Showtime your review of The Desert King (Throne of Judar #3)
 Danielle The Book Huntress (Winter Frost Queen)
This was my favorite of the Throne of Judar series because we come across a hard, immovable human being brought to his knees with the realization that he did wrong the woman he loved and who loved him. Not that I like to see a person suffer, but this hero does grovel and does brand amends for the horrible way he treated the heroine when he should. He also makes a decision that a power-craving human being would merely brand if he really loves a woman, although he is in no way manipulated or guilted into doing so by Aliyah. This was my favorite of the Throne of Judar series considering we run into a hard, immovable man brought to his knees with the realization that he did wrong the adult female he loved and who loved him. Not that I like to see a person suffer, merely this hero does grovel and does brand amends for the horrible way he treated the heroine when he should. He also makes a determination that a ability-craving man would merely make if he really loves a adult female, although he is in no manner manipulated or guilted into doing so by Aliyah. He was told some things virtually Aliyah that were definitely lies, and his own misgivings and fears based on an event in his past made him push button her abroad.

Aliyah had some personal issues that affected her health and personality, and made it easier for Kamal to believe the lies he was told, and made his rejection even more than devastating. I also loved that Aliyah was stiff in her own correct, and was an incredible queen and this was realized fully by Kamal and those around her. The commencement scene betwixt Aliyah and Kamal was great. She didn't plow into a brawl of mush because of his awesome masculinity. She told him off and didn't dorsum downward from his imperious mode. Bravo, I was thinking. At the same fourth dimension, she fabricated a choice to ally a man she thought she hated for the practiced of her state and his. That took some bravery and emotional strength.

Every bit characteristic of Ms. Gates' novels, the writing is deeply involving and emotional as you see and experience the dear and anguish that her characters experience. There are as well bright descriptions of Judar and its customs and the cute surroundings that its characters inhabit. The wedding anniversary is one of the all-time I've ever read. Information technology practically played like a scene from an exotic movie. The love scenes are scorching and passionate as well. If you are a fan of sheikh romances and want to read a romance with 3-dimensional characters who take an emotional journey from desolation and loneliness to a deep, constant love, you should read this book.

These Sheikh romance books are fast becoming my guiltily pleasure.

This was a great book. Beautifully written and engaging, with a strong plot, richly developed characters, and a spicy romance.

The hero, Kamal, is 1 of the cruelest characters I've read. The things said out of vengeance to Aliyah, the heroine, were down right spiteful. I hated him for at least half the book. However, when Kamal finally learns and accepts the truth about what happened years agone, and how his ain behavior played a role in the situation, he is appalled with himself. I've never read a more contrite graphic symbol.

The simply thing that stopped me from giving this book 5 stars was the Heroine. Although Aliyah is an admirable and likable character, she was a bit likewise snarky and tenacious for my tastes. I also wished for a few more tender moments  betwixt the couple. To assistance offset the predominantly contentious experience of the volume. Other than that, I thoroughly enjoyed this story.

One can bound from the first 1-two chapters to the last two and not lose much of the story. All that wedding preparations, details and woman bonding merely made me skim, skim to get to the juicy part below it all – the h/H and how they'll deal with each other mail the hymeneals. The sudden conflagration of the wedding nighttime was understandable (and I loved the consummation drumming thing!) but and then the story just floated around, non giving us fourth dimension frames, real conversations or actual emotions/thoughts - that foggy treatment which is so abrasive!

The scorching malaise promised by the author never actually materializes - unless you count the past and
a half-dozen'6" alpha male doing a weepy grovel as 'nuff malaise. *blench*
The reason and catalyst backside that brutal severing of their relationship in the past was made out as if someone deliberately set out to toxicant him against her- a royal enemy or conspiracy. So when the actual person gets revealed and the style it happened made the H await weak and tstl imo.
There are hints that she begged and plagued him to have her dorsum after the dumping but I'yard non completely sure. So many things are hinted and whipped up but never given a solid shape.
Her personality bug and medical drug abuse are also treated in a very perfunctory and unsatisfactory way.

The manner 'Khol'e' and 'oaths of divorce' are mentioned so casually was brow raising. Divorce in Muslim/Asian societies and western world cannot be used interchangeably or fifty-fifty synonymously at times. Even mere utterances of these words can exist binding, morally and legally in some muslim societies. That'southward the reason I don't quite enjoy reading these Sheikh stories as they sometimes badger on factuality. Unintentional I'grand sure but there you take it.

OTT, lush, and romantic in the one-time style where passions overwhelm etc and then forth. Honestly, sometimes when I read Olivia Gates I take to look abroad every bit her characters are so overwhelming emotional and wrought with angst I feel like I'k intruding, and THEY ARE FICTIONAL!

