Summary: I have read it twice!! - Laura Taylor
Comment: Yasamin Kama Begum, later angelicized to Jasmine
de Marisco comes to life in this edition to the "Sky O'Mally Saga." While this book is decidedly more mild in comparison to Bertrice Small's other erotic writings it is no less tame. The story opens with our heroine narrowly escaping an incestious relationship with her brother. Later Jasmine becomes involved with the future king. In between there is much love and lust and scandals to keep you turning pages. "Wild Jasmine" touches all my emotions. If you like to laugh, cry, and yell in anger at the characters in the books you read then "Wild Jasmine" is for you!

Summary: Stripes: the romance novel
Comment:
Ok, I hope everyone reading this has seen the movie "Stripes." "Stripes" begins wild and hilarious, but then an assanine plot is introduced and the movie goes to pot.
Such is the case with "Wild Jasmine." This book starts out great. Yasaman is a young girl who is pursued by her half brother, Salim. She is still young and innocent, he is a lusty monster. Their incestuous moment together is one of the most sensual passion plays I've ever read. Yasaman goes on to marry another man and their relationship is fiery, passionate, and beautiful. Yasaman reveals herself to be very strong-willed and complex.
After her husband dies, the book turns bad. She has a succession of husbands/lovers that also die. The book focuses on sex and lust at the expense of character development. Yasaman grows up far too suddenly and loses her fiery qualities.
I could not give this book a one because I enjoyed the beginning far too much. This book and its heroine had such promise and potential. The later developments soured my feelings toward them both. However, the first part was extraordinarily delicious and shouldn't be missed. I recommend that Beatrice Small/historical romance fans read the first part of this book and then return it. Make up your own ending, its much more fun. Yasaman was a great character, but Ms. Small couldn't take her anywhere. The Skye O'Malley saga has finally run out of steam and Ms. Small can only write about sex -- even that is old and tired. Romance novels require more than just sex to keep my interest. I believed that "Wild Jasmine" was going to be a well-rounded book, but I was greatly disappointed.

Summary: Wild Jasmine
Comment: Wild Jasmine was the first book I read by Ms. Bertrice Small and I was in awe. From the first page I was transported to 17th century India and England. From the little girl to the young woman that married her Prince. I was upset with her half-brother, Salim. I cried when she lost her 1st husband, Prince Jamal. Her life was filled with trials and tribulations to make her a very strong woman that is portrayed in this book.
