Goodreads Summary
Shelby wants to break away from the mold of her small town and make a name for herself in the big-city journalism world. While skiing, she meets mysterious stranger Hakim who is actually the prince of the Middle Eastern kingdom of Khali-dar.
When his enemies learn of Hakim’s connection to an American girl, they target Shelby. Fleeing to the safety of Khali-dar, Shelby falls deeper in love not only with the prince, but with his country. As she struggles to survive terrorist attacks, withstand the Sheik’s prejudice, and find her place in a world she doesn’t understand, she must choose which life she is willing to sacrifice—the comfortable one she has worked so hard to create, or the one with the man she loves.
My Review
Oh my goodness, this book is so much fun. This was the first book that Jennifer wrote, and it is up there as one of my favorites of hers. She is such a talented author and has such a wonderful variety of style in her writing. I loved Shelby instantly. She is a remarkable character. I loved how we knew Hakim’s secret early on as we witnessed his inner struggle with it. Hakim is a fabulous character too. I enjoyed how Jennifer took care in writing her main characters so well, and also her supporting characters. Nasir, Hakim’s bodyguard, was a silent but strong character, and Shelby’s mother was a doll. I loved the jump from Culver Springs (which reminded me of my husband’s hometown) to Khali-dar and the development of Shelby and Hakim’s relationship. Shelby was such a strong character and won the heart of everyone she came in contact with. I love the story behind the title too and how it all ties together at the end.
4 out of 5 stars. Another strong book from Jennifer. I will read anything this lady writes.
