review 1: This book had a great story and I loved the detail of the historic Egyptian sites they visited. I learned quite a bit about Egyptian history and gods while reading this small book....only 179 pages.The story opens up with Sheikh Khalid rescuing Liv from a horrible prison called Ozr in a middle eastern country. She was arrested for having drugs in her backpack. She allowed a "friend" to put her bag inside her backpack without knowing what was in it. Stupid, stupid move! Khalid gives "his word" that Liv is his betrothed to the government officials. Khalid always keeps his word! Liv has a hard time accepting prison or marriage....and so the story goes.
