Sahara Kings #3
Sheik's Revenge
No rules. No mercy.
Faith Sinclair never missed a shot — or a kill. But when the mysterious man she knew only as Santiago was in her sniper's sights, the game changed. It had to. She couldn't kill him in cold blood. Not the father of her unborn baby.
Sheik Omair Al Arif's mind was on one thing: revenge. The undercover king didn't bargain on an intoxicating enemy bent on foiling his plans. And when the two would-be foes joined forces, they discovered nothing was as it seemed - their identities, their missions and especially the flames burning between them.

Fast-paced, high-stakes, emotionally compelling romantic suspense. I don't know how the author packs everything into such a short story format.

This was a excellent book. I loved the suspense, action and romance that was packed into this story.
Faith Had been sent to Columbia on a undercover mission. She is a trained assassin for the U.S. military. While she is waiting on the mission to go down she is working as a barmaid in a small bar. Sheik Omair Al Arif who posed as Santiago had a mission of his own. he wanted to find who was responsible for trying to kill his entire family. That mission lead him to Columbia. He often found himself staring at the beautiful barmaid. He was on a mission so he couldn't let the sizzling attraction between him and faith lead anywhere. That all changed when he suspected Faith had the answers he needed. The two shared one hot and steamy night together that changed Faith's life forever.
Someone set Faith up, to hang her out to dry. Her mission was to eliminate Santiago. He was a international terrorist. That was the information she got from her handler. Could her informant be wrong? How can she pull the trigger and kill the father of her unborn baby?
I like to leave samples of the book, but I don't want to spoil any of this book for you. Trust me, this is a book you will enjoy.

I received a copy of this book from the Goodreads First Reads Program.
I'm not a huge fan of romance books but I enjoyed this book more than I was expecting to.
It is well written and fast paced and the characters are far more complex than I've previously found the protagonists of romance novels!
I enjoyed the mutual distrust the two main characters had for each other. It made the story line seem much more feasible than if they had just fallen for each other straight away.
The epilogue made the book end on an intriguing note which makes me want to read the rest of the series!

GOODREADS FIRST READS WIN: I won this book on goodreads and am so glad I did. I will admit here and now that I have never even LOOKED at Harlequin Romance books, and didn't realize this book was a HR until it arrived. I laughed (literally) and told my husband, "Look, it's a Harlequin romance book and I don't read these," but I really enjoyed reading this romantic suspense novel by Loreth Anne White. I stayed up until after 1:00 a.m. to finish it, eyes crossing and all.
The book was mainly about two characters and their interactions with one another. Their dialogue is believable and the suspense regarding who they are and what they do, etc. was keeping me on pins and needles. I love a GOOD suspense, one in which you have to keep reading in order to find out for sure, even if you think you know the answer.
This book changed my mind completely about Harlequin Romance. I think it was the suspense that I liked so much and the romance parts were very realistic, not overdone, so the balance was good.
I also liked the pace of the plot line. I never really found myself saying, "All right...will you get to the point?"
If you've been like me and pre-judged Harlequin Romances, read this book! It changed my mind and opened me up to a new genre; maybe it'll do the same for you.
Thank you, Loreth, for this book! Thanks for the win, the autograph, and a book that made me fall in love with romantic suspense. I'll be looking for more of your books in the future. :o)

Good book. Even though I haven't read the first book in the series I was able to slide right into the story. This is the first book I've read where the heroine is a paid assassin. The concept was very interesting. Faith was following her orders the first time she saw Omair, and knew she'd be gone the next day. So she gave in to her desire and had a one-night stand with him. Eight weeks later she saw him again - through the sights of her rifle. She found that she couldn't pull the trigger - then someone started shooting at her. When she ran, she ended up being caught by Omair. While his captive he told her things that made her doubt the orders she was given. Meanwhile, Omair was given the chance to get to know the woman he hadn't been able to forget. The more he learned about her, the more he came to care. They also came to conclusion that she had been set up. I loved the way that Omair took care of Faith, even as he held her captive, and how he was so impressed with her capabilities. Faith was slow to trust Omair, but when she did she was totally convinced. I'm looking forward to the next book in the series and seeing how they get closer to catching the bad guy.

Ok, this book is a little farfetched and it has so many elements that stumble one in to the other, that sometimes its hard to follow, when there's the previous story of the family, not enough on her story, i little intrigue in the mix. Its not a stand alone book, one really has to read all the books in the series to understand the whole building of intrigue. Once its read as a part of a whole it makes much more sense.
I do not like the fact that its so cavalier about some things (which i wont write because i really can't spoil it for you), but considering how tough the lead female character is, much more could have been achieved on her story.

3.5
The reason I didn't rate a 4 was that the multiple povs seemed off for some reason. I haven't read that many suspense either nor the first book of this series but I do normally love multiple povs in some paranormal romances. I also have to say that if you don't like major cliff-hangers then wait another month for the next installment in her Sahara Kings series to come out. I hope that one will answer the left open questions but I'm guessing this will only be a trilogy.
Romance-wise, I would have preferred a little more oomph along the way.

i love the story, it's make me want to know what will happen next, but i must read the next installment before i know what will be happen with the enemy.
I love both of Heroine and Hero, they have strong character and loyalty.
The heroine is not weak woman, she is female sniper in the U.S. Army, and the hero though he is a prince but he have military skill.
The hero care so much to the heroine though the hero not yet now the real identity of the heroine and why the heroine want to kill him.

I liked all the action, never a boring page. It was a quick read. I liked how it tied in the other series characters into the story. Sahara Kings series.
