review 1: WOW! This was a Great book! The emotions that I felt while reading this story were intense. The chemistry between Isabella and Adham was smoking HOT! There were a few times I wanted to smack Adham up side the head, and yell at him. He was all alpha male, and thought feeling love would make him weak. In the end Isabella taught him that their love only made the two stronger. The story starts out with Isabell wanting just two months to experience life. In two months she had to marry the sheikh to serve her country. All her life she was told what to wear, how to act, what to eat. She was smart, from books, but had no life experiences. She just wanted two months to shop, go to the movies, and go out to a real restaurant. She was never allowed the simple freedoms that so many pe... moreople take for Granit. She had never done any of those things, and she wanted to do so much. Isabella slipped away from her security detail. Adham caught up too her, and he was ordered to take her to the palace. Adham and Isabella ended up doing some of things on her dream list. He loved the happiness that lit up her face with each new thing she tried. She was full of life, She was innocent, and wore her emotions on her sleeve. Sample from chapter 2: She closed her eyes against mounting anguish, tried to fight the tears that were threatening. She didn’t want him to see how defeated she felt. How could a man who was allowed to do whatever he wanted, a man who roamed the world, lived by his own rules, possibly understand the preciousness of two months and ten days’ worth of freedom? Sample from chapter 5 – “Sometimes people miss beauty because it’s buried in everyday objects. But none of this exploration is every day to me.” He laughed softly, his breath hot against her cheek. “There is certainly nothing everyday about you.”Sample from chapter 7 – she was so hot inside. Burning. Emotions were at war with desire, a desire that was growing quickly into a need as powerful as her need for food. Water. Breath.Another sample from chapter 7 – “Adham.” She lifted her head, her blue eyes intent on his. She leaned in and pressed her lips lightly to his, only for a moment, her movements shy, her inexperience evident. He held himself still, kept his fists clenched. Because if he allowed himself any sort of free rein he would tunnel his fingers through her hair and devour her mouth, as he had longed to do since the first moment he’d seen her.
review 2: This was one of the first Harlequin books I've read and to be honest, I was taken aback by the sheer intensity of the emotions involved. The sexual attraction and all that sizzling/fizzling chemistry between the lead characters, up to the moment of their shared passion. I was also apprehensive towards the hero, with all his 'jerkiness'. But the author gave a view for audience to understand him through his history. As prideful as he was, at the very least, he truly humbled himself when he finally accepted his feelings for the heroine.It took me awhile to finish reading this because of all the intense emotion, but I'm glad I read it through. :) less
