Dirty Wild Sultan was a uniquely refreshing read with plenty of steam. Zain is the Sultan of Azmia and doesn't want to enter into marriage or a sexual relationship with any woman due to his past. Nasrin was a princess with a promise and wanted to live a life of happiness and fulfillment free of the constraints and duties thrust upon her.
Enter Zain...
Zain and Nasrin have a lot of baggage but despite that, they had incredible chemistry and I loved their romance. Getting married solves problems but more problems arise when they realize their connection goes deeper than a marriage of convenience. There was a little more unnecessary drama than I wanted and some plot points just didn't make sense. But will I read more of Mahi's books? You bet.

The audacity of a girl to stay up reading until 5am with an alarm set at 6am only to wake up at 7am with only 20 mins left to get ready for her second day of inset day.
It’s me. I’m the girl.
And no. I regret nothing 🙂↔️
This is my first book I finished for this month of August which I just don’t want to end that’s why I kept on procrastinating even tho I really really reallyyyyy wanna read it and finish it already 😆
Maybe that’s why after bit by bit of savoring it and reading it one night I was just like over the teasing 🤭 and read the rest in one go 💜

I love Mahi’s books!! This was a short read but it’s full of all the things I love, specially the steamy scenes. Nasrin and Zain were amazing, I loved their interactions from the beginning and how great their chemistry was. I also love royalty books so I enjoyed the plot and all the drama.
Zain is the Sultan of Azmia and thanks to his rough childhood with his father he was very reluctant to have sex and be with a woman. He was very protective of his little sister and his family in general. He met Nasrin and they both felt attracted to each other, their attraction started growing from day one and their steamy scenes were really hot.
Nasrin was a princess determined on being happy and fulfilling her promise to her mother. She didn’t want to get married just to honor her father so meeting Zain was the perfect opportunity to be free of her father’s orders. She was carefree and caring and she had a great relationship with her younger brother and then Zain’s siblings.
I loved all of Zain and Nasrin’s scenes together, they always combusted when they were together. The story is addictive from the beginning and I can’t wait to read more about them and their families.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book.

The blurb of this book really appealed to me, so I decided to give this new to me author a try. There was so much that I liked about this book but there were also some things that I didn't. What worked for me? I loved that at the beginning this book takes a fresh and surprising stand. I really liked the characters individually and as a couple. The chemistry was easy to feel. The sparks and heat they generate was plentiful and enjoyable. Both characters carry some heavy baggage and have painful and complicated familial relationships. I truly enjoyed the overall feel of this book. I felt the author did a wonderful job in immersing the reader in a place and culture that not everyone is extremely familiar with. Plus, as an added bonus there are several extremely intriguing secondary characters that will have you looking forward to their stories. Now, what didn't work so well for me? In my opinion there was a lot of flip-flopping done over the course of tis book and some things just didn't seem logical sense to me. I refuse to give spoilers but I firmly believe that if you read the book you will very quickly begin to see what I'm talking about. This unfortunately unsettled me and lessened my enjoyment of this book. However I still thought it was very good and I will be checking out more books by this author. This is my candid review that I am freely posting.

The main reason why i picked up this book ws its blurd, it made me want to read the book.
I have never before read a book set in the middle eastern countries, so i was excited to know more about thier culture through the book.
This book revolves around Sultan Zain, who needs to find a wife but he just doesn't want to enter in a sexual relationship with her because of the baggage he carries, which is later reveiled in the book.
I liked the character of narsin so much, she was brave, outspoken,intelligent and sounded very reasonable at time. Also the relationship Zain shared with his brother and sister was precious.
they both met at a club and the part which was a little wierd was that he just a few mins back maybe accepted being assexual and then he spend a whole night with her and it was hot but a little tiny bit odd.
I was expecting a little more drama but otherwise it is a good book, sweet and sexy at the same time and I'm definately going to read the next book which is about khalid, who is supposedly the Bad, naughty brother.

