Sultans, exotic lands, romance, and lots of weirdness. :P
Why did I read this? Well I needed an author with an x in their name. I wanted a manga to read, but for some reason a lot of people with an x in their name write porn, mmm. *grins* But eventually I bumped into this one and though I was a bit hesitant (due to the Harlequin books banner), I still went to try it out.
But I guess I should have known what I was going to read. I think I once tried a Harlequin book, and instead of swooning like so many woman do, I was just laughing my butt off. This manga is pretty tame, but still the romance is dreadfully silly.
So what did I just read? Ah, yes, some weird, convoluted story about a girl who lost her hubby who was the prince to a country and now his cousin comes by to get a ring and also to find out what happened to said hubby's kid (yes, the MC was pregnant at the time she lost hubby). Add to that a lot of name switcheroo's, tons of family stuff that just added to the drama, and a love story that was just hilariously bad (oh no, I can't love you, I love my dead hubby. Oh wait, no kiss me, hold me, love me, you look so much like my hubby (ouch), oh no this is bad, oh no wait I do love you). Did I mention a missing heirloom and a family story with lots of drama and death?
Ah yes, and a whiny MC who just kept on being dramatic. Really, you would think she is constantly putting up a show.
The ending? Well, I wouldn't call it an ending. Not at all. There is still so much left unsaid. *sighs* It just felt a bit too sudden. Like, oh we are done with x and y. Well *claps hands* story is over!
The art? Typical Shoujo art. Glittering eyes, dramatic scenes, lots of glitter and flowers, handsome people, etc., etc..
I am not sure if I would recommend it. If you want to end up laughing your butt off and grabbing some aspirin (due to the convoluted story), by all means go ahead. :P

It has a nice plot

The ending did not make much sense to me. The ring portion seemed disjointed with how the conclusion was wrapping up. What happened with the kid issue as well? Did the ring make it back? Has the in-fighting stopped? Too many loose ends for a harlequin!
