Review: Move over Harlequin, there's a new kind of sheikh in town!

More than a Harlequin sheikh, that's for sure!We've all read them. The Harlequin Presents books with the playboy sheikhs and the women that somehow bring them to their knees (a lot of times with their virginity, ahem!), and this book has sort of familiar flavor like that but it is definitely NOT that!It's sexy, it's foodie and it's got sex in an airport for freaking sakes!But what I like most about it is that the tension built slowly and ended much differently than the Harlequin stories do. I find in those that even if the woman runs away near the end, she's always convinced by the sheikh to give in to him and live happily ever after.In Delicious Delay, the battle of wills and wits between these two characters carries through to the last page. There isn't a wimpy damsel who rolls over and gives the sheikh exactly what he wants. No. She's gonna make him fight for every adventurous meal they'll share together and only when she's ready and convinced of his true intentions and her own feelings will she ease her way into a future with him. Of course, he'll do his best to show her the way one rapturous tryst at a time....We get a sexy as hell man and a strong, witty woman in this read and it makes the story taste all the more delicious, in my opinion.
