My rating: 3 of 5 stars
Such a disappointment from one of my favorite M&B authors.
Sharif, who is the emir of some little country in the desert, sees Irene, who is a nanny of sorts, at a wedding they are both attending in Italy somewhere. He’s having his last fling before he marries someone suitable and she’s looking for the man who will love her forever…ooh, aren’t we all!!!!
She plays hard to get…of course she does…she’s a virgin waiting for the perfect man and the gorgeous sheikh’s offers her a job as a companion to his sister in his palace….and before we know it….Irene is whisked off to wonderland to stay in his fab palace …oops, sorry that was the palace then, when Sharif took over as Emir at 15…yes 15 YEARS OLD….and built the palace from ashes to this
So, here is Irene , living the life of luxury, earning megabucks for a 3 month job, totally in love with Sharif, who loves her too…..but he just can’t do it with her…because he respects her and he has to marry some shrew for political reasons!!! What a sad thing………how could he ever agree to marry some like even for political gain??????
The guy must be mad….his subjects, including all the palace workers LOVE LOVE Irene…yes, she’s a real great gal….strong minded, caring, loving and wait….she loves his subjects such as much as they do.
..NO, I KID YOU NOT!!!
This is like one of those old-fashioned love stories….if you want heat…forget it…there ain’t any…..One of the reviewers mentioned something about it being a bit like reading a Barbara Cartland book…remember those???? Yes, I thought that too!!!!
But don’t despair….you all know that this is a HEA for the h/h…so I guess I am not giving away any spoilers when I tell you that Sharif & Irene finally “do get it together” in all ways…wink wink…u know what I mean……….so, the girl from the wrong tracks in that small town in USA, that are often called “white trash”, meets her prince and lives happily ever after…and oh yes, she has such a kind and loving heart….she gets her trashy Mom and sister sorted out in such a nice way…..Irene is one of those heroine’s that has her heart in the right place and deserved everything she got with her prince!!!
Oh, I gave it a 3 star….because the author took me on a really great tour of Dubai!!!!!!!!!!!!!
