The basic set up for this story is right up my alley. Unfortunately, in my opinion, almost every aspect of its execution missed the mark.
As to the story, the characters were shallow and one dimensional, made lightning fast changes in their feelings, and were far too stereotypical to feel like real people. Michaela is unbelievably rude to Armon, a sheikh visiting England for diplomatic reasons. Everything else we know about her marks this behavior as highly unlikely given how well educated and d...more

This is the first time I have read any of Michelle Hughes work and I loved it. I struggled right along side Michaela, Undecided on whether desire or disgust towards The Sheikh should win, to be honest I am still undecided. I found myself feeling like I was in her shoes, Armon's way of life is so very different to the one I was brought up in that I found myself distraught at times over the things Michaela had to face. There were many hot and steamy scenes in this novella, you may find yourself le...more
Sadly this was not what I expected..If any of you remember Harem? brilliant romance of that type... Well this story was rather confusing as the usage of English terms was strange..The grammatical errors made it difficult to get into the story, as one ended up looking for them instead.. The references to Arab life was strange as I have lived in many Arabic countries and it just did not fit...So I'm giving it 1 star..I very rarely do this...If it was rewritten I might give it another chance. :o)
There is nothing romantic about that book. It started really well, had potential which went down the drain with a disappoinging ending. Don't read if you don't want to be frustrated. To me the hero of the story was actually the villain, a really unlikable character to be honest.
Unfortunately the grammar, english uses and storyline left much to be desired! wish I had not wasted my money.Not worth reading. épouvantable!!!
This was the first time I read this author. It was a quick good read.
