" Lost to the Desert Warrior" ( Harlequine Presents #3171)

In this book Princess Layla flees a pre-arranged marriage to a demented cruel man who wants to take over the throgn by escaping into the deset and marrying  her fathers enemy Sheik Raz the rightful ruler.

Raz Al Zahki seems to be just as cruel as the uncle sometimes.  He does things that anyone would know is hurtful, and then seems shocked to find out that she is hurt.  For example, he walks out after they have sex witho ut saying anything, and he doesn't come back for days.   I was beginning to feel frustrated by Layla's spineless. lost personality.

  While Layla's character is supposed to be book smart but know nothing about the world, she is still a princess.    I think that even the most timid woman would say something, complain or even make some type of silent protest after being treated this way a couple of times.   In the end, of course, Raz declares his undying love, and they live "happily ever after". 

This was generally a good book, but there was nothing exciting or different about it.  The plot seemed rushed and could have easily been developed into a much better story with a few more scenes and information.

It seemed to repeat the same background information almost as a filler.  The story just kind of unraveled like your shoe laces.  There was no great moments or exciting twists.  The story is fairly predictable and before you know it the book is over. 

If you like a basic "good" story this is it.  It was a quick short read for when you want something to read in a couple of hours.  I have read Morgan's books in the past and I was expecting more.   I'm not sure this is one of Morgan's best works.  I am sure I will give her another read just to be fair.