Another great read from Mahi, Dirty Wild Sultan takes us on the wild ride of Princess Nasrin and her Sultan Zain. It was a quick but super steamy read, I definitely enjoyed reading it. The first night that Nasrin and Zain spent together was 🔥 🔥 🔥 and it only gets hotter from there!. My heart breaks for both Zain and Nasrin about their childhoods. However, Mahi done a great job at helping us feel what they went through back then, versus also how they feel in current time. She told the story beautifully and I really feel like she done the characters and their suffering perfectly.
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻Mahi tells the story of a strong love relationships, with promotions healthy conversations. As well as women equality. 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻
My heart did break for Narsin and Zain (as well as his siblings) at the beginning of IV,and I even got teary-eyed, but I was hopeful that Zain was doing his best to protect the love of his live. •You’ll have to checks out the book to see if Zain and Nasrin can work out their differences or if she will marry someone else! • I highly recommend this story! I hope we get to see both Zara and Zayed happy (and hopefully together 😉) soon!
The only downfalls I have found with this book? Is why did R drop that bombshell at lunch and how did her find out? Also, I wish we would have gotten more of the relationships with both Zara and Nasrin, as well as Nasrin and her favorite brother. 4.5 stars and I will likely read again!!
•I received a ARC in exchange for my honest opinion. All of my thoughts and opinions are those of my own.•
If you enjoyed Mahi writing in this book, you should also check out The Unfolding Duet: Unfolding Ethan (Book 1) and Unfolding Kiara (book 2) which I also highly highly recommend those as well.

3.5 Stars. I read it on Kindle.
This book was very fast paced and steamy!! It Hooked me right in!
I haven't really read anything based in the Middle East and this was a good change. The book, I think, did a good job describing what was going on in the separate countries and the pressure that both Zain and Nasrin had in and out of their relationships. But with the relationship between the two of them, in the book you can feel it growing. Which I thought the author good considering this was such a fast paced book. Another thing I think she did well was the dynamics of the family and really am looking forward to seeing what will happen with them in this story line.
Given that this is a quick read, there were some things within the book that didn’t make sense that the characters did and it kind of messed with the reading experience for me. Plus, other times the book seemed to be too rushed and too spontaneous.
But taking all that, this book is a good read and I recommend this to anyone that wants a good, fast, steamy read.

I received this book courtesy of Voracious Readers Only, in exchange for an honest review.
I enjoyed this book more than I thought I would for the sole fact, it wasn't just about the 18 plus content, it actually showed two characters having to overcome obstacles and fall in love on the way. In most books with similar plot lines, the male ruler expects his spouse to bow to his will or be second in command. This book has multiple strong female characters, who do not step down for anyone and rule with their spouses not watching from the sidelines.
The plot line was beautifully crafted and showed obstacles most other stories about Sultans do not exhibit. In this world we see main characters having to change their point of view on the world and change how they react to the world around them, we see Zain learn how to be himself and accept his past and Nasrin learn to be who she is without worrying about stepping on someone else’s toes. This is personally one of my new top books, and I would highly recommend to anyone wanting a love story that doesn’t happen at the snap of your fingers.

Dirty Wild Sultan by Mahi Mistry is the First book in the Alluring Rulers of Azmia. This is the story of Nasrin and Zain. Zain has sworn off women and marrying even though with his title he is supposed to but seeing his parents relationship and how cruel his father was makes this decision for him. But, really Zain has never been tempted to break that promise to himself until Nasrin. Nasrin is a princess to a poorer area and someone that has turned down every marriage proposals. But with Zain she feeling the pull to him. Enjoyed their story.

I really wish I could manually add a 6th star to goodreads for this book. This book was absolute perfection for me !!!!! it had me swooning drooling and fawning over the main characters. I don’t want to reveal much except you must must must read this book like now. It will definitely be worth your time. I have a feeling the series just the better. Looking forward to the next book . Yayy.

This is a new author for me to read and I am glad a took a chance. What a very refreshingly good read. What's not to love about a very sexy sultan looking for a wife but with a twist? A really good storyline and I loved the characters. Zain a very forthright character somewhat living with the past thoughts of his family and then to come upon Nasrin and have a one night stand. Oh lala. and what a one night. The rest of the story centres around these two and their problems. Will they get together and have a happy ending. Read this and see. I am looking forward to the next book and hope this will become one of my go to authors for this genre. If this book is anything to go by I think it will. A very entertaining and interesting story. Not to be missed.

