This is an emotional roller coaster of a story that will have you in tears and smiling the setting is beautiful tents, the desert, beautiful palaces a gorgeous hero who is a Doctor as well and a heroine who has been through so much but can still make people laugh.
Adele Jenson is single a nurse and has such a great sense of humour even after what happened to her all those years ago she has her mother in a nursing home and visits daily she is loyal and strong but she loves her daydreams who wouldn't when it is about the gorgeous Doctor Zahir Al Rahal who also happens to be a Sheikh and Crown Prince yes Adele has a mad crush on Zahir but he tends to totally ignore her and prefer to work with other nurses Adele needs to get over Zahir and get a life but when Zahir's mothers ends up in the hospital this could be a changing point in her life.
Zahir is the Crown Prince of the beautiful kingdom of Mamlakat Almas but he works in the UK instead of in his country because his father is so determined to stick to the old ways with healers and not move into the newer ways there is a lot of angst and anger between them, he works hard and dates here and there and yes he notices Adele all the time but he must ignore the pull that spikes between them for his country his father is too steeped in the old ways to change but things are about to change thanks to his mother and the friendship that grows between her and Adele.
I loved this one from page one it is sensual moving and so emotional it hits all of the right buttons for a beautiful romance that opens up the old ways of a kingdom to the new and sees Zahir and Adele join together in such a moving HEA that brings joy to many people but yes make sure you have a box of tissues at the ready and there will be tears of joy as well. Thank you MS Marinelli for another fabulous story that will stay with me for a long time.

Carol Marinelli never disappoints me. Her books are passionate, emotional, and engaging.
I loved Zahir and Adele - they are beautifully developed characters and secondary characters are just as well-drawn. I really like the way Carol uses inner thoughts to illuminate her characters and never hides them from the reader.
I am not really into medical stories but as I read through Carol's back catalogue, I am beginning to be a fan!

I loved and enjoyed this book so much! This book isn’t just about love but about family, acceptance, and moving on. It was full of raw emotion and left me with a smile on my face. I loved both Zahir and Adele and can honestly say that they were absolutely perfect for each other! It also really helps that the secondary characters are also likable and fit well into the story. And the epilogue... ahhhh. It just killed me! When you need a break from those gut-wrenching books, this is probably a great option.

Il secondo harmony che ho scelto di leggere questo mese ha come protagonista maschile uno sceicco che svolge la professione di medico. Da appassionata di serie tv medical drama e di storie esotiche con protagonisti gli sceicchi, capirete perché non ho resistito a questo titolo. Zahir è un medico arrogante e distaccato che non ha fatto altro che ignorare Adele da quando lei ha iniziato a lavorare come infermiera nel suo stesso Pronto Soccorso.
Adele invece è talmente invaghita di lui, da non avere occhi per nessun'altro.
Oltre ad essere un medico, Zahir è anche un principe ereditario, un giorno sarà lui a regnare sul suo popolo, quindi conosce bene gli obblighi che ciò comporta, cedere quindi all'attrazione tenuta a freno per tanto tempo nei confronti di Adele non porterebbe a nulla di buono. Ma il destino ha deciso diversamente...
La storia, ambientata tra corsie d'ospedale e i luoghi incantevoli ed esotici del deserto, è molto carina ed appassionante. +Oltre ai risvolti romantici tra Zahir e Adele, l'autrice affronta anche i problemi e i segreti della famiglia di Zahir e del sistema sanitario del loro regno.
L'epilogo di questo romanzo breve è davvero molto bello, non vedo l'ora di leggere il prossimo libro di questa mini serie con protagonista il fratello minore di Zahir! Probabilmente sceglierò di leggere quello per il prossimo appuntamento della rubrica!
Lettura consigliata!

Simply loved this story. I got it in a two story book with Amalie Berlin. Love the family and story of the brothers. Carol has a scene of a kiss on a plane you will not want to miss. Great book.
