He is the only man who can save her son's life. Not because of his skill, but because Kal is Patrick's father...

ok

I think there should be a special award for blurb-writing. Because I read this book's blurb and I couldn't resist the temptation of the desert, the sheikh-doctor, the secret child in peril...
Unfortunately the book doesn't live up to the few sentences on the back of it...Or the cover picture of Nathan Kamp as the sheikh. *big grin*

After fifteen years of separation, all Nell had to say to the father of her son was "Hello, Kal", which didn't strike me as something a woman who's been pining for a man for that long would say.
The sheikh who was supposed to be hot-blooded and passionate (isn't that the stereotype these days?) was so-so and his anger at what he saw as Nell's betrayal soon grew old and bothersome...

And we're supposed to believe that these two strangers at best who happened to have a hot affair more than a decade ago that ended in a child, could clear things between them with just a few sentences (which is exactly what happened at the end of this story)? Sorry, didn't buy it.

"I can hear your laugh when I'm out here...In the city there's too much noise to hear it, but out here I see you running down the sand hills, laughing at the sky and I can hear the joyous sound of it. Is that love, Nell?"

If only there was an epilogue.

Nell and Khalil went to school together and became lovers fourteen years before. She knew he could never be her's. He was destined to marry someone else. But now she needs his help. She had his son back then and now to help save her son she must confront his father. Secrets will come to light but will all be 'golden'? Will he keep his son and send her back? I have read several books by Meredith Webber and this is one of my favs to reread again.
