In the heat of the desert, a scorching love rises between a restless viscount and a beauty in disguise in this novel by a New York Times-bestselling author.   Desperate to find safety in England, Zenia, the descendent of the Queen of the Desert, dresses herself as a Bedouin boy. For protection, she agrees to guide Arden, the Lord of Winter, through the wilds of her dangerous desert homeland as he searches for a legendary Arabian mare. Consigned by her mother to live disguised, Zenia hasn't the courage to admit her sex to Arden. Yet, as they cross a merciless desert, she comes to yearn for this fearless, untamable man to know the feminine heart beating beneath her Bedouin rags.   Lord Winter's loneliness and adventurous spirit have always driven him to the empty, brutal places of the Earth. With Zenia at his side, his loneliness recedes. One night of terror will bind their souls together, but when the princess escapes her homeland for the comfort and safety of England, his yearning will lead him to invade her sanctuary . . .   The Dream Hunter is a suspenseful, adventure-filled tale that establishes Laura Kinsale as "the gold standard in historical romance" (Lisa Kleypas).  … (altro)

    Indiscreet (Berkley Sensation) di Carolyn Jewel (feeling.is.first)
    feeling.is.first: Both books are set in the Middle East in the 19th century, and make full use of the dangers and attractions of travel. They are both "road romances," with resourceful, intelligent heroines.

Honestly, this book is wild. And entertaining. And narrated by Nicholas Boulton, and though all her characters make one want to kick them in the head at one point or another... And all her heroes are quite lickable, this book had a higher "wish to kick" ratio than I've previously read. Particularly the heroine. Egads. I got it. And we had that wonderful benefit of knowing the hero's thoughts on her, but egads.

Zenia tested the limits of my patience. So kudos to Arden for sticking that out. But also, he had a knack for making it all worse, so there's that. I mean, they're Kinsale characters. They are a couple of nicely written disasters.

As usual, it's all beautiful and atmospheric and romantic, but what melted me right down to nothing is the father-daughter relationship. They share their spirit, and it was fabulous...3.5 & rounding uppity up bc NB earns his own damn star. ( )

Really 3.5 stars. There was this really cheesy part at the end and the heroine really bugged me at times. ( )

This was an accidental re-read, it wasn't until I was about a quarter of the way in that I realized I had read this one before. I couldn't bring myself to finish it the second time around. Zenia is such a pill, despite Kinsale's efforts to make her actions understandable. ( )

This book was pretty tense. The two main characters have a few whoppers of misunderstandings. The cross-dressing element in the book is relatively minor, and the dressed-as-a-man disguise comes off in the first fourth of the book. I did enjoy it, and it kept me up late finishing it because I was on the edge of my seat! ( )

Once again, Laura Kinsale writes a great non-typical romance. Lord Winter is your bored aristocrat hero who takes a commission to find a rare arabic horse in North Africa. There, he meets Selim, who is the only one left in the house of a dead English adventuress, and uses him as a guide in the desert. Adventures and dangers ensue, but I don't want to say anymore than that so I don't give the plot away. Readers of romance will recognize that the novel seems to follow the typical and overused plotlines of the genre, but Kinsale somehow is able to twist them and make them feel new. Possibly, it's because her heroine isn't a normal romance heroine, she's more of an underdog and realistic. The romance actually has a real conflict, rather than your normal comedy of misunderstandings. It was nice to read a romance that was actually based in the Middle East and the desert. ( )