Same thing here, but I was disappointed this fourth dimension. The hero, Kamal, is SO in over his head in lust and soul-binding honey with the heroine. Unfortunately, he bought into the idea that not simply was she on drugs but was a slut of the highest lodge. He literally destroys her when he leaves her. That's simply the prologue.

The story picks upwards where they have to marry or the streets volition run with blood in the imaginary kingdom of sheikdom. As usual the wedding ceremony is and so over the top, and, wowza, the wedding night and wedding morning and wedding side by side afternoon are every bit OTT. Kamal slowly grows a brain and thinks that 1000-a-y-b-east he was a little hasty in his assumption that the h bedded the western world.

Once he finds out he is writhing (the discussion writhing is used a lot) in shame and hurting and self-disgust, and all I could call up was Yippee we have a grovel coming on! (view spoiler)[Okay, he grovels and she simply rolls over! This chick has given him red hot heck all along, and at present that he apologizes for ruining her life, drove her to contemplate suicide, she's, "Oh, that's okay!" (hide spoiler)]

There is, of course, more malaise, only personally it'southward a good thing their jobs are hereditary as while both are beautiful and sexy they are seriously lacking in brain cells. Marital advice: double check your assumptions before leaping to your decease.

Information technology was interesting considering she was addicted to prescription drugs because she had been diagnosed with ADHD and they pretty much made her a zombie. He thought she was just an addict. He likewise thought she was a slut, and she wasn't. She had only been with him. He took her virginity and he didn't fifty-fifty know it. This book was very passionate, hot and steamy. I am non going to lie. The scene on the wedding ceremony night where he opens the roof is unbelievable. I actually like the nuptials and the sword fight, the drums, the wedding gown, the dowry presentation, everything except for the hero. Did he grovel, kind of. She forgave him of course. She almost lost her listen when he left and for ii years she was suicidal and anorexic. He was doing hell knows what. I just wish he had been celibate while apart. And then I would have loved it.

I am leaving the four stars for now only I may have to think a fiddling bit about it. It definitely touched me and made me tear up in a couple of places and I loved their passion, just little tiny things are property me back from endorsing information technology whole heartily. And the epilogue didn't move me like epilogues usually practise either. Peradventure information technology should be three......

Seven years afterward, by a series of twists and turns, hero is going to be king and must marry heroine to stop a civil state of war.

The H/h hold to ally, but torture each other with banter, a black hymeneals dress, and lots of sex.
After a few weeks of marriage, the hero has 2nd thoughts nearly his view of the proficient onetime days and discovers the heroine's "friend" lied to him near heroine's promiscuity and drug addiction.
Hero's lamentable. She's deplorable (and pregnant) for an HEA.

The hero in this one had little personality beyond tough guy/sexual athlete. Heroine's drug habit and instability didn't brand a lot of sense. There are a lot of ways to wean someone off the wrong meds without the horrible side effects she suffered. She was a runway model and then an artist, but I never got a sense of her grapheme.

If you're in the mood for a pageant or just want to see how the series ends, then this is the story for you.

Non to mention how the author handled the very sensitive subject area of prescription drug addiction that Aliyah suffered from, without whatever fault of her own, and how difficult and long she'd fought to beat it, to become the magnificent woman who held that lion desert of a man'due south center in her hand.

The Desert King is a memorable love story that I was only sad got published as a category romance. This volume, and the residuum of the throne of Judar books, deserve to be printed in a format to accommodate their magnificence. I hope one mean solar day the publisher realizes this and reprints them equally they deserve.

So you lot liked the first two Throne of Judar books and wanted more. Olivia Gates gives you more in The Desert King. More passion, more angst, more of that fabulous exotic groundwork. And more Hero and Heroine.
Kamal might be the infant of the family merely he's taller and darker and angrier than both his brothers. We've seen a little of that dark side in the earlier books but now faced with his demons we go the full treatment.
The breakdown with Aliyah seven years ago marked both their lives drastically.

Kamal might be the babe of the family just he's taller and darker and angrier than both his brothers. We've seen a petty of that dark side in the earlier books but now faced with his demons we get the full treatment.
The breakdown with Aliyah seven years ago marked both their lives drastically. The ruination of his young dearest affair and the disillusionment involved turned Kamal's life into a dour desert far more than dangerous than the deserts of his home state.
For Aliyah, Kamal's abandonment almost destroyed her fragile sanity, only just recovering from a childhood dependency on misdiagnosed prescription drugs. Having rebuilt her life and recreated herself equally a successful artist, the worst thing to happen was Kamal's re-emergence into her life.
The marriage is required to maintain stability in the region and would be a temporary arrangement to provide an heir.
Until things explode between the ii of them on their wedding night. . So were was I?
Oh yes. Aliyah is certainly no chump and fights every inch of the way but the pair of them play off each other brilliantly with wit and humour showing that the explosive chemical science isn't just in the bedroom. All that needs to happen is for them to get over the mistakes of the past to find a brilliant future. If they don't make too many mistakes in the nowadays.
Olivia manages to pull the most angsty tear jerking moments out of the hat for these guys. I just dear to see a strong man weep and Olivia doesn't mind making her men work for redemption. Of the 3 brothers Kamal has the most to regret and he pays for it. IN the most satisfying possible way.
Being the final we get a dainty piffling epilogue to tidy upwards all 3 families and perhaps a hint of something to come in another series.
Well done Olivia.

