutely.
Any additional comments?
Again, I loved the job Layla Ives did. Her use of accents in acting out the book kept me glued to it. In some audible books it takes a second to figure out who is saying what because narrator is simple reading it in a monotone voice.But I was always certain of plot and who was speaking by Layla's beautiful and varied accents. I actually looked for her name as narrator with any other books to buy because this was so delightful.My enjoyment of this book was mostly due to the excellent narration! I loved it.
