World-renowned archaeologist, Dr. Cairo Davis spends most of her time digging in dirt uncovering secrets, hidden things that remind us of a past long since forgotten. Although famous, Cairo is not one for the glitz and glam that infamy offers. She’s not impressed by private jets and five-star hotels. She likes to keep things simple.

Israel Ali, Director of Acquisitions for Ali International, his family’s business, is two sides to the same coin. He enjoys the perks of being one of the hottest eligible bachelors in the Southwest region, women dying to be on his arm, red carpets, five star everything. Yet, Israel is just as happy on an excursion to unearth buried treasure.

An expected encounter brings the two personalities together on a collision course destined for love. Yet, Cairo has a secret she would much rather keep to herself. Israel is determined to unearth the treasure that lies inside Cairo. She resists his pursuits sending the duo into an emotional entanglement that nearly costs them, real love.

….I’m Loving These Ali Brother Stories

I really love the unique story and careers of these characters….Israel meets Dr. Cairo Davis and sparks fly instantly. Dr. Cairo has some medical issues that she believes could hinder future. Israel let’s her know he’s interested and he’s not going anywhere….

Ali Brothers are the truth!

Swooning! 💘 Israel, the smooth brother, always wanted to be married. He just had never met anyone that made him want to take the leap. Meeting Cairo in Australia, he knew she was different. They were immediately attracted to each other, matched intellect, and had interests in archaeology. Cairo, brilliant woman, but was alone due to a painful secret. These two were 🔥 together. Israel was not letting her run, for any reason. They could conquer any and everything together. Was so happy when she was blessed with the gift, she thought she would never receive. Beautiful read! Looking forward to more Brothers Ali. 👍👍👍

Great Read!

I really enjoyed reading this book! I loved the chemistry between Israel and Cairo! I felt her pain with her illness because I suffer the same condition, but I didn't have the same outcome as Cairo did. I think that everyone who reads this book will enjoy it! I definitely recommend it to others!

Love Above All Else 🥰🥰🥰🥰

I really enjoy this book so much Israel and Cairo. Their story was of instant attraction of course. The Ali's are a wealthy family who cares very much about their community. Dr. Cairo also cares about her community together they make a wonderful loving couple. I'm anxious for book 3. Wonderful job with this book.

I loved this book

Okay so the first book felt cut short but this picked up right where book 1 left off. I am glad the subject matter tacklers was mentioned and the fears faced head on and lastly the unwavering love and support of both families! Israel and Cairo’s love endured everything and the greatest reward she could imagine became a dean come true. Looking forward to the next brother!

Great Read

Love this story line addressing the effects of endometriosis. My daughter had surgery with stage four endo. She was given a good chance of conceiving but her time to do so was a short window. She and her husband were blessed with three sons. So as with your story there is hope but if you are not blessed, there is that love of your spouse to help you.

I really enjoyed this novel! Just goes to show that what we perceive is not always true and what the heavenly father has in store for our lives can be totally different! Cairo and Israel had such a strong bond and so much love and look what it resulted in! I look forward to seeing what happens with the other Ali brother's! Great job Celeste Granger!

Destined for love

I enjoyed Isreal and Cairo’s story. Their love was instantaneous and I liked how he loved and cherished Cairo. Cairo’s vision of herself kind of threw me for a loop. I was stressed with her for most of the beginning of the book. But to see her find her strength and worth was something special.

Oh My So Loved This Story

Book 2 picks right up from Basel’s story. This author has the ability to make you cry, laugh, and swoon. This storyline is well worth your time. It’s engaging, entertaining, and so enjoyable. These Ali Brothers don’t disappoint at all. Can’t wait to read the other stories.

Tear jerker

Man this book had me in my feelings. I can so see how Cairo felt less than because I have seen how society makes women feel like they are not successful unless they have children. Glad she finally got her chance

Israel’s story begins with one of my all time favorite romantic scenes, a wedding. Picking up where the first book left off, we find ourselves at the lavish wedding of Basel and Aya (BASEL- The Brothers Ali, Book 1). That scene also displays continuity in the series. The storyline flawlessly transitions from the wedding reception as the hero of this book emerges to present the best man toast and soon after prepares to leave early to depart on an archaeological adventure in Perth, Australia. Enter Dr. Cairo Davis, the supervising archaeologist of the dig. Instant chemistry! Israel is a goner; Cairo is enamored, and they become a couple “caught up in the rapture of love.”
I enjoyed Israel and Cairo’s story, and I recommend it for your reading pleasure. Both BASEL- Book 1 and ISRAEL- Book 2 of the Ali Brothers Series are engaging and refreshing reads. Check them out. You won’t be sorry, and you can thank me later.

Review:

"Israel" by Celeste Granger

My Speculation:

Isreal Ali was one of a kind that genuinely knew what he loved, and that was Cairo Davis. I loved how well she showed Cario just how much she was loved. And in the end not only did Cario get a wonderful person that loved her but... I will stop here and say you will have to pick up the excellent novel that this author gives the reader to see how well it all turns out.

Can't stop fate

Words can not explain when you feel that your incomplete as a women. We feel that we need to marry and become mother's are we haven't fulfilled our duties. My goodness I was so happy for Israel and Cairo they deserved a happily ever after.

loved it

I loved Cairo and Israel. The instant attraction of the souls that defies time and logic. Cairo felt less than a woman but Israel taught her that when you love someone you see past their imperfections and you believe in the impossible. Once Cairo opened herself to the possibilities the blessings became endless. Real life issues with lots of love.

Very Good Book

I love Israel and Cairo met. An African American Female Archeologist is so beautiful. Israel was feeling Cairo. Cairo didn't think she was worthy of being in a relationship because of her condition. A lot of women suffer from the problems Cairo has. Israel told Cairo loves her regardless. I am so happy they got married and Cairo was able to have babies.
