Synopsis

"Don't look for me. I'll come back when I'm ready." Pandora Madchen wrote those words when she ran off six years ago. In that time she'd become a sensation with the rock group Nemesis, toured the world, and grown up, but she never forgot the promise she made herself. Now Pandora was ready to return to the desert state of Sedikhan and the man she'd loved too soon and too much. Sheik Philip El Kabbar was a businessman whose power and influence extended throughout the world—but for six long years he'd been unable to find the woman he still considered it his duty to protect. She'd come back on her own terms and to take the kind of erotic gamble that Philip always won. Only this time he wasn't sure that in winning they wouldn't both lose what matters most. Or that in loving her, he wouldn't be hurting them both.

About Iris Johansen

Born in St. Louis, Missouri, American author Iris Johansen went through the usual life duties of being wife and mother, until her children left home to attend college. In 1980, she began experiencing success with her writing of category romances. Next, Johansen started writing romance novels that had a historical and a suspense theme intertwined. One such novel was her successful, The Wind Dancer, published in 1991. Then, in 1996, she changed again, this time to crime fiction. To date, that has been her most successful genre. She has had seventeen consecutive New York Times bestsellers through 2006.

Johansen lives near Atlanta, Georgia, and has two children. Son, Roy Johnson, is an award winning screenwriter and novelist in his own right. Daughter, Tamara, serves as her mother's research assistant.

I've read several of Iris Johansen's books, but this one left me feeling very dissatisfied. It's just not in the same standard as any book of her I've read in the past. It felt to me as if it had been written by a beginner.

I don't know. Maybe it would have been better if I hadn't jumped into the middle of the series. I felt like I didn't have time to get to know the characters.......more

Goodreads review by Lorrie on February 23, 2017

I haven't read an Iris Johansen in a few years and her short, fast-paced romances are wonderful. We get Pandora, who leaves the Sheik when she is still young but old enough to understand the passions that run through her, and we have Sheik Phillip, who is the ultimate alpha male, very possessive, ve......more
