Falling for the Sheik

by Carol Grace

Desperate to turn her life around, nurse Amanda Reston swore off big city E.R.'s and powerful, deceptive men. Surely working private duty in placid Pine Grove would provide peace of mind...
Alas, Amanda's first patient proved impossible-impossibly handsome, impossibly rich and impossibly impatient to recover from his skiing injuries. Difficult, demanding, yet maddeningly attractive, Sheik Rahman Harun imperiously installed Amanda in his posh ski villa-and seductively insinuated his way into her heart. Yet Rahman was royalty...while all Amanda had to offer was TLC. When he had recovered, would Rahman leave her with a broken heart or would he take a chance on the love of a lifetime?

Entretenido

Me gustó pero el final fue muy forzado y ciertos detalles estaban de más, se los pudo ahorrar y hacer un mejor final

[Erin *Proud Book Hoarder* · Rating 3 out of 5]

The story was good but needed to be further fleshed out. Since the length was generous for this type already, maybe shortening the build up before they got to the house. Both characters are likeable, although I don't understand why they have such a great connection with such little interaction, but that happens a lot with books such as these. The hero was a bit lackluster to me but the heroine works well enough. No humor and no steam but Gregor is talented with writing technique. Overall, the story was a good one, the writing worked, the characters are fine, but it still falls a little flat and needs some kind of spark lit under it.

La historia iba perfectamente bien hasta los últimos capítulos.
Pareciera que la escritora se canso de adentrarse mas en la vida de los protagonistas, lo que la llevo a sacar un anillo de la nada en la ultima página...solo para que supiéramos que terminaron juntos y todos los lectores vivieran felices para siempre.
Tan lamentable.
