by Lizabeth Scott

This edition was previously published under the ASIN B00PEC2JZI

Ella had loved Prince Zahir secretly since she'd met him at her sister’s wedding. She'd thought he'd felt the same way, only to have her heart crushed when he chose another. For years she avoided him at all costs. She tried to move on, but it just wasn’t in the cards. When circumstances brought them back together, Ella found out some hard truths. Could she forgive him? Could they start over? Or had too many secrets spoiled what might have been?
Zahir made the decision to send her away for her own good. It was the hardest thing he had ever done. He spent years secretly watching over her until he thought she was ready for what he had to offer. Did he make the biggest mistake of his life? By never revealing his secrets could he have lost the love of his life? He refused to accept that. He must prevail and convince Ella that what they felt for each other was too strong to ignore.

Same old, same old. Zero supposedly has been in love with her since she was 18 and he hurt her and sent her away "for her own good" and then proceeded to f$@k anything for six years while he watched over her and pined for her. 🙄 She of course remains a virgin. Give me an f-in break. How is that romantic. The OW drama at the end was disgusting. She was a doormat and instantly forgives him. This could have been good if he had kept it in his pants while he was "waiting" for her. I wish I hadn't read it.

Deliciously cunning

This story goes to show that when you let the one you love go thinking it is for their own well-being and happiness you may not like what returns. But if it is true love then it all may just work out in the end.

Teach that guy a lesson

Oh boy! One clueless (but handsome) Prince and one determined heroine who is way too tolerant make for a entertaining romance.

[Teresa Lovin · Rating 5 out of 5]

A good followup to Sweet Surrender. We met Ella, Mari's young sister and now we are getting a more in-depth vision of her. Zahir is her match or is it adversary? In any case not so much on him.

While this story does stand on its own, it is recommended to read in order.

This book was an extreme disappointment. There was nothing great. I was expecting this book to have some agst and nice chemistry, but no. All there is unnecessary drama, pregnancy, horrible heroine, horrible characters. Why did I even read it?
