"An absolute classic Modern romance from one of the Queen's of the genre. Loved this story – full of exquisite emotion and tension right up until the heart – pounding resolution. Annie is a master of the Sheikh romances and this is one of her best yet. Sumptuous and so emotional. Karim and Safiyah are characters you can almost touch they feel so real. Loved it!" ~ Abby Green, GoodReads
"My plan was to read half of this book before bed and the other half the next night. That didn't happen. I was so engrossed in this story that I stayed up late to finish the whole thing. ... This story is about duty to country, forbidden love, and unknown passion. That makes for a great read. A must read Annie West novel. " ~ Stephanie Z, GoodReads
"This story was an absolute delight to read. The story has passion, intensity, tension and emotion in spades. The combination of a marriage of convenience and a second chance for Karim and Safiyah was perfect and the chemistry between the two characters was explosive. I loved the strength Safiyah showed and her poise and quiet dignity made her the perfect match for Karim, who is totally swoon worthy. The ending was so well written, making all the roiling emotions in the lead up worthwhile." ~ Zeba, GoodReads
"Engrossing" ~ Diane S, Amazon
"You'll be swept up in an adventure before you know it. Enjoy!" ~ Liz, GoodReads
"Demanding His Desert Queen is a romance that you can completely lose yourself in. The writing is impeccable. The storyline is seductive, angsty, and enthralling. Everything about this book screams BESTSELLER! Oh, and the cover is incredibly beautiful. It speaks exactly to the theme of the story. ... This exciting contemporary was one I didn't want to walk away from. I wanted to devour it all over again when the last page was turned. From beginning to end, and everywhere in between this book grabbed a hold of me and wouldn't let go." ~ Lucy, GoodReads
"It was an absolute delight to read, the characters suited each other perfectly and I couldn’t wait to find out how they resolved their past to fall in love all over again. I love a good marriage of convenience romance, and with the added bonus of second chance love—these were perfect for Karim and Safiyah. The chemistry between these two was explosive and really left the reader on edge, but it was interspersed by interruptions of real life, in particular Safiyah’s son. Karim’s interactions with Safiyah’s son were heart-warming and really added that extra touch to his heroic character. Another winner by Annie West containing the perfect level of angst, passion, amazing settings and characters you can’t help but fall in love with." ~ Jayne, Australian Romance Readers Association
"I loved this one ... another one for the keeper shelf" ~ Helen S, Amazon

"I love the story, I always enjoyed second chance romance. Annie West once again proven she is indeed timeless and writes books making them classics. " ~ Xai Xai, GoodReads
