She had no warning. First line, great line, I
know immediately I’m in for a great treat... trepidation as to what I'm going
to read next... can't wait!
Kavian ibn Zayed al
Talaas, ruling Sheikh of the desert stronghold Daar Talaas, has finally tracked
down his fiancée in the midst of the Canadian ski fields and hauls her
home. He's decided that he wants his
arranged Queen by his side. It is said
so it shall be! Amaya is devastated
she's been found, six months on the run and she's been half way around the
world and back in her travels. The last
thing she wants is to be cooped up in some god forsaken desert kingdom where
she will be Queen!
Kavian spends his
time convincing (or trying) Amaya she will make a fantastic Queen and he is
200% certain they will make the perfect team.
Once Amaya lets him in inch by inch it's harder for her to leave but
she's quite convinced for many reasons she can't be who Kavian is convinced she
can be. I loved the Sheikh Kavian
was. He was old ways to Amaya's western
modernised ways with most of the action taking place in his kingdom, the descriptions of which were
incredibly realistic and aided my imagination that I was right there preparing
dinner with Amaya for Kavian in the desert and I was right there during the
stuffy official occasions they had to attend.
Five stars for such
a strong and emotional story all of which is wrapped up perfectly in the last
chapter. It nailed exactly how Kavian is
and I think the author needs a massive high five because it was quite
perfect. I wish I could quote everything
Kavian said but I can’t because it's a perfect summation of why Kavian spends
11 chapters being who he is, acting how he does and saying what he does. And it's also why I leave the incredible
skill of writing to the authors because all through the book I had no idea how
to sum up in words how Kavian is. I
understood how he was but had no clue how to put that in writing and then when
I read the last chapter and what he said it was "hit the nail right on the
head" moment.
To finalise I give
Traded to the Desert Sheikh an whole extra star for the mention of my beautiful
country New Zealand, which I assume was inspired by the authors recent visit
<3 What a beautiful and magical few
paragraphs describing my country perfectly.
Sometimes I forget how lucky I am to live here, thank you!
