My Review:
The heroine is a lawyer who's job is to bring the hero, the illegitimate son of a sheikh, home to meet his dying father. The heroine was offered designer duds as a perk of her job, that seemed a little inappropriate (the employer was not the hero). An immediate sexual attraction sprung up between them. I liked that Malik (who has his own story) was smart: the hero demanded the heroine share a suite with him, and Malik managed to appease the hero while remaining protective of the heroine (he offered her a key to lock her bedroom door to keep the hero out). I liked how they found themselves in bed. The conflict between them was good. I liked how he came after her.
My Rating: 4/5 stars, good read, no ick factors, the hero was a charismatic man.
