The forbidden romance between Khalil

and Elena is enjoyable due to the amazing chemistry they share, This is one of the few romances where both the hero and heroine are similar in their nature and have so much in common.
They both are different in their own way but are not polar opposite as it generally happens in romance.

Aleri What a wonderful, delightful book by Kate Hewitt, Loved it from the first page, Queen Elena arrived in Kadar to marry the Sheikh to save two crowns, His and hers. A marriage of convenience. Only one flaw in that plan she was whisked away by another into the desert to stop the marriage because he was the true ruler of Kadar.
In his eyes. Two people had learned not to trust, that love was a weakness, At a young age, they both had been ripped apart emotionally by circumstances, Khalil banished and shamed at such a tender age only had one mission to take back what was his.
The crown of Kadar as their rightful ruler, yet started to fall for this young Queen, who was strong, determined to save her own crown from those within who wanted her gone.
This is a story of learning to trust, rely on each other and how love was a strength, teaching each other that support and belief in each other can see one through so much and come out the other side a better person and the future isn't always what you think it is.
It was an amazing journey, Elena finally learned to let go and feel, because for so long she had to show no weakness, had to be strong, couldn't have a life outside of her royal life of duty.
Can't wait to read the second book Commanded by the Sheikh, Really entertaining story! I love Sheikh romances so this was right up my alley, Hero was strong, dedicated to his people, but not so inhuman that I couldn't like him, Heroine was strong and regal, shaped by the conflict in her country's council and the death of her parents, and she was very easy to like.
There were times she was a little bit too emotional, but on a whole she was a very worthwhile heroine, someone to root for.
The attraction between them was very sexy but not lewd, and I can see how and why they fell in love even though it happened in a very short amount of time.
The ending might have been a little cliche, but it was set up very well with clues throughout the story and it was, on a whole, a very satisfying ending to the book.
I really enjoyed this story a lot, Harlequin Presents readers, especially sheikh romance lovers, will be sure to like this one,

Thanks to Netgalley and Harlequin for providing a free copy of this book, Although it was nicely symmetrical, I didn't really buy it, it just seemed a little too pat, a little too neat to believe.
The whole tension point with the almostmarriage also went right over my head as unbelievable, A pity, I really enjoyed Elena and Kalil, their backgrounds and how they worked together, Perhaps if they had had more time in the desert alone together rather than focussing on politics so much it would have been more fun.
" I took your bride. I 'll take your throne, Because both are mine by right, "

Those are the words spoken by Sheikh Khalil al Bakir, the banishment and shame has turned him into man determined to reclaim the crown of Kadar from his rival.
He starts by kidnapping his enemy's bridetobe, She's a means to an end, so why he get's all inflamed at the thought of her in anyone else's bed but his own is a mystery he simply does not know how to solve, nor does have the time, he has a thrown to take over.


Queen Elena Karras of Thallia is prepared for a cold, mutually convenient marriage but instead she's carried off into the desert sand, where the virgin queen soon discovers an unexpected desire for her sinfully delicious captor, and leaves her craving for more and she get's it but when the game ends will Khalil walk away and leave her broken hearted or will he see himself through her eyes

This was a truly beautiful read of how two people learn to fight the battles of life together.
I loved the fiery passion that Khalil has, but sadly his passion for the throne is overshadowed with the thoughts of revenge and of course this made him the type of hero you can only have luke warm feelings for, but it is only for a certain period on the book , because as all fans of Harlequin Presents books know, there is always something or someone that will turn the person around.


And that person was Elena, beautiful, smart and always seeing the side of a person they attempt to hide from the world.
I loved Elena to bits! The author took me on a truly remarkable journey of how one man finds himself willing to fight for what he believes is his, and the one woman who let's him finally see the truth shine out from the revengedarkness that his mind has become.


I am taking away a message of life has it's way of guiding us on the wrong path, but it's in order to find the right one.
The trick of course is to not miss the right turnoff to take whilst on that wrong path, because the road up ahead might not bring along another turnoff to the road where the your calling is waiting for you.


I highly recommend this read for all fans of a excellent, deeply emotional Sheikh romance.
Kate Hewitt is simply one of the most remarkable author 's of all time and with each book her writing just get's better and better!
