**I was given a copy of the Billionaire Sheikh Trilogy for an honest review**
When a man's opportunity for revenge presents itself, Abdul doesn't waste any time. In desert lands two families have shed blood and killed in the name of keeping their families safe. Both families have lost loved ones, but neither has taken steps to resolve the feud. But Abdul never expected to fall in love with the pawn he was using for revenge. Now he'll do whatever it takes to bring an end to these family feuds without any more bloodshed.
Kate Miller is your typical American girl just trying to pass finals to graduate from college. But being kidnapped and whisked away to a foreign country has put a damper on these plans. Being an adoptive child, Kate has always felt there was something missing in her life but can't figure out what. She never thought her kidnapper would bring to light her true origins.
But as Abdul's father has said, there are snakes in the sand and ones willing to do whatever necessary to take down the Sheikh. Especially those greedy for more power.
I enjoyed reading about Abdul and Kate's journey to find themselves and come together to bring an end to unnecessary conflicts. However, I will say I was kind of disappointed it ended as abruptly as it did. It might have been nice to have an epilogue that showed if the family were able to come to some agreeable terms and how life changed for Kate after discovering her own royal background.
Although I did enjoy this story I will admit it was very hard for me to read. There were words that were missing or words added into the sentence which made no sense. Punctuation was also something I noticed that the author didn't pay too much attention to. There were periods in the middle of sentences, random commas and sometimes dialogue wasn't in quotations so I kept having to go back to reread to make sure someone was really talking out loud and not in their heads.

The storyline started out ok but sort of fizzled out. I'm sure the way the characters interacted amongst themselves would not really happen in an Arab country in this day and age. The relationship between the captive and the captor was too quick. I lost interest about a quarter of the way through the book.

Kate(Yasmin) was kidnapped from Kansas and taken on the other side of the world to meet her captor the Sheikh whom she promptly found herself liking very much but yet she still didn't understand why he wanted her and what he wanted from her the Sheikh Abdul thought he wanted to use her as revenge for past hurts but realized soon enough that that was not really what he wanted at all his so called right hand man whose father had been a servant to the Sheikh father but Hafiz thought that he was better than the Sheikh and that the Sheikh was weak as was his father but the difference between this Sheikh and his father was a lot more than the servant knew even though their were plenty of men around the country who were afraid just hearing his name his own arrogance would be bring about his doom. This was a nice short story with some twist that were quiet interesting. I received a copy for an honest review.

This is ok... not one that I will re-read. It started off good but as the story progresses it started to fall flat. The writing was ok in the book but what I personally did not like was hoe she went to be a sweet girl and "virgin" like to, after they slept together, the H was no longer Sheikh or Abdul but "my lover" That was like her first name of choice for him after the deed??!! The ending was all the sudden to me. and epilogue would have been nice cause to me it just ended and a lot of things were left unanswered. Like what is going to happen to the h's family?? will the H and h be together? will they marry? what about the h's adopted parents? as far as they know she is still missing?? Book got 2 stars cause the writing was ok, if not for the writing it would of gotten a 1 star. HEA was not believable to me.

I found the storyline and plot unique and interesting with kidnapping, betrayal, deceit, and ultimately, peace and love as wishful results. It's a wild ride, a seemingly simple American college girl is kidnapped and brought to a place in Saudi Arabia where she meets a young Sheikh, his original intent was to use her to force an enemy family (actually hers) to accept his rule. He decides not to conquer but negotiate instead, which does not go over well with all of his people. This story takes you into their lifestyle with plots, twists and turns that will keep you interested.

I enjoyed this book. Kate is kidnapped from Kansas and brought to the Sheikh in Saudi Arabia. Where she learns of her past, her family and falls in love. This first book was over too soon but I look forward to continuing the series with the second book!

Brought by the Billionaire Sheikh
This is a very good story more as I would expect that part of the world would have been, it had a story that was not about jumping in and out of bed.

Good Book
This was a good book. The only thing I didn't like about it was she really think about her parents, in America. At least, she should of call them, to tell them she was ok . The ending was ok, but they should have a wedding, and her American parents, was there.

Not your typical Billionaire story. The plot is great, although whoever did the proofreading didn't do a good job. It needs work grammatically and in spelling, but overall, I totally enjoyed!

Ok book
This was an okay book to read. Not much interaction with and between the characters. Only wish the ending was longer.
