Rivals to the Crown of Kadar

review 1: I love dramatic and exciting beginnings and with an opening such as "Something's Wrong" I was captured - just like Elena! Queen of Thallia! Expecting to meet her fiancee, Elena is instead whisked away by Sheikh Khalil al Bakir, not before a dramatic attempt at escape which ends withboth rolling around on the desert runway.Khalil intends to hold Elena captive for four days - long enough to stop her from marrying her fianceewhich will also stop Elena's fiancee being crowned ruling Sheikh. Khalil believes heart and soul heis the rightful ruler and kidnapping Elena is part of his plan to become the ruling Sheikh. Khalil doesnt realise Elena has her reasons for marrying Aziz, and desperate to remain queen of her peopleElena attempts to be rescued. It's impossible though and a... morelthough she's young, Elena has a wisehead on her shoulders. Proving to Elena Khalil is not some barbaric warlord is a mission in itself. It also surprises Elena, she's been kidnapped and held in the neverending desert but hasall the comforts of home. During their time together the last thing Khalil expects is to have feelings for Elena... he doesnt have the time or inclination to trust, the last 25 years have beenleading him up to the day he retains the crown, the day is almost here but being in confined living space in the beautiful desert Elena and Khalil grow closer and closer with Elena questioningherself. Khalil was one of the best Sheikhs I'd read. He was dark and dangerous, strong and fearless,dashingly sexy, full of pride and very passionate about his people and his reasons for being ruling Sheikh. Although raised American, he's at home in the desert and had grown into a respected leader of his mothers people. Elena brings out a charming and witty side of himself and Khalil is worried about these feelings he's developing.Elena was every inch the queen, a young queen but with a wise head. She thought before she acted,she showed grace of a queen and the tenacity of a warrior. Her plan was always to escapebut she tried to plan well given she was in the desert and death was around every corner. Expectingbarbaric treatment Elena was surprised when she was treated as a queen and with respect. Elena is at odds with her heart when she realises Khalil is almost the first friend she has ever had in her sheltered life. Her giving heart and compassionate soul recognises Khalil as a man of pride.Elena and Khalil hadfantastic conversations which I well enjoyed. They were witty and throughlyenjoyable. I loved their banter and their serious moments and their indepth discussions on war.Captured by the Sheikh is an exceptionally exciting and gripping story. Khalil's race to the crown had me on theedge of my seat. I had breathless moments, for example, when Elena looking up to find Khalil pointing a gun at her andshooting... My heart litterally stopped while I turned the page! Beautiful writing with magicaldescriptive words flowed from the pen of Kate Hewitt. Khalil and Elena's back-stories were told with heart and compassion. The emotions evoked were heartfelt and I didnt want to reach the end. Katemasterfully played with Khalil and Elena, attraction was early on in the peace but she made themwait in such a way that as a reader you almost held your breath wondering if this was it? Is this the moment they stop wondering what if...I find it hard to elaborate on certain things because it will give the story away, but since I'vehad the book, I have read it twice and it will be read many times in the future. A Kate Hewitt masterpiece! I can not wait for Aziz's story, I'm very interested in reading hispoint of view and discovering why he does what he does in Khalil's story.
review 2: Determined to save her throne, Queen Elena Karras of Thallia is braced for a marriage of convenience with Sheikh Aziz al Bakir of Kadar as she disembarks from her royal jet. She is met by a disturbingly handsome stranger who whisks her away, not to the palace but to a desert camp. She has been kidnapped and all her plans are in ruin. She must escape in order to fulfill her father's dying wish for her to lead the people of Thallia. But the longer she is in the company of her captor, the more she wishes she could remain in his arms.At last, Sheikh Khalil al Bakir has put his plans to claim his rightful place as leader of Kadar into motion. Aziz must marry within four days or lose his claim to the throne so Khalil has kidnapped his bride-to-be and will soon seize the crown. However, Queen Elena has proven to be more enticing than Khalil expected, will he be able to let her go when the time comes? Set among the remote, hot, desert sands of Kadar, CAPTURED BY THE SHEIKH by bestselling author Kate Hewitt is exotic in local, characters and story. Elena is not a weak simpering victim but a strong self-possessed monarch dedicated to her people. Khalil is also loyal and determined to do what is best for his people, even if it means kidnapping Elena. Brilliant writer Kate Hewitt, captures her readers from the first frantic “Something's wrong...” and keeps them engrossed and committed to every word until the surprise revelation at the end. A gorgeous sheikh, sumptuous surroundings and a passionate romance, what more could you want for an enjoyable escape? less
