This was my first experience reading a Harlequin Presents. I was curious about the line having heard so much about it but never having read for myself. I am a fan of sheikh stories in general, so it looked promising. I thought the story had a lot of potential, and I liked the hero and heroine. But I found the story high on internal monologue and low on character development. I was also surprised at the degree of head-hopping, including changing point of view in back-to-back sentences within a paragraph, though I did eventually get used to it. Overall, the novel had entertainment value and was a fast read.
