The Mistress Bride by Michelle Reid
5.0
This book had it all, from forever disappointed parents to rebellion against the world, when in love. This has the power to put any reader through an emotional wringer.
Like some of the reviewers before me, I too am not a great fan of ‘Sheikh’ romances, but Raschid clinched a spot among top bookish romantic heroes. He is truly in love with her, and against their family’s aristocratic, and cultural snobbery, he and Evie weather all the storms together. The writing is so wonderful (and very few authors could do that to me) that I could feel Evie’s anger, frustration, vulnerability, within me. Now, this book was what I would call a true love story. How paparazzi can sometimes be a nuisance for the people in position has been shown. But what I loved most was their verbal war with each other which made the book spicier. I loved the character of Asim, he appears more as a friend to them both in spite of actually being who he is (which came as a shock to me as much as it shocked Evie!)