Let me become out the things I liked

-The swordfight
-The super hot lovemaking (10/10 on fume scale)
-The cover page, which is a perfect ode to the wedding nighttime
Now the things which made me angry
-The way Kamal was So MEAN and heartless towards Aaliyah, both in the past and present. I really, really wanted to smack him hard in the commencement half
For in one case, can someone check their facts before making assumptions in a book?! I absolutely hated that the H abased the heroine at the fourth dimension she needed him the most..and I loved the moment he realized it likewise. T
There is a LOT of malaise towards the end as the leads do not communicate and a little running away also.

I love the fashion Mrs. Gates so eloquently write her novels, especially this one. I love to devour them and then read them over and over again, slowly, so as to savor them as I dear the intensity and passion in which she limited herself. She is a outset grade authoress and I know her works will be cherished for generations to come.

In this terminal installment of the Throne of Judar trilogy, Olivia Gates pulls out all the stops. Kamal's 2 older brothers have found the loves of their lives and abdicated the throne. Kamal is the only eligible heir left to ally the Aal Shalaan heiress, merely there is one pocket-size trouble. They had an thing 7 years agone, and it ended in disaster.

Kamal is a potent, commanding alpha male who made his fortune outside the royal circles he was raised in. During a business trip to L.A., he met and fell in love with Aliyah, ignoring her reputation and the advice of his counselors. Revelations about her he discovered made cloy and disillusionment overshadow his beloved. The breakdown was heartless and cruel, but fate played a bigger joke on him. He needs to ally Aliyah to stop a civil war in 2 kingdoms.

Aliyah is an ethereal beauty, cheers to her American female parent and Judardian begetter. She grew upwards in the palace,receiving every luxury,but at that place was trouble in paradise from well pregnant family and teachers. At seventeen, she decided to take control of her life. She fled home for America, launched a modeling career, and tried to go a handle on the problem placed on her by well meaning people. Success was at hand until her tragic breakup with Kamal and so life changed. Her once deep abiding dear morphed to hate...hot, numbing, blinding hate.

Now seven years later, she is once more someone'south pawn...two kingdoms,thousands of people, and tribes of the regions. She was not the niece of the king, she was his daughter. All she has to do is be Kamal's wife and his Queen.

A stay in Hell sounded better.

Tin can Kamal and Aliyah lay down their differences to proceed a region at peace? Does their beloved have a chance to survive, or will a loveless, detest-filled marriage and conceiving an heir be their but contact?

Rich description of the surroundings, buildings, and regions give this book a perfect background for this personal tug of war. The dialogue,feelings and thoughts puts the reader completely into the characters' lives. With each revelation of these personal thoughts and feelings, you lot proceeds a deeper insight into their complicated psyche. Passion between them steams from the pages.

I would highly recommend this volume and this series from Olivia Gates. Once again, she teleports the reader to another place and time.

First-class read!

Not one of my favorites of the series. Aliyah and Kamal were lovers seven years ago. At the time, she was withdrawing from a drug habit caused past being misdiagnosed with ADHD. Kamal believed her to exist a drug addict. Since he couldn't deal with the ramifications of her addiction, he decides to ruthlessly end their relationship. This nearly destroys Aliyah. The story opens when they are now forced to marry for a strategic alliance between their two countries.

Not one of my favorites of the series. Aliyah and Kamal were lovers seven years ago. At the time, she was withdrawing from a drug addiction caused past existence misdiagnosed with ADHD. Kamal believed her to be a drug addict. Since he couldn't deal with the ramifications of her habit, he decides to ruthlessly stop their relationship. This most destroys Aliyah. The story opens when they are now forced to ally for a strategic alliance between their ii countries.

I struggled with the brutality of their severed relationship and the fact that Kamal could so hands accept lies about Aliyah. He struck me as a shallow person non willing to accept the responsibility to aid someone he loved. Consequently, I never felt that he deserved the happy ending.

Secondly, the writer went right into a sexual human relationship and focused mostly on the physical versus emotional side of their brotherhood. I couldn't believe or respect a heroine that would have sex after all the pain. It just cheapened everything making their bond experience sordid and shallow. Their professed love for each other didn't feel real. I wished the author had expended more than effort on showing u.s. how they got their relationship back on track exterior of the bedroom.

I would laissez passer on this one.
