    About this audiobook

    Arabia 1818.

    Lady Celia Cleveden considers herself practical, resourceful and independent; the perfect wife for a junior diplomat. But George, her husband, seems more interested in her playing the nurse than a wife, and Celia is beginning to wonder if the match has been a huge mistake.

    En route to the exotic kingdom of Q’adiz, they are set upon by bandits and George is killed, leaving Celia at the mercy of the kingdom’s fiercely attractive prince, Sheikh Ramiz al-Muhanna.

      Lady Celia has entered into a loveless marriage at the request of her father, a prominent British diplomat. But she is optimistic. After all she likes George and is very excited to be going with him on his assignment in Egypt. No sooner do they arrive then they are sent on a mission to the remote kingdom of A'Qadiz. On the way their caravan is attacked and George is killed. Celia is rescued by the handsome prince Ramiz, ruler of A'Qadiz. Ramiz offers Celia a place to stay (his harem) until someone can come from Cairo to take her home. At first shocked, Celia is soon tempted by the pleasures of the East and by Ramiz, himself.Well, this was my first Harlequin Historical. I have to admit that stories of harems and desert sheikhs are pretty tempting to me. I was pleasantly surprised. I found it all together charming and erotic at the same time. The writing was much better than I expected and I enjoyed Celia's adventures very much. The author put in a nice historical note at the end to explain how she changed the amount of time travel would take for the sake of the story and the general location of the imaginary kingdom. This was very helpful. But to tell the truth I was so taken with Ramiz and Celia that I really did not care too much about things like that. It was lots of fun. I will be reading the next in this mini-series for sure.

      l loved to listening it , it was the best book ever. l have so much to say about this book but l can't because lm not very good to write in english , sorry
    • 3/5
      I honestly wasn't expecting much from this, so I was pleasantly surprised that it was better than I thought it'd be. I wasn't sucked into this world, but I liked the characters well enough and I was mildly curious how things would play out. I hadn't known of this author before, but my library has the second book on audio as well, and I'll probably listen to it too.
    • 1/5
      It was all messed up. You read the first chapter and the next one is a repeat of the one you have just finished. It is like that through out the book. I had to keep skipping chapters to get to the ones that did not skip back. It was terrible.
    • 4/5
      This book shone in its romantic aspect. Along with the heat of passion (and boy is there a load of that!), the tenderness of romantic love makes itself abundantly felt. I loved the moments where we got to see the domestic side of Ramiz's and Celia's relationship: talking about one's day, planning for the future, teaching children, and just enjoying each other's silent company under the stars. The two main characters seemed to really balance each other out. They were sweet, intelligent, and passionate together. The world building is really a key point to this book. The author transports her readers to the Islamic Middle East very well. From clothes and food to glimpses into a more well rounded view of this world (like the real meaning of the word harem), I felt like I was living and breathing the setting with the characters. Not all romance novels take the time to build up a setting for the main focus, the romance, but this author and book did. It pays off in a fantastic sensual experience to go along with the emotional one.While the overall plot of the book had some romance novel clichés and there was enough denial going on between our main characters to create a whole other river besides the one in Egypt, this book was extremely enjoyable. I definitely recommend it for anyone who enjoys tender romance in exotic locations and who can stomach a load of sexual situations and a few eye roll moments.