I have read from this author before but I didn’t know what to expect and I’m telling you now even though it’s different and more dirty I loved it. This is an arranged marriage insta attraction with a twist romance. The chemistry was off the charts between these two and I couldn’t put the book down. The ups and downs they both go through and the push and pull is so strong. I cannot wait to read more of this series because if this is how she’s starting it I’m sure it’s going to get better with each book.

I loved this book. The characters are fun to follow along with and the sass and humour are hilarious. Zain, Sultan, and Nasrin, who becomes Sultana, have such an interesting relationship and the sexy times, whew, get ready.

It doesn't matter where you come from but when it comes down to love it's all the same.
Zain has always said he will never married but then he meet Nasrin and it all changes with hidden feeling and scared to admit them at frist.

A fun, steamy sultan read that was over all really enjoyable. I’m more of a dark romance reader, but enjoy a lighter book from time to time and this hit the mark. The steam was top notch, especially from Zain who claimed to want to stay celebrate! I also loved the sibling dynamic, I can’t wait to check out Khalid and Zara’s books.

I have never read any novels on sultans before so was not sure what to expect. It was a short and nice read and very lightweight.
One of the biggest issues for me was that the characters were not very consistent. Almost everyone was changing their mind every few pages. e.g. Zain saying he will never marry or have sex and then does it in a split second and we do not even know more about why he decides to change his mind.
I like the fact that the female leads are given strong characters and I hope that the next books have much stronger characters. I like the emphasis author put on consent and communication.

Nasrin has lived a life of hatred by her father he accused her of alot of things that had nothing to do with her so she went out to a night club to have a few drinks. Zain went out to a night club not that he wanted to do that, he just wanted a life without love and no sex, he didn't want to be like his father. Both are expected to marry Nasrin was told she had to marry a man of sixty-four years old while she is in her twenties, Zain is supposed to marry and produce an heir will these two find away around their problems.

I loved this book
The first thing that I loved about this book was the setting, the Middle East was so different from almost every romance book. They are usually in the States, Englund, Ireland or Scotland. This setting for whatever reason made everything seems so much more intense and dramatic. Zain was an awesome lead character, going through so much personal torment. Nasrin is a strong , intelligent, independent, or trying to be, woman, with an overbearing family. The way the author brought these two people together was really wonderful to read. The little glimpses into the culture were awesome, and the book so unexpectedly exciting. The sexual intimacy was exciting and beautiful. 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️. I can’t wait to read about the other members and friends of this family. I highly recommend this book to everyone.

I received an ARC from the author and am voluntarily leaving my review. This is the first time for me reading anything written by Mahi. Zain is a sultan and Nasrin is a princess. When they meet there is a strong attraction between them. His plans were going one way and hers were going another. These two can have something very special if they are willing to look at the future a little differently. Underneath it all they are actually perfect for each other. Their story has plenty of ups and downs. Zain and Nasrin find family and a future together.

I liked this book and would recommend this to others. This book was interesting and kept me hooked from the beginning, but it was a bit fast paced and sometimes predictable. But at other times, there were twists in the story that completely surprised me. This book was also different than what I usually read because it was set in the Middle East, and included sultans and Islam. Through this book, I learned more about different cultures that I haven't been exposed to. But apart from all this, I recommend this book to anyone looking for a fast, steamy read.

Zain, Sultan of Azmia, meets Nasrin, Princess from a country with whom relations are broken, and the attraction is instant. There is steam from the outset and they are sweet together. However he’s worried he might turn out like his father and tries to resist going all in. After misunderstandings they find their way forward aided by his siblings and his best friend.
A sweet, relatively short story this can be read as a standalone but also sets the scene for other characters to get their HEA.

Alluring Rulers of Azmia is a great first installment to this series! It starts off well and I enjoyed the heat and intrigue. The characters are well-developed, making it easier to connect with them. I was also impressed by the setting, which enhanced my reading experience. It's hard to say what I liked more, the romantic elements or the suspense, but overall I am super excited to see where this series goes.

I think my issues with this book were a me thing and not necessarily do to the book itself. I've been in a bit of a reading slump lately and have just found myself not being able to really connect. I liked that this book was different than what I normally read though and maybe I will give it another try in the future.
