I give this book 3 out of 4 stars

This book had me pulling my hair off my head at every twists and turns.. It had me biting my nails because i could not just stop reading it i just had to know what was about to happen next.
Especially when they left for his country

At first when i read the title what i had expected was a normal fairytale love story and a happily forever after. From the very first page this book had me intrigued.... I anticipated the prince to meet an ordinary bubbly, full of life kinda girl .. Find her interesting and later reliasing he had fallen in love with her... While the girl already fallen in love with him to have some difficulty in accepting the truth but finally comes in term with it and together they face some hardship to a bright future..

but..but..but newsflash
Nothing as such actually happened


From the very start cat, the female lead had a strong,determined,blunt and candid character which she held till the very end of the book.. Completely opposite of her twin and others in her family.. Her character flared above all.. When you read about her and see her progress through the years you can actually look at the lady she was going to become in her coming years.. One thing that she missed was that heart burning passion... Passion so strong that in can even make the sane insane and that was brought to her by her prince. Yet she still held her own with the prince. No matter what he presented her with.

Sadiq , the male lead came off as a srong,tough,powerful,compelling,persuasive and intense character from the very start.
What didn't seem right with him was that his love and need to be with his beloved might have took form of an obsession or a fixation..
I have to appreciate the way it tells and introduces its reader to an entirely different culture so easily and effectively. No only the journey to another country but its culture was also based on facts and that had me involved and curious..

You can imagine the outcomes while reading this book but let me tell you it would surprise you as it did me.. Its hot,passionate,rough and refreshing in its own original ways..
The beauty and insight it provided was a taken account of..

The way this story juggled between the two cultures was spellbinding and transfixing..

This was an interesting review. You made a lot of things bold but not the rating, which is supposed to be bold. I like the way you explain the book. The cover art is pretty and I love romance.

I hold those who favor fire.

I think I know enough of hate.
To say that the destruction of ice is also great
and will suffice." - Robert Frost

Seems interesting and the author has been known to do good work. Thanks for reviewing this. I might check it out.
