Even I couldn't stomach this assclown of a hero.

[MisskTarsis · Rating 1 out of 5]

No me gusta la forma en la que escribe la autora, es algo como que no te mentalizas que está pasando. y las escenas cuando están juntos, horrible.

[**Sognatrice di libri** · Rating 3 out of 5]

Una lettura scorrevole e poco impegnativa adatta a cui vuole leggere senza impegno.

Mills & Boon-O-Meter : 2 out of 5

- Meh, forgettable
- tbh, Lucy was pretty dense, running away into the desert, like why girl, why????
- Lucy was a career woman though and not another virgin like the 50million other M&B heroines, which is why this has two stars on the M&B-O-Meter
- Sheikh (I forgot his name, I've read too many and they're all beginning to be the same person) is an asshole but a lightweight asshole compared to the other M&B heroes
- It was another case of main characters not talking about their feelings. It's getting way too frustrating
- It was pretty flat on the steam factor
- dnf, didn't really care about it or any of the characters in it enough

Will love develop when tensions are high!
I was eager to get my hands on this book with the cliffhanger from book 2. I love PJ, the strong female protagonist who is Erin’s bodyguard who takes over the search for Erin along with Talib, the head of palace security. To say there is an insta-attraction between the two would be an understatement. With the kidnapper on the move, PJ and Talib’s plan is to disguise themselves as a couple which leads to some cozy situations. How will it all end, you have to read to find out and don’t expect to put the book down until you turn the last page!

DNF 46%

Was not holding my interest (life/ADHD stuff). Might come back later to finish and save better balanced review.

Chemistry of couple wasn’t holding my interest and the misogyny really bugged me. They have a sexual encounter on their first meeting which somehow doesn’t make her wife material. Hello? You were there too, dude. Gross.
The situation was also due to a situation he fully manipulated. Double gross.

A wonderful love story

I have enjoyed Kahlil and Lucy romance. The story lines were incredibly on the different twist and turn to their final story the love they shared. I would definitely recommend this book to family and friends

[Nikki · Rating 2 out of 5]

Not bad, but bland. Why is the hero upset? She didn't KNOW who you were? So how could she have contacted you? I say read it if you have nothing else lined up.

[Meg Kinch · Rating 2 out of 5]

I was rather disappointed in this book. The 2 stars is for the ending. I liked it, but I did notice not once did Lucy say to Kahlil that she loved him. She thought about it and he told her he loved her, but she never said she loved him. I know it's implied, but I thought it was an important detail that was left out even if she would have said it in the last sentence.

[Tia · Rating 3 out of 5]

I got real frustrated reading this book. Of course it was good but the way the hero commanded the heroine and tried to take away her son made me want to shoot the man.. well lets say..in his foot *cough, cough* The heroine was strong and beautiful. By the end of the book it was a bit more easy to read.

[Tanya Mayes · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was a good read. I loved how the book had all these ups and downs. Sex from the beginning talk about chemistry from the start. The drama of the escape. Kahlil is all Sheikh all duty finds love with Lucy. Now they can gave the family Lucy dreamed of. My one question is where was the condoms no use of birth control at no time

[Alice · Rating 2 out of 5]

It's a harlequin ... you know what you are reading it for, and for that it delivers ... decently. Nothing original here, same song, same dance, different names. Another cookie cutter romance sure to mildly satisfy. (This is my standard review for these very standard books.)

[Umair Sial · Rating 2 out of 5]

This book took WAY too long to get to the points it was trying to make. Forced myself to read it. Only got into it towards the end. Don't really recommend wasting your time with this.
