Really good start to a new series. One of those books that once you start you can’t put it down. Princess Ilara has been lied to by her corrupt uncle who has destroyed Ditra her country. Sheik Jabril is the ruler of the Piara the neighboring country and he is going to help Ilara save the country and he will marry her to do so!.

Spoiler for Book 2 of the series..This was a very good book. It was full of heartache (for the country), intrigue, romance, passion, some humor. The only real issue I had with it was that I thought it should NOT be the first book in the series. As I read the synopsis for book 2, it talked about THIS book's main male character going missing...which THIS book explains in full. So why is it the first book and not the second?

Love thy enemy
A sheikh story is always full of drama and this one no less when enemies fall deeply in love.
Watch how both Jabril and Ilara try to hide their true feelings from one another.

Like how this first series started with slight introduction of the rest of the H- Alphas. Looks like it’s going to be an interesting series

Great
I liked this story because it is all about a young woman who is left on her own with just a distant uncle telling her lies about stuff back home.

Ilara is such a force of nature and I love that about her. I loved Ilara's character the most.
