To Marry a Sheikh

by Day Leclaire

His birthday bride?

Zara would risk anything to escape the loveless marriage her ambitious stepfather had planned for her. She knew that a traditional birthday gift was being sent to the exiled Prince Haidar -- a woman for his pleasure! Zara was determined to be that woman....

Prince Malik was immediately suspicious of Zara when she arrived as a birthday gift from his cousin. But if she refused to explain her true mission, Malik would simply take control -- making her his mistress...and bride?

About the author

I love family first and foremost, which is why writing family sagas and stories that involve family is so much fun. Maybe you can tell that from my books since they always feature the warmth and joy and ridiculousness that comes from having a close-knit family.

I also love animals and have taken in rescue dogs and cats and fostered dogs for the local animal shelter.

And of course, I love writing. All I need is a functioning brain (batteries not included), a pen, and paper, and I can write anywhere. Please don’t let a conversation with me lag because my imagination takes over and I. Am. Checked. Out!

USA Today bestselling author, Day Leclaire is the author of more than 60 novels and has received an impressive eleven nominations for the romance industry's most prestigious award, Romance Writers of America RITA© Award.

Not to mention a whole lot of dust!

[Danielle The Book Huntress · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was a short but emotional read. I liked the infusion of customs from the heritage of the hero, and how initially Zara gives him gifts, and he then turns around and reciprocates. There was a deep bond between them that started when they first met and continued to intensify with each interaction. The relationship between the two was quite intense and passionate for a Harlequin Romance, another thing I liked about the book. Also the subject matter was fairly risque, a cousin gifting another cousin with a woman. I was never 100% if he meant for the woman to be a concubine or a dancer or something. It was never explained. But since it brought Zara and Haidar together, I can't complain. Nice quick read.

Una piccola storia d'amore, piccola perchè la storia è breve e forse per questo poco pesante e piacevole da leggere. Dal titolo e dalla trama pensavo si trattasse di un romano storico ma nonostante non sia il genere di libri che mi piace leggere, è stato piacevole farlo
