Ms Baylor asked Kate and Molly for their permission slips so they could attend a European exhibition soccer game after school, but the girls had forgotten to ask their mom. The teacher phoned Diane Delacort and asked her to meet them at the event where she could sign the permission slips for the file. But when she finally arrived at the gate, they told her she was with the Shiekh in the owners section? She was confused. But she headed to the 3rd level and tried to enter.
A bodyguard stopped her and she argued that her pass said she could enter. A voice behind her said the pass only stated that ‘God is Great’; and the door she was trying to enter was for the male members of the Shiekh’s family. When she identified herself as a member of the school soccer team, he said of course, her body was sturdy and thick like a coach’s would be! She was furious at that and, as she thought of all the unfair things that had happened to her, she hauled back and slapped him! He was highly offended that a woman had slapped him in front of everyone, and he demanded she be arrested!
But thinking things over, he realized that she actually was a challenge, and he had not seen such spark in a woman in a long time. This called for a show of proper discipline -- not publicly, but in private. And he was ready to provide that service! Sparks would fly! But would she ultimately find her HEA?
This was a good story that had just the right amount of humor. The strong characters were well developed and likeable. The heroine had spunk and stood up for herself, which the reader could admire. I do recommend this book. It was an enjoyable read. I voluntarily reviewed this book and my comments reflect my honest opinion.
