But for Shaheen, it wasn't even an option for him to doubt her. In any other book that would have been the cue for doubts and angst to poison the hero's mind. Then things do wrong and every evidence is against her. He just resumes loving her as if he'd never stopped. When they meet again when she's grown up and his eyes don't recognize her, his heart does. She didn't only love him, she believed in him, would sacrifice anything for him, starting with her own heart and happiness. Then he became her best friend for the next eight years. the first time her eyes fell on him was when he'd just saved her life. The hero and heroine first met when she was six and he was fourteen. The epiphany was that for someone who's been reading romance regularly, I'm rarely reading about 'love'.īut this book was about just that.

and treating their 'love' interest accordingly. But what I usually get is two people who're at each others' throats for most of the book, who spend most of the story prisoner to their fears or insecurities or prejudices.etc. I'm reading those books 'for' the romance. I've been reading 'romance' for longer than I care to admit, and most of the time, I feel like I'm chasing a mirage. He will do anything for her - one of my favourite lines is ''He took her from gravity as he wished to from everything that caused her worry' How romantic! Can't wait for the stories of the other brothers Herres and Amjad!Īfter reading To Tame A Sheikh, I had an epiphany. When the chance comes for the Big Misunderstanding Olivia Gates goes against the normal and doesn't take it! Our hero believes in our heroine to the last drop of his blood. Passion is immediate and the love scenes are both intense and gentle and totally beliveable. Johara has loved him since she was a child and lived in the royal palace where her father was the keeper of the royal jewels and wanted to see Shaheen once more before he marries for poilitical reasons but that is not to be. Shaheen prince of Zohayd sees a woman across a crowded room and all though of duty and arranged marriages fly from his thoughts as he sees the woman who completes him - his heart, his soul mate his everything. If you want to read a story of true love, belief, and enduring passion - this is the one for you.
