This was included in a bumper pack of e-books I dowloaded. The name stood out as I currently live in Arabia, and when I uploaded it onto my kindle, I saw it was a short read, so I thought it would be a break from the longer novels I've also got on the go at the moment. Turned out it was a harlequin romance, which I would never have picked up if I saw the cover!

No story, two-dimensional characters, predictable to the max! Need I continue? Actually I do, as I found the authors lack of insight into Bedouin cluture to be offensive and racist. I understand there is a market for romance novels, and I applaud an author who can do it well, but this is beyond the pale - it's offensive, unresearched, badly written drivel! Who actually spends money on this crap?! I feel bad enough for reading it, but at least it was free!
