Seducing the Sheik

By Carol Lynne

It's a daily battle for Prince Ali Zahar to hold power of Jurru. After two men from Three Partner's Protection are injured while guarding him, there's only one man left who will take on the challenge, Gavin Burk.

With no friends or family, Gavin lives his life volunteering for dangerous missions. He's learned not to get close to anyone and as a result leads a very solitary life, but the passion stirred by Prince Zahar threatens the control Gavin has worked so hard to maintain.

Before Gavin has a chance to come to terms with his desires, he and the prince are forced to take shelter alone, in a hidden fortress, deep in the desert. There, Gavin's control is tested and fails. Life will never be the same for the ruler and his bodyguard.

Reviews for Seducing the Sheik

Another great offering in the Bodyguard series. It was fun to go from the wilds of Alaska to the middle east and back again. The strong feelings between Ali and Gaven were wonderful. All that and and an exploding dumb waiter, too.

Interesting. Parts were good, parts were extremely trite. The whole setup was sort of silly. Mostly what turned me off was the extremely formulaic overall feel, with everything happening in its place and no surprises at all, especially in the sexual progression. It felt mechanical rather than sensual

I really liked this newest instalment of the "Bodyguards in Love" series.

The sheikh, Ali, needing rescue for once, and the strong bodyguard, Gavin, there to protect and save him was a fun, interesting upside-down version of all the "usual" sheikh fantasies - in both het romance and the few that I'm aware of in m/m. Add the complication of Gavin's past, some intrigue from the side of the sheikh's family, even the CIA, and off you go.

The love that grows between the twom main characters kept me turning the pages as much as the mystery of who exactly was trying to kill Ali. The reappearance of some of the characters from earlier volumes in the series was also very welcome. I look forward to the next volume!

I knew it couldn't have been Ghazi, since the next book is his. I wasn't expecting who it was, but I should have. Who else would care?
