About the author
Caroline Cross
69 books17 followersJean M. Heaton, alias Caroline Cross, lives and write just outside of Seattle with her husband and daughters, one very large hairy dog and one picky little Siamese cat.
She says: "I will never forget the first time I read a Silhouette Desire. An avid reader of everything *except* category romance, I was surprised to find myself swept up in the magic of two strong people falling irrevocably in love against all odds. It was both a moving and exhilarating experience, and one I do my best to recreate for my readers. For me, every new book is an adventure. I love strong, larger-than-life heroes, heroines with the courage to take chances, the roller coaster ride of two special people coming together – and always, happy endings."

This is the first book I read by Caroline Cross and I think it is going to be my last one. I didn't like the "romance" of these two, I don't know... It was so forced, that's what I felt. This sheikh was not a seductor at all, I could categorize him as ones of the boring sheikh I have ever read :/ he was no sexy, no alfa-male :S and Catherine was cold and pompous.
There wasn't any angst, the mistery about the death of Catherine's father wasn't resolved, the end was rushed and the epilogue was short, two paragraphs!!! I think this two H/h are going to work hard for their marriage because I didn't believe in that HEA, I didn't feel they were in love. u_u*

This is the third book in the series, and I liked it, but not as much as I liked the first two books. Maybe not as good and romantic as the first two installments, but this book has its charm. This was such a great addition to the series. I can't wait to read the next.

Sheikh Raj needs to find a wife to meet the conditions of his fathers will. Being the product of a dysfunctional marriage on the part of his parents, he was determined not to make the same mistake in his life. He has chosen Catherine, a Princess in her country, as his future wife...now he needs to get her to agree and place a bet with his cousin that he can accomplish that in 30 days or less.
This was a nice romantic story in typical Harlequin fashion.

Not very interesting - the most interesting was the suspense regarding the father and his valet and nothing came of it. I kept waiting for at least an attempt on her life or something where the Hero could ride to the rescue, but nothing.
I know it is part of a series but it felt as a filler for hopefully more interesting stories, but not worth the time.
