So he's sought out Rose, the one person who can translate the document--the American woman he can't forget, and should.

OrderingPublished by Amber Quill Press. ISBN: 1-59279-058-5 (Electronic), 1-59279-919-1 (Paperback) What readers are saying"I truly enjoyed "Tears of the Desert Rose." The
fact that the hero and heroine have a past relationship adds
to the climax of the story. The nonstop action, the suspense,
and the paranormal abilities of the characters is FANTASTIC.
This is a fun, exciting book. I loved it. Don't miss anything
written by Barbara Clark." "This is the fifth book in the series Sons of Wind and Earth. Ms. Clark has continued the paranormal saga with Jahil and Rose. It is a wonderful story woven with suspense, treachery, kidnapping attempts amid the exciting tapestry of the Middle East. Through the eyes of Rose and Jahil you get a glimpse of the customs, mores and foods of that wonderful unique land. Some of the foods sounded so appetizing that one would like to give them a try. This reviewer liked the
paranormal aspects of this story. It was interesting
to see how their special abilities developed as the story progressed.
They discovered new things about themselves and each other.
As
well one got a glimpse of what would happen if two people with
paranormal abilities had children. That was interesting.
If you like the paranormal mixed with an exciting love story
then
this is the book for you!" What reviewers are saying..."The only thing burning hotter than the Sahara Desert is the flame that ignites between Jalil and Rose. As they cross the distance in miles they bridge a gap in the distance to their hearts. The author does a wonderful job of providing vivid descriptions,
three dimensional characters and an edge of your seat tale.
TEARS OF THE DESERT ROSE is book five in the Sons of Earth
and Wind series. From beginning to end, Barbara Clark captivates
her readers with suspense, action and to die for heroes. She
is a truly gifted storyteller and an absolute favorite!" "TEARS OF THE DESERT ROSE is a sweet, enchanting romance. It is also an exciting adventure through the perilous beauty of the desert. Somewhere in her many travels throughout the USA, author Barbara Clark learned to love North African culture, and TEARS OF THE DESERT ROSE is infused with its color and tradition. Her fictional country of Duraza -- snugged in, so far as I can tell, between Egypt and Libya -- is ringed around with traitors and outlaws; threatened, but clinging to its honor. Rose was raised by archaeologists, nursemaided by local servants who taught her their ways. Jalil was trained to the desert by experts. Between them they give the reader the illusion of sharing the wonder and adventure of their trek. TEARS OF THE DESERT ROSE is the fifth book in Barbara Clark's "Sons
of Earth and Wind" series. Every one of the books in this
series has won at least one prize, plus other nominations.
Friends of the series may now welcome another delightful couple.
The delicate, protective love that Jalil and Rose have for
each other, their dedication to taking care of those depending
on them, their determined facing of Fate, all give TEARS OF
THE DESERT ROSE an irresistible appeal." |
