Title: Similar story I read durings the 1980s....
Review: Interesting read, but as I read the book, I realized it was the same story, that was published as a paperback (Maybe Harlequin?) romance novel that I read back in 1981 or 1982. Main thing I remembered was that the cover had an elaborate illustration of a redhead dressed as an haremgirl being seduced by an sultan. Back then it was titled something like "The Bas_Khan?" but the story line focused more on the relationship of the Sultan's parents mainly his mother (who was an Irish girl that was kidnapped), and later her struggle to get free of that world and thwart the Russian vixen's power grabbing plans.
Is the review positive or negative?
