Nel mondo dello sceicco by Sarah Morgan
2.0
I am a fan of Sarah Morgan's books, but I found this one to be extremely frustrating. Often times, HP presents heroines are secretaries and incredibly naive virgins (unrealistic, but expected). I enjoy the usual HP tropes just as much as anyone but I also love heroines that dare to be different. Avery is different but not better and it's a shame that Sarah Morgan didn't push the character development further into a more nuanced person. Instead, Avery is so messed up that it's a mystery why Mal even bothered. (The answer being...because of love, of course. But if Mal had given up on Avery, I wouldn't have held it against him.)
Avery and Mal spend almost the entire book arguing and talking in circles and hurting each other because of Avery's problems. I like the HP Presents line because it's a form of escapism with romance and European locales and lifestyles of the rich and famous. This book was like getting stuck in a car with a very dysfunctional couple and not being able to get out.
