Guys!!! This book was an absolute delight to read, I will always be a sucker for a man that is willing to give it all up for love. Hunt did EXACTLY that and more, the epilogue made me so happy. 

I loved everything about this book the fact that Leela did not cave into the expectations of others amazed me, she is literally a badass and walked Hunt like a dog and as she should!! 

Tbh she walked every existing man in this book that got in her way and my respects to her because she literally ate that up!! 

If you loved Anthony and Kate’s season in Bridgerton, I need you to stop what you’re doing and read this book asap 🤭

I cannot wait to read more romances from this author 🙌

I enjoyed this book, and it was a fun ride with Leela and Hunt. I enjoyed reading Leela as a character that wasn't just a damsel in distress. I also loved reading the parts where she was connecting with her Palestinian culture, and the
scene towards the end with her family brought me joy.
Some parts made me role my eyes
like the sugaring part. like, I got it the first time; she's a hairless babe.

2.5 stars.

I'm so sad, this was one of my most anticipated books in September and I was so excited to read it. I only started reading historical romance this year, and I've only ever read Tessa Dare's works - - which we may conclude, highly affects how I read other historical romance books. I found this to be more drama than romance.

As I've said, I'm accustomed to Dare's writing, and one of my problems with this book was that. It's not bad or poor writing, but the story flow was too slow for my liking. I find some of the conversations included in here were unnecessary and forced to fill in gaps.

I also found the plot to be predictable. When I got to chapter 4 or so, I was hoping it will surprise me by the end, but it didn't happen.

Also, I didn't like how there weren't a lot of scenes to show that Leela and Hunt were developing feelings deeper than intimacy, except for when they say so. There was also a time I found Leela hypocritical for suggesting a relationship with Hunt after the scandal, when she was very opposed to it prior. I understood that the time she found it agreeable, was the "best" time, however, the quick shift in mindset got me questioning where she really stood on the matter in the first place.

The things I liked most in the book was the political aspects of it. I loved how the society standards were often brought up, and challenged. I loved that Leela was different from the women often accepted to be of high status. Most of all, I loved her heritage background, it's so refreshing and I think the author did a good job with it. I wish there were more scenes of this, apart from when she uses Arabic terms.

All in all, I think this book wasn't for me. But other readers who have been reading historical romance might enjoy it more. I'd still love to read other books by Diana Quincy in the future, since her plots are very intriguing.

--Had to edit, because I realized I wanted to include how I'm looking forward to reading the next book! I'm highly intrigued by Griffin.
