BOOK REVIEW- DESERT ROGUES:THE PRINCESS BRIDE by Susan allery

Desert Rogues: The Princess Bride: A Classic Romance by [Mallery, Susan]
A fan favorite from #1 New York Times bestselling author Susan Mallery, previously published as The Sheik and the Princess Bride in 2004. 

Prince Jefri of Bahania has just been bested...by a woman! And not just any woman, but Billie Van Horn, his gorgeous, take-no-prisoners flight instructor who is more than a match for him in every way.

But when it comes to romance, Billie is determined to keep both feet on the ground. So why does the sexy prince make her feel as if she were soaring high above the clouds? She knows that when royal honor calls, her high-born lover will fly from her side forever...unless Jefri defies his destiny and chooses love...AMAZON  3 STARS


This book was okay.  Charming in some ways but also pretty much predictable as well.  I did like that Billie was a woman quite different than the usual heroine.  Her skills as a pilot was an interesting twist.
I did get almost as irritated as she did with her brother Doyle, who was over-the-top protective.   Sure, there were some reasons but she had grown past those and he needed to step back.  Something she finally calls him on.

Prince Jefri was pretty much what you would expect from a rich prince although he also had some good qualities.  
The details of the palace and how exquisite it was,  were well done, so it added more detail.
I did like the fact that the royal family wasn't exactly what you would expect.  There was warmth between them and also I liked how the King interacted with Billie.
No real surprises in this one for me, so it was just okay.  A light, entertaining story to fill a few hours.
