A rising star in the modeling and acting fields, Mallory Robbins, is captivated by Drew Stevens, the most beautiful man she has ever seen after he helps her out of an embarrassing entanglement with a drunken, would-be suitor. Her attraction for Drew is so great that she uncharacteristically spends that night joyously and blissfully making love with her newfound dream lover—only to be later kidnapped, along with Drew and whisked to some unknown location.
The next morning, Mallory awakes having no memory of her whereabouts or the events leading to her being there. Enduring a severe headache, she becomes absolutely terrified when she catches a glimpse of herself in a dresser mirror wearing the authentic coverings, including a veil, of a devout Muslim woman. Things become even more confusing when a young woman, also dressed in traditional Arab garments, visits Mallory and informs her that she has been brought there to become Saudi Prince Ali’s fourth wife. WHAT IS GOING ON?
Thus begins a bizarre and sensuous odyssey, in which Mallory is scheduled to marry a Saudi Prince and Drew is in danger of being beheaded for soiling the Prince’s fiancé.
Author’s warning: There is a scene in Legs, which includes a flashback to a gang rape.

From the moment Drew and Mallory connect in the bar, to the hair-raising kidnapping, I was hypnotized with the charisma of the storyline and the characters. Dee Dawning knows how to create an action-packed story that explodes. With intrigue, sensual passion, and a bit of mystery, all blended together, not to mention, just the right spots to include some witty little remarks, he crafts a most splendid read. Mallory and Drew are absolutely captivating together. The in-depth secondary characters add great appeal to the movement of the story. I really hope he plans a sequel or a series. Legs is definitely a recommended read in my book.rnrnReviewed by: Linda L. Fallen Angel Reviews
Tammie King (Friday, 16 May 2008) Rating: Legs by Dee Dawning is an action packed hot as hell read that will have you hitting the bar scene. Mallory Robbins is a model and known for her legs. Her legs are even insured. For several weeks she has been meeting her friend Paige at JoJo’s bar. It’s not the type of place Mallory would normally hang out, but it’s the place her friend’s boyfriend likes. So, to keep Paige company Mallory has been going to the JoJo’s “meat market”. rnrnOne night she is given a very interesting business card that piques her interest. Along with the card she meets a super hot guy. The next morning she finds a gun in his belongings and things get interesting. She is drugged, kidnapped and awakens wearing the clothing of an Arab woman. Her man Drew is nowhere to be seen. She is told that his other name is Kalid and he is to be beheaded for defiling her. She is to be married to a Saudi Prince and she has no choice. Will Mallory find a way to free Kalid? Is Kalid a good guy or a bad one? What will Mallory do to free herself from her Arab prison?rnrnLegs was a fun, hot and fast read that left me needing several glasses of super cold ice water. The scenes are scorching and the characters well defined. Dee also included a whole cast of characters that I just came to understand and root for. Mallory’s friend Paige was one character that I would like to see in a sequel. Paige deserves her own story. So, if you like action and a constantly evolving plot read Dee Dawning’s Legs, but don’t forget to have your water pitcher near by.rn
