Saturday’s Sweet Savage Love #1

Hi everyone, I’m starting a new tradition of tying up my week with a review of my past seven days here at Canadian Cents & Sensibility and sharing around some Sweet Savage Love of my favourite blog posts.

Why the title Sweet Savage Love? I love cheezy romance novels. Love them. Love them with the passion of a thousand suns. I love them so much that I collect them.  So I’ll also include my favourite cheezy romance novel title of the week. This has absolutely nothing to do with personal finance at all – but it’s fun.

Cheezy Romance Book of the Week: The Sheikh’s Impatient Virgin

It really doesn’t get any better than this one – this is the pièce de résistance of cheezy romances. This is the one that got me started on collecting these literary gems. Here’s the write up:

Set up against her will as a potential Arabian queen for the notorious Sheikh Karim, unworldly Eva has a plan to deter the desert king. She will convince him she’s a modern, sexually experienced woman–and definitely not marriage material–even though she is really still a virgin.

However, the next thing she knows, Eva’s become a bride! And her new husband is having a startling effect on her….She finds herself increasingly impatient; could it be that shy Eva is curious about what lies ahead in the sheikh’s marriage bed?

Happy weekend readers!
