Rating: - Captivating!
As You Desire is a lovely book. Connie Brockway's evocative writing captures the reader's attention and her mix of humour, sensuality and intrigue keeps you riveted page after page. There is more than a little of the poet in Ms. Brockway I feel.

The characters of Dizzy and Harry are delightful and one feels immediate empathy with them both, wishing for their love affair to take flight! Although I wasn't expecting to enjoy the Egyptian setting for the book, Ms. Brockway works her magic ... Read More

An impulse buy that paid off hugely!! I love Harry and his Dizzy - not only does the narrative inspire a poignancy long-lost to chronic romance readers (yes, guilty), it breathes adventure, exoticism and yearning. The interjection of psuedo-Arabic love poetry, the immensely romantic seemingly-unromantic hero and a spectacular setting culminate in my romance 'fix' of the year. I bought it on Saturday, today is Tuesday and I've reread it 4 times now. What more could you 'desire'?

Rating: - Humor and adventure-- you can't beat that.
I really loved this book from the opening scene with the heroine in melodramatic (and slightly drunken) histrionics to the hero who is part bravado and part insecurity. Brockway has written a fast paced and highly entertaining story that is full of laughter but with just a touch of pathos in its dyslexic hero. A definite keeper.

Rating: - Fast-paced and interesting
I have never read this author before, but I will now. It has been a long time since I enjoyed a romance novel, they were all starting to be the same. I was tired of reading the same thing I read 7 years ago. I found this book to be thrilling, wonderful and funny. If you like to be entertained, instead of bored to tears by the usual, buy this book.
