Status Updates From The Sheikh's Virgin Bride

'There was evidence of his long day in the dark shadow bearding his jaw, and her muscles tensed a little in female response to such evidence of his maleness.' God heterosexuality is so weird

Surprised to see a definite condom reference by PJ! I guess now I know there won't be a surprise pregnancy (though I suppose there's enough time for one later on)...also nice to see that the heroine is "proactive" & not passive despite this being her first time

'Petra’s heart jumped like a hooked fish throwing itself against her ribcage.' Woof. What a simile!

Heroine calling hero a whore based on flimsy evidence rather than the other way round is a new one

Hate it when people are described as exotic bc of their ethnicity...so many things are annoying me about this book, but I want to find out how the situation with the heroine's family is resolved

I was annoyed about him also being of mixed British and Zuran (whatever) ancestry as well (bc obviously a totally ~foreign~ man couldn't be a viable love interest for our delicate English rose heroine) but I can set that aside to appreciate him being horny about her biting him

'Look at British nobility. All from arranged marriages, and with pretty good results generally speaking' - in 2003!!

Ah, this takes place in a fake country

I feel like PJ is going harder with the exclamation points in this book than usual, but it's early yet

The spoiler-blurb spoiled this beautiful story

Of course I'm over half-way through. Complete and utter twaddle but I can't help myself!

Reading to lighten things up while tackling a gritty new-to-me detective (novel)

H and h's dialogues are so funny (^_^)
